  1. This supposes that all balls are the same. Some pitches outside the zone are barely outside the zone and he's more likely to chase. If a pitcher is living on the edge of the zone, rather than down the middle or throwing waste pitches, Story will be more likely to chase.
  2. His chase rate was 12th percentile last season. Really, really bad. He hasn't had an average chase/whiff rate since 2018.
  3. If they are going to wait for a fulltime role to open up, he'll be in WOO through 2027.
  4. Which day was that exactly? Early April or early May?
  5. If you pinch hit Masa for Mayer/Rafaela/Durbin it probably necessitates using IKF or additional positional movements as Masa can't field those positions.
  6. Early is helping out because Suarez isn't ready to go because of the WBC. Bello is a little bit behind schedule too.
  7. "You can never have too much starting pitching." "Uh, actually." - The 2025 Dodgers
  8. He's a RHB and all their real OF/DH bats are LH. There's a spot for him if he can hit.
  9. The Dodgers had so much starting pitching that we just had to swoop in and capitalize on it.
  10. No, that trade was in question the second it was made. Nobody in their right mind was excited for Dustin "headed for the pen" May.
  11. I think it's hilarious that people on here can't even remember back to what happened 12 months ago. 😎
  12. See if he'll accept an option to AAA and then there'll be better guys for the taxi squad.
  13. Nah, that's not a good analogy as a lifeboat only prevents a passenger from dying rather than getting to their destination on time. This would be like if every ocean liner had an empty liner behind it just in case it broke down so that all the passengers could disembark. The lifeboats are Tyler McDonough and other guys that are barely good enough for AAA and should never get a call to MLB.
  14. Can they easily option Masa or no?
  15. They are waiting for an injury to an OFer that may never happen.
  16. Cora 1. loves Duran because he posts 2. wants Abreu to hit vs lefties 3. has moved Rafaela all over the field, in the past 4. has benched Masa for extended periods 5. played Anthony nearly every game when available
  17. Cora has also benched Masa for extended periods even when he's been swinging the bat well. Hard to say what the plan will be.
  18. Sox needed pitching and liked his pitch mix. They probably could have traded for him using a much lesser prospect though. Tibbs wasn't hitting well in POR, but was trying to adjust his mechanics to the Sox program and didn't have a long leash. It's clear that the guy can hit. Maybe they just thought he was really low on the depth chart? They probably would have dealt him by now, but I think it would have been better to get more than Dustin May out of the deal.
