    Well, that was back when Alex was getting some sleep…

    Sounds good to me. Where do I vote for it?
  3. notin
    You’re not legally required to watch all 18. Just don’t step on the toes of us who do want it…

    To be fair to Gallo, why would anyone ever pitch to him in a high leverage situation? There’s never been anyone behind him in that lineup that you feared with men on base…

    And just can’t do anything against left-handed pitching..

    I think their approach this year was to “rereset”…

    If only MLB didn’t have that new extremist deadline rule where teams have to either stay under the limit or trade away every prospect and take on as much salary as possible. Curse you, Rob Manfred!! Allow for a “middle off the road” approach where teams just go over a little. Also, bring back 9 inning double headers …

    If that kids like his dad, he’s never going to learn to walk. Rimshot (Actually I know Verdugo is like 4th on the team in walks, but I needed a punchline.)

    They couldn’t “reset” since they did so last year; they needed to set something first so they could reset it…

    Unrelated follow up, but on the date (10/18/2004) Ortiz had two walk off postseason hit, the Astros also won their game by a score of 3-0 on a 3 run walkoff home run by Jeff Kent Amazing day for baseball…

    Wrong JD and wrong season. But I think you knew that…
  12. notin
    Possibly. Counting Machado, the Padres have incredible depth at shortstop…

    The Stanton signing wasn’t so bad. He won an MVP on that deal for the team that signed him. Now the Stanton trade is another matter…

    Reportedly the Padres will be moving Fernando Tatis Jr. to the outfield due to his shoulder issues, thus answering 5Gold’s questions about the last time a player changed positions to a totally new one in the middle of a pennant race…

    My favorite Ortiz postseason story is that in that he actually got two walk off hits in that same series on the same day!! His home run in game 4 came well past midnight, even out here in the Central Time Zone. And then later that day, he singled in Damon, who was able to “run all the way to New York!” Two walkoff postseason hits on the same day - that has to be a record. (If memory serves, the NLCS game that day between Houston and St. Louis also ended in a walkoff hit. 3 LCS walkoffs on the same day is just flat out awesome baseball.)

    Ortiz’ numbers in high leverage actually get a slight increase (about .011) from all the international walks. His rate of IBB in high leverage is nearly double his rate in other situations, although his unintentional walk rate is actually less. While this doesn’t mean anything with regards to the existence of clutch (beyond maybe narrowing the gap a little) it does indicate a lot of MLB managers had some serious faith in him as a hitter in those high leverage spots, as they should have…

    In many ways it was similar to JD’s grand slam. Obviously the effect on the crowd was different…

    Yeah the auto correct seems to prefer contractions over possessive pronouns. And of course I missed it…
  19. notin
    But the question is … who’s pen?
  20. notin
    No way in Hell am I clicking that…

    A complaint made about every manager every year. It’s probably a good thing most managers aren’t as impulsive as most fans. If Cora was as impulsive as me, he would have given up on Phillips Valdez in March and Josh Taylor in April..,
  22. notin
    Also they were late bloomers. And they’re both into leather…

    At this stage of his career, JD might be prioritizing years over money…
  24. notin
    Josh Reddick got released. He has 5 career games totaling 6.2 innings at 1b. That’s better than Schwarber!! Of course his .755 OPS vs RHP, while better than Dalbec, is far worse than Schwarber…
  25. notin
    Another “clutch vs myth of clutch” argument, even though it was probably never intended as one. Springer has been on fire since the All Star break. Not surprising he started red hot for one more at bat…
