'Lengthen the lineup' seems to me to be another one of those buzz phrases that get used a lot because they sound cool.
-
It's harmonic convergence, man.
-
It was quite the celebration JD and Holt had after Holt's homer last night. And yes, I couldn't help wondering if JD gave Holt some advice before the AB. Buying into the hype, I guess...
-
Random thoughts of the day: -A bit surprisingly, Manny Machado is kind of doing jacksquat for the Dodgers so far. -Yasiel Puig - there's a fine line between being flamboyant/passionate and being a complete idiot. -Cubs starters Lester and Quintana are really struggling lately.
-
Shreve's .778 OPS vs. lefties isn't very good, but Cole's .980 is out of this world bad. Here are Cole's numbers vs. lefties this year: 78 PA's 358/436/806 for a robust OPS of 1.242
-
Plus Sandy has been playing so much more than he's used to.
-
Over his career Cole has allowed a .980 OPS against LH hitters. But Boonie let him pitch to both Nimmo and Conforto, with somewhat predictable results. Not sure what he was thinking.
-
I'm starting to believe Cashman did us a huge favor hiring this guy.
-
So let me get this straight: Boone brings A. J. Cole into a 1-run game and leaves him in there until he gives up 3 home runs. In fact he didn't even pull him right after the third home run. Boone just might have some serious issues as a manager.

WAR is the dumbest stat known to mankind (Trout vs. Betts)

Kimmi, I have not looked at this myself, but it might be interesting to look at Arizona's offense before and after JD last year. -
Should Jackie Bradley Jr be traded?
Bellhorn04 replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
This is one of JBJ's most encouraging stretches ever IMO. And he really had to pull himself out of the depths this time. -

I would suggest a rephrase: It's the 8 slot that sucks. Not killing us. -
Got off to kind of a scary start falling behind 8-3 in the first game, but outscored 'em 31-9 after that.
-
It has to be one of the most dominant runs in history.
-
Truer words were never posted.
-
Tonight he joins the ranks of the Killer B's.
-
If nothing else, Pomeranz provides some insurance in case of health issues with other starters.
-
I can't remember who it was, but I heard one of the commentators suggest a change where you can shift laterally as much as you want but no infielders can be in the outfield at the start of the play - they need to be standing on the infield dirt.
-
Yep. 5.47 career ERA at Rogers Center.
-
There seems to be a school of thought that if you bunt and try to go the other way more, you're doing exactly what the defense wants you to do. I dunno the answer.
-
I'm talking about the obvious trends of increased home runs and increased strikeouts at the same time as increased shifting. Surely there is some correlation.
-
You think it doesn't have much to do with the shift?
-
And 1978 of course. I looked it up. 8.5 game lead on August 20.
-
Offenses already have responded to the shift. Hitters focusing on launch angle, swinging for the fences, if you strike out it's no big deal. That's your response right there.
-
I agree with you. The relentless shifting has steered the game in a bad direction. I believe that Manfred is definitely going to bring in some rule changes in response.
