Your bar for “great” is far lower than mine.

The best part is that when he does hit that home run, it's usually late in the game at a time that we really need it to change the trajectory of the momentum to our side.
He's been a winning player, making winning plays on defense and at the plate all year. Nearly 70% of his home runs have come late to tie it, give us the lead or get us back to within 1 in a game we eventually won.
This seems to be lost on a lot of people that live and die by OPS, OPS+ without context. To those, I ask: Do you not watch the games? Do you only watch box scores after the fact?
He’s hitting .216 with a .620 OPS and 12 RBI on the road
He’s hitting .206 with a .710 OPS w/ 2 outs and RISP
He’s hitting .220 with 4 HR in late & close situations
When they’re ahead, he has hit .230 with 4 HR and 13 RBI
When they’re behind, he has hit .232 with 4 HR and 13 RBI
He’s decidedly average.
Just found someone that obviously doesn't watch any games

Curious why you believe that to be true. Did someone tell you that and you believed them? Cause they lied.PadsFS07 wrote: ↑22 Jun 2025 11:16 amHe leads the league in WPAAn Old Friend wrote: ↑22 Jun 2025 08:15 amYou’ve decided to convince yourself of an untrue narrative.Lloyd Braun wrote: ↑22 Jun 2025 08:00 am On pace for 23 home runs and 89 RBIs while playing splendid defense again

Arenado and Goldschmidt as the faces of the franchise became the whipping boys for a fan base frustrated with a horrible front office. Instead of building around them, this front office put all the weight on them. When the team failed they took the shots.Honky Tonk Man wrote: ↑22 Jun 2025 08:04 amIt's really hard to believe fans actually would like to replace him with GormanLloyd Braun wrote: ↑22 Jun 2025 08:00 am On pace for 23 home runs and 89 RBIs while playing splendid defense again
