There's always something with him.

There's actually a pretty simple explanation for how someone could be both a Cliff-denier and down on the current team. It goes like this: if they hadn't fired Dombrowski and hadn't stopped spending, there wouldn't have been a Cliff and the 2021 team would be better than this.

I always wonder who you're referring to with these posts.
-
I don't think it's necessary for economic relationships to move in lockstep. Then again, I don't really understand much about economics.
-
Leads that are too big or too small don't fall in the sweet spot, I guess LOL
-
I believe it's true that there's a relationship between MLB salaries and MLB ticket prices, although they don't move in lockstep.
-
Of all the things that can be irksome about the save stat, my personal #1 is the way announcers think it's necessary to specify whether it's a 'save situation' or not, as if that's really important. Drives me nuts.
-
Imagine the Red Sox having a head of baseball ops whose real forte is pitching...
-
My optimistic spin is that it means the team plays hard for Cora. In a challenging season like this one, the manager can really make a difference.
-
The save stat was not a bad idea in principle. But the rules are messed up. It still amazes me that Rivera got charged with a 'blown save' in Game 5 of the 2004 ALCS. He came in in the 8th with runners at first and third, no outs and a one run lead. He gave up a sac fly that tied the game. He went on to pitch 2 innings and be charged with 0 runs, yet he got the 'blown save'. Tom Gordon, who put those runners on in the 8th, got credited with a hold and no blown anything. If the rules are no good, the stat isn't much good.
-
There will be a limit on Houck's innings this year, so that has to be taken into account too.
-
Let me ask this, just for fun. Without looking it up, how many of the rules for what earns a save and what earns a blown save do you know?
-
And you like to discredit any of the newer stats that you don't buy into.
-
You'd be better off stopping after the first sentence. Because wins, saves and ERA are all debatable stuff too.
-
Tatis hurt his left shoulder on a swing last night. Apparently he's had issues with this shoulder before. Another illustration of why $300 million + contracts are scary.

Bizarro Max Mojo

Andriese loaded the bases with one out. You're always off by one these days.
-
Meanwhile Porcello still sits at home, despite a 3.33 FIP last year...
-
Max has thrown the entire season of game threads into turmoil.
-
It's that cat and mouse game between pitchers and hitters that keeps baseball always interesting to watch.
-
There's some good news, though: Benintendi is hitting .154 and JBJ is hitting .125, so no one would have liked seeing that either.
-
I'll see your 3-9 start and raise it to a 2-10 start in 2011.
-
I think most of us (including the projections people) were under the impression Chaim was putting together a team that would be above .500 this year at least... Which could still happen.
-
Ben left us with virtually no pitching at any level.
-
The current team is a joint production of John, Ben, Dave, and Chaim. Nobody is without credit or without fault.
