    The run differential might look a lot different after tonight's game is over.

    Your steady stream of self serving I told you so posts is real cream of the crop material.

    Why do I need to "let it go" exactly? I didn't bring the topic up in the first place, and I simply joined in the discussion stating it was a bad deal and voiced my opinion it was far too early to pass that type of judgement. Stop rushing to judgement before you obtain the relevant facts first.

    Roden has displayed pretty sizeable L/R splits in every season of his career so it appears he will most likely be a platoon bat moving forward.

    First time ever seeing a major league pitcher, especially a reliever in his 30's suffering from an injury? If you think one minor lat issue spells doom for the season, then it doesn't exactly stack up logically to expect that he's going to manage to remain healthier moving forward in subsequent seasons when he's older. Believe it or not it is actually possible for reasonable opinions that differ from your own to exist on the internet.

    The dude had one minor injury to a lat muscle that has him on track to miss approximately 5 weeks. If that's some sort of massive arbiter of doom to you then feel free to continue to stand on the street corner and clang away on your doomsday bell.

    Wow that's surprisingly reasonable for the ship is sinking thread. Very well stated though. If the team and offense in particular is actually as bad over a full season as they've been early on it's fully time to clean house in management. It will be important to bring in a new set of people with fresh ideas to determine where everything went off of the rails and how to fix the mess moving forward.

    That feels a little premature. If he's "bad" in your view for some reason having him for another year at a slightly lower AAV doesn't somehow help make the contract better.
  9. max silver
    He was exactly like this last season when the team went on the skids in May so it's not the first time he broke mentally.

    You sound depressed. I think there's medication for that now so it might be worth looking into.

    My bad, I thought major league baseball seasons were 6 months long and there was more than 4 months left to go. I guess a 3.5 game deficit is insurmountable with that much time remaining so I should start following F1 instead or something of that sort.

    I came across a recent tweet that showed that Blue Jays hitters have been victimized by the highest OAA against them in MLB this season so they've lost a ton of hits due to elite defense. I also saw a recent tweet showing that the team had also faced the highest average stuff+ as well, while also facing one of MLB's toughest schedules based on games vs teams above .500. There's no sugarcoating how bad the offense has been but at the same time once the schedule has balanced out a bit more over time with regards to quality of opposition a more complete picture of what to expect moving forward will emerge.

    I'd give one appeal per plate appearance. It sounds like the challenge results are nearly instantaneous in nature so this would have a minimal effect on the pace of the game.
  14. max silver
    I would tend to think a 10 win DH type of bat would make a massive difference to the offense but I'm just spitballing.

    I think xERA is the final determining factor that points towards Kikuchi being much better than Berrios this season. On top of that Kikuchi's ERA/FIP/xERA all indicate ace level performance, vs Berrios who appears to have been rather fortunate in terms of batted ball results. Kikuchi 2.64 ERA/2.68 xERA/2.61 FIP Berrios 2.98 ERA/4.87 xERA/4.63 FIP

    I'm fine with Bo's short stop defense when he's hitting up to expectations. He's improved in recent seasons to the point where he's a touch below average at short which is not a huge deal when he's producing at the plate. This allows the team to run someone like Davis Schneider at second base, but when Bo is below average at the plate it kind of magnifies the deficiencies.

    Crochet looks to be a legitimate ace in the making so I'll give the offense a small pass on last night's game. Given how dominant he's been in recent weeks I don't think there's actually a lot of better starters in MLB that are better than Crochet is right now.

    He's made sizeable improvements to his whiff rates. Zone contact rate has improved from 67.8% to 78.2%, and overall whiff rate has improved from 37.3% to 28%.

    There was a bit of a bad luck element to the slump but his expected numbers were still pretty bad. I looked up his numbers during the 0 for slump he experienced and his xwOBA was only .185 vs the .063 actual value.

    So basically everyone except for the cream of the crop 95+ win teams should even bother trying. Thinking like that was largely ruining the competitive integrity of the sport as essentially half of the sport was actively trying to lose. I think the extra wildcard spots have been a godsend in that more teams are actually trying to compete, and nearly every year seems to have a surprise team largely spinning their wheels for much of the season, getting hot at the right time, and making serious noise in the playoffs. But of course with your mentality those teams should have packed in their respective seasons in May and not bothered trying to compete.

    All the same caveats still applied after Moreno was dealt in that there was simply no way to know what the future held for Jansen. He would be taking a massive risk signing a team friendly deal if he were to finally stay healthy and put up a monster season so an overly team friendly deal was likely not in the cards. Given his extensive injury history it's just as likely as not he suffers some sort of soft tissue injury that causes him to miss several months of the season, so paying him starter type money would have been a big risk for a team that's already reached the upper limits of it's payroll availability.

    I recall Jansen specifically stated during spring training that both parties agreed it made more sense to wait and see what type of season he had first. I get the feeling he'd be perfectly willing to sign an extension with the team once they align on value but time will tell.
  23. max silver
    If I recall correctly Bo hit 3 doubles to the pull side. One of them was a lazy fly ball where the left fielder was placed in the gap and had a long way to run but two of them were legitimately crushed.
  24. max silver
    An extension really didn't make a lot of sense for either side. Jansen would likely be leaving a lot of money on the table if he managed to stay healthy and the team could be taking a pretty big risk giving him starter money if Jansen ended up missing half of the season like he typically does.

    Turner was sitting at 153 wRC+ at the end of April so there's no need to act like his career is over because he's hit a rough patch.
