He'd go 0 for 6 one day and then 6 for 6 the next. Great centerfielder, fast and intelligent base runner, one of the best utility men a team could ask for, and also a great human being. Nats fans will always love and appreciate Michael A. for giving everything he had every game. He's also a postseason LEGEND who helped us get a world title and is a world champion forever!!!

    Fun fact: Game 4 of the 2017 NLDS was Strasburg’s “flu game” often forgotten about. Some viewed it as gamesmanship, others thought he was just being “weak”. And then he came in and had his 12K gaming forcing game 5. And it turned out he really was pretty sick and gutted it out.

    As a Braves Fan, when I saw Michael A. Taylor's Performance against the Dodgers that Year in 2016, I had the same opinion that I had for Trent Grisham during the 2019 NL Wild-Card Game:
    "That's it for them.... This game.... This PLAY will DEFINE that player...."

  • @fogelmclovin2694
    @fogelmclovin2694 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This year he has an average WAR for a regular starting player... but is the best fielder in the league. His UZR (fielding stat used for WAR) is the best in the league and way above second place. UZR takes into account the position which you field, though. Still, he’s also has the third largest contribution in defence this year, which is crazy for an outfielder because infielders, in particular catchers and shortstops, are way more likely to contribute to defence. So much so that 35/37 of the leaders in defensive contribution are infielders. And Taylor, as an outfielder, is so good that he is third.

    I was in the gold seats about 10 rows back of home plate. Fans were hard on Werth and Harper that night, but 5-2 lead in the 9th? It wasn't Taylor's fault the Dodgers loaded the bases, but with the bases loaded and Puig at the plate, you just knew something was going to happen. And if I recall, that was Yasiel Puig bobblehead night, but yeah, easily the worst game for an everyday player I ever saw. For a pitcher, I saw Mark Pryor, in his first appearance off the DL, gave up 7 home runs at Wrigley in the first 2-3 innings. That was in 2006, I think.

    Taylor's 5 k game was probably the worst game. But former mvp Joe Torre had a crap game in 1975. He grounded into 4 double plays. He was responsible for 8 outs. His teammate in front of him had a 4 hit day but was erased every time by torre's inept hitting.

As soon as he makes contact(look at him when he hit that 492ft bomb) he drops his bat , looks down and starts sprinting towards first base. Thats how the game should be played.
