Braun..

Dude just homered again.. He is ridiculous.

Why did they wait so long to bring him up? He'd have 20-25 dingers if he was on the team to start the season.

I'll let you know when that information is sent to me via a dream. So far this is all I got.

Henry Rowengartner?

You don't hit .540 against left handed pitching by luck or being hot over 39 games , my friend.

Considering Hunter Pence has almost 100 more at bats than Braun, Hunter has been thru the league more and more pitchers have seen him, scouting reports, etc.

Braun is going pretty much his first time around the league. He will probably end up being a solid player, but pence has shown no signs of slowing down and i just believe braun isn't going to keep his pace of hitting 30+ hrs.

But I think Braun has a better shot at winning ROY than the Brewers winning the central.

As of right now, Pence should win it. But really Pence is not going to keep up what he's doing and either is Braun, but I believe Braun has a lot better chance to keep it up than Pence.

Pence: .774 PrOPS and .389 BABIP
Braun: .913 PrOPS and .384 BABIP

Just one mans opinion.

Well are you right?
I think ESPN has a little more credibility than you do.

why? because their "analysts" are paid to talk out of their asses as opposed to people on the internet who do it for nothing?

All they have is the writing ability.

Its not like i can't watch games and see pretty easily who is the better player.

Nah but they get paid to say whose better.

And i don't see how just because Braun has like 2 more homers than Pence it makes him a better candidate for ROY

You don't?

Braun has a better BA, OBP, SLG%, OPS, tied for homeruns, a few less RBI's, more SB's, less CS and he's done this in 100+ less AB's than Pence.

Doesn't that show you something about his talent and how he is having a better year than Pence?

His arm. Needed to work on his throws.

It certainly wasn't because of his bat. In 11 spring training games he hit 5 HRs, slugged .912 and hit for .353.

The guy has simply got ridiculous power to all fields.

Anyway, I don't see any way Pence can keep up with Braun's power numbers, and those are the eye openers.

If I knew what Zomg meant I would....but I don't so Hunter Pence will probably still be leading the league in hitting.

It doesn't matter that Pence has been thru the league more and pitchers have seen him. There is a new invention out there called video tape (and currently, DVD), so as soon as someone reaches the majors, other teams have a chance to see him and what he hits.

Nothing can make up for first hand knowledge of something. I watch Jenna Jameson pornos all day long but I would never truely know what its like until I get to bang her...

Celtic, I love the analogy.

However, with a 5-man rotation and 7-8 man bullpens, how many times does a pitcher have "first hand knowledge"??
