  1. I didn't take it any other way.
  2. Pitcher A: 2.08 (.604 OPS against) Last 5 starts Pitcher B 2.89 (.505 OPS against) Last 5 starts Pitcher C 2.27 (.717 OPS against) Last 5 starts Pretty amazing having 3 SP'ers doing this well, right? A: Perez B: Pivetta C: Richards
  3. Your numbers are wrong. You are converting percent of balls in play to percent of all ABs. If all of the 5% in crease in LDs fell for hit, which I'm sure is not likely, that's a .050 increase in his BAbip. I'm not saying it had that affect- only that it might explain some of the increase, and that it likely is not all "bad luck" that should even out eventually. Maybe it's only a .025 affect and the rest is bad luck. Maybe it's just crappy defense by short-ranged defenders.
  4. I never knew this. I don't see out 40 man roster as being squeezed, despite 10 guys not being available for ML use, right now. I would not start the clock on Mata.
  5. Not a savior, but a jump from .450 to .700 or .750 is as good as a jump from .750 to 1.000. We have other areas that can be improved upon, too, but Cordero looks like the easiest one to fix, in system. It's no sure bet Santana does better, and we'll never know if Cordero was about to get red hot, but demoting him, but at this point, it's worth a shot.
  6. Our pitching splits indicate we've done pretty well over the last 28 days, which excludes 6 games vs the O's in early April. Also, Richards, Pivetta and Perez have been awesome in their last 5 starts.
  7. I like WAR a lot, but I don't think it does justice to RP'ers. I prefer OPS Against. I used to like WHIP, but it counts a HR the same as a bloop single.
  8. I think most people wanted a longer sample size with Kluber, before accepting the Yanks had two sure-fire aces. Last night might have changed all that. Two aces and a knock out pen is a great thing to have, and they have been what has kept you close while your offense and 2-5 starters have struggled, sometimes mightily. I have to think Cashman gets a starter at the deadline, but I've been thinking than for several years, and he seems to be restricted in some ways. You guys do have a few starters in your system you can hand the ball to, and see if they can do better. Taillon might just need more time to regain what he once had. German & Montgomery still hold some promise, but it's getting to the point of the season where you start asking, "Is it time to try someone new?"
  9. Good thing we didn't trade Beni for him and a couple PTBNLs.
  10. We don't really need CF, since Kike & Verdugo both play it well enough. We need a Renfroe platoon, and Marwin is playing himself out of that role.
  11. It's sure nice to see baseball being relevant, again.
  12. How do the Rays always know just when to trade a pitcher right before they suck?
  13. Lack of pitching should be their downfall. They may pick someone up at the deadline. They seem to be more willing to spend than most teams.
  14. 1 walk away from a perfect game.
  15. This is crazy.
  16. Cordero hitting the ball hard, tonight.
  17. It's over: Kluber gets the no-no. Yanks win 2-0. 1 BB from a perfect game. (Tell, Shirley I'm not jokin'.)
  18. Dahl lines out to RF for 2nd out in 9th. Kluber vs Calhoun for a no-no.
  19. Kluber coming out in the bottom of the 9th with a no-no vs the Rangers. 1 BB
  20. Kluber tonight- 9th inning pending.... 8 IP 0 H 1 BB 9 K
  21. Actually, I don't, but as long as you don't mean it, we're all good.
  22. Stunningly amazing! RIGHT!
  23. MLB Pen Leaders WAR 2.9 NYY 2.4 NYM 1.8 BOS 11. TOR 1.2 xFIP 5. BOS 3.74 (92 xFIP-) 15. TOR 4.18 (102 xFIP-) SIERA 5. BOS 3.49 15. TOR 3.83
