    Nobody? Almost every year there was pining.

    I saw your post. The choice might have been made for both reasons, but I think PH'ing was primary. Here are the OPS Against numbers for our RP'er listed in order of most Relief IP: Vaz/ Plawecki Pitcher (over 38 PAs, unless noted) .590/.909 Whitlock .667/.765 Ottavino .773/.902 Sawamura (Plawecki just 18 PAs) .583/ .828Barnes .674/.640 Taylor .742/.577DHern .632/.596 Valdez 1.002/.675 Andriese .669/.828 Robles (Plawecki just 30 PAs) .599/.902 Rios (Plawecki just 17 PAs) .850/.674 Richards (most as SP'er)

    Sale never hit 100 until 2018, and even then, it wasn't all that often. I wonder if throwing so much harder in 2018 was what caused the need for TJS. Sale was a great pitcher from 204 to 2017. In those years, he averaged about 91-96 with 2017 being more like 94-97. His velocity, so far this year is very close to 2014-2017. One might expect it can gain some more by next season. See the charts for yourself.. . https://www.fangraphs.com/players/chris-sale/10603/graphs?pitchgraphs=true&statArr=&legend=1&split=base&time=daily&start=2014&end=2021&rtype=mult&gt1=15&dStatArray=FA&ymin=&ymax=

    Maybe the best chance to win one game would be an Eovaldi start and 6 IP and with Sale going 3 innings in relief.

    1. It's not "much better," but yes, better. 2. It might not have been the main reason Vaz was brought in. 3. We PH for Plawecki.
  6. moonslav59
    Like Masterson was?
  7. moonslav59
    You are fixated on downplaying the strength of the ALE. Yes, we lucked out by playing the NLE not the NLW, and we did poorly vs the ALW, but if we end up with four 90 win teams, I think that will speak for itself.
  8. moonslav59
    They pinch hit Shaw for Plawecki, and that was likely the main reason Vaz came in after Eovaldi left.

    Part of me would like to see as balanced a schedule as can be made with no divisions and the top 8 teams making the playoffs. Another part would like to see both leagues merged into regionalized divisions where new rivalries would be formed and travel time cut down, but the schedules would be unbalanced. That is where wild card slots make sense. Maybe make 5 divisions of 6 teams with 3 WC teams (I'd be okay with the 3rd WC slot being filled with a play-in game by #8 & #9.) You could go 6 divisions of 5 teams with 2 WCs. Maybe disband 2 teams and go with 4 divisions of 7 teams or 7 divisions of 4 teams with just 1 WC or a WC play-in game.

    At least you appear to have enough good long men to relieve Kluber, early.

    SEA gains or loses a half game, tonight, based on what the other 3 teams do, then it's 3 games left for everyone. 90-68 NYY WC1+1 89-69 BOS WC1 -1/ WC2 +0.5 89-70 SEA WC1-1.5/ WC2 -0.5 88-70 TOR WC1 -2/ WC2 -1.0 Tonight: NYY (Kluber) @ TOR (R Ray) BOS (Pivetta) @ BAL (Wells LHP) (SEA off) Friday: BOS (ERod) @ WSH (Rogers LHP) TBR (TBD) @ NYY (Cortes) BAL (TBD) @ TOR (TBD) LAA (TBD) @ SEA (Gonzalez) Saturday: TBR @ NYY BAL (Means) @ TOR BOS (???) @ WSH (J Gray RHP) LAA @ SEA (Flexen) Sunday: BOS (Sale?) @ WSH TBR @ NYY BAL (Zimmerman) @ TOR LAA @ SEA (Anderson)

    You’re funny.
  13. moonslav59
    Kluber vs Ray. Could be tied after tomorrow night.
  14. moonslav59
    To take away almost all of the unbalanced schedule aspects, they could just play 5 games against 12 teams and 6 vs 17
  15. moonslav59
    Learn the difference.
  16. moonslav59
    SEA (Gilbert) vs Oak (Montas) tonight Tomorrow BOS (Pivetta) @ Bal (Wells) NYY (Kluber) @ Tor (RRay) M’s off
  17. moonslav59
    4 teams within 2 games. 4 to go for each team, including the M’s game tonight. (They are off tomorrow.)
  18. moonslav59
    Just win, baby! One at a time.
  19. moonslav59
    Don’t over analyze.
  20. moonslav59
    Jays win. Bunching up again.
  21. moonslav59
    Bloom just might have gotten another call right, but I don’t want to over analyze.
  22. moonslav59
    Bichette with a solo blast. Jays up 1 in 9th. Yanks are such chokers.
  23. moonslav59
    wow. Who is this Matt Barnes guy?
  24. moonslav59
    My gut said Schwarber. Then I crunched the numbers. All I can say is, this is not the team we were yesterday.
  25. moonslav59
    In all honesty, I called this solo blast by Renfroe to my wife. So non clutch!
