    sps.com does do a pretty good job, though.
  2. moonslav59
    So many of us knew this, all along.
  3. moonslav59
    Man, Lance McCullers- of all people. Can Bello be the stopper?
  4. moonslav59
    Why is it not surprising we are one of two teams who have outscored their opponents but lost more games that we won? The Rays and Sox are both +1 and 1-2. That Ms ar +9 and 2-2.
  5. moonslav59
    The Yanks (and Jays) have started out well. I hope it doesn't keep up.
  6. moonslav59
    The stats confirm the observation that Early has done great.

    Career splits: v R/v L .880/.800 Anthony .839/.604 Abreu .836/.622 Duran .797/.647 Yoshida .791/.869 Contreras .778/.926 Story .751/.416 Mayer .728/.716 Narvaez (Reverse) .709/.690 Durbin (Reverse) .699/.645 Rafaela (Reverse) .691/.660 Wong (Reverse) .616/.872 Romy It's interesting that our 4 or our 5 worst batters RHBs vs RHPs have reverse splits. (They are actually worse vs LHPs.) The RHBs that are decent options to bat high in the line-up vs LHPs are Contreras, Story & Romy. (Romy is on the 60 day IL.) Story's numbers are greatly inflated by his earlier career seasons. Now, with vs LHPs listed first: .926/.778 Story .872/.616 Romy .869/.791 Contreras .839/.604 Abreu .836/.622 Duran .800/.880 Anthony .716/.708 Narvaez (Reverse) .690/.709 Durbin (Reverse) .647/.797 Yoshida .660/.691 Wong (Reverse) .645.,699 Rafaela (Reverse) .416/.751 Mayer

    Anthony's sample size is small, as I pointed out, but his career OPS is .800 vs LHPs. I'm not sure we have better RHB options, other than Contreras. (IMO, Contreras & Abreu should bat 4th based on the L-R pitcher. The other could bat 5th or 2nd. I'm fine with Duran behind Anthony when we face a RH SP'er. Looking at the 2025 numbers vs LHPs: .863 Contreras (.869 career) .770 Anthony .734 Story .731 Narvaez .717 Durbin .679 Rafaela .676 Abreu That being said, I'm not the one hoisting the protection flag. I'm fine with the L-R philosophy and also am fine with adjusting the line-up vs LH or RH SP'ers. I'd also be fine with this... v RHP L Anthony R Durbin L Duran R Contreras L Abreu R Story L Mayer R Narvaez R Rafaela v L L Anthony R Durbin L Abreu or R Story R Contreras R Story or L Abreu L Duran R Narvaez L Mayer R Rafaela

    I almost decided to go to tonight's game, but the delivery of sod we bought for our lawn was delayed until this evening. I'll go tomorrow night or Wednesday afternoon.
  10. moonslav59
    In many loyalists' parlors, yes.

    he just smoked my eyelids and punched my cigarrette
  14. moonslav59
    I'm not sure this is as big an issue as some seem to think it. Ideally, yes, L-R-L-R looks better, but 2 in a row is not a big deal, especially since Anthony seems to do fine vs lefties.
  15. moonslav59
    You keep on with the strawmen. It's what you are good at.
  16. moonslav59
    I prefer the eyelid test. Keeping the eyes open is the first step towards becoming a good player.
  17. moonslav59
    Who went off "half cocked?"
  18. moonslav59
    I think everyone talking about batting orders knows, the impact of changing it is not very big, so nobody thinks it's a "big problem." People often pick out the guy who has had recent struggles, like Weissert, and either blame them for being human or blame Cora for playing somebody he should have known was going to suck. The blame game is as old as history.

    Injury Update: Sandoval: Mid April/Early May (Left UCL)- will throw 4 innings today in extended ST'ing, then to minors rehab assignment. Crawford: Late April/Early May (Right wrist subsheath tear) - will throw 4 innings today in extended ST'ing, then to minors rehab assignment. Casas: May at the earliest (Ruptured left Patellar tendon)-was given clearance to run bases and slide. Will go to minor league rehab assignment, soon. No update on Romy, who is on the 60 day IL with Houck.
  20. moonslav59
    It happened to become a topic for discussion. Nobody called it a "like a big problem," as you said. Nobody even implied it was a bif problem.
  21. moonslav59
    Name one poster who claims the batting order choice is a "big problem."
  22. moonslav59
    A big part was just luck. They got hot, when it counted.
  23. moonslav59
    I would not do either of these, but I suggested this as a solution to the "get Anthony protection" problem.
  24. moonslav59
    I agree, and all the arm up pitches take a toll, too.
  25. moonslav59
    How about.... L Anthony R Contreras L Abreu R Story L Duran R Durbin or L Anthony L Abreu R Contreras L Duran R Story L Mayer R Durbin
