Jansen had your classic blown save for the Dodgers last night.
-
How's that Jay Bruce Experience so far, Jax? Some depth, huh?
-
Torres at shortstop is pure stupidity by Cashman. The man has issues with team construction.
-
The grim spectre of injury hangs over all these $300 million plus contracts. Last night Tatis suffered a shoulder injury, the kind that looked like it could be serious. Mookie is out of the Dodgers lineup tonight with lower back stiffness, which is presumably nothing serious.

In baseball, concerns tend to come and go.

The Mariners' rotation?

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.

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...
