    Pen Numbers, so far: 7.1 IP 4 H 1 ER (+2 ghost runs) 1.23 ERA 3 BB 9 K 0.955 WHIP .160 BA Against .267 OBP Against .320 SLG Against .587 OPS Against It's just 2 games, but the pen has not been even close to the main reason for either loss. Our bats have come alive, early, then poof. Our starters have given up the long ball, too often. Let's hope Houck can right the ship.

    Another tough loss. I'm glad we have 160 games left.
  3. moonslav59
    This.
  4. moonslav59
    I agree, but the pen is not very trustworthy, either.
  5. moonslav59
    I'm getting the feeling our farm is going to jump in the rankings, this year. We are much deeper, now and have some real talent at the to, too.
  6. moonslav59
    You crack me up. By the way, we all know Bobby Dee has some sizable split differentials, but are these numbers all that bad for any players first 331 PAs vs righties in his MLB career? .296 OBP .463 SLG .759 OPS 19 HRs 48 RBI Project that to 662 PAs: .218 38 96 Dave Kingman stuff, here! vs LHPs per 660 PAs .279 42 138 (.898 OPS) Yes, the 138 RBIs is correct- the man gets hits with men on base. Too bad that is not a repeatable skill. (Cue hysteria)
  7. moonslav59
    Ok, but you said he was getting mauled and he'd only let up 1 run by then. "About to get mauled" might have been better wording.
  8. moonslav59
    I never said the pen did well. I just said blaming them more than Eovaldi was not right, and Nate did not have to start 2 of his 5 innings with a man on 2nd.
  9. moonslav59
    But you were critical we went with him for more than one inning, yesterday.
  10. moonslav59
    Still, 5 IP+ and 1 ER beats the hell out of 5 IP and 3 ERs.
  11. moonslav59
    Our pen was supposed to suck, last year, too, and we used 33 pitchers. This year, we have more "long guys," so I'm sticking with the under. This 28 man roster may create more chances in April, though.
  12. moonslav59
    Yes, and how many runs would Eovaldi have given up had he started every inning with a man on 2nd?
  13. moonslav59
    Santana was not paid much. Marwin just 3 yrs/1. Those deals don't baffle me as much as 2 x $4M. On Marwin, what baffled me was how long Cora stuck with him. There was a time in May or June where he was still something like 7th or 8th in PAs on the team!
  14. moonslav59
    I'll take the under on 35- not counting everyday players doing mop-up duty here and there.
  15. moonslav59
    Not really. Nate gave up 2 HRs and did worse than the pen. Not by much, but he did.
  16. moonslav59
    No doubt, but if blame has to be given- not that it has to be given- to one aspect of our pitching in game 1: starter vs pen, it was more Eovaldi's fault we lost.
  17. moonslav59
    Nick the Stopper.
  18. moonslav59
    That's more than Sawamura and others. It's a better deal than Hill got. It's total more money than Wacha. Until the Story deal, it was the biggest 2 year deal after Kike.
  19. moonslav59
    I was baffled on day one. There is nothing spectacular about him or even really anything clearly positive about his career, except a decent year here and there- mostly long ago.
  20. moonslav59
    Okay, but you wrote he got "mauled" after letting up one run in a shaky 1+ innings.
  21. moonslav59
    Portland won 11-5. Hamilton 4 for 5 with 7 RBI from the lead-off slot. (2 HRs and a triple) Maybe Bloom was right! JBJ who? Koss, Reed and Cottam with 2 hits, each. Potts with 2 BB and 2 runs scored Murphy 4 IP, 1 ER (2H, 3 BB, 7K)

    Mauled? 4 IP 3 H 1 BB 1 ER 3 Ks Franchy has a granny, and Casas is now 2 for 2

    The damn man on second to start the inning rule makes it very hard to judge the effectiveness of an extra inning RP'er's outing. They don't count it as an earned run, but it kinda feels like one. Officially, today our starter and pen did this: SP: 5 IP 3 ER 5 Hits & 1 BB & 1 HBP & 2 HR RP: 6 IP 1 ER (plus the 2 " non earned" runs allowed in extras.) 5 hits & 3 BB & 1 HBP & 1 HR Just looking at the numbers, the pen did slightly better than Eovaldi.
  25. moonslav59
    When we signed him, I was wondering why this guy got the 2 year deal- something quite rare with Bloom.
