I almost have to give credit to the guy who wrote this. That is some pro level gloating LOL
-
It's a non-issue. Manfred's report specifically stated that the Red Sox use of the video room for sign stealing only happened in the regular season. MLB actually had hall monitors in the video rooms during that postseason.
-
Per Baseball Trade Values?
-
That's a good way to put it.
-
This is an offseason like no other. Everyone is moving like snails crawling uphill through molasses in January.
-
The 'narrative', as some like to call it, is that DD went overboard - traded too many prospects in total, cleaned out the cupboard altogether. (And I'm not saying I agree.)
-
Yes, a Benintendi-Renfroe platoon should be just fine. And as you say there are bigger fish to fry.
-
oldtimer, in 2019, his last full season, Benintendi had a .774 OPS, and a 100 OPS+, meaning he was exactly average. Do you really think it's going to be an easy matter to replace him with a player who is guaranteed to be better than that? And what if you trade him, getting back little, and he returns to his 2018 form? You're really not thinking through the negative possibilities here, you're just assuming the positive ones.
-
Exactly.
-
Maybe the plan this offseason is to acquire as much pitching as possible with money. Including by way of ones of those reverse salary dumps like Kiermaier.
-
And he didn't ground into a single DP.
-
I don't know, I kind of liked Dalbec's .359 OBP in his first sample. He K's a lot but he'll take a walk, too. That can be a big difference-maker.
-
I'm not arguing, they should have had universal DH a long time ago. -
A few pitchers can hit a little. Bumgarner has 19 HR and 62 RBI in 679 career PA's.
-
And I'm a Canadian who has very little interest in hockey any more. To each their own.
-
The LPGA obviously lags far behind the men's tour, but the 2020 LPGA tour was scheduled for record high numbers in events and prize money, prior to the pandemic. They seem to have a good commissioner now, at least.
-
And it really is in your face when you watch a game now. Football is getting pretty bad with the avalanche of stats too.
-
But we know that analytics has a lot to do with starting pitchers getting yanked early and being replaced by a parade of relievers. If anybody didn't know about the 'third time through the order' mantra, it was made abundantly clear to them in the last game of the World Series.
-
But golf is doing fine, prize money keeps going up all the time, so I'm not sure that totally explains it.
-
About 40% of team revenues come from ticket sales, concessions and other gate-related revenues. The math is easy enough to check. Red Sox total 2019 revenue was 519 million 519 million * 40% = 208 million Attendance 2.915 million Average ticket price about $60 Total revenue from ticket sales = 175 million Concessions etc. would account for the difference
-
Defensive shifts are not so bad in themselves, but they appear to have triggered the offensive emphasis on launch angle, leading to more homers and much more K's. When Theo Epstein acknowledges that analytics are hurting the quality of the product on the field, to me that says a lot.
-
No, my assumption was that with no games, they lose TV revenues.
-
Double headers are bullpen killers though, the way pitching staffs are used now.
-
Understood. But what about TV revenues?
-
Riddle me this: how is it in the owners' interest to have a shorter season? It obviously reduces payroll costs, it just as obviously reduces revenue.
