Yea it's about 0.25 runs given up doing an IBB on average. The Jays are way too cute with the IBBs. The other intangible reason I don't like it is that having runners on adds psychological pressure -
Actually it is. Even Ohtani only gets on base 40% of the time. Giving it up for free is idiotic
-
It's unreal how this team refuses to follow the analytics. IBB is almost never worth it statistically
-
Yea nothing stopping him from wearing a Toronto hat even if she wears LA
-
Yea. The view that picking relievers in a certain way will result in zero runs is weird. It's like obsession over batting order. Has way less impact than just being good when called on
-
I'm recovering post surgery here so the emotions of sports are a distant second That's my secret anyways
-
I think he gets 25MM AAV but on a shorter deal, maybe 3 years. Yea by WAR alone it'd be a bit less, but he's kept the walks down. Depends how much you think all the HRs given up are fluke or trend. Some team will say fluke for the high ceiling
-
Not against using Gausman but there is a cost there in that he wouldn't be available for WS game 7 I keep saying it but they should be using Bassitt and Lauer more. They were above average all season and most of our pen is average at best. If they're injured then I don't get why they rostered them.
-
Hoffman was on tonight. Every pitch was around the edges of the zone. His velo was good too, 96 or so on the fastball. Though I don't think they should use him much in game 7. Maybe to like end an inning. You don't want to be stuck 3 batters like with Little.
-
Ok someone definitely hypnotized Vlad into believing that the Mariners are the Yankees
-
Down 2-0 is about 19% to advance Down 3-2 is about 25% to advance Assuming 50/50 which Seattle and Jays pretty much are
-
Well not only that but OPS is deceptive. With 45 BB in 68.1 IP, his OBP against is well below average (0.323) WAR still likes him but I have a hard time getting with it. They've figured out they can just wait for a heart pitch
-
Isn't he basically what we hoped Santander would be
-
Lol my family is the same. They get too emotional to watch the games. It's like... you might not get to watch this again for another 10 years. Suck it up!
-
Really makes you wish we'd got him
-
Hitting wise the Jays made huge strides. I do think it's not a fluke, that their high performance team had something to do with it. But yea the pitching boggles me. Every single reliever seems to be chasing velocity at the expense of a lot of walks. Seems to be a team wide philosophy but I don't think it's been very effective. Without the walks and HBP that's a 2 run inning instead of 5. Of course these aren't things you can magically change in the middle of the ALCS. We're stuck with what we have.
-
Yea we don't use analytics like we claim to. That said it feels like Little is cooked until redoing mechanics. Out of 15 pitches, only 3 were in the shadow or chase zones. The rest were either heart or waste pitches.
-
Dodgers just swept the Brewers, the AL doesn't have a prayer 🙏
-
Problem is all that junk is waste. Not stuff anyone will swing at. Needs to be more in the chase zone
-
Yea this was my worry at the outset. Trying to include everyone and being too damn nice instead of doing what is necessary to win. I was hopeful after they sat Berrios and Scherzer, but seems like that was purely for injury/rest reasons. Our starters are much better than the pen with their insane walk rates. Should be running the starters to 100 pitches and using Lauer/Bassitt. They were both way better than our pen on a per inning basis while having to throw more innings

Yea it's really weird that they don't use Lauer or Bassitt. You know, two of our few pitchers with a WAR above zero on the season Could they be injured because it's nonsense usage so far
-
Our bullpen is all kinda the same though. All around 4-5 BB/9 on the season. This doesn't cut it unless you have like Yesavage level of K rate I do wonder if the velocity chasing has reached it's limit
-
Well, elite relievers are kinda overpriced but at the same time we did spend much more on the pen and didn't even get that. A weird season. Acquisitions all sucked while all the returning players had amazing years.
-
It's a competition for who gets to be the jobber for the Dodgers
