  2. John_Havok
    How'd Gausman do today?

    The definition of what counts as a save has never changed.

    After Angel Hernandez last night, the Jays are 5-0 when the ump isnt blind and affects the game by less than 1 run. Are now 2-5 when the ump's calls affect the game by more than 1 run. Looking at the favoring... the Jays have had calls go their way in 5 games and are 5-1. When they arent favored, they are 2-4. Side note: who wouldve though Angel Hernandez's calls would affect the game by less than half a run? I would have put money on the over at 1.5 runs easy

    Well, at least it fell in. Biggio has a batting average!
  6. John_Havok
    Pivetta is the kind of pitcher Biggio should be able to get something good on. Not elite velo, breaker is nothing special... just needs to make the right swing decision
  7. John_Havok
    Turns out... yes.
  8. John_Havok
    Holy absolute hell he did something usefull
  9. John_Havok
    Damn, another straight filth slider.
  10. John_Havok
    that slider was diiiiiirty
  11. John_Havok
    That's just great hitting by JD there. perfectly placed fastball in and he inside-outs it to RF. Cant defend that.
  12. John_Havok
    Feels like Springer should have had that..
  13. John_Havok
    Boston hunting those early fastballs. Maybe try something softer to the next batter lol
  14. John_Havok
    He gets on base.
  15. John_Havok
    Hot take

    So many decisions in the lineups these last few games are just weird.
  17. John_Havok
    Think of it this way - umps bad calls might impact the Jays by -1 run, and favor the opponent by +1.5 runs. That's an overall impact of 2.5 runs and in my totally random example, doesn't favor the Jays, we'll assume they lost that game. In another game, the calls might impact the Jays by -.2 runs, and favor the opponent by +.5 runs. So the overall impact is .7 runs, and still favoring the opponent. But the Jays win that game. Just trying to see if there's any correlation between well umpired games vs bad ones, regardless of which team ends up with the favoured calls. ... So far, the jays will win games that have less umpire impact and lose the ones with more impact.

    I'm not keeping tally of whether the Jays were in favour or not, just the W/L record when the overall run impact of the umps on the game is high or low. Incorrect strike zone calling affects certain teams more than others depending on the skillsets of the players. But, looking at the favoring... the Jays have had calls go their way in 5 games and are 4-1. When they arent favored, they are 2-4.

    If anything Bo has shown incredible improvement in his glovework, the last thing he heeds to sharpen up is the decision making and runner awareness. Both errant throws last night were on runners that are slooooooooow and he had plenty time to slow down after gloving the ball, set his feet better before the throw but he didn't because he failed to take the runners speed into account. Contrast that to the Bogaerts play where he absolutley had to rush to have any chance, and he nailed him on a much harder pick and throw.

    I think theyre trying to find a term that doesnt imply they are s*** pitchers only being thrown in because they don't want anyone else to waist their time. Realistically, that's kinda what people think when they think of a swing man
  21. John_Havok
    The long man in the pen. Guy who throws 3+ innings to save a s*** start, and will start the occasional game when needed. See Ross Stripling.
  22. John_Havok
    Excellent contact, but even a half competant left fielder that doesnt take the worst route in history tracks that down.
  23. John_Havok
    Yeah i dont think it was dirty, but i can see why some could come to the decision that it was - it kinda looks like he grabbed his head and his head ended up taking a bit of a hit. I don't think he was grabbing at it to deliver a blow, it actually looked like he was trying to keep the catcher up and all he could grab was his head area based on where his arms were during that part of the slide.
  24. John_Havok
    Update: Jays are 4-0 when the ump isnt blind and affects the game by less than 1 run. Are now 2-5 when the ump's calls affect the game by more than 1 run.
  25. John_Havok
    It is, but the only thing worse than not hitting with RISP, is never getting runners into scoring position.
