    He’s been streaky before. He’s the least of my worries, except for maybe his D.

    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.
  3. moonslav59
    Maybe signing a SS and trading Bogey for pitching solves that problem.

    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?
  5. 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.

    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!

    Lovin Bobby Dee’s approach. He’s expecting sliders.
  9. moonslav59
    Usually, that’s us!
  10. moonslav59
    yes,
  11. moonslav59
    Need 3+ runs with the Ms starting the inning with a man on base
  12. 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.
  13. moonslav59
    the only one base at a time rule again
  14. moonslav59
    Digo is showing life. He lined out last time with men on and now the big hit!
  15. 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!)
  18. 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!
  20. moonslav59
    I get that, but it's 50-50 the first and second time. As I've suggested all along, next year, we should flip Whitlock and Houck's roles.
  21. moonslav59
    Rays cut the lead to 6-3.
  22. moonslav59
    As a 9 batter RP'er, his value would be immense!
  23. moonslav59
    Time for a solo blast or two.
  24. moonslav59
    I don't disagree, but why is 1 or 2 okay for RP'ers? Hell, Mo threw just one pitch- often with very little variation in location or speed.
  25. moonslav59
    True, but it seems like errors get under our pitchers' skin.
