    Someone posted an article a while back about a major discrepancy in xwOBA on pulled fly balls vs fly balls to CF. I think its really as simple as he’s not pulling enough fly balls, and his launch angle is slightly too high to where he’s not getting those homers to CF as often as he should. Not everything is “bad luck” Chapman is also having the same problem this year with his wOBA vs xwOBA, because he stopped pulling the ball.

    Lol you’re smoking crack

    He seems to get blown up for 2-3 at bats, then he’ll strike out the side. Always seems to take a hitter or 2 for him to settle in. Not sure I like him as the “fireman” with guys on base. Leaves him 0 margins for error. Yesterday’s game was fine. A solo shot. Fine whatever.

    Everyone in the pen seems to be struggling right now. The management has been ok it just looks bad since everyone is bleeding runs. The one thing i’d like to see improved is to stop bringing guys back out for a 2nd inning after sitting on the bench for way too long. Like Romano last night, that top half inning was way too long and he was clearly rusty coming back out. They were using Yimi like that alot earlier in the year and it almost never worked out

    Not that I disagree… But im pretty sure people were saying the same s*** about Chatwood in 2021. He was electric in April, and then we continued to use him in tight games in May and he blew a handful and we know what happened. We always talk about relievers being fickle. They can absolutely go through rough patches. Yimi has been pretty jeckyl/hyde lately, unreliable. But he’s being used properly IMO. He’s like 4th/5th on the depth chart. At some point these guys have to produce, can’t use Romano every game. (Romano was kinda bad yesterday too and we’re lucky)

    That's a decent parallel. Bellinger was a lot worse with the bat in 2021/2022, but he still played a premium position so it made sense to hold onto him. And it made sense to release him after 2 full seasons of being s***. We could see a similar situation with Vlad if he has a mediocre 2024.

    Neither guy is everyday player caliber on a playoff team, but both guys are valuable bench pieces even though Espinal’s D seems like it’s fallen off a cliff

    Bottom 3 teams all have the same odds for the top 3 picks, then the odds decrease from there
  9. Stangstag
    He made some great plays today honestly
  10. Stangstag
    Its a lottery now anyways
  11. Stangstag
    Can we not
  12. Stangstag
    Dumb because that call rarely gets overturned unless the fielder actually has trouble removing the ball
  13. Stangstag
    Thank f*** they scored a few
  14. Stangstag
    Jackson has no business pitching in a tie game right now
  15. Stangstag
    Yeah I agree. Even if they get there, they likely get demolished by the first team they face
  16. Stangstag
    Garcia has been so ass lately
  17. Stangstag
    There’s really no reason not to make the move
  18. Stangstag
    Well it makes sense, the “hitting strategist” is too busy on Twitter 20 minutes before the game starts
  19. Stangstag
    The double plays gotta stop, this is ridiculous
  20. Stangstag
    I hate his overly done “excited voice” where he makes his voice all grovely
  21. Stangstag
    This does nothing for me, where is Schneider
  22. Stangstag
    You were saying he’d be a prime “buy low” candidate based on his underlying metrics. Im saying if you can get something decent, you trade him. We’re kind of on the same page, I think the best scenario is he has a good 2024 and we offload him then. Seems like he’s a coinflip on whether he’ll be good or not. Gotta hope he rebounds next season and you can get a better return next offseason. Because even if he’s good 2024, I wouldn’t count on him being good in 2025
  23. Stangstag
    It makes sense because he can’t be relied on. If you can get a decent return I think you do it. Not like 1B is a difficult position to replace either, guys like Belt are available almost every year.
  24. Stangstag
    Let’s wait to see the evidence
  25. Stangstag
    They’ll take 2 of 3. And then split 2-2 with Texas. They’re gonna have the margins razor thin until the very last series
