    In 4 of his last 6 starts, Bowden Francis allowed only 1 hit.
  2. John_Havok
    What a giant s*** the pen just took on Francis
  3. John_Havok
    Lol...unreal
  4. John_Havok
    Screw the season at this point, let's see some history
  5. John_Havok
    Mention who?
  6. John_Havok
    Gotta love baseball superstitions. It's like Francis doesn't even exist in the dugout right now
  7. John_Havok
    Bit of a stretch. Morrow struck out 19 in that start. Francis has 1. f*** it though. Bring it home kid.
  8. John_Havok
    f*** you ump....if that blatant strike 3 had resulted in a hit...
  9. John_Havok
    I mean. He's painting those corners like crazy right now...2 pitches and 2 outs in the 8th
  10. John_Havok
    Wow ... literally sticks his elbow put to get hit and the ump just let's him. Lol
  11. John_Havok
    This should be his last inning, I get that he has a no hitter but it's also clear he's running on fumes.
  12. John_Havok
    Wow, nice catch Schneider. Keep that no-no going
  13. John_Havok
    Francis is clearly gassed...he's been pitching well but damn, throwing 89-90 4 seamers and sinkers. Occasionally hitting 92.
  14. John_Havok
    There's always the White Sox.

    Yes, this is what Ii was attempting to get at with my statement that it's not as valuable, since it's highly variable. Power output is also variable in the sense that a player can't control when a pitcher throws a hanging slider and power output isn't very stable (like 4 HRs in a week, then nothing for 2 weeks... ) but the outcomes are far more impactful when they happen.
  16. John_Havok
    I just think hitting for average is now known to not be overly "valuable" as it's own skillset, unless you're at the upper upper upper tier like Ichiro ... or Gwynn.
  17. John_Havok
    Yes. Making decisions on next year based on small samples would be foolhardy. Even Loperfido's 200 PA isn't all that meaningful yet. All they're really doing is figuring out what these guys have to work on to stay at the MLB level. They already know what they are at AAA. Wagner looks like a left handed Version of Bichette when it comes to his ability to get the bat on pretty much anything. But he seems to have a better eye for swinging in the zone vs out of the zone than Bo does
  18. John_Havok
    Yes. Now check the overall run environment from then to now. Are there more runs per game being scored now? Or fewer?
  19. John_Havok
    There's a lot to like for sure. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/will-wagner-695238?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb But prior to tonight his #s vs lefties are pretty soft overall.
  20. John_Havok
    Biggio to the Braves...his trip around the league continues
  21. John_Havok
    I think Horwitz has shown enough at this point. Wagner...still a bit early. Signs are good though
  22. John_Havok
    Scouting report on Frias....he throws hard! In the general direction of the plate.
  23. John_Havok
    I'm a Horwitz guy for the 2 hole myself. He at least knows how to walk if he has to.
  24. John_Havok
    I don't think it's a brain thing with him, it's a physical tools thing. His arm and footspeed are both 5th percentile. That's not a great place to start building a 2b from. He started out well, but I suspect it became clear internallly as he went along that the more time he spends there, it was only going to go one direction defensively. I think there was a point where was +4 OAA and then plummeted to +1 over the course of a week. Yes, small sample overall on his defense at 2b, so variability could be high one way or the other, I think they decided to pull the plug while they were ahead, knowing they can stick him there in a pinch.
  25. John_Havok
    You're not wrong, but plays like that get reviewed by post game scorers also. It could go back to a hit.
