  1. I think the general assumption is that it's having a big effect all over baseball. Run-scoring has suddenly gone up sharply.
  2. Exactly. Those are the relevant comparisons.
  3. And in the classic country song 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", the lyric is "When two men go out to face each other, only one returns."
  4. You stop. 28 is NOT 6% better than 22.
  5. .280 is actually 27.3% better than .220. It's all about the denominator...
  6. And he hit so well last year. It's a crazy freaking game.
  7. With one exception, I guess, the crackdown on sign stealing.
  8. Mookie is definitely worth top-of-the-market salary. Will he be worth it for 12 years, or even 6? No one knows. My biggest concern over that time is injury, not underperformance.
  9. Yes. Generally speaking, it's the pitchers who decide the outcome.
  10. That's pretty close to how I feel.
  11. I think good pitching beats bad pitching.
  12. I don't know, but I suspect those twitch reflexes were part of Aaron's success.
  13. That was the Curt Schilling credo. As a person he's nutty as a fruitcake, but he does have some pretty good baseball knowledge.
  14. And that's not on the fans, sadly. The mantra "if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'" has never seemed more appropriate in baseball.
  15. Dalbec is a project for the 2021 season. I expect he'll see it through unless the bottom really falls out.
  16. I don't think there is one shred of empirical evidence to support the premise that Mookie will not 'age well' as a player.
  17. What a difference even a few innings can make in our perspective...
  18. We have to get to work on the pre-approved sticky stuff. Will it be doled out to pitchers in little tins before they enter the game?
  19. Also worth noting that Josh Taylor hasn't given up a run since April 24.
  20. In the immortal words of Al Davis: "Just outscore the other team, baby!"
  21. Robo ump and pitch clock are fine. But they have nothing to do with these other problems causing the fustercluck.
  22. Ah yes, back when men were men. Maybe you missed Mike Hargrove - "The Human Rain Delay".
  23. This team is going to set some sort of record for come-from-behind wins.
  24. It's how they make their living, too...
