    His FIP has been over 5 the previous 2 seasons. He's pitching great now and being pulled early. Seems like it's working so it must be necessary.

    It didn't slow up the game at all. It would have had no measurable impact on the game if the announcers didn't guffaw over it.
  3. mvp 78
    But being 2 games back in May is basically meaningless due to the amount of games left and the sample size you're looking at.
  4. mvp 78
    I do.

    It's just about stocking up on guys that can go more than one inning at a time. Also, by getting rid of the LOOGY guys and one batter stints, it spreads the innings out more equitably among relief staffs.

    They pulled Wacha after 60 pitches and the game was still over in 2.5 hours. I don't see how anyone could complain about how that game went.

    The problem is that there was a period of time where pitch counts were the big thing and you would monitor how close a guy got to 100 pitches. That was the focus every game. Guy is at 85 pitches, maybe he gets taken out after the inning, maybe he faces a few more batters. Now, it's times through the order. It's just another way of looking at effectiveness.

    Good news is that they can just sign Benintendi this offseason if they really want him back.

    Wacha's hard hit % is 35.3 which is basically what it was from 2015-19. His xERA is 3.15, so it'd be dumb to not expect some sort of regression. One of the bigger changes is the pitches he's throwing. His cutter had a +12 run value (yuck) and was his worst pitch last year. He's almost cut it's usage in half. Probably needs to cut it even more since it has a hard hit % of 53.8 this season and has a .624 SLG. Cut it with the Cutter!

    Why would you put a cat in the bag, you monster?
  12. mvp 78
    They only have 4 more innings than league average.
  13. mvp 78
    High average and OBP, he only has 3 XBH though. His hard hit % is bottom 30% in the league. He's just reduced his k rate and gotten a little lucky (406 BABIP).
  14. mvp 78
    Every baseball game should be 2 hours and 23 minutes.
  15. mvp 78
    And Diekman did his job. Brasier came in and looked great. Sox then scored more runs so they could bring Low Leverage Sawamura in.
  16. mvp 78
    Seems like the time to make the move?
  17. mvp 78
    2 hits from Cordero and 2 from JBJ. HR’s from JD and Raffy. Pitching gives up 0 runs. Game ends in 2.5 hours. Today was a good day.
  18. mvp 78
    @IanMBrowne Josh Taylor (back) had a setback and the clock has stopped on his rehab assignment.
  19. mvp 78
    Chaim against eating at Outback whatsoever.
  20. mvp 78
    Davis in on MLB.com (I thought he was a pitcher), but Danish is not? I usually just go with them.
  21. mvp 78
    Guys like this are available at any time. @mlbtraderumors Dexter Fowler Granted Release From Minor League Deal With Blue Jays
  22. mvp 78
    Here's and under the radar guy: @SoxProspects Tyler Uberstine pitching line- 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 37/58 strikes (63.8%). The 22-year-old righty's ERA now sits at 1.59. He has struck out 16 batters over 17 IP while walking six. Last year's 19th round pick has 1.46 ERA in MiLB through his first 9 games (7 starts), 1.01 WHIP, 24 K and 7 BB.
  23. mvp 78
    Neither of those guys are listed on the 40 man.
  24. mvp 78
    They only get 40 man relief if he goes on the 60 day IL.
  25. mvp 78
    I'm taking a holistic approach. DFAing Arroyo doesn't fix the problem on its own, but it's part of the solution IMO.
