Nice pickoff move there.

[JFD]

whoops

[Inklink]

Dammit.

[Unis]

Lol! No chance for 40 steals anytime soon

[Corporal Valdal]

Lol! No chance for 40 steals anytime soon

 

Hush your mouth

[Dylan]

Gose 3 stolen bases, 2 caught stealing

[theblujay]

The smaller the sample, the more you need to pay attention to peripheral indicators like xFIP. A single start is exactly the opportunity to use it.

 

With just a single game sample luck can play much too large of a role to look at the stats like xFIP which don't really take into account what actually happened.

 

We saw this with those terrible Santos implosions.

[Unis]

Hush your mouth

 

he does have potential with the speed but I just don't trust his bat enough

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Tampa loses again.

[Jaysfan_85]

Gose gets on base. something Colby can't do

 

I'll take 20+ hrs and potentially 800 OPS than the next to no offense Gose provides.

[Corporal Valdal]

UGH me to but i still have faith that he can put it together over a full season or at least 130 games played

[gruber92]

Tampa loses again.

 

Afternoon game?

[Corporal Valdal]

I'll take 20+ hrs and potentially 800 OPS than the next to no offense Gose provides.

 

Rasmus is a black hole who is so streaky and strikes out more then a drunk mormon on halloween

[Unis]

Ditto

[John_Havok]

Gose just needs more experience and pick his spots better. With the lead off man up and 1 out with a lefty on the mound, it's just not a smart time to try and steal.

 

He'll learn. The positive sign was this time he hit on base rather than chase s***** pitches and striking out like earlier in the game in almost the same situation.

[Angrioter]

Janssen 6 outs save please

[John_Havok]

Rasmus is a black hole who is so streaky and strikes out more then a drunk mormon on halloween

 

Not sure what Halloween has to do with it, but it was a nice effort up to that point.

[Unis]

Goes can start in 2015.... Not this year. Colby is >>>> choice

[Corporal Valdal]

Mormons have this thing about halloween i dont get it either but i know some mormons and they nm lol

Streaky guy with a 800 OPS versus a guy who can't hit at all. Yeah seems like a close call.

[Iluvbjs]

Even if you aren't SABR-supportive, the guy threw 5.1 innings against the Minnesota Twins and left with the bases loaded.

 

That is not acceptable.

 

The thing is, it's the same thing repeating itself over and over again. His last 10 starts, he's pitched 7 innings once and that's both glaring and telling. Had A WHIP over 2 against Detroit in his last start and same for the one before against a weak hitting team like K.C. In night games this year, it's at 1.57 with opponents batting .270 against him. Lucky to win at all with those numbers.

[theblujay]

The smaller the sample, the more you need to pay attention to peripheral indicators like xFIP. A single start is exactly the opportunity to use it.

 

Like if I'm looking at a single game the most important thing is if we win or not. I'm much more concerned with how well the pitcher actually did at preventing runs, than how many runs their flyballs, Ks and BBs should have resulted in.

 

Over a couple games its obviously a much better indicator of how the pitcher has been doing.

[Corporal Valdal]

Goes can start in 2015.... Not this year. Colby is >>>> choice

 

Agreed Gose should start next year at CF but knowing AA he will resign Colby for $14 a year

[Inklink]

Hmm Loopster.

[Corporal Valdal]

Streaky guy with a 800 OPS versus a guy who can't hit at all. Yeah seems like a close call.

 

enough with these advanced stats ... SO,SB,BB Hits all i care about

[Iluvbjs]

Lead off walk in the eighth inning, i just don't get that.

[Trouba95]

C'mon Loup, just get it to Janssen.

[G-Snarls]

More walks!!

[Jaysfan_85]

Why not use Janssen against their best hitters? Oh yeah because closers have to pitch in the 9th!!!

[fatcowxlive]

DP CeNTRAL!!
