  1. Maybe so, but his 4th inning numbers are OK, which obviously is second time through top of the order. So there may be a fatigue factor in there too.
  2. Yeah, but that doesn't change the fact that our best relievers just didn't get it done the last 2 games. Sometimes guys just don't perform. That's a completely separate issue from the lack of deadline moves, which disappointed me as well.
  3. We should have won the last 2 games, needless to say, with 7-2 and 4-1 leads. And we blew them with our best relievers on the mound. There's not much management can do about that.
  4. Good for you, iortiz. A man with some positivity.
  5. Yeah right. Buck Showalter. Don't lose your marbles, man.
  6. Gallo has 22 K's in his first 12 games as a Yankee.
  7. Sure, they could have traded every prospect.
  8. And they were limited in what they could do at the deadline, too.
  9. They were expecting, or hoping for better. It's been known to happen.
  10. Everyone seems to overlook the fact that Dalbec is a minimum wage player, which is important to a team trying to stay under the tax line.
  11. Yes, the idea was to shorten games, and the same with the 7 inning doubleheader games. These were temporary rules they put in because of COVID-19. Maybe they went overboard, but I think the reason behind them was a valid one.
  12. It's a COVID-19 rule that everyone agreed on.
  13. Sorry, what anecdotal evidence did I provide?
  14. But not so much on their left hands.
  15. OK, good thinking.
  16. Nelson Cruz might be a good comp. He's older than JD but keeps putting up .900ish OPS.
  17. So when you gonna change your avatar?
  18. Good call. I always count that as one of Big Papi's big moments too.
  19. This is a mathematical calculation based on the game situation-how close the score is, inning, men on base-which determines how much impact the at-bat has on the probable outcome of the game.
  20. You can't take away his April though. These guys have major hot and cold streaks. Mookie was going on at a pedestrian level most of the season, and then suddenly he went on a tear that lifted his OPS 100 points in a week or so.
  21. Oddly enough it's the Yankees who inspired this thread. I was reading a column by Joel Sherman on the acquisition of Gallo, and he mentioned that Gallo had some bad numbers in high leverage situations, and that he had this in common with Judge. So I went and looked it up and here's what I found (well, updated to August 8, 2021): These numbers are all for regular season career: PA/OPS Gallo Low leverage 988/824 Medium leverage 813/895 High leverage 416/710 Judge Low leverage 1102/947 Medium leverage 793/966 High leverage 353/809 I also remembered iortiz talking about Montgomery, so here are his numbers: Low leverage 542/544 Medium leverage 693/793 High leverage 214/707 Now for some Red Sox comps: JD Martinez Low leverage 2219/880 Medium leverage 1878/883 High leverage 1018/893 Now that's consistency! Big Papi Low leverage 4172/898 Medium leverage 3921/959 High leverage 1998/943 Could he possibly have focused harder in those bigger moments? Clutch vs. choke - do these numbers mean anything?
  22. JD is having the kind of "slump" great hitters have. After his 4 for 5 performance yesterday his OPS sits at .888. His career OPS is .884.
