  1. *adjusts glasses* sir! we've ran the regression model six million times and can conclude that starting Alex Manoah in tomorrow's final game of the season will improve our odds of advancing to the divisional series by 1.467%
  2. Manoah Gausman Stripling on the road vs Gausman Stripling Berrios/Bullpen at home Imagine the smell though if they do this then lose the WC round with Manoah never throwing a playoff pitch. And it's not even like you are choosing one vs the other, you can still win game 162 without Manoah.
  3. Right but there are like no games left. For 2022... keeping him in the minors does not help AT ALL in figuring out if he can help the team in the playoffs.
  4. They should sign a big money SS Imagine Trea Turner or Dansby Swanson instead of Geraldo Perdomo... Turner/Swanson - SS Walker - 1B McCarthy - DH Carroll - LF Thomas - CF Varsho - RF/C Marte - 2B Rojas - 3B Kelly - C Beer/Pavin Smith - slugger depth Jordan Lawlar - close enough Gallen Kelly Ryne Nelson Drey Jameson Bumgarner They need a mid rotation SP and a shortstop. And probably some RP I guess, I dunno. But this is a playoff team in 2023 if they get half-decent luck.
  5. Okay I thought about it and I think Schneider is just throwing up a smoke screen. They are just lining up Manoah to start game 1 of the series.
  6. Yes that seems incredibly dumb Especially when Jose Berrios is as bad as he is
  7. Why can't they just do this up here Give him a couple of try it out games against real hitters
  8. George Kirby getting destroyed by the Athletics 2.1 IP so far 6 hits (3 XBH) 2 walks only 1 K (it got worse) bearish day for the Mariners playoff visions
  9. Austin Meadows also left lol Hard to imagine a season going any worse for a team that wanted to start trending up. Front office changes for them right now though. Expect them to start operating a bit better going forward.
  10. His 4S velo, extension, and spin rate all look very good It must be something like spin direction that is very bad Like the pitch just moves right into the barrel of the bat
  11. A lot of the Phillies baserunners late in the game were lucky Even the winning hit was pathetic lol. It could have easily been a one hopper right to the pitcher, double play. Change the launch angle a tiny bit and that's the result.
  12. Cimber has 3 HBP in September alone. 7.2 IP 5 K 3 HBP 2 BB 1 HR FIP 5.46 xFIP 5.70 Obviously it's a small / meaningless sample size but he has not looked good this month. Seems to have lost his release point or something. He's kind of all over the place. But with the playoff race as boring as it is I guess you just keep throwing him out there, so he figures it out
  13. If they try to stretch him out again I will f***ing cry
  14. Adam Cimber has not looked confident in a while.
  15. 7-5-2 for BTS Categories in play Hits (tied) Homers (tied) OBP (decent 0.040 edge for JB) SLG (decent 0.031 edge for JB) Holds (+1 for JB) RBIs and Runs are borderline. BTS has an 8 RBI and 8 Run lead, hard to catch but not impossible. I don't think any other category is in play. All the pitching ratios + Wins and Ks are heavy in BTS' favour and he also has significantly better SPs lined up between now and Sunday. What does this mean? BTS has the tiebreaker so I think this means JB needs to win Hits and Homers and then pray for huge surge in RBI. There is no other conceivable path to JB winning.
  16. lmao Merryweather you plug how can someone be so ineffective with his stuff the mind, it boggles
  17. Diaz has a .133 career ISO He has big biceps but he probably punches like a baby
  18. Pujols will be at 699 in the last game STL will bat him leadoff and the other team will only throw him fastballs in the zone He'll fly out on the warning track 5 times

    wasn't the initial call about battery or something?
  20. Do they ever use those extra SP as relievers, in between their starts?

    yeah but Baker Mayfield is an honorary black because he got arrested that one time
  22. I don't think so. It's an abstraction - think of it like a positional adjustment. We first just need an accurate and holistic measurement of what the extra roster spot is worth (this is extremely hard if not impossible) Then you apply that figure to Ohtani. Because he unlocks that potential value.
