    Advanced Binkyness.
  2. Bellhorn04
    I've posted about plenty of other things this morning, dude.
  3. Bellhorn04
    I wonder who's gonna catch Sale and Kluber this time around?
  4. Bellhorn04
    Duran has obviously been putting in the work. His revival could be a major bonus for the 2023 team.
  5. Bellhorn04
    No, a walk isn't as good as a hit, but it beats the crap out of making an out.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Duran looks like a completely different guy. The dude is jacked.
  7. Bellhorn04
    The AL Beast has risen.
  8. Bellhorn04
    He showed plenty yesterday. And as much as he was struggling before that, he wasn't striking out much, so that was a good sign.
  9. Bellhorn04
    As goofy a stat as OPS can be, at least it's on the right track, because OBP and SLG are both of more importance than BA.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Maybe the biggest question of all for this team is this: which AL East team do we think we can pass?
  11. Bellhorn04
    Our hitting has been fine, and our relief pitching has been great. Our starting pitching has been abominable.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Vazquez has an fWAR of 0.3. That projects to a season-ending number of about 2.4, which will be valued in free agent dollars at about $20 mill. And he's making $10 mill. So I disagree with you there too.
  13. Bellhorn04
    OK, maybe I'm clutching at straws when I say he might do better with Wong. Maybe that's just my way of being optimistic...
  14. Bellhorn04
    I know, but that's baseball. One bad pitch can result in up to 4 runs. It's just how the game is designed. There's a small margin for error.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I really don't see how the starting pitching is looking good. Houck looks pretty good. The rest are all question marks. Hopefully Bello does well today.
  16. Bellhorn04
    And Whitlock gave up 5 in 4 last night. I think we'll be evaluating on a game-by-game basis...
  17. Bellhorn04
    So after 22 games we're in last place and 7.5 games out of first, and yet the mood here is relatively upbeat. Is it possible we're being conditioned to have lower expectations?
  18. Bellhorn04
    I think that remains to be seen.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Now for the grisly tale of the tape on our starters vs. relievers after 22 games: Starters 6.64 ERA .873 OPSa Relievers 3.31 ERA .638 OPSa
  20. Bellhorn04
    Good counterpoints, moon. I will say I don't think anyone will refute that that we weren't expecting Wong to catch as much as he has, especially where he's obviously the weaker bat. Also, I don't think it's fair to call focusing on Sale and Kluber cherry-picking. They're supposed to be our #1 and #2 starters, after all.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Well enough to be one game over .500, yes. When I posted that it was one game under. I do admit I've had a gloomy outlook this year, much more so than usual. There's no cure for that like winning games.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I know all that, but when you have a difference of 3 runs a game in 2 separate seasons, it's extremely unusual. I've never seen anything like it. Here's one statistical observation that's totally unbiased. Sale and Kluber have each started 3 times with McGuire and once with Wong. In both cases the only good start was with Wong. If it was all random, the chances of the one good start coming with Wong would be 25% for each pitcher. The chances of it happening with both are 25% * 25% = 6.25%. It doesn't prove anything, but it's more statistical evidence that Wong is somehow getting better results.
  23. Bellhorn04
    True, but the huge CERA difference between the two goes back to 2022, post-trade deadline. That's exactly what makes it so notable, with virtually a whole different set of pitchers.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I think if Bogaerts was being honest he would tell you he never expected to get anything like $280 mill. Oddly the Padres with all their expensive stars are muddling along at 10-12.
  25. Bellhorn04
    And Verdugo has been tremendous so far this year. He's a free agent after 2024 BTW.
