    Not bad. Especially hitting 95 with his fastball.

    The baseball season is such a roller coaster, it'll drive you nuts if you let it. 27-23 isn't the worst shape to be in.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Not a big numbers guy are you? He's 2nd on the team in BA .294 T2nd in OBP .371 4th in RBI 21

    I'm just sticking up for managers, really. I think their job is fairly demanding.
  5. Bellhorn04
    It was some game though!
  6. Bellhorn04
    I would certainly think so.
  7. Bellhorn04
    That's an occupational hazard for her (Guerin).
  8. Bellhorn04
    I wouldn't count Holt out just yet. Sidney Crosby had severe concussion issues that looked like they might end his career, and look at how he's come back.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Big Dick will be up to it.

    Great day for Johnson. And that Bradley guy in center is pretty good too.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Hanley ran a red.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Damn would it be nice to get a good game from Johnson!
  13. Bellhorn04
    Probably a failure to realize how much speed he's lost. He used to be a good base runner.
  14. Bellhorn04
    X-bo has been a beast lately....972 OPS in May.
  15. Bellhorn04
    You are relentless.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Jeez, give the guy a break. There are women who like guys like Speier. Kimmi has made that clear. Women can be very generous souls.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I hear ya on that.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Lots of runs please. Double figures would be nice. How about a 13-5 win and a day off for Kimbrel?
  19. Bellhorn04
    Holy crap it looks miserable there.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I think that in games managers don't have to be geniuses, but like I said earlier their real job is not to screw up. And in close games there will usually be an opportunity or two to screw up. And if they do screw up they will take a beating for it. So there's some pressure involved there.

    Those long AB's have really become a big deal in this day of strict pitch counts.
  22. Bellhorn04
    More home runs, yes, but Bogaerts has more extra base hits in fewer at bats, and his SLG is 46 points higher.
  23. Bellhorn04
    JBJ has a 1.1 WAR. So he is a positive contributor in spite of the weak offensive numbers.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Ha, that's way too much work. My point is that the manager does have a lot of these calls to make. In the old days they called it playing the percentages, and I believe that's still largely the case. In some cases the percentages may only be 55/45 in favor of a particular move. Nonetheless the manager has to have a rationale for each decision. He doesn't just change pitchers or use pinch hitters and pinch runners arbitrarily, does he.
  25. Bellhorn04
    The fact that these are judgment calls doesn't mean there's no right or wrong.
