Zack Davies sucks. Whitlock is supposed to be better than him. If not, just send him to the pen for good.
Last night’s lineup was interesting for sure. We’ll see what it looks like today.
He was just not producing in April at all. Will take him a long time to pull his way out of the hole if you’re only looking at season numbers.
My eye test was telling me that he was hitting the ball pretty damn hard and taking a lot of walks. Seems like a good foundation to me!
Barrel % 84th percentile
Av Exit Velo 73rd percentile
Max Exit Velo 73red percentile
His xWOBA the past 100 PA's has been pretty good. His bad April is dragging down his overall numbers.
797 May OPS
I was hopeful that Mayer was going to rocket through the system, but he started off a little slow this year. He's probably not going to get to BOS until 2024.
You can talk about "cherry-picking" time frames, but he also only threw 2 QS over 25 games from 7/1/22 to present day. That is a really long stretch. Ignore all the other numbers. It's not simply about a few starts dragging down the overall picture.
Complaining about how he's pitching from 7/1/22 - today, sure! Why not? It was a good trade, but that's besides the point. He shouldn't be in the rotation right now.
Might. Might not.
We could have another fun filled Bloom offseason to look forward to.
Maybe we'll get to accidentally go over the CBT AND miss the postseason again!
