  1. He looks like he has the talent to. Good swing, willing to take the ball the other way. We'll have to wait and see how it translates in reality though.
  2. We're seeing the team change fielding positions tailored specifically to each batter, for each pitcher, and each count. There's no way they're doing that and then running bunt decisions, etc off the tops of their heads imo. If they're doing it, they're almost certainly handling it the same way - and the data is likely telling them that bunting in those situations is to their advantage.
  3. 47-34 at the half lol. Not exactly stellar basketball being played.
  4. His reasoning is crap, but I certainly wouldn't be opposed to signing Stro for 4 or 5 years at a reasonable rate. Fun fact, Stroman has twice the WAR of the next highest Jay this year. I do have one concern though, Stroman is throwing a lot of sliders this year. A LOT. That might not be good for his arm longer term.
  5. He didn't to me. I could see that changing as it continues though.
  6. Stro and Vladdy at the game!
  7. He's certainly no soccer player. He chose careers wisely.
  8. Yep, Kawhi is good.
  9. Because the ump botched the call.
  10. Minor league contract for anyone ready to lose their s***. Honestly though, he's not a bad option as a bench bat / 4th outfielder. Doesn't strike out, can swipe a bag in a key situation, and you don't mind if he doesn't play 90% of the time.
  11. Guys who are more on the extremes (Sanchez, Estrada, etc) aren't well captured by FIP/xFIP. It doesn't mean they've been lucky, as much as the stats don't necessarily accurately capture them. There could be luck involved also, just don't assume it.
  12. Didn't hit the dirt AND it wasn't fouled off. Good job to get the K anyway.
  13. They lost their feed for some reason. It happens. Be thankful they can switch feeds quickly, rather than us just seeing a blank screen.
  14. Players had taken it a little far the other way, intentionally trying to make contact with the fielder even if they were well away from the bag, and in many cases basically trying to spike them. That's really not part of baseball, or it shouldn't be, and just leads to guys getting injured. That wasn't the case there with Grichuk. He had to slide or he takes the throw right in the face, there was really nowhere else he could slide, and Profar was in front of the base effectively blocking his slide.
  15. Durant just tied for the second highest points total in a half in playoff history, putting up 38
  16. Why would it be? That was back before the 2017 season started. You can debate the merits of the move, but it was clearly a legit baseball trade.
  17. Because he's only played 17 games above AA. There's lots of examples of guys who are brought up too quickly and struggle badly, and it can really set them back.
  18. I kinda feel like someone didn't think that Boston Pizza ad through before airing it.
  19. That was hit pretty hard for an emergency swing.
  20. Because three weeks is a very small sample size. Half a year is perfectly reasonable to have a player at any given level even if they're killing it (probably on the low side). It would be different if he was at AAA a good portion of last year.
  21. He's only played 16 games above AA. Keeping him down half the season isn't at all unreasonable, even if he's killing it.
  22. Misread what he wrote. It happens.
  23. Yes, his age is irrelevant.
