  1. The worst thing about last night, other than the loss, is that Vlad made an all time 1B defensive play and it didn't matter so it won't be remembered No other 1B makes that play. Maybe no other 1B ever? Lol
  2. Two infield hits Got a strike 3 to Bolte but the ump didn't call the check swing Clipped the bottom of the zone twice or thrice and didn't get the calls The walks were egregious though. Dude was tanking everything down
  3. McNeil has 20th percentile sprint speed he's quite slow now Just a ridiculous inning and game. Joke
  4. Oh he will be cemented in there The good thing is that if he's "a baseball player" he can be slightly better than that. Better than the sum of his farts. Bunt hits, heady plays, situational stuff, etc. And he does seem to be a "real baseball player"
  5. I believe we would have to adjust that route number All the elite jump guys have "bad routes" because they start so early then adjust course And the bad jump guys have "straighter routes" but that's just because they wait longer read the ball more and then move It's a general negative correlation
  6. Not sure how Lynch is suddenly through 5 IP on 70 pitches. No strikeouts. Meh
  7. Nice to get a big lead in front of Taillon I'm expecting that they'll get to him a couple more times
  8. Lukes should be one spot higher No sense going L-R-L with only two LHB starting. Just gives them a chance to LHRP you later.
  9. Bateman walked more in the minors but I'm not sure how his chase rate compares
  10. 32.6% chance to make it seems realistic
  11. We just saw Lugo and Dobnak and Lynch isn't that good so hopefully the bats show up They also just saw Scherzer and Spaghetti but pasta is more of a bullpen game anyway. Maybe JS has learned his lesson and won't try to get 4 innings out of him unless completely necessary
  12. Well, it's official. This thread stays UNLOCKED. I guess if they ever get mathematically eliminated I will just delete it entirely and pretend we never did this
  13. horrendous stuff here by Keys and Smith embarrasssing
  14. Straw gifted a walk and an extra base 100% need to cash him in or else don't deserve playoffs anyway
  15. Not if Jason Fluharty has anything to say about it
  16. Hard to get mad about any one specific choice here but the decision to sit all three is tough to stomach. Kirk and Springer are 1-2 on the team in wRC+ since August 1st Valenzuela is an ice cube Granted, Okamoto has been not excelling so that one makes complete sense
  17. Boys the lineup is gross today. No Okamoto, Springer, or Kirk. But I am sure the science justifies it....
  18. Dolores, clear my schedule today. Sir, you have no appointments today. You haven't had a client in weeks.
  19. I am NOT liking the probable pitchers I see vs KCR Taillon, Scherzer, Spaghetti Blech Will need the bats to come alive They should absolutely use the 10th (off day) to skip Spaghetti. Do this: Taillon (9th) 10th off 11th Scherzer 12th Cease 13th Soriano Ceasiano would be on normal rest and those are both Baltimore games. That would also line Ceasiano to both pitch against Texas the following weekend, and Cease would also start the final game against Baltimore on the 23rd and following that if they make the playoffs he would be on full rest for the WC.
  20. SOMETIMES this is misleading as dudes will have different finishes for different pitches, even though they are on sync until delivery on those various pitches. Like a follow through queue for how they throw the curveball, etc.
  21. Toronto wraps up the Cleveland series today and then it's six against KC and the Athletics before they face Baltimore. Need to somehow not play down to KC and "Oakland." They CANNOT lose either of those series. Must win today and then at least win 4 of 6. Meanwhile, Baltimore enters a season defining gauntlet beginning tonight. Boston for 4, then Cleveland and Toronto. And their schedule to end the season after that is hard - the Mets (only easy one) and then Milwaukee, Toronto, and the Yankees. Yikes! I think, even though Baltimore is tied with Toronto, we should want them to play well against Boston and take 2 games so they go into the Cleveland series with confidence and hopefully win that series. And then we bank on Toronto simply winning the head to heads against Baltimore, and/or Baltimore getting stomped later on by those tough remaining opponents.
