  1. I feel like teams are really starting to sit on his change. That doesn't mean they'll consistently hit it mind you.
  2. Well Doc was due to a medical issue unrelated to his pitching. I'm sure Lee could have come back if he wanted to, but simply doesn't want to.
  3. His 4.37 xFIP this year says otherwise. (I think he'll bounce back, but almost every pitcher I've touched this year except Sanchez has been a disaster)
  4. I was taking him at 34 over Harvey if he was still there, but BB probably would have taken him one before me too. No way he was getting to 41. Syndergaard owners in other leagues should probably rejoice I didn't get him. Kiss of death.
  5. Two players, whatever. The point stands.
  6. IMO the claims of getting high with one of the Jays players during the season seems more far fetched, given the random drug testing. This also occurs in the offseason, so why would EE refuse to smoke during the season but smoke a bunch of weed later?
  7. Me neither. I thought about taking Pujols given his struggles vs the knuckler, but found better options.
  8. What the hell is up with our infield defense the last few days?
  9. I wonder if having it bounce up into his face was part of the plan?
  10. I'm in excellent position for a good draft pick next year!
  11. Loup is killing it in AAA. 0.73 FIP over 16.2 innings, 12:1 k/bb.
  12. It's almost certainly a combination of random variance, mental variance, and other factors. Negative stretches could be affected by things like minor injury, fatigue, or soreness. The eye level of the batter combined with arm height and angle of the pitcher could place the ball coming out of a different location of the batting eye. Some batters react to weather differently (I assume), etc. It's very difficult to determine what is random variance, and what is caused by variables you haven't considered in your model (or perhaps variables you simply don't have access to).
  13. Mens 4x100 is just about to start for anyone that didn't know.
  14. One of us, one of us, one of us.
  15. You could probably require that a SP has to remain on the 25 man for 4 games after their start or something. As for limiting pitching changes, I'm in favor of a pitcher having to face 3 batters (assuming no injury), or hit the end of the inning before they can be changed. Seeing innings where you have a pitching change every batter just plain sucks.
  16. Yeah, I don't agree with limiting shifts. It's up to the players to adapt to it and force teams not to do it.
  17. Worst job in baseball ... the grounds crew guy who has to push the big metal cylinder off the field in a thunder storm.
  18. No doubt we'll manage to get through the top of the 5th, the rain will hit, and the game will be called.
  19. It'll be interesting to see if they learn anything from Choo and Fielder.
  20. The ump will be seeing a lot of balls floating towards the plate after that shot.
  21. I have him in LOD. He's probably a keeper there and may have some upside, but I have trouble believing he'll make the cut in any of the 20 player leagues. I'm not sure what the appeal is for this year since he's not getting much in the way of holds chances right now.
  22. What are you looking for?
  23. Isn't it midnight pacific time?
  24. Does Morales even make it through the offseason cut?
  25. I don't think that's a given. The single was hit hard, and Houston has some good arms out there.
