  1. Never forget that Eric Lauer somehow barked this organization into backing off of using an opener in front of him
  2. This was the pitch, Context: Sweeper is Taylor Rogers' best pitch. So you swung at a pitcher's pitch, on the first pitch, and hit a pop fly. It was the second time Heineman saw Rogers in this outing. The Twins really stretched Rogers out as the Jays didn't make him work. Rarely do you get to see a reliever twice in one game; this probably played into why Heineman was even allowed to hit in that situation and Schneider's frustrations. The first PA was 3 pitches. So Heineman gave this soft-tosser 2 outs on 4 pitches. But yeah, Lenyn Sosa swung at two sweepers that inning that could have hit him if he didn't foul them off. So part of this is also the fact that Heineman has one of the worst xwOBA's in baseball. Just complete offensive incompetence. But he's a backup catcher... I think something had to have been said. "Why did you swing at that?" "Piss off, John"
  3. Rays are 21-12 4th best record in baseball 8th best run differential BUT 25th in hitter fWAR, with a 96 wRC+ and negative DEF and BsR 13th in pitcher fWAR, 4.19 FIP against 3.78 ERA WAY over their skis and getting lucky, Toronto better than them at everything So I am looking forward to getting swept
  4. Good Lord someone needs to get Heineman off my team
  5. Pinango leading off! They love him. Maybe he isn't going down any time soon. Okamoto hitting second makes sense too Love it
  6. I bet it's not even 30% of that
  7. Bo's AB in extra innings. First and second nobody out. Whiffs at a pitch two feet high. Grounds into a DP on a pitch in the dirt.
  8. Good team Also lots of bad teams out there
  9. I think classic Cease is definitely an inefficient 5 innings Or 5 clean and then gets destroyed in the sixth
  10. I guess we get irrationally excited about Okamoto now? He's Troy Glaus
  11. Valenzuela has to get almost every start until Kirky is back
  12. He doesn't really need three days off in a row and there is no telling what the next game will present
  13. I didn't want to say anything in case he went on the give up back to back homers
  14. RJ Barrett was a huge liability for the entire end of the game but then God bailed him out
  15. Should be a rule against that Anything in the zone or above/below it cannot be a HBP Must be a ball inside to be HBP eligible
  16. Is game day wrong or did Buttman just get hit by a strike?
  17. Probably more about the pitch count than anything but they would also have a fatigue model that uses all of this info: Pitch count Inning count Pitches per inning Number of up-downs Maybe other stuff like weather, pitch types being thrown, favourite mario kart character, sexual preference, what he had for breakfast, girth, and so forth There is science based on their fatigue unit regression models, and that is distilled to the stupid coaches and is probably something like: 70 P max, and 3 up-downs max, and never 35+ P in one inning
