lol, legit cursed with RISP right now. Everything is roped right at defenders or hit too hard to score a guy from 2nd on a single. Ah well, at least theyre hitting it hard.
Of course. I'd probably let Gausman start the inning with Hoffman warming since Gaus is at 96 pitches but... any trouble and i'd go to the closer. That's his job.
OAA backs up the eye test so far. 89th percentile fielding run value and 83rd percentile in range. Still not enough throws to qualify for the arm stat, but... I have to think he's 85th percentile minimum.
Overall his splitter usage has more than doubled vs last season. And its not a very good pitch.
I think Walker is a bit too in love with the splitter for Hoffman and needs to dial it back
Yes. Differential is just simply runs scored minus runs given up. Earned... unearned...vs a position player or a one-eyed midget wearing fishnets... doesnt matter
Anyone recall what game it was when Springer kinda hurt himself on a swing ... was that the point where his slide started?
It was his left wrist then and he's shaking it again. He must have something going on/lingering with that
When Sandlin comes back...another excellent addition to that depth.
If Swanson and Burr also come back to their potential, some guys are gonna get shuffled that don't deserve to...but that's a great problem to have
This game so far is all the proof anyone should need as to why HR power is vital in today's MLB.
You aren't gonna get many hits off aces that often, so when you do...they better be over the fence as often as possible
