OAK back up 10-8 in the 9th, but TOR has a man on. NYY tied in the 9th with the lowly O's.

Yup

Spacing out, there.

My thoughts, exactly. Ottavino for the ninth and Whitlock for tomorrow.

Someone other than the tres amigos?

Arauz con Leche

That's what I'm talkin' about!!!!

Time for Hunter to put this game away!

Who still wishes we got Rizzo not some "stiff on the IL?"

Schwardbles

Yes! We're up to two great long men and a good short man. Who else can we add to the list?

The mighty Jonathan!

When it happens this often, 700 says it "on the coaching." Someone should have told Nate to run fats the whole way.

I don't disagree, but CLE is not really all that bad.

And, no the D rears its ugly head, again! Another "non error," error.

They could say the same about Arauz.

Damn!

Exactly. I'd love to see Eovaldi go 8 or even 9, tonight.

Our farm is really taking shape. It's fun to get to see them play in September, for once.

Are we ever going to hit a HR with men on base?

UZR/150 uses trained and calibrated "experts" who judge what balls are in the zone and should be caught. I'm not sure, if they use launch angles and distance needed to get to the ball. According to fangraphs, Duran made 34 of 35 plays on BIZ (Balls in Zone). They also factor in plays made out of the zone by great defenders. I'm looking at fangraphs, now. Duran has made 12 OOZ (Out of Zone) plays in 215 innings, but I don't know how many OOZ plays he had a chance to make. I can see that his OOZ plays to Innings is very low compared to many others, but it's not the worst. They have Duran dead last out of 60 CF'ers with 200+ innings in CF at -25.6 UZR/150, They gave him a -0.6 ARM, which is very bad for the amount of innings. -2.3 Range and +0.1 Errors. Michael Taylor made 100 OOZ plays in 1021 innings. Buxton 20 in 274 innings. (He made 69-71 BIZ plays) Link: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=cf&stats=fld&lg=all&qual=200&type=3&season=2021&month=0&season1=2021&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=&enddate= DRS uses a different method and has him at -6 runs. Maybe a lot is due to his arm not just range limitations.

Got that right. Then, when nobody expected it, poof, he was gone.

I always thought Seabold was going to be part of the ML team in 2021. The injury set him back, but if he's recovered and is deemed "ready," he seems like as good a pick as anyone else, if not better.

I thought he was what this was all about. Do you think it would hurt him to call him up? (Not the team- you obviously think that.)

I projected Potts and Rosario as rule 5 or FA addition DFA top candidates.
