    Since when is K% more important than OPS, WAR or other values? (That's not to say Bogey does not have great values, there, but why use K's?) WAR 21 5.1 Correa 4.9 Bogey 3.6 Baez 3.3 Story 3.1 Swanson 20-21 7.4 Semien 6.8 Bogey 6.0 Correa 5.7 Story 4.9 Swanson 3.6 Baez (HAD A BAD 2020) OPS 21 .875 Bogey .845 Correa .826 Baez .801 Story .774 Swanson 18-21 .898 Bogey .882 Story .823 Baez .811 Semien .808 Correa

    Many might want that, but only 3 will get one. Many might not want to commit to $25-33M x 4-7 years, but can afford $20M x 1. (They could even trade him again at the deadline.) You really must not think much of Bogey's value to think nobody would trade for him.

    So, Schwarber in RF, Renfroe in CF and JD in LF.? Maybe Schwarber at 1B vs a lefty?

    Another lucky inning by the Yanks. 3-2 Yanks
  5. moonslav59
    I just posted the same thing on the game thread!
  6. moonslav59
    BAL just took the lead on a 2 run HR vs the Yanks in the 8th!

    He’s been streaky before. He’s the least of my worries, except for maybe his D.
  8. moonslav59
    Story is significantly better on defense by every measure and is loved by The Fielding Bible. I’ll take their word for it. Baez may be the best choice.
  9. moonslav59
    Maybe signing a SS and trading Bogey for pitching solves that problem.
  10. moonslav59
    And now, suddenly, some of the players Bloom picked up at the deadline and afterwards are playing much better, now. Schwarber was injured, started strongly then slumped until the big hit, today, but what about Robles and Davis, of late? Iggy? Shaw?
  11. moonslav59
    The two comps are meaningful because at least the parks played in were the same. The pitching was different, as were the batters, but if LD and hard hit % mean anything, then one can assume the defense is the main reason for the wide BAbip variance.
  12. moonslav59
    That’s how I took Max’s well presented point. The assumption has been that Bloom neglected the defense, but we all know he had limited resources and a team with many high need areas to address, including defense. He tried to balance this with that and ended up with a competitive and exciting team to watch, that still has some weak areas... one being defense. The balancing has worked out, though.

    no vazillating on that one!
  14. moonslav59
    Lovin Bobby Dee’s approach. He’s expecting sliders.
  15. moonslav59
    Usually, that’s us!
  16. moonslav59
    yes,
  17. moonslav59
    Need 3+ runs with the Ms starting the inning with a man on base
  18. moonslav59
    Instead of paying Schwarber and Bogey, we could sign a plus O- plus D SS like Baez, Story or Correa, trade Bogey or move him to 2B and then spend anything left on pitching and more pitching.
  19. moonslav59
    the only one base at a time rule again
  20. moonslav59
    Digo is showing life. He lined out last time with men on and now the big hit!
  21. moonslav59
    Get more than one!!!!

    Get him of the chew. Work him to death on defense. (If only we had the right to force him to do it!)
  24. moonslav59
    Let’s compare our offense to our defense: On offense, we are first in BAbip at .307 but it’s very close. We earned much of that by also being 6th in hard hit % at 33.3% (0.2 from 3rd) and 10th in LD% at 21.1% (0.1 from 8th best). Now, the defense: We are 9th in lowest Hard hit ball % (just o.8 from the best) and are 14th in lowest LD% at 20.9%, yet the BAbip against blows others away at .323!!!

    The batter knew the pitch. Saw it over and over. Knew the location. Knew the speed. Still could not hit the damn pitch!
