Absolutely.
-
Alex Speier speculates it will be mid-August.
-
Yep, and he played in 2 hitter's parks, Comerica and Fenway, so it makes sense that his ERA+ is about average.
-
I think I'm just playing devil's advocate for something to do, if I'm honest about it. One thing's for sure - I'm ecstatic that we have Cora and they have Boone.
-
In the big picture, he's having about exactly the season you would expect Martin Perez to have.
-
His career ERA+ is 99. So in performance he was almost perfectly average.
-
I think ERA+ is an easy and sensible upgrade over ERA. All ERA+ does is adjust the ERA for things like the ballpark and the league averages for that year. It makes perfect sense because baseball does have a lot of quirks. The playing fields are all different dimensions, and run scoring goes up and down from year to year for various reasons.
-
You're making my head spin a little now. We've been talking about his fWAR over and over. Now you're saying to take it with salt.
-
And in his last 7 starts Perez's ERA is 3.55. The guys at Red Sox Stats are cherry-pickers just like us!
-
Right, but: -iortiz keeps quoting Porcello's Fangraphs data as if it's the most valid. -Porcello pitched well in 2020 according to FanGraphs data.
-
One run lead, runners at seconds and third and no outs. If you play the infield in, you're also increasing the risk of a ground ball getting through and scoring two runs. I get your argument, but I think there is an argument against it too.
-
Can you detail this one please?
-
It would be pretty wild if they do trade Downs to Miami.
-
I'm no genius, but yes, I would think they have to be looking at Whitlock as a possible replacement for Ottavino, if we see more issues with Adam.
-
If so many Yankee relievers weren't suddenly sucking, Boone wouldn't be looking nearly as bad.
-
I don't know if it's blind luck or not, but the combination of the new baseballs and the removal of the sticky stuff seems to have worked out just about right. We're still seeing good pitching performances, but offense has ticked back up some.
-
We need a topic deadline here. No more posts about Porcello after tonight!
-
Based on what, though? He made the playoffs his first 3 seasons. Not even AC did that.
-
This statement kind of demonstrates how difficult some of these decisions are. How is Boone actually supposed to know Green's state of mind? Is there a PTSD test he can give him?
-
That's the one clear criticism I see. 3 straight hits and no outs recorded, you replace the guy, unless it's Mariano Rivera.
-
Kind of a mixed metaphor, says Mr. Picky here LOL
-
I think the relief pitchers had something to do with it too.
-
It's baseball.
-
Waiting on Arroyo, trying all internal options, and likely exploring a trade.
-
Max, the Yankees have been awful with RISP all year, with sporadic exceptions like this.
