    Tony La Russa has Yermin Mercerdes pitching with his team only down 6 in the 7th.

    Anyone else paying attention to Joey Votto? He's swinging more than he ever has. Swinging at 48% of pitches, up from 42% career. And most of that is being more aggressive on pitches in the zone (80% z-swing % up from 68% career). And he's crushing the ball - his 0.443 wOBA is higher than any he's recorded since they started tracking it in 2015. He's such a cerebral hitter. Constantly tinkering with his approach to remain a contributor instead of falling into Pujols/Miggy black hole territory.

    Congrats on the W Dinger

    Seemed to hurt himself sliding back into first on a pickoff play. Then a couple minutes later slid home on his stomach on a play that he could have moonwalked home on, then immediately left the game. Maybe he just needed to take a s***.

    Thought that benching was going to buy me two categories, until La Russa used Hendriks for the second time today, to close out a 5-1 game. Not going to make any moves. Not sure what to think of my team yet.

    It's worse than that. They used Zeuch first, then brought Roark in to clean up his mess.
  7. BTS
    Zeuch could pitch to an 8 ERA for the rest of his short MLB career and Grant would still not admit he was wrong about him.

    Imagine using Zeuch in the 7th inning of a tie game.

    Nola with a 2-hit 0BB 10K shutout.
  11. BTS
    Yeah, took some well-deserved boos after the second misplay.
  12. BTS
    And McNeill promptly botches a groundout to put a runner on. The Mets f***ing suck.
  13. BTS
    And he scored it lol

    Jacob DeGrom has struck out 9 straight batters at Coors. The record is 10.

    I used to say I liked the aesthetics/interface better than Fantrax, but that's not true for me anymore either.

    The Yankees have been over 0.500 every year since 1992. They’ve made the playoffs four years running, with two 100-win seasons in those years. Their fans have witnessed one of the greatest sustained runs of winning baseball ever, and don’t even remotely appreciate it.

    I'm probably dropping Quintana this weekend unless someone wants him for a pick upgrade.
  18. BTS
    I don’t. I want to see less Chaz Roes and Felix Penas.

    Emmanuel Clase is throwing a 100 mph cutter right now.

    This is why I hated the roster expansion to 26. It exacerbated the problem, and there was no reason for it except throwing a bone to the union. Nobody finds it fun watching a parade of relievers come in throwing 97 with a sider for three hitters each.

    Honestly, the heart of the steroid era was a fun game to watch. In 1998 you had juiced up freakhows hitting 70 homers and putting up crazy power numbers, but you also had about 1000 more total stolen bases than we currently have today, with 10 different guys stealing 40+ bags. There was a huge range of player types, ranging from Mark McGwire to Tony Gwynn and Eric Young, and everything in between. You had the same variety in pitching: a few elite arms and gaudy K/9 rates of 10-12 (Big Unit, Schilling, Clemens etc...) but there were 10 or 20 guys who put up league average 175-225 IP seasons with fewer than 6 K/9. And complete games were still a thing. I feel like we have a narrower distribution of player types now, as we've drifted towards most hitters being three true outcome power hitters, and very few pitchers trying to induce weak contact early in counts. I just want to see a wider variety of skill sets doing a wider variety of things.

    Carlos Rodon is perfect through 8.

    Underrated annoyance: Fangraph's live update dashboard being broken.
  24. BTS
    I've never pitched, but I was wondering this too. I feel like if you've been honing a breaking pitch for 15-20 years, it's not easy to just back it up by a foot. I could be 100% wrong though.
  25. BTS
    I really hope they don't move the bases. For reasons I can't quite articulate, moving the mound back/forward or up/down as needed seems like acceptable tinkering, but all of that should happen inside the 90-foot square of the infield.
