We're in first place this year, Hugh. Why is next year going to be so different?
-
You might say the jury is still out on the Stanton acquisition. 22 mill seemed like an excellent price. But he wasn't expected to be a DH only, or to have so much trouble staying healthy. But he can still mash when he plays.
-
He's also in his first full season.
-
Join the club.
-
Maybe because Bobby raised his OPS 50 points last night. That's OPS for you. I'll say it again, they are doing a great job handling Dalbec and the struggles he's had.
-
Total nonsense, Nick. Look at the number of days he gets between appearances. His usage is completely different from regular relievers who often throw on back to back days or 3 days in a row.
-
Here's a simple one: Take Slugging Percentage, and expand it to include walks and HBP. Call it Bases Generated Percentage. Something like this: BB 1 base HBP 1 base 1B 1.25 bases (or something like that) 2B 2 bases 3B 3 bases HR 4 bases Then work out the pct. like SLG.
-
Dalbec has lifted his OPS to .673. -
Game Score is a Bill James one. I don't look at it much, but it's not bad. It's simple. It's like Passer Rating in football.
-
We could see Duran this year, after the Olympics, wouldn't surprise me at all.
-
The simple answer is that it's up to the official scorer to call it an error or not.
-
Pitchers will have to adapt to this, it's as simple as that.
-
Yep, a lot of arbitrary stuff for sure.
-
And all this is why your favorite folks the stat nerds tried to come up with a number that captures it all, including the stolen bases etc. All that stuff gets factored into WAR.
-
Yes, it might be over-tinkering. However, I do agree that a single should have a marginally higher value than a walk.
-
Wow, I didn't know that. Doesn't seem fair.
-
I wouldn't call that a 'major' flaw. But if you really wanted to refine it, maybe you could apply an appropriate discounting factor to BB's and HBP's.
-
Yes, OBP counts HBP's.
-
If Richards, Pivetta and Perez continue to pitch like they can't get a grip on the ball, I'm afraid Bloom's offseason work doesn't look quite as nifty.

June 18: BOS (Pivetta) @ HOU (TBD)

I didn't want to say anything about it before the game, but this post had an awful 'famous last words' ring to it. -
In baseball, the only way we know .300 is a good batting average is by comparing it to other averages. By itself, .300 seems like a low average. But it takes a lot of skill to hit .300. A .300 hitter is much more valuable than a .200 hitter. These are not difficult concepts.

James Kaprielian beats Yankees. He's 4-1 with a 2.84 ERA. Cash traded him in 2017 for Sonny Gray. Cash gave up on Gray and traded him to the Reds (for Shed Long), where he is 17-15 with a 3.14 ERA. These are the things that make you wonder if Cash knows what he's doing any more.
-
Same here.
-
Bloom has done a great job this year, but still has his hands full going forward - like most GM's. Our offense this year revolves around 4 guys. 2 of them may be gone after 2022, and the other 2 start their arb years next year.
-
We now have 3 favorite teams: 1 Red Sox 2 Whoever's playing Yanks 3 Whoever's playing Rays 2 and 3 may be reversed depending on standings.
