    These walks bug the hell out of me.
  2. moonslav59
    You jinxed them. The pitching slump begins, today, too.

    RBIs per Men on Base per PA: .326 Story .292 Devers .244 Verdugo .221 JBJ .213 Kike .192 Bogey .178 JD RISP .493 Story .387 Devers .357 Vaz .350 JBJ .329 Bogey .328 Kike .301 Verdugo .260 JD .194 Dalbec Before today.

    Vaz is officially out of my doghouse.
  5. moonslav59
    Seabold got his ERA down to 1.95. His OPS Against was below .500 before the game, and I'm guessing, it still is: 6 IP 6 H (2B & 3B) 1 BB 4 K Kelly tried to b low the game, but Ort saved his ass.
  6. moonslav59
    If they do get up again, we'll be behind, or t best, tied with bases loaded and 2 outs.
  7. moonslav59
    Schreiber has been a major find by Bloom. We got this guy off waivers!
  8. moonslav59
    On the surface, this makes sense, and certainly they could have had more chances for RBIs had Kike done better getting on base, but what about Devers? These are the team leaders in PAs with Men on Base and RISP... Men on Base 146 Bogey 28 rbi 131 Verdugo 32 129 JD 23 129 Story 42 120 Devers 35 95 JBJ 21 94 Kike 20 Kike & JBJ both get more rbi per PA w Men on Base than JD & Bogey. RISP 83 Verdugo 25 rbi 82 Bogey 27 77 JD 20 75 Story 37 62 Devers 24 62 Dalbec 12 (hideous!) 61 Kike 20 60 JBJ 21 56 Vaz 20 Again, those last 3 guys do better per PA than most of the others.

    I do recall a lot of bitching about Kike leading off, last June, too. Then silence over the remainder of the season, and deafening silence during the playoffs. Maybe history repeats itself. Maybe not.
  10. moonslav59
    I've been down on Vaz, a lot, over his career, especially concerning his inability to "whisper to pitchers," but his offense, many times outweighed or evened up that, IMO. He dipped a bit for a couple seasons, but it's nice to see his bat coming alive over the last 4-6 weeks.
  11. moonslav59
    Refsnyder must stay on the 26. No question- now.
  12. moonslav59
    This is the best Yankee run since when?
  13. moonslav59
    Okay! There's the runner moved over to third with less than 2 outs. Let's see if we can score, "the Old Fashioned Way!"
  14. moonslav59
    He seems to go through some funks, but he rights the ship, quickly. Those 4 walks were to the first 10 batters, and he hasn't walked anyone, since. 10 Ks out of 21 outs is damn good. With Eovaldi on the shelf and Wacha seemingly hitting a little rough patch, he's pitching like our ace, now. (I hope I didn't jinx him- like 700's reverse jinx.)
  15. moonslav59
    Pivetta has really settled down, after walking 4 of the first 10 batters. Of course, all of the 4 hits came after the 3rd inning, but it's good he didn't mix them together. He's at 108 pitches, but he just K'd the side. Does he start the 8th? 7 IP 4 H 1 ER 4 BB 10 K
  16. moonslav59
    It's amazing he's made it this long in MLB and put up some decent numbers without being able to hit hard throwers.
  17. moonslav59
    The big loss, yesterday, allowed us to save our best RP'ers for today. Pivetta is at 94 pitches, and might not pitch another inning after the 7th, assuming he makes it through the inning.
  18. moonslav59
    Not so much since May 8th. 2 May 8 6 & 3 May 10 2 May 11 4 & 2 May 13 4 & 3 May 14 None May 15 3 May 16 2 May 17 2 & 2 May 18 2, 2, 2, 3 & 3 May 19 4 & 3 May 20 4 May 21 5 May 22 (10th inning) 2 May 24th None May 25 3,3,2,5,2 May 26 4 & 2 May 27 3 May 28 None May 28 2, 2, 5 May 29 None May 30 (shut out) None May 31 4 & 3 JUN1 2, 2, 3 JUN3 3 & 4 JUN4 3 JUN5 None JUN6 (1-0 win) 3 JUN7 None JUN8 (1-0 win) None JUN9 2,2,2 JUN 11 2 JUN 12 3 JUN 14 2,2,2,2 JUN 15 2 JUN 16 2 & 3 JUN 17 None JUN 18 4 since June 6th is a lot, and I wish the 2's were a bit more crooked or jagged, but our offense has been more consistent since early May. We did win 2 of those 4 games, too.
  19. moonslav59
    Agreed, and I'm not trying to minimize putting the ball in play and advancing runners- the good ole fashion way. But, I often wonder, if high K players hurt the team, in this area, as much as maybe some might think it does, especially when compared to high DP players.
  20. moonslav59
    BAL up on TBR 2-1 in the 5th. NYY up on TOR 4-2 in the 5th. CLE plays at LAD, later this afternoon. A win, today might gain us some ground.
  21. moonslav59
    He's got more rbis than his numbers project. (JD & Bogey- less.)
  22. moonslav59
    Had he put the ball in play, maybe it would have been a DP or FC. Not many balls in play advance runners. Yes, that time might have led to a run. I'm glad we scored him, anyway, which is another factor in determining just how much (or little) putting the ball in play matters over striking out. Has anyone ever done a study on this?.
  23. moonslav59
    But maybe our third best hitter eats theirs. BTW, JD's OPS is among the league leaders, and Bogey is not that far behind.
  24. moonslav59
    Not living near Boston, anymore, and being out of the talk show loops, may I ask if Story Land is within the confines of Red Sox Nation, in your humble opinion?
  25. moonslav59
    I'm not sure the fewest amount of negative WARs is the best metric, either. He pitched in 10 MLB seasons before 2022 (only 2 under 25 IP) and he only had a fWAR above 1.o, once- back in 2014. Since then, we've seen: 0.5, 0.8, 0.0, 0.6, 1.0, 0.5, -0.1. For what he was paid, that's not awful, but before the Story signing, Bloom had only given 2 year deals to Kike and Sawamura. I just don't see what this guy has done to get Bloom to go 2. His bWAR has been very different from fWAR and that 2014 season was a negative using bWAR. Starting in 2012... -0.4 0.6 -0.2 -0.3 0.9 1.1 0.4 0.2 0.3 0.0 1.4 in 2020's 20 IP season 0.4 He's +0.1 in 2022, according to bWAR. Enough to convince me fWAR is better.
