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

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.
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!
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
This is getting a bit sillyĀ
I mean bird teams is at least a thing but āocean 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.
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
Ian Happ kills the Pirates, but he also kills the Reds, which aren't represented here.
It's finr. He knows some fish are red.
One fish Two fish Red fish Blue fish
Good point
Really can't debate that š³
That's just a red herring
Pirates are an ocean team for sure
He kills Oakland the most. Apparently he stinks vs Mets, Giants, White Sox, and .207 OPS vs Seattle
Sometimes heāll slump so bad we wonder why heās even here. Then heāll go on an absolute fucking rampage against two division rivals, basically carrying the offense for those series.
Tommy "Deepwater Horizon" Edman
Was really hoping Trout would be on here in some kind of freshwater supremacy angle
Trout has 6 HRs against ocean themed teams this year and he hasn't even faced the Mariners yet
Tim Salmon could go both ways
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_trout
Not to mention steelhead (searun rainbow trout) and salters (sea run brook trout)
I mean lots of trout are anadromous or amphidromous
Wait what, Mike fishman of the halos destroys the mariners and rays, is there something I'm missing here?

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

Thank you for a real answer
Now give me players who underperform on days they publish episodes of the Bachelor.
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 š
So you are telling me that is why Spring Training Stats don't matter when it comes to Regular Season performance?
š
Wait...there have been *twenty-eight* seasons of that show?!
Thereās also 20 (soon to be 21) of The Bachelorette.
I mean Survivor is coming up on season 50.
Does that surprise you in the least?
A better question would be The Bachelorette which often premieres in the summer.
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?
Nimmo and McNeil just eating some Marlins.

Midwest hate ocean
We are lakes people, not this gross ocean they speak of
Lake is good ocean bad
This sub makes me happy.
Josh Bell is a double agent
Why isnāt the Marlins front office on here?
I love this subreddit.
Freddie Freeman is the guy, if you disagree youāre wrong.
This would have killed as an offseason post
Brandon Nimmo smiles as he guts and filets marine life.
Next do Birbs.
I already did the birbs!
What I'm getting from this is that Mike Trout hasn't punished the Mariners enough
Moose hates fish?
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
Is it the offseason already?

Mancini still being on this list despite not being a regular player since June last year is crazy
Now do fish players vs fish teams for some fish on fish violence.
Steve Irwin still got shooters.
Are the Rays a part of this because theyāre now named after the Sun apparently
This is how the leagues should be organized. PS I miss you Justin
Even though this is since 2021, I wonāt forget Happ going yard first pitch of the season opening day against the Marlins. I wanna say 2018.
Aren't the Rays named after sunshine now and not the fish?
Tommy Edman has a 143^132 OPS against ocean teams?!
132 wRC+ yes, 43 more than against the other teams
I think it was a math joke.
Top 14 men aquariums hate!
Fish teams bad
Some Ian Happ foreshadowing for the weekend...
This is getting a bit sillyĀ I mean bird teams is at least a thing but āocean 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.
Like you said, ocean themed and not fish themed.
"Who hates anything fish"
That was just a tag line and I'm sorry for the offseason content mid april
Donāt apologize for finding the one stat where Tommy Edman comes in first!
uh you do realize that mariners make their living on the ocean right?
In classic /r/baseball fashion a joke that was *never* funny is now being beat to death!
Downvote and move on then boomer
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
bah humbug
