  1. You've literally never seen anything, anything ever in your entire life, more idiotic than that? Not a single thing?
  2. Hasn't been a badly pitched inning by Stroman, he doesn't deserve that run.
  3. That's a bit hyperbolic, but it was not a good risk to take there.
  4. What a f***ing dumb play by Drury there, he had no chance there.
  5. Keith Law is tercet, confirmed.
  6. Incorrect statement is incorrect. You know the field is the same size in the minors, right?
  7. Bichette has played a total of 30 games at 2B in his professional career. He has played 230 at short. He's a shortstop until he shows that he's not.
  8. Judging by how accurate they are with video replay, they'd get that decision wrong too. Probably end up using WARP which nobody but the inventor of that stat still uses.
  9. f***, I thought that was going to drop, really well hit by Smoak. 107 MPH exit velo too. .900 xBA
  10. Hey, we're not the only ones with sloppy as f*** baserunning.
  11. We need Buck and Pat to tell us that when you play for one run you get more!
  12. I still think he'd be better than Brito, assuming his D hasn't regressed.
  13. If you were increasing your chance of scoring by 50%, sure, but you're most assuredly not. This isn't something for which there is data, but the difference between scoring a run with Vladdy and scoring a run with Hanson there is pretty negligible. Yes, he's faster, but lot of things would have to happen before that speed would come into play. If Hanson sores on a double there 8/10 times, Vladdy probably does 7/10 times (obviously not accurate numbers, those numbers simply don't exist). He didn't attempt a steal, so that obviously wasn't a consideration, and beating out a close throw, again, would require outside factors. It simply wasn't a sure enough thing to be worthwhile in that situation. Maybe if it was 2nd with 1 out, or 1st with no outs I'd be closer to okay with it, but 1st with 1 out is not a situation where I'm comfortable gambling the future.
  14. Okay, I'm not saying "never pinch run for Vladdy", what I'm saying is that with a runner on 1st and one out, run expectancy is 0.509 (just over 50%). I'm all for increasing the chances to score and win the game, but it's VERY likely that you don't score in that situation, and removing your best bat from the linup when he's not THAT slow and he's not THAT bad on defence isn't worth it to me. Call me risk averse if you will, but I'm playing for the win in the 10th, 11th, 12th in that situation rather than the incredibly marginal increase in your chance of winning in the 9th. If it had been Tellez, for example, in that situation, I wouldn't have had any issue with the pinch run (because he is both FAR slower and not as good a hitter.) I also wouldn't have an issue with the pinch run if the pinch runner was Rickey Henderson and he immediately stole second and third.
  15. Just to confirm, I do remember this article existing, Abom isn't pulling this out of his ass.
  16. I love that Vladdy is the one giving the Gatorade showers.
  17. What a f***ing inning, holy f***.
