    Since all our catchers have virtually no experience with our staff, nobody should have an advantage when compared to each other. One would expect McGuire to do better with the same pitchers Alfaro would catch, and since Wong's defensive and CERA-related skills are largely unknown, it's hard to no what to expect on that comp. I'm not sure will have a firm idea on how good McGuire or Wong are in this area, even by season's end.

    I've heard he is supposed to be very good on D, but it is something very hard to quantify. His MLB sample sizes are not all that large. He has never started more than 70 games as a catcher in a MLB setting. One major area of concern, to me, is how he relates with the staff, and what his abilities are at bringing out the best from pitchers on the staff, especially those he catches the most. Since Wong and Alfaro are also new to the staff, it may be hard to evaluate this area, until an adjustment period is reached and sample sizes are large enough to meaningfully evaluate.

    Good observation and something that needs to be tweaked. It also makes me think a runner has an advantage when there is 0.5 to 1 second left, I suppose, although the pitcher can still throw to 1B at that last millisecond, too.

    Whitlock not on IL, but starts today for WOO. Is Bello ready to pitch live games?
  5. moonslav59
    I see 4.32 over his last 23 GS'd in 2022. It was 4.18 over his last 9. The last 16 of his 31 starts? 4.70 with a 3.54 FIP. (Not far from Nestor's 3.34 FIP over his last 16 GS'd.)

    Now our true ace and #2, #3... will be facing other team's lesser pitchers.
  7. moonslav59
    I'd rather we be 1-0.
  8. moonslav59
    How can this team ever lose again? We have 6 guys with an OPS at 1.000 or better!!! 1.200 Verdugo 1.100 Turner & Yoshida 1.000 Devers, McGuire & Tapia (3 guys not on this list had 5 of the team's 8 RBIs, today.)
  9. moonslav59
    We proved we can come close!
  10. moonslav59
    Parity is here... 30 Teams 11 teams within 4 wins or losses of .500 14 teams with 6 15 within 8 5-6 games left to the season: 5 teams have clinched a playoff slot 4 teams are eliminated and 26 games are in it or within range. Only 1 team is one loss from elimination.
  11. moonslav59
    Tough loss. Let's make it 1 and 1, Saturday.
  12. moonslav59
    Without hope but not hopeless.
  13. moonslav59
    True, but one has to think it can't be enough time to determine, if he's worth keeping a 40 man slot open, once the time is up, right?
  14. moonslav59
    It was great that we saved our best RP'ers for tomorrow's day off.
  15. moonslav59
    I predict we will not win 162 games.
  16. moonslav59
    A different point, but way more meritorious.
  17. moonslav59
    At the risk of being called a cherry-picker, how about career? 46 OF'ers have 2400+ innings in CF since Kike entered MLB. He ranks... 10th in UZR/150 at 7.8 (JBJ is 11th at 6.6) top 25% 18th in DRS with 21 top 40% DRS/innings: I figure he passes 17. Straw, 12. Pillar, & 13. L Martin to place 15th (Top 1/3)
  18. moonslav59
    Only if he falls in a forest (and hurts himself.)
  19. moonslav59
    That DP with bases jacked did NOT help. (Same ole-same ole.)
  20. moonslav59
    Where is he ranked 18th?
  21. moonslav59
    But, we are the cherry-pickers.
  22. moonslav59
    DRS are largely a function of innings played, so having 4 DRS in just 669 innings is way better than 18th. I'm not sure where he is ranked 18th in. He's 3rd on fangraph's standard D page and 13th in fangraph's advanced page, again where total innings help or hurt. 12th in DRA with 4 14th UZR/150 2021-2022 4th in DRS (18) 6th standard 5th Advanced 7th UZR/150 If you figure DRS/innings, he'd have ranked 2nd in MLB out of all 31 CF'ers with 900+ innings in CF from 2021 to 2022.
  23. moonslav59
    I'm thinking he should end up around the middle of the pack among SP'ers by the end of the season. The problem is, we likely need him to be a solid #2 or 3, and he's more like a 3/4.
  24. moonslav59
    So, is this how the rotation might be stacked up? 3/30 Kluber v BAL 3/31 Off 4/1 Sale v BAL 4/2 Houck v BAL 4/3 Crawford v PIT 4/4 Pivetta v PIT 4/5 Kluber v PIT (+1 day of rest 4/6 Whitlock? (starts w Woo 3/31) or Sale? @DET 4/7 Off 4/8 Whitlock or Sale (+2 days of rest) or Crawford @ DET 4/9 Crawford (+1) or Houck (+ 2 days of rest) @ DET Game scheduled everyday until April 27th.

    When the sound died, that was the best audio of the day.
