  1. It's definitely a big stretch of games coming up. But they all are when you're battling for a playoff spot.
  2. Pretty simple, Max - Devers at 1B and Yoshida at DH was a better configuration than Devers at DH and Yoshida nowhere...
  3. Career OPS+ Manny Ramirez 154 David Ortiz 141 JD Martinez 131 Rafael Devers 128 Devers is a very good power hitter, but not nearly in the same class as Manny or Papi, much more in the class of JDM. Which makes him clearly overpaid as a DH.
  4. People say stuff like this all year, basically. 🙂
  5. Campbell, Garcia, Masa and Ref are not good OF depth for 2025. Campbell and Garcia are unproven as MLB players. And Masa and Ref are bad defensive players.
  6. Agree 100%. Depth can be very temporary. And good point about Bregman's health still being a concern.
  7. Yes, with regard to Bello and Rafaela, they are actually exceeding expectations right now, and those extensions do look very good...right now.
  8. Cigar moments are for when you win the ring.
  9. I think one John Henry cigar moment was plenty. 😄
  10. TYPM's argument about errors is a sort of novel one. He bases everything on the premise that once an error has been officially scored (or not), then it becomes an irrefutable fact.
  11. You'd have to elaborate on this a bit, because Abreu has a higher SLG and higher OPS.
  12. 2025 average MLB OPS stands at .715. Pitching is dominating.
  13. Personally I think it's one of those situations where players might prefer to not say anything about it, because it's a no-win situation anyway. Good thing Casas wasn't still around, I guess. I'll bet he would have said something.
  14. The Crochet extension was a sizable risk. As you alluded to, they're all risks now.
  15. It's really Captain Obvious stuff this year, isn't it. Crochet Chapman Honorables: Rafaela, Narvaez, Bregman, Story
  16. Here's a question for you. Why do you think MLB teams have large analytic departments?
  17. You can say the same about all projections and predictions. I don't pay much attention to them either.
  18. I think he might have the superior 'quick twitch' muscles like Mookie.
  19. Well, here's where you're simply dead wrong. Of course it's a guess. Two different scorers can call the same play differently. Sometimes they go back and review the play and change the call. The fact that it goes into the books as an error doesn't change the fact that it was only one person's opinion. It makes it easier for you to rely on errors and fielding % and ignore other metrics, but that doesn't make it right.
  20. Sure, it's a recorded fact that the official scorer called it an error. But that call is what you are referring to as a guess. By the same token there are recorded facts that metrics people determined it was a routine play, difficult play or whatever. There is absolutely no difference between the two types of determinations.
