And as far as the hot hand/rest day thing goes, there are some flaws in the logic with that. For example, Story went 4 for 4 in his last game, but guess what, the team didn't play yesterday, so in effect he had a rest day. Wouldn't that cool him off just as much as sitting on the bench? Are we expecting the Sox not to hit tonight because they all had a rest day?

80 out of 85 is a pretty high % for a rookie who was struggling early in the season (OPS of .667 at the end of May). Plus his fielding hasn't been the greatest. Not sure why you have a beef with that. I think you'd have to do it on a game by game basis for a little better insight into why a certain player might have been sitting. And in each case I'm confident Cora would have had an explanation.

I'll take Cora's opinion over a message board poster's opinion, no matter how much I might respect the poster's opinion. It's as simple as that.

Shouldn't it be L v L: .718 R v L: .806 L v R: .801 R v R: .762 The bigger differential comes from RH batters against lefties instead of LH batters.
-
For some reason lefty pitchers tend to eat up lefty batters moreso than righties on righties do. Hence the infamous LOOGY which has now thankfully been mostly nullified. (Sorry notin.)
-
Excellent point.
-
Restgate was only about pitchers, of course.
-
I certainly agree with your point, but I always get a chuckle out of the word "acceptable"/"unacceptable", i.e. if we determine that it's unacceptable, where do we go from there?
-
Sure, we'll file that right next to Nick's dream of signing Ohtani...

Judge has the injured toe so he may have to be given a pass for that.

If this is all true it has to be one of the worst sports stories ever.

It's something I'll never understand. They're paying players tens or hundreds of millions, but they don't do anything about these hazards built into playing fields that would seem relatively easy to fix.

Refsnyder was already re-signed for next year.

If only a mascot would punch out Conor McGregor.

And it was hailed as a good lock-em-up-early move by the Rays. Risk comes in many forms. They might be able to void the contract in a case like this though, I would guess.

Anyone think it might be a good idea to fix the stupid f**king wall? Dodgers have a few dollars AFAIK. https://nypost.com/2023/08/14/rockies-jurickson-profar-is-latest-dodger-stadium-outfield-wall-victim/

OPS by months: 832 962 742 844 630

Despicable and inexplicable if true.
-
But Stanton doesn't tell us much about the "going rate" for DH's. When he signed his contract he was a lot younger and better player.

I'm glad I don't have a farm.

I have no real opinion on it one way or the other. But if Bloom and Cora think it's the right way to go, it's their call and I'm not going to get upset about it.

Details are slim at this point but here's the story: https://nypost.com/2023/08/13/mlb-looking-into-social-media-speculation-of-rays-wander-franco/

But then there's offensive RAR: Duran 14.7 Turner 14.2 Devers 11.0 Casas 9.8 Yoshida 9.7 Duvall 7.7 (in much fewer PA's)
