  1. As fate would have it, he's pitching tonight on 4 days rest. He also pitched May 1 on 4 days rest.
  2. Are there offensive stats that do factor in luck?
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Or like Sale he needs a change of injury luck.
  7. 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.
  8. 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!"
  9. The overall results have been excellent, that's indisputable.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. There's a thread for the Sale trade.
  13. Sam lit a fire under the guys! He's like the executive version of Big Papi!
  14. Shocking behavior on an unmoderated fan site!
  15. I actually agree with you. Just tryin' to keep things fair.
  16. You know what he meant. And oddly enough, I can't find the word "irritating" in his posts.
  17. I hope you didn't really take that seriously. We have a lot of jokers here.
  18. 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.
  19. 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/
  20. Buy, Buy, Miss American Pie. (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)
  21. Rice is a big kid. Yankees may have made a nice under the radar score with him.
  22. But it's pretty hard to dispute what Earl Weaver said about momentum.
  23. No, it didn't, and IMHO notin's argument about the Braves having more depth than us explains why it made sense for them, but doesn't explain why it made sense for us. If we kept Sale and he got injured, obviously we'd have to put him on the IL and fill in for him. That's just normal everyday business in a world where pitchers are dropping all over the place. We lost Giolito and Whitlock for the year, and Bello and Pivetta have had IL stints.
  24. The Dodgers bet $136 million on Glasnow. That's a lot of chancin' and hopin'...
