    You both suck

    Not a glorified puppet, but he's going to have parameters he has to manage to. It wouldn't be anything as strict as "must always insert X pitcher to face Y Batter in 5th inning no matter who starts..." kind of s***, but more like "If X pitcher is at X number of pitches and is now in his third time through the lineup... here's 2 or 3 relief options that match up well with this part of the lineup, that part of the lineup etc. Score would obviously be a factor as would reliever availability and if a guy is on his second day in a row vs fresh. he makes decisions based on the info provided. That's not the same thing as having in game decisions made for him. I bet that the who's in and who's out on any given day (assuming injuries arent a thing) is probably much more rigid though. Every regular is going to have planned days off, planned DH days and the non regulars are going to be platooned per matchups more often than not. They're definitely going to stick to that unless injuries force a change.

    The pen really is the victim of ridiculous HR rates. Cimber has been a trainwreck but is hurt, ... Bass has been ass... Jimmy is throwing very well, but everything that gets hit seems to leave the yard. Pop and Richards also off the average. The pen is largely fine if Bass goes away, Cimber returns to normal and the HR rate normalizes for the others. Just looking at this though, I'm thinking Pearson's next appearance might be a bit more high leverage than he's seen so far.

    Look at the HR Swanson have up yesterday over the monster. HR in 2/30 parks. It's a loud out virtually everywhere else in baseball.

    Those are great numbers but without the context, it's hard to take them seriously. Romano has been available for pretty much every "save" opportunity this season except for 1 or 2. No reason to just let someone else pitch if your "closer" is ready and available. Some of those teams may just not have a reliever that stands out, maybe they were 3 run saves and the primary closer had pitched the previous 2 games. Context is important.

    More like really bad to Oakland bad.

    I think the pen overall is still good for a 162 game season, just not as good as it needs to be for a playoff run. Swanson and Romano are top guys, Jimmy should probably be about the 4th or 5th best guy in order to be a great pen. I’m fine with Mayza as a lefty killer, but they need another one. They need 2 guys to slot between Jimmy and Swanson on the depth chart, whether they get those two guys internally from guys stepping up like Pearson or Green if he makes it back or they have to get them via trade remains to be seen. I think if Pop stays on the roster he has to be the “worst” reliever they have in order for me to be truly okay with the pen as one that I’m not worried about every other game because I know the bottom 5 guys are all completely Jekyll and Hyde from day to day

    Can we agree not to take Vladdy tonight then? Try to get him going…
  10. John_Havok
    I hope he puts the first pitch in Verdugo’s ribs
  11. John_Havok
    Tapia’s fly out went further than that ******** HR.
  12. John_Havok
    hR in 2 parks out of 30. Xba of .270 f*** these garbage ass stadiums
  13. John_Havok
    How are we all so bad at this?
  14. John_Havok
    Cy Houck tonight
  15. John_Havok
    I’d rather hitch my wagon to Bo at this point tbh. It’s Bo you have to rein him in…with Vlad …it’s not that he doesn’t want to succeed, but there’s just something about him that makes me think we’ve already seen his best, and it’s not likely to be seen again
  16. John_Havok
    Fenway special. That’s an out in every other park in baseball. Xba of .060
  17. John_Havok
    K, so you dont really know. i'll just let it go then
  18. John_Havok
    Vlads launch angle right now is either straight into the ground, or straight up in the air. Timing is just off
  19. John_Havok
    picking locked Vladdy - 1 Point - Dylan, Gen.Disarray Bichette - 1 Point - mphenhef, LTBF Chapman - 1 Point - JohnHavok Varsho - 2 Points - Springer - 2 Points - Candy Maldonado Kirk - 3 Points - Jonn Jansen - 3 Points - bones10, Abomination Kiermaier - 4 Points - JaysBlue, wilko Merrifield - 5 Points - JaysAllMighty, Omar Off the bench: 10 Points
  20. John_Havok
    Yeah, Varsho is right now the best baserunner on the team, just ahead of Chapman and Merrifield. Varsho's baserunning value is the only thing keeping him at replacement level since his elite D hasn't really been needed yet.
  21. John_Havok
    If anyone hits a HR off Houck tonight, it will be their first off him. Nobody on the roster has a HR against him. Granted, the entire roster only has like 30 PA in total against him
  22. John_Havok
    Please explain what you mean by Chapman regressing to the mean. I already know what it means, but I need to know what you think it means before I get into it too much
  23. John_Havok
    agreed, They actually changed the age related rookie rules in the NHL due to Sergei Makarov winning the Calder at age 31. now anyone eligible for ROY in the NHL must be under 26 or under.
