  1. Plus Sandy has been playing so much more than he's used to.
  2. 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.
  3. I'm starting to believe Cashman did us a huge favor hiring this guy.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. This is one of JBJ's most encouraging stretches ever IMO. And he really had to pull himself out of the depths this time.
  7. I would suggest a rephrase: It's the 8 slot that sucks. Not killing us.
  8. Got off to kind of a scary start falling behind 8-3 in the first game, but outscored 'em 31-9 after that.
  9. It has to be one of the most dominant runs in history.
  10. Truer words were never posted.
  11. Tonight he joins the ranks of the Killer B's.
  12. If nothing else, Pomeranz provides some insurance in case of health issues with other starters.
  13. 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.
  14. Yep. 5.47 career ERA at Rogers Center.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. You think it doesn't have much to do with the shift?
  18. And 1978 of course. I looked it up. 8.5 game lead on August 20.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. You can call me the voice of paranoia, but we still have plenty of work to do to clinch the division.
  22. I think it's more like an audition to see if he's worth keeping around for the playoffs. He's definitely on thin ice.
  23. A sound, rational and timely move.
  24. A Kimbrel Beard Chia Pet is an excellent idea.
