9/18 kc @ sox

Back to back sacs! -
Believe it or not, Pivetta has been an average pitcher, ERA-wise, with the Red Sox, with an ERA+ of 102. An average starter is, by definition, a #3 starter, on an average team. On a good team, probably a #4.

Thought you liked the 2022 Mets.
-
And yet his 2022 OPS+ is exactly 2 points lower than his 2019 OPS+. You have to keep in mind that the baseballs are not juiced now like they were a few years ago, and offense is down period. Some numbers for Bogey for 2018-2022, leaving out the shortened 2020: OPS+ 2018 135 2019 139 2021 129 2022 137 wRC+ 2018 133 2019 141 2021 130 2022 139 fWAR 2018 4.4 2019 5.9 2021 4.4 2022 5.9 Conclusion: amazingly consistent and not in decline.

How perfect is it that the Yankees are going up against George Costanza today?
-
I will bet that jackson is right on this one.
-
Dalbec seems like the classic case of "holes in the swing". Or one more example that hitting major league pitching is pretty freakin' hard.
-
Devers and Bogaerts both have higher OPS+ than 2021. I keep pointing this out to moon. He keeps agreeing, and then going back to saying they've declined.
-
Is that only because it was the third out? If it was the second out the run would count, correct?
-
"Inauspicious" - exactly the word I was going to use. Says it all, but in a dignified fashion.

Whyzat?

Yahoo!

Whitlock should be fine. The lingering hip injury obviously affected some outings. They've cut him back to one inning appearances.
-
Another crap start for Montas. Another meltdown by Holmes. The Yankees will likely end up with Peralta or Loisaga or Trivino as closer.

9/16 Royals @ Red Sox

They've had their share. -
Not Casas?
-
Some say more shifts led to more guys swinging for the fences and that led to more strikeouts.
-
What is up with that new sig line LOL?
-
notin made a good point, they instituted a change this year that allows catchers to give pitchers signs electronically. Has anybody really noticed this or found that it detracts from their enjoyment of the games? I haven't heard much. By the same token, I think once robo calls are in place no one will notice that much either.
-
Don't even need data, really, just reading the game threads here is enough.
-
Theo Epstein explained it. He admitted that some of the analytics have made the game less fun to watch. It wasn't anything intentional, it just happened.
-
My basic answer would be that people are not as simple as they're sometimes made out to be. I am interested in some of the analytical stuff. I like WAR. But some of the analytical stuff goes way beyond what I'm interested in. As for the shifting, I don't like what it does to the game and I'm glad about the rule change. Something else I will mention-Theo Epstein himself was probably one of the driving forces behind the change. Like I say, people aren't that simple.

As far as those 14 games against AL East games are concerned, the pessimist is the realist.
-
No worries, Manfred will fix what needs to be fixed.

Wouldn't It Be Nice
