  1. The third year penalties are one of the things players should be fighting against in the next CBA.
  2. To me it's a perfect logical premise that confidence and comfort levels in clutch situations have *some* variance from one player to another. I think you have admitted to the existence of other psychological factors: 1) The biggest job of the manager is off the field, keeping his players loose and ready to play. All psychological. 2) Some hitters tend to be more comfortable in certain spots in the batting order, and it's not a good idea to mess with their heads. All psychological. 3) Some pitchers are more comfortable working with some catchers than others. Some of which may relate to actual skill factors, but much of it is psychological. And yet you totally reject the premise that some players handle pressure moments better than others. What data supports the first two propositions above?
  3. Kimmi, you totally buy into 'comfort level and confidence' being big factors when it comes to pitchers doing better with certain catchers. And yet it's a totally intangible, anecdotal, unprovable position. Seems a little inconsistent to me.
  4. This is why it never ends.
  5. This is why JH keeps his trap shut now.
  6. Dalbec has played in 118 major league games. .757 OPS 101 OPS+ 20 HR 65 RBI
  7. Good post. The only thing I don't get is the 'No more sentimentality' comment. Not sure what you're getting at there.
  8. Santana OPS by month: Apr 869 May 783 Jun 662 Jul 675 Aug 347 Thank you Chaim...
  9. And he's .004 OPS lower than Santana, a guy many wanted to trade for to replace him. Obviously Santana has had some ups and downs too.
  10. Severino's rehab is on pause.
  11. I agree with your point. With the Cubs, Theo tanked hard for several years, won one ring, and left scorched earth to Hoyer. But he's the GOAT and Dombrowski is a bum to some.
  12. But with a .500 OBP, higher than Ted Williams's, and averaging 324 runs scored per 162 games, also an all-time record.
  13. Dalbec .703 Carlos Santana .707 The team's patience with Dalbec may yet pay off hugely.
  14. Pivetta now has a full 80 points of breathing room under 700hitter's 5.00 ERA bar.
  15. Bauer will get a good lawyer, you can be sure of that.
  16. That's party poop.
  17. Dalbec may be rising from the grave!
  18. Having Marwin in the lineup last night was a little like the condemned man's last cigarette, wasn't it?
  19. Did the Birds trade anyone at the deadline?
  20. Friday the 13th. The Birds in town. Won't be very surprising if a black cat runs onto the field.
  21. You don't actually hear the "going in a different direction" applied to players very often. Usually it's reserved for executives and managers.
  22. Delightfully cynical.
