    Bregman leaves the game. Astros bring A.Diaz in and put him at 1st with Gurriel moving to 3rd. I know Gurriel can play there, but that seems really odd (like playing Alen f***ing Henson at 1st base). New market efficiency? Playing middle infielders at 1st?

    OK I found something that suggested sac bunts are successful at a 70-80% rate.
  3. Brownie19
    You're not factoring in the probability that the hitter doesn't get the bunt down successfully. Anyone know what the sac bunt success rate is in the AL? 60%? 70%?

    Great opportunity to explain that Montoyo is going against the odds (showing how those decisions/calls statistically are less successful), but given how the team is performing, he's going to roll the dice. Nope, instead just praise for those great decisions.

    here we go boys.
  6. Brownie19
    That makes sense.

    Montoyo must use a dart board to set the daily lineups. The lineups I make for my local league senior rookie team are more consistent. I don't know if that matters or not...

    Jays should sign Vlad up for the Biggest Loser show, then Dancing with the Stars. He'd be a hit! instant marketing world wide so he doesn't get lost in the abyss like Mike Trout.

    The SSS legend folks.

    Mets have a nice group of young position players. Nimmo Alonso McNeil Conforto Roserio JD Davis (if the gains are real) Dominic Smith Solid core

    What's changed is instead of making low percentage strategic decisions, teams are using the available data and playing the percentages. Teams didn't utilize the shift until the early 2010's because they were ignorant and/or afraid the go against tradition and outside of particular situations with particular players, bunting, stealing and choking up with 2 strikes decreases your chance of success over the long term. There's new strategies (with the backup math) on how to construct a lineup...there's change all over the place. IMO, they don't talk about the new strategies being implemented by MLB teams - instead opting to question why the manager didn't bunt in that situation, or put the runner in motion, etc. It misleads the casual fans into thinking the manager's an idiot.

    Agreed. I don't think it would hurt to show some statistics explaining why strategy in baseball has changed. I mean we're now showing the overlay of where hitters hit ground balls now (to explain the shift). I mean it can't be that hard to justify a shift, even to the more old school fan out there when the batter hits 75% of ground balls to one side. Get the run expectancy chart up there regularly...show the ignorant fans why we aren't bunting or stealing in a particular situation. It's just so easy for fans to say "well they should have done this!" when whatever they chose to do (like hit away) fails. s*** fails in baseball ALL THE TIME. That's baseball.

    We all know how they party in SF...

    kiki came to play.

    Hey Blue - you're strugglin'
  17. Brownie19
    Blackmon - yikes.
  18. Brownie19
    Marlin's man is at the game. He's so weird.
  19. Brownie19
    Man - remember when we thought we were getting Yandy Diaz for JD? So far it looks like he's made adjustments to that launch angle.

    Clay Buchholz (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday. That's assuming the weather is okay. Buchholz will throw around 75 pitches Sunday and if it goes well he will likely join the Blue Jays' rotation after that.
  21. Brownie19
    um...he was allowed to go back on adderall. He's been on it the past couple of years I believe.
  22. Brownie19
    f*** you're insufferable.
  23. Brownie19
    f*** guys - we've been no-hit through 6 innings like 3 times now. Montoyo's just throwing everything against the wall and hoping that something sticks.
  24. Brownie19
    Are you trying to suggest the metric system is inferior to the imperial system? If so, you're going to lose this debate. It's also not 2005. You shouldn't call something gay.
  25. Brownie19
    I don't know about that. If they build a middling, .500 team, history suggests they'll draw 22K - 25K per night. If they build a sustained contender, history suggests they'll be one of the best draws in the MLB. If you're the Owner - would you accept 2-3 years of 10K for the shot at Option 2? Or would you throw up your hands and demand they go back to Option 1?
