    58 PA's 39 Low 15 Medium 4 High So hardly any high leverage. But I'm curious about the situations you're talking about. Where are they?
  2. Bellhorn04
    I think that's a strawman about his physique. I don't think anyone here has seriously suggested he'll break down because he's too small.
  3. Bellhorn04
    I looked through his game logs and couldn't find anything like this. Taylor pitched well in 2019. Last year was a writeoff. This year has been shaky but he's done well in his last 5 appearances.

    I wasn't, really. I don't know that much about the real Ted.
  5. Bellhorn04
    I can accept 6/3 as a Quality Start because a) it's the baseline; and the 6 innings part is clearly good.
  6. Bellhorn04
    I like this, although I would say that only two of the changes should be slam-dunks - the 5/2 and the 8/4. With the 3 and 4 inning quality starts, the question arises whether this was actually what the team needed. 3 innings leaves 6 to cover for the pen. But in some cases, obviously, like with a spot starter, 3 scoreless innings might be getting the job done.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Was Ted a nice guy, would you say?
  8. Bellhorn04
    Dom was not much in the looks department. And his bat was smaller.
  9. Bellhorn04
    You've got double mojo going. 2 thread starts, 2 Sox wins and 2 Yankee losses.

    Plus he has survived several bouts with cancer. And he doesn't whine about any of it. Good guy.

    Have some mercy on the Leafs and their fans. They haven't won since 1967. My poor brother-in-law is a Leafs fan, New York Jets fan and Detroit Tigers fan.

    Really happy for Dalbec. He killed it last year and this spring, then ran into the buzzsaw of MLB pitchers who now had a "book" on him, as they used to call it.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Yes, and having given this much more thought than I should, I believe that Williams's numbers are more impressive because of the absurd .482 OBP. Also, we know now that Yankee Stadium was much friendlier to left handed hitters than Fenway was.
  14. Bellhorn04
    What this also illustrates is that in small samples, OPS in particular can be a distorted stat because of the inflationary factor. One home run yields an OPS of 5.000.
  15. Bellhorn04
    It was former Red Sox scout Bob Hamelin who persuaded the team they should grab Whitlock if they had the chance. It was a great move whatever you want to call it: find, gamble... Personally I like to think of it as picking the Yankees' pocket.
  16. Bellhorn04
    I do think it's reasonable to assume that Bloom will be given the same type of latitude as the other ex-Rays guru Friedman got from the Dodgers, and that he will exercise it.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, they look awesome. What a homer.
  18. Bellhorn04
    In 2019 it was Restgate. This year it's 14gate.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Now you're talking.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Out of the remaining 4, the one with the least innings is Brice at 8. If we didn't have him from Day 1, those innings would likely have gone to DHern, Taylor and Valdez, all at 11.1. Yes, they could have absorbed those innings. But for whatever reason, they wanted to have a look at Brice and the other 3 as well. They knew why they wanted 14 pitchers, and that's all that matters.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Except he's been walking the ballpark.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Well, yeah, he's been the only reliable guy in high leverage situations, and Cora has been trying to win games. Whitlock and Andriese have also logged 15.1 innings each, and Ottavino and Sawamura have 13.1 and 13. So 5 guys have been carrying fairly heavy inning loads, especially after the short 2020 season.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Sorry Max, but this is antiquated thinking. Be happy Barnes is doing a good job, but only because it increases what we can get for him.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Let's face it, none of those guys are going to be picking up any slack. Anyway, we'll only have Barnes until July. Cora just has to be careful not to burn him out before we can trade him.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Barnes is on pace for 85 innings. Some might call that overused - abused, even.
