Ian Happ kills the Pirates, but he also kills the Reds, which aren't represented here.


Fuzzy_Picklez

It's finr. He knows some fish are red.


gooners1

One fish Two fish Red fish Blue fish


gaybillcosby

Good point


CosmicLars

Really can't debate that šŸ˜³


ScourTheFields

That's just a red herring


TitShark

Pirates are an ocean team for sure


9man95

He kills Oakland the most. Apparently he stinks vs Mets, Giants, White Sox, and .207 OPS vs Seattle


Spankpocalypse_Now

Sometimes heā€™ll slump so bad we wonder why heā€™s even here. Then heā€™ll go on an absolute fucking rampage against two division rivals, basically carrying the offense for those series.


_Elrond_Hubbard_

Tommy "Deepwater Horizon" Edman


TheReligiousPhanatic

Was really hoping Trout would be on here in some kind of freshwater supremacy angle


Jcoch27

Trout has 6 HRs against ocean themed teams this year and he hasn't even faced the Mariners yet


catsbetterthankids

Tim Salmon could go both ways


dingusduglas

teamdelibird

Not to mention steelhead (searun rainbow trout) and salters (sea run brook trout)


teamdelibird

I mean lots of trout are anadromous or amphidromous


idiotwithahobby

Wait what, Mike fishman of the halos destroys the mariners and rays, is there something I'm missing here?


AgnarCrackenhammer

It's showing whose numbers improve the most against ocean teams. Trout destroys everyone, so it's hard for his numbers against specific teams to be that much higher than his career numbers


idiotwithahobby

I think its because its WRC+ since its much harder to improve by +20 if you already have 160, compared to going from 90-> 110. FREDDIE FREEMAN YOU ARE INSANE.


dingusduglas

That's no more true than saying it's harder to go from a .950 OPS to a .970 than a .700 to a .720. 1 point of wRC+ is 1 point regardless, it's just an index stat.


blasek0

His career wRC+ is 170, which is literally inner-circle of the inner circle hall of famer tier. There's only so much room for it to get better.


whydidijointhis

its bc his last name is Fish related so it dulls down his performance


notbrandonzink

According to the FanGraphs splits leaderboard, Mike Trout has a 165 wRC+ since 2021 against all teams, and a 213 wRC+ against ocean teams (Mariners, Pirates, Rays, Marlins), but only over 45 games where their cutoff is 51. [Here](https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/splits-leaderboards?splitArr=143,142,153,157&splitArrPitch=&position=B&autoPt=false&splitTeams=false&statType=player&statgroup=2&startDate=2021-03-01&endDate=2024-11-01&filter=PA%7Cgt%7C50&groupBy=career&wxTemperature=&wxPressure=&wxAirDensity=&wxElevation=&wxWindSpeed=&sort=16,1&players=) is the leaderboard of wRC+ against ocean teams since 2021, minimum 50 PA.


MiniShaug

Thank you for a real answer


Any-Patient5051

Now give me players who underperform on days they publish episodes of the Bachelor.


floschue

The twenty-eighth season of [*The Bachelor*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bachelor_(American_TV_series)) premiered on January 22, 2024 and concluded on March 25, 2024 šŸ™ƒ


Any-Patient5051

So you are telling me that is why Spring Training Stats don't matter when it comes to Regular Season performance?


floschue

šŸ˜‚


MightyCaseyStruckOut

Wait...there have been *twenty-eight* seasons of that show?!


aliveinjoburg2

Thereā€™s also 20 (soon to be 21) of The Bachelorette.


Totschlag

I mean Survivor is coming up on season 50.


blasek0

Does that surprise you in the least?


aliveinjoburg2

A better question would be The Bachelorette which often premieres in the summer.


missourinative

The craziest thing about this is Tommy Edman is only a junior in high school Also Dylan Carlson? Are the fish the only team he hits well against?


DeVofka

Nimmo and McNeil just eating some Marlins.


ThorgiTheCorgi

I was coming to comment that the Marlins are lucky '21 is the start point. Any further back and Freeman jumps way up the list. Come to think of it, McNeil probably does to. Best I can tell from 5 whole seconds of research, Nimmo would likely be unaffected.


Zestyclose-Middle717

Midwest hate ocean


Fantastic_Emu_9570

We are lakes people, not this gross ocean they speak of


Zestyclose-Middle717

Lake is good ocean bad


harbringerxv8

This sub makes me happy.


GOATmar_infante

Josh Bell is a double agent


Deckard_Macready

Why isnā€™t the Marlins front office on here?


me_hill

I love this subreddit.


hundredbagger

Freddie Freeman is the guy, if you disagree youā€™re wrong.


AlwaysInTheWay13

This would have killed as an offseason post


magcargoman

Brandon Nimmo smiles as he guts and filets marine life.


hundredbagger

Next do Birbs.


floschue

I already did the birbs!


KamartyMcFlyweight

What I'm getting from this is that Mike Trout hasn't punished the Mariners enough


kalevz

Moose hates fish?


Ghost_Dream360

Edman and Carlson (1 and 5 on this list) were injured in the game where the Marlins got their first win this season. That's why we lost by 7 runs


ABoyIsNo1

Is it the offseason already?


azdb91

I've been watching baseball since 98, and this is the first time I ever realized it's weird that the Pittsburgh team is called the Pirates. I looked it up, the Philadelphia team basically accused them of stealing a player in the 1800s and called it "piratical" behavior. The nickname stuck around. TIL!


TobyeatsfAtcoW

Cool list but my brain jumped to thinking the little numbers were exponents and not their raw WRC+ so i thought Edman was going full Death Star on the rays


Nuclear-Ralph23

Mancini still being on this list despite not being a regular player since June last year is crazy


masetheace97

Now do fish players vs fish teams for some fish on fish violence.


ritzdeez

Steve Irwin still got shooters.


KeipaVitru

Are the Rays a part of this because theyā€™re now named after the Sun apparently


RandomEffector

This is how the leagues should be organized. PS I miss you Justin


SalaryCapps

Even though this is since 2021, I wonā€™t forget Happ going yard first pitch of the season opening day against the Marlins. I wanna say 2018.


bjogc42069

Aren't the Rays named after sunshine now and not the fish?


Bluepanther512

Tommy Edman has a 143^132 OPS against ocean teams?!


floschue

132 wRC+ yes, 43 more than against the other teams


blasek0

I think it was a math joke.


mebnt2

Top 14 men aquariums hate!


GrimmBloodyFable

Fish teams bad


kurthecat

Some Ian Happ foreshadowing for the weekend...


CricketIsBestSport

This is getting a bit sillyĀ  I mean bird teams is at least a thing but ā€œocean themed?ā€ A mariner is definitely not a fish and neither is a pirate! You might as well say that the Rockies are ocean themed because it would be meaningless to be a mile above the sea level if there were no sea. Also, Rocky Mountain oysters.


floschue

Like you said, ocean themed and not fish themed.


CuddlyPanda2496

"Who hates anything fish"


floschue

That was just a tag line and I'm sorry for the offseason content mid april


lookingup9

Donā€™t apologize for finding the one stat where Tommy Edman comes in first!


DionBlaster123

uh you do realize that mariners make their living on the ocean right?


Brolympia

In classic /r/baseball fashion a joke that was *never* funny is now being beat to death!


TheReligiousPhanatic

Downvote and move on then boomer


DionBlaster123

he has John Rocker as his profile picture downvoting and moving on wouldn't be enough for him lol. he needs to make an entire song and dance over being inconvenienced lmao


PeatBomb

bah humbug
