  1. He's been a beauty, but when you look at the numbers, it's easy to see why. He's not whiffing on pitches in the strike zone like he has been the past few seasons and in fact is contacting them at a career-best rate. Highly unlikely for that to continue, but even if he's at 80-85% that's money in the bank.
  2. It's easy to just point and say the pen isnt good enough, but as with most things, context is important. I'll just post the entire pitching staff's #'s so far. That's over 36 innings in 10 games for the pen, which isn't ideal. 6 innings alone for Cimber, and 5 guys with 5 or more. Keeping that up over a full season would be less than ideal, but when yove had 5 of the 10 game where your starter gets wrecked (Kikuchi x 1, Manoah x 1, Berrios x2 and Bassit x 1) the pen is going to take some lumps.
  3. No no, he should keep using it. Like…lots more
  4. Kinda the same feeling of the road trip overall. 6-4 or 7-3 was about what you’d expect with the schedule they had. Angels series(2-1) and KC series(3-1) was exactly what should have happened, the only flip would have been winning the series against St. Louis to get to 7-3. No Jays fan should really be upset at the results of the road trip, but yeah…the path that got them there could use work.
  5. The thing that’s most impressive is that out of all their wins, every single one has been by 4 runs or more. yes, they should beat those teams but baseball will usually curse you for 1 or 2 games out of 9.
  6. Couldn’t catch the rest of the game after the 2nd inning, did I miss anything exciting?
  7. Here’s the vid on the Cruz injury https://www.mlb.com/news/benches-clear-after-oneil-cruz-injury-vs-white-sox
  8. ONeil Cruz just broke his ankle on a play at the plate. Reallly bad slide attempt and it went horribly wrong, and allegedly the catcher called him a bitch after the play and the benches cleared.
  9. Heh, Trout was clearly sitting on the slider, good thing it was just a single.
  10. Cy Detmers today I guess.
  11. I hear ya, mine was July and I’m so white I’m practically clear.
  12. I think it’s more so that Kiermaier and Varsho are hot right now and wants to keep great D in CF and LF today. Plus he is platooning Espinal even though he’s been awful with the stick to start out.
  13. http://i.imgur.com/jf9G61s.png Not a good day for blue. Also important to mention that the call right above the #2 called strike three to Belt, was the strike 1 call to Belt in the same AB.
  14. April 8 Vladdy - 2 Points - Abomination, Candy Maldonado, JaysAllMighty, LTBF Bichette - 2 Points Belt - 4 Points -Spanky Varsho - 4 Points - WryNGinger Kirk - 4 Points Springer - 4 Points - Jonn, Dylan, JohnHavok Chapman - 4 Points - TCA, Bones10, Omar Merrifield - 10 Points - Stangstag, Sammy225 Espinal - 12 Points Off the bench: 20 Points
  15. Nah, they’ve had the easiest schedule ever to start. Them being unbeaten is great for them but I figured they’d start 7-2 at worst.
  16. The game I saw there I was down the 1b side in the bleachers, great seats but yeah, cooked all game long.
  17. Another steamroll of Tampa over Oakland…11-0
  18. Yeah, i did misread. And you are right, I bet if you asked most fans they would think the called strike accuracy would be above 90 for sure, though it does make sense that the strike calling is lower than the ball calling.
  19. No. He called 136 of 144 correctly, the average would be 132.8 (133) out of 144. average ump correct calls on all pitches is somewhere between 92 and 93%, last nights ump was 94.4%.
  20. No doubt. It takes like 4 or 5 months for DRS to be even remotely useful, and even then ...
  21. I like that anyone goes after racists hard... but with Stroman, just say something negative about his start or something and you're suddenly a racist.
  22. Brady Ware of the DII University of Indianapolis Greyhounds, had the kind of day that only feels achievable if you’re playing as Shohei Ohtani in MLB The Show, by hitting for the cycle while throwing a no hitter. The graduate student finished with the cycle, going 4-for-4 at the plate with two runs and five RBIs … while striking out 11 batters across seven hitless innings against Drury University in Game 2 of a doubleheader.
