Good old Joe Kelly doesn't mince words. "The guy is a douche", he said about Donaldson.
-
I was going to post the same thing, but moon was a bit crafty with the "early May" part.
-
Giants and your Packers are tied for 5th place in Super Bowl wins with 4.
-
Overall accuracy was 74.4% that year. My original reference was to 35-40 yard kicks as being high-percentage. I had forgotten that Norwood's attempt was from 47. Nonetheless his is the missed FG everyone remembers most.
-
Marwin Gonzalez has taken his talents to the Bronx.
-
Frank Howard didn't really fall in either category. He just had a huge frame.
-
This homemade chart shows the NFL average from 47 yards for the years 2009-2019 at 75%. That's a fairly high percentage play. You're right about Norwood not being good beyond 40.
-
I don't think that's right.
-
Fan perception/media perception. Bill Buckner's career was negatively defined on one play and he freely admitted that it made his life miserable. It's a real thing.
-
Judge is too old to get $300 mill IMHO. He probably will though.
-
Vaz has a .723 OPS in May after .523 in April.
-
Which prompted an article by Joel Sherman in today's NY Post titled: Josh Donaldson's latest run-in raises difficult questions about just what kind of teammate he is
-
Chapman continues to be a concern.

I have to agree for the most part. I also get notin's argument that the pitching the 8th inning can sometimes be harder, if the heart of the order is up. But there's something about having a guy like Kimbrel or Papelbon or Rivera pitching the 9th every time you have the lead. It's a sort of comfortable feeling. They will occasionally blow games but they usually bounce right back. It's something you can count on. As for the pressure of pitching the 9th, I do think it's different. To me it's like a field goal kicker who has a chance to win or lose the game on the last play from say 35 or 40 yards. It's a high-percentage play for them. But the thing is, the whole game is on them, and everyone is watching them, maybe many millions of people. Are you Adam Vinatieri, or Scott Norwood? Keith Foulke, or Calvin Schiraldi? Your career is going to be defined by this moment, and possibly ruined by this moment.

Danish put up a pair of scoreless innings in yesterday's game, in a low-leverage situation that turned out to be important.
-
Which would move Schreiber to the top of the righty depth chart, unless they move Houck to the pen.
-
Yeah, it's a rather arbitrary rule, but if the ball stays in the park, they only count one run, but if it leaves the park it's like any other home run.
-
Sorry harmony. Not sorry we swept, but you're a good baseball fan and deserve some reward for it.
-
The thing is you're all over the place. You say there's nothing wrong with people liking analytics and then you call them nerds and say the analytics are only good if they're on toilet paper.
-
You've said that you don't care about OPS.
-
No, you said more. You said "more HR, and RBI is good enough for me." It's the "good enough for me" part that has caused the arguments.
-
Players always get contracts based on what they've done. That's just how it works.
-
Pretty hard to even understand what you're saying here.
-
He has averaged 8.3 bWAR per 162 games. Trout is at 9.6. I don't think there's anyone else higher than 8.3, but I could be wrong. Who do you think might be higher?
-
Don't know what else to say then.
