How does joe kelly have an active 13 game winning streak? He can't locate at all.

 

Joe Kelly looked elite out of the pen the last time I saw him.

Joe Kelly's chances of being the setup to Kimbrel took a big blow today.. and the Sox badly need Thornburg back. Though the Tigers bullpen was bad too...

Couple of interesting articles

 

http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/what-on-earth-happened-with-jake-arrieta/

 

I wanted to ask:

 

1. Has Arrieta always thrown across his body THAT much? Maybe it's the angle, but I never thought it was that pronounced.

2. Did I miss the discussion on the new way they are measuring velocity this year? I caught (and participated) in discussions on how everyone (except Greinke) on the Diamondbacks is throwing harder this year and Kendell Graveman's velocity spike was discussed, yet I didn't see anything about how it's measured differently this year and thus all increases in velocity should be taken with a grain of salt.

I never knew some organizations have banned the use of cut fastballs - including Baltimore.

 

Bump. Discuss.

Scott Carson blocked me on Twitter because I pointed out the irony of a "stats guy" reporting the Rays 50/50 draw being $121 prize when it was really $6,581 (but being close counts for statisticians right).

The O's are going to be good again. It's that roach that refuses to die. Hate them so much.

 

Look at their bullpen and how brilliantly it is assembled.

 

Now remember, 2 of our 3 losses belong to our bullpen.

So that sickness bug that has been harassing the Red Sox since ST has now claimed Kelly. And Ramirez has influenza lol

 

Mookie Betts as well.

So Dickey gives his team the lead with a bases loaded single to score two. Bottom half of the inning, he immediately gives up the lead and now he's walked the bases loaded.

 

Classic RA Dickey.

The Phillies have sent 16 men to the plate in the first inning against the Nats; winning 12-0.

Break up the D-Backs! THey're beating Cleveland again.. and Edwin's batting .158 right now.. maybe Arizona is winning because they actually have a competent manager now in Louvollo, who really should be managing the Red Sox right now instead of Farrell...

Seriously, you're stating 3-5 game in numbers?

Sounds like I don't see what you're getting at?

 

Edit: It was the Mod that presented the issue, and you're specifically posting towards me?

 

Brings me to the fact, you're an idiot.

Yes, it's a small sample size--but the D-Backs are doing a good job playing against a potential WOrld Series contender in Cleveland.. plus, Arizona has quite a bit of young talent, along with Goldschmidt.

 

BTW, the GIants are starting very poorly.. can't even beat San Diego, with the problems with pitching from last season continuing.. and none of their LF can hit..
