    Right, but he exhibited no power last year either, and no power in his last 15 games in 2022.
  2. Bellhorn04
    The latter, presumably. And we don't know how much difference any of it makes. Maybe if Atlanta was pitching these guys on fewer days rest they'd have a better record. Don't you normally want to use your best as much as possible? They're not 5 deep in aces. Maybe what they're doing is stupid. It's all a matter of opinion.

    Crane machines LOL...those things are low-tech one-armed bandits.

    So Grissom's 2024 xOBA per Savant is .271 and his xSLG is .317. His Savant numbers seem to confirm he's been both unlucky and not very good.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Well, they're "accomodating" Max Fried exactly the same. The fact that Atlanta is using a different approach doesn't mean Sale or Fried wouldn't be able to handle Boston's approach. Full marks for effort, though.

    As fate would have it, he's pitching tonight on 4 days rest. He also pitched May 1 on 4 days rest.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Are there offensive stats that do factor in luck?
  8. Bellhorn04
    Atlanta's schedule has somehow allowed all of their starters to have extra rest days. If Sale pitches 3 innings tonight he will lead their rotation in innings. He hasn't been treated differently from their other starters.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I look mainly at FanGraphs. That's advanced enough for me. And I see a -0.9 fWAR. And I believe the luck stuff is factored into that.
  10. Bellhorn04
    I don't think many have said to DFA Grissom. Just that his chances of contributing in 2024 seem slim at this point. A .367 OPS and a recurring hamstring injury do tend to make you fall out of favor.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Or like Sale he needs a change of injury luck.
  12. Bellhorn04
    There's also a reasonable chance Grissom will stink again if they plug him back in. In the meantime, we might as well all keep guessing our asses off.
  13. Bellhorn04
    There have been a fair number of Grissom Pollies too. "Yeah, the injury and the flu set him back...he's been hitting the ball, just unlucky...only a matter of time before he starts raking!"
  14. Bellhorn04
    The overall results have been excellent, that's indisputable.
  15. Bellhorn04
    The problem with Grissom is that we're now at the stage that every game matters and they don't really have the luxury of trying to ease him back in. The only thing that would create an opening for him is injuries. The guys we have for second now are not stars, but they've been contributing.
  16. Bellhorn04
    That feels like a pretty large heap of ifs right now. Grissom has 2 IL stints and a -0.9 fWAR in the time he played. Not sure many would rather see him than Hamilton.
  17. Bellhorn04
    There's a thread for the Sale trade.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Sam lit a fire under the guys! He's like the executive version of Big Papi!
  19. Bellhorn04
    Shocking behavior on an unmoderated fan site!
  20. Bellhorn04
    I actually agree with you. Just tryin' to keep things fair.
  21. Bellhorn04
    You know what he meant. And oddly enough, I can't find the word "irritating" in his posts.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I hope you didn't really take that seriously. We have a lot of jokers here.
  23. Bellhorn04
    C'mon man, nobody said irritating over scoring, because nobody would. You injected that into the discussion yourself. jung was clearly suggesting irritating and scoring.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Pretty good data-based article on why the Braves thought Sale was worth taking a chance on. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/chris-sale-trade-three-stats-that-show-why-braves-are-taking-chance-on-veteran-lefty/

    Buy, Buy, Miss American Pie. (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)
