    It makes Holt swing at the next one that bad!
  4. moonslav59
    Come on guys! Robo Umps NOW!!!!
  5. moonslav59
    He can't hit it hard enough for a DP.
  6. moonslav59
    Single by Holt. Wall ball or HR by JBJ!
  7. moonslav59
    Yes, I was not joking.
  8. moonslav59
    Look at that swing! PH for Beni NOW!
  9. moonslav59
    Just get to JBJ this inning, and it's ovah!
  10. moonslav59
    Come on fat legs! Draw a walk!
  11. moonslav59
    Anybody notice how much our pen sucks tonight? If we win here, no save awarded, and their accomplishments will be forgotten.
  12. moonslav59
    JBJ will walk it off. Mark my words.

    It's one guideline to use as you wish. To me, it helps me know more about players on other teams that I don't see play very much, if at all. I see JBJ play great D, but I have no way of knowing if he is the best, top 10 or top 20. I have a pretty good idea how he stacks up against other AL East CF'ers, but even after seeing 18 games of them, I'm not that sure about my own opinion when it comes to comps... certainly no better than I do with dWAR numbers, UZR/150 and DRS. That's all I'm saying.

    Several catchers go 4 of 5 games or 7 of 10. I'm not sure Vaz can do it, but I don't want him tiring out and slumping at bat.
  15. moonslav59
    Probably "phantom," right?
  16. moonslav59
    Chris can become an ace again. Look at the list of aces below and see how many rebounded after a meltdown season. Almost all but King Felix.
  17. moonslav59
    No. Believers in dWAR do not think it is perfect and don't "believe" every number is accurate. It is one tool among many. I don't even watch NL baseball, unless the Sox play them. I barely watch most AL teams play more than 6 games a year. What's that 10 plays hit to CF in those 6 games? AAAA players can still be great defenders but just not top 20 or 25, if the position is as loaded as CF is this year on defense.
  18. moonslav59
    How do you know JBJ is better than most CF'ers on D. then?
  19. moonslav59
    It's not one guy. It's trained people who are rotated and calibrated. The same guys who rate JBJ rate the other CF'ers. It's not a perfect system, but I see far too few games by other teams to know if their CF'er is better than ours or not.
  20. moonslav59
    Make him the closer and Eovaldi the #4. (Sarcasm alert.)
  21. moonslav59
    The only time I'd take my hat off for the Yankees is before I stuff it up their poop shoot.
  22. moonslav59
    Still, I see the cost of obtaining decent starters is pretty low. It's a buyer's market.
  23. moonslav59
    A's trade AA utility IF'er for Homer Bailey.
  24. moonslav59
    He's a very head-up base runner and gets the most out of his not-so-great speed. He has the best reaction time on defense over recent years. I'm not sure if he takes the best routes on fly balls as he seemingly used to do, but he still looks plus to these eyes.
  25. moonslav59
    The JBJ scores are puzzling, but I will say, he doesn't look as good as he was a few years ago. IMO, he is not a minus, but there are a hell of a lot of great defensive CF'ers in MLB these days, and these numbers are somewhat relative to the norm. JBJ's numbers look wrong to me, and it seems strange that over the last few years, he starts off in the negative and ends up plus. Maybe he will again this year. I've never said the numbers are perfect or 100% accurate. Park dimensions and the ability and speed of corner OF'er affect a CF'er's ratings, as well, and that doesn't seem fair, but these guys watch every play of every game. They are calibrated, cross-compared and rotated, so one would think that over a large enough sample size, it would be fairly accurate. OF'er sample sizes can be pretty small, and maybe a 2-3 year sample size is the best way to use UZR/150 on them.
