Kluber coming out in the bottom of the 9th with a no-no vs the Rangers. 1 BB

Actually, I don't, but as long as you don't mean it, we're all good.

Basing this on 1 game and another not done yet?

Vazzadocious!

Shoulda kept him in the long relief role, where he starts an inning fresh.

Before tonight's game... Pitcher A: 2.08 (.604 OPS against) Last 5 starts Pitcher B 2.89 (.505 OPS against) Last 5 starts Pitcher C 3.03 (.704 OPS against) Last 5 starts but 2.16 (.683) Last 4 starts Pretty nice having 3 SP'ers doing this well, right? A: Perez B: Pivetta C: Richards

That WP ruined the 4th GIDP chance!
-
Franchy!!!

Kluber with a no-no after 5 (0-0). TB tied with the the O's 6-6.
-
3 GIDP in 5 innings!
-
He's really struggling, tonight.
-
Kike is on fire. He hit 2 HRs at AAA the night before his call-up.

5% is .050, you know- not .005. If someone's LD% goes up .050, it might have something(or a lot) to do with why the BAbip went up .060. I'm not saying LD% accounts for all of the differentials, but I don't think just looking at wild discrepancies in BAbip without also looking at LD% and Hard hit% helps factor in how much be just good or bad luck. Certainly every line drive does not fall for a hit- just as every soft hit ball is not an out, but if someone's LD% goes up, I'd expect his BAbip to go up, also. BTW, if someone's LD% goes from 25% to 30%, it not increasing by 5%, it's actually going up 20%. 5/25= 20% -
I think we done stripped Stripling.

There used to be a time where driving up the pitch count on starters was a benefit- not so much anymore. I'm not sure how easy it is to tell, let alone get your hitters to radically change their approach. So many really want to just see the first pitch, the pitchers motions, or whatever. I'm not sure I'd mess with any hitter that has a good thing going, In general, your point makes sense. I'm just not sure how practical putting it in action can be.

If you are counting longevity, your list seems better, but if you go by who was best during their best 4-5 years, Pedro would be high on my list.
-
We have to strip Stripling of all his confidence. Richards has been doing very well since his first 4 starts.

There's more to BAbip than just luck. Sometimes, the opps are hitting the ball hard for hits- not lucky soft hits. Look at Line Drive% and Hard Hit% as compared to career or previous years. ERod: 2021: 26% LD% (career 21.5% and under 20.1% his last 2 years) 27% Hard % (career 29.2%) Kinda mixed messages, here. People say Pivetta is lucky, and this streak is unsustainable. Yes, his .240 BAbip is much lower than his career .317, but look at how less hard hitters are hitting his pitches: Pivetta 21.9% LD% (23.4% in 2020 and 25.2% in 2019) 26.2% Hard% (44.7% in 2020 and 39.8% in 2019) How about Perez? BAbip .316 (career .310) Hmmm... 25.2 LD% (22% career) 24.1% Hard% (31.4% career)

2021 MLB draft

Great, let's draft pitchers already hurt. They'll fit right in! (Sarcasm alert. Getting one of these guys in the second round would be nice.) -
One major thing about RP'ers and ERA is this. If he comes in with 2 outs, and only his batters who get on base and score count vs his ERA, how much easier is it to not allow his own runner to score, when he only needs to get 1 out not 3. It's also easier when coming in with 1 out. Too much luck is involved. ERA for RP'ers is was down on my list of useful stats. ERA- or ERA+ is much better for SP'ers than just ERA, and it's pretty simple to understand.

2021 MLB draft
moonslav59 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I've almost given up on any hope of getting a pitcher from our system. ' We have done well by getting them from elsewhere, and stocking up on everyday players from our system. That's not to say we can't change. It sure would be nice to get a deGrom form our own system.
