    Don't look now, but since August 1 Swihart has a .470 OPS. Although he's had some good games and some timely hits, in reality he has done very little to establish himself as much more of an offensive threat than the other two.

    But the question is even more difficult than you're making it. First of all, I don't think using the last 5 years is a generally accepted methodology-maybe a weighted 3 years. Secondly, JBJ is likely to get a raise next year and another one in 2020, so you have to factor that in.

    My deepest condolences for your loss, YOTN, and my wishes for you and your family going forward from this.

    Wright would have to do a lot this month to sneak ahead of Porcello.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Agree 100%. Very biased approach.

    No, this thread was started early in the 2017 season.

    It is a smart idea, that seems to be clear. The only problem is that within a few years everyone will be doing the same thing, which sort of neutralizes any advantage and arguably makes the games a little less enjoyable, much like defensive shifts.

    Today is what you call a beautiful day at the ball yards.

    And more questioning of Boone's bullpen choices. Why is A. J. Cole the first guy out of the pen in an important game that's still close? And then Green in after that?

    Yanks lose. Sox up 8.5 Yanks up 3.5 over Oakland for Wild Card home field.

    Red Sox are 12-3 in interleague games. In 2017 they were 16-4 and in 2016 they were 14-6. That's 42-13 (.764) since the start of 2016. There's just no explanation for some of this stuff.

    It's like Jeopardy sometimes LOL

    3-1 A's after 1. And Sabathia copied Eovaldi with 39 pitches in the first.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Kinsler also had some key hits in those 3 straight come-from-behind wins.

    This is the JBJ thread, not the JDM thread...

    Look, if you statmeisters are going to use terms like 'right tailed outcome', you need to explain 'em to the common folk.

    Just in case anybody missed it: Stanton was out of the lineup yesterday for rest purposes. Bottom of the 8th, Yanks down 8-5, bases loaded and 2 outs, Hechavarria due up. Fill-in manager Josh Bard (Boone serving one-game suspension) pinch-hits with Greg Bird. Bird flies out to end the inning. After the game Bard is asked if Stanton was available to pinch-hit there. I'll let Larry Brooks of the NY Post take it from there: Bard...said Stanton was available. “He was available but we wanted to make sure it was either to win the game …” Bard said, failing to complete the thought before pivoting to cite “the matchup” in explaining why he instead called on Greg Bird to hit for Adeiny Hechavarria in that spot against Victor Alcantara. Um, but that was a situation in which Stanton could have won the game.
  18. Bellhorn04
    In my wildest dreams I didn't expect the Yanks to end a 7 game home stand against the White Sox and Tigers at 3-4. A huge break for us.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Only under the right circum$tance$, huh?
  20. Bellhorn04
    I don't think that was the real letter either.
  21. Bellhorn04
    OK, well, if somebody really wanted to try to make a case for protection this might be a good example to look at. The theory is that if you're protected you should be getting better pitches to hit - more fastballs and closer to the middle of the plate, I assume. If someone had the pitch data they could tell us if JBJ is getting better pitches or not.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Yes, we need Sale, Price and ERod to be our iron troika. I'm not counting Porcello out either. Inconsistent but when he's on he's really on.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I deleted that post because it wasn't quite accurate. JBJ wasn't moved down to the 9 spot till May. But the point probably stands. His numbers have improved because his swing has improved.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Yes he has, Station. He had hits in the rallies in all 3 consecutive come-from-behind wins against the Marlins and White Sox you might remember from just a few games ago. And he's been with the team less than 20 games. Yeesh!
  25. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, Better Call Saul is great. Just so well written and well acted. And it was a brilliant choice to have Mike as one of the lead characters.
