Are you going to flip the script, this spring on Wong v McGuire? LOL!
-
I think so, but durability is not really a teachable thing, in many ways. I suppose better workout regimes and prep can improve the odds of not getting hurt, but I feel like the risk is still high on these two. Whitlock did change is winter regime, and Houck has started 42 games in his career, but I would not bet the over on 150 IP for either of them. (I hope they both prove me wrong!) -
I'm not surprised, either, and I get why they try to protect QBs, but the game is not the same.
-
I'm wondering if Wong is banged up, somehow. Usually Cora likes to match pitchers with specific catchers, so let's see what happens the second time through the rotation. I would not mind seeing 81 GS, each. I think mixing and matching catchers has some advantages, but probably not enough to override the comfort zone specific ones can create. A sort or lefty-righty platoon might work, but we have seen reverse splits with our catchers.
-
Nice catch, thanks. 37K: 1 BB... WOW! (We saw some very nice ST'ing K:BB ratios, too.) Note: our rotation has 4 homegrown SP'ers in it. (Pivetta came up w PHI and had 71 GS with them before the trade by Bloom.)
-
It's turned into flag FB for the QB. FB is not for pansies.
-
Yes, indeed. They could hardly stay healthy when asked to pitch 60-100 innings. Now, we want 150 min. (Maybe 140)

Keep the streak going, vegas! -
Only 7 ERs allowed in 5 games by our staff!
-
That was a nice win to watch!
-
Watching Yoshida swing is painful.
-
Chase is lounging his way through this game.
-
Crawford was the only SP'er who let up the one BB. Bello was the only SP'er who let up 2 ERs. Small sample size, but very impressive.
-
Only 4 teams have started the season with each SP'er going 5 IP or more, while walking no more than 1 batter and allowing no more than 2 ERs.
-
One time through the rotation, and one can only marvel at the performances and poise. IP H ER BB K 6.0 3 0 0 10 Houck 6.0 3 0 1 7 Crawford 6.0 3 1 0 10 Pivetta 5.0 3 1 0 8 Whitlock 5.0 5 2 0 2 B Bello Total: 28 IP 17 H 4 ER (1.29 ERA) 1 BB 37 K

It does seem that simple, but this is a complicated game.
-
I would not. The season is early. I would not risk overdoing it. He's had some long waits on the bench between innings. Keep his confidence high. Let's see how bad Chase Anderson is.
-
McGuire is the only batter in the line-up with no run scored or batted in.
-
LOL, yes, but he was not entirely alone. One thing to remember,, there were so many unmade plays that were not called errors, last season.
-
Reminds me of a certain team, last year.
-
Basketball: How about changing a foul lets the team shoot 1 FT and get the ball back? Soccer: make the goal bigger by 2 feet up and 2 feet on both sides. Football: stop treating the QB like a china doll.
-
Nice to see us benefit from bad defense.
-
Line-UP 1. L Duran LF 2. L Devers 3B 3. R Story SS 4. L Casas 1B 5. R O'Neill RF 6. L Yoshida DH 7. L Valdez 2B 8. R Rafaela CF 9. L McGuire C I like this line-up. RHP Houck vs RHP Boyle
-
We are first in slider %, 5th in cutters, 25th in curveballs and 7th in change ups
-
We do still throw fastballs- just not many 4 seamers. It not like we stopped throwing FBs. We are last in FB% at 27%, which is 8% less than the next team.
