Can we string together something- just freakin' once?!?!?!
-
Big K for ERod.
-
How long can this offense keep coming up short?
-
Love these guys who "put the ball in play."
-
I sometimes get the feeling we are just one big hit away from this offense erupting. But, it never comes.
-
Here we go again...
-
True, but we've had some bad luck, of late, too.
-
Wow, Bobby Dee caught a foul pop up!
-
I wasn't defending him. I guess you missed that part.
-
He got the guy to swing at a ball outside the strike zone and hit it on the ground. We smack line shots right at people. Snake bitten.
-
Not defending ERod, but... He might be the most dangerous Nats hitter, so being careful does make a little sense.
-
We are snake bitten.
-
Too funny!
-
He's the only guy hitting the ball hard almost every game, of late.
-
Yanks down 2-1 in 3rd. Jays up 2-0 in 4th. For us... More line outs with men on base.
-
BA is so passe. Why wouldn't BAbip be as well?
-
The pitchers... BOS (ERod) @ WSH (Rogers LHP) TBR (McClanahan) @ NYY (Cortes) BAL (Eshelman) @ TOR (Matz) LAA (Suarez) @ SEA (Gonzalez)
-
I'd like to see OPSbip numbers, but 25 to 35 points in BA over the league average might make more of a difference than 3-4 places, but who knows? It might move us up from 15th in earned runs allowed to possibly top 10.
-
In Erod's defense, he's gone 6+ Innings in 6 of his last 17 starts. While that might not sound great, and it isn't, my guess is it's pretty much 2nd best on the team. He also has a 3.87 ERA, 3.07 FIP in his last 16 starts, despite a .351 BAbip.
-
Agreed. My point was making a case for Iggy/Arroyo vs Renfroe as MAYBE being more worthy of debate than Schwarber vs Verdugo vs a lefty.
-
Exposed for all to see. So much for Telling only "truths."
-
Indeed, and if you believe BAbip is not related to defense, and only unearned runs matter, one can view the defense's affect as such: We are 19th in runs allowed. We are 15th in earned runs allowed. That's significant but would not outweigh being 4th in runs scored.

...And I never said I wanted us to take the option. The option is $10M, but the buy out is $1.5M, so the difference is $8.5M for one year- about what we are paying Barnes times 3 years. I am not for giving him the option. I'm pretty sure we can do better. I've also been given crap for saying the ERod QO issue might be a closer call than many think it is. It's a one year deal with the chance for a nice sandwich pick, if he turns it down. At this time, I do not have a strong opinion of ERod's return. He's been a winner for years, and had serious COVID-related health issues, last year that could have life-long implications. That can be viewed as a negative, but it could also be viewed as part of the reason he sucked over his first 14 starts. One positive thing to look at is his last 16 starts: 3.87 ERA (.716 OPS Against despite the .351 BAbip) 3.07 FIP I suspect this will be hotly debated, this fall, and how he does tonight will weigh heavy on some poster's opinions.

We will not pitch Eovaldi on Saturday, unless it's an elimination game. If the M's win tonight, then Saturday could be an elimination game, so I guess it could happen. Tonight's games are going to decide a lot about Saturday. It could be Cora's biggest call of the year.

Versus a lefty, I think it makes sense. Kike at 2B not CF might not, but that would come down to: Renfroe v Iggy or Arroyo
