  1. I can ignore the low bb rate, if you're in the 97th percentile for k rate. This team can't even put the ball in play when runners are on.
  2. Wilyer is at 1 fWAR already. Steamer projected him for 1.4 fWAR for the whole season with terrible defense. The games are always more important. The data can give us some insight and some fun quirks, but it doesn't predict the future anymore than the magic 8 ball that sits on my daughter's desk.
  3. Yoshida rarely k's. He has a wonderful approach that is lacking. I think we've all had some questions about the roster construction here.
  4. You'd think he'd benefit, as SoxProspects used to always proclaim that Meidroth was the master of the ABS system. However, when they looked into it, Meidroth had about a 50% challenge rate, which would probably be the same as Tristan's. I'm with you, I'd rather he have a better two strike approach. What other reason is there for him to adjust his stance with two strikes??? His called third strike % is 39%, which is just about the same as '24 and '22. Seems like '23 is the abberration. It's weird that he's swinging more earlier in the count, but taking the same amount of borderline called third strikes. Right now, his bb rate is way down and his hard hit rate is down. He's going oppo more than ever. There may be SOME BABIP luck going on, but I think he's a guy that needs a few to drop in just to get his confidence back.
  5. If Story stays healthy, he's a 4 win player.
  6. If he's treating it like Spring Training and hitters are sitting on the offspeed stuff, I can't worry about the outcome as long as he's locating his pitches.
  7. Slaten leaning into that big curve. His curve has more vertical break than 2015 Kershaw. 😍
  8. I’m not on here every night. I have girls softball to attend.
