I hear he’s learning to cook pregame meals. You do have to respect his versatility…
-
Because he knows the code for the locker room keypad. That’s the only reason…
-
Wait. Are people advocating acquiring a RH bat while advocating benching RHH Tyler O’Neill?
-
Pitch clock and pick off limits are huge. Ian Hamilton made two quick pick off attempts at David Hamilton last night. After the second I was thinking “David Hamilton can take 45 foot lead right now and there’s nothing Ian Hamilton can do.” I really didn’t use their full names, but it looked confusing when I just used Hamilton for both…
-
I thought they increased the base size to make it safer for middle infielders to turn double plays in the absence of the Neighborhood Play…

Incorrect. They never said that about stolen bases. Analytics discussed what success rates impact runs scoring. Now they did at one point recommend minimizing stealing bases if you are maximizing launch angle/exit velocity, because the increase in home runs should decrease the need for stolen bases. But that’s not the same thing. Anyway, from 2018, there is this: https://batflipsandnerds.com/2018/11/03/analytics-and-its-effects-on-the-mlb-the-stolen-base/

He’s serviceable defensively at any non-battery position, except possibly CF, as he has just the one inning out there for his career. His osffense goes up and down, because he’s only been getting about 90PA per season. I’m ok with Romy over Westy…
-
As long as they commit one way or another. What deadline deal signified last year was tanking? At best, it was confusing indecision with no obvious direction….
-
I think of Romy as a perfectly serviceable MLB bench player, which is a step above Westbrook. Possibly two steps…
-
That’s a likely scenario, especially while Valdez and Hamilton are in orbit…
-
I loved that they did it. But part of me thinks any team stealing nine bases in one game shouldn’t happen at any level of baseball above Little League…
-
I’d listen on Jansen. But too many factors go into any decision to actually deal him…
-
I’m not as pleased with Westbrook as some others are. But as he is only a weak side platoon for 2b, he’s not a huge concern. But I think when Romy returns, Westbrook goes back to Worcester…
-
The way Hamilton and Valdez are playing, it’s the best option for now. If either returns to Planet Normal Earth, then alternatives for Grissom’s fate enter the picture…
-
The OPS is one thing, but he is hitting the ball HARD and doing so of some very good pitchers…
-
If he cannot get playing time because of some unforeseen circumstances where another player has taken over, that’s not a problem. Of course right now, that player is Enmanuel Valdez…
-
I thought/read that was done to cover him to a starting pitcher. Also, are you implying there are turds in the punch bowl that people do like?
-
I think Bloom did that a lot. Sometimes he was right. Other times he was probably just pretty high …
-
Trade Winckowski? Why? Get him back in that bullpen where he belongs. We could have the Double W Guys, Winky and Whit, shortening games and kicking ass…
-
OPS is what’s done at the plate. SB is something that occurs on the base paths. Long before WAR and WARP and VORP, there was a stat some sportswriter tried to get going called Total Average, which I think did the kind of thing you’re talking about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_average It’s downfall was the rather involved calculations, especially given that this was before everyone had computers on their desk, let alone inside their phones,..
-
I assumed if either would have an impact, it would be Binelas. But Hamilton was added to the 40 man right away…
-
It’s not. A single doesn’t have the same impact on existing base runners. And the stolen base is an entirely separate play…
-
To be fair, the talk of DFAing Hamilton was started by me and not by someone with the knowledge about these prospects and why they were chosen. I do think Bloom expected something from them…
-
2024 stats Hamilton: 1.0 bWAR Renfroe: -0.3 bWAR

Nine stolen bases. In one game. For the Red Sox. For some perspective here, I think it was the 1983 Red Sox that had a total of 10 stolen bases - AT THE ALL STAR BREAK!
