    The good news is that Wong is finally starting to hit more like he did last season. He's been able to pick up the slack and give Narvaez a much needed breather.

    It takes about 3 seasons worth of data for defensive metrics to give us a good indication of how good or bad a player is defensively. It could be that one or two missed plays have really skewed his numbers negatively this season. I trust the defensive metrics because I know that we are often biased in what we see. Metrics take the bias out of these things as much as possible. All that said, Story still looks a lot better to me defensively than his metrics give him credit for.

    I think the Red Sox and the Yankees are pretty well evenly matched, and I think they are both a good bit better than the other wildcard contenders. On paper, I think it's a toss up between the two teams. Of course, we all know that baseball is not played on paper. Both teams could end up getting ousted from the wildcard spots. Or one of them could still win the division. My gut tells me that the Yankees and the Red Sox will earn the 1st and 2nd wildcard spots, respectively. My gut as near zero credibility when it comes to baseball.

    Plus, he looks really good defensively. I am baffled by his current defensive metrics. At any rate, it's good to see him healthy and playing well.

    We are also one of the least worst in MLB.

    Well, we ended up much better in the Bronx than I thought we would. To say that I'm pleased with taking 3 out of 4 would be a huge understatement. Now we need at least 2 of 4 in Baltimore, hopefully more.

    I second what Max said. Thank you for the time and effort that you all put into this site.

    I get that. He wasn't supposed to be a pure DH. And as a pure DH, you'd like to see a stronger bat. I guess I'm in the minority, but I'm okay with having him on the team.

    Losses like last night's loss are the toughest to take. A gut punch. While the losses all count the same, losing a close game in extra innings is still better than getting blown out by 10 runs. Maybe it's not better for the fans' morale, but it's better in terms of the team's talent and ability moving forward.
  10. Kimmi
    I agree. I'm really hoping we can at least split with the Yankees.

    Yoshida's 2023 and 2024 fWARs were heavily influenced by a large negative dWAR. I was responding to Max's post about Yoshida's recent offensive numbers. Granted, when you factor in defense, Yoshida has been a disappointment overall, but IMO, he deserves more love than he gets.
  12. Kimmi
    I'm hoping for at least 4-4, but I would not be overly disappointed with 3-5.

    It's hard to stomach when your team is going through one of these bad stretches, but it happens to all teams. A team will look like toast, then the next thing you know, they've won 8 of 10 and they're right back in it. Or vice versa. The Red Sox are one of the best teams in the AL. They are in control of their own wildcard berth. They just have to avoid the late season collapse.

    I am nervous about our upcoming series against the Yankees and the Orioles. Despite supposedly being past the brutal part of our schedule, it's not getting any easier. You can bet the Yankees will be looking for redemption. A 4-4 road trip will be a mild success.
  15. Kimmi
    Clearly, May is the best starter on our team! But seriously, if May can go 5+ innings a start and keep the offense in the game, then he's a good pick up. Maybe he'll surprise us and be better than expected.
  16. Kimmi
    I'm not saying that Devers is the sole reason for the Giants' woes. Far from it. However, when you add an impact bat the caliber of Devers' bat, you'd expect the overall offense to improve. I mean, that's why the Giants traded for him, isn't it? It's interesting that their overall offense has gotten worse. I know that you would disagree, but I have to wonder if the rest of the team was a little wary of acquiring Devers because of the controversy that preceded him. It might be nothing, but it might be something.
  17. Kimmi
    My feelings exactly. He's worth a shot. There is really no risk involved in this move. Plus, he's a veteran presence. It can't hurt.
  18. Kimmi
    Giants runs scored per game pre-trade: 4.3 Giants runs scored per game post-trade: 3.8 Devers has not been the offensive boost to the team that the Giants were hoping for.
  19. Kimmi
    I love Anthony in the lead off position. It's all about getting on base, which he does very well. The fact that he has handled that role so well at 21, in the midst of a playoff chase, is beyond impressive
  20. Kimmi
    For some reason, Yoshida does not get the love that he deserves.
  21. Kimmi
    The verdict is still out on May, but 6 IP with only giving up 2 runs is a start I'll take any day from a back end rotation guy. Too bad our offense looked so futile for most of the game.
  22. Kimmi
    Fair enough. I do not disagree with any of this.
  23. Kimmi
    I'm fine with that. That's probably what the Red Sox are thinking.
  24. Kimmi
    100% We just need him to get healthy and stay healthy.
  25. Kimmi
    I'd take a flier on Lowe because I think there's some potential for some offensive upside with him. He'd probably also provide better defense than Campbell, though I'm not sure how Campbell's defense is coming along. The risk is roughly $2.5M, which is really peanuts in payroll terms. I'm not sure the FO would agree with that.
