He pitched 135 innings this year, second most of his career, most since 2007. The one consistent in his career is his fragility. 3/$48 wouldn't have been a wise investment for the Red Sox.I was sorry and puzzled by the Sox failure to sign Hill. I know, they had a full complement of pitchers, but couldn't they have made it work somehow?
As in, he’s getting lit up, or he used to be ours and we let him get away? Something else?I can't believe I'm watching Rich Hill right now
...about good phone service?The head of T mobile seems like he cares more about Puerto Rico than...
Pretty fantastic. Thank you, woulda missed it otherwise.
No I completely understand why we let him get away. It's just strange. I mean I know his numbers are solid and all but...he's Rich Hill, you know?As in, he’s getting lit up, or he used to be ours and we let him get away? Something else?
No joke- that was a great game to watch. Napoli hit his 100th pitch of the game for that HR.Verlander is a beast. It's still remarkable to me that the Sox were able to beat the Tigers back in '13.

Where could a gypsy find a streamed link to some baseball on this fine evening?
Live sports tend to be the one time I miss cutting the cord..
I totally agree. It seems very strange that Rich Hill is starting Game 2 of the WS for the WS favorite.No I completely understand why we let him get away. It's just strange. I mean I know his numbers are solid and all but...he's Rich Hill, you know?
It'd be like watching Wade Miley start the WS. No offense to Mr. Hill.
Where has this Verlander been in the last few years though. He’s been really good, but this is like vintage Pedro.Verlander is a beast. It's still remarkable to me that the Sox were able to beat the Tigers back in '13.
I heard that the last couple of years he's learned to mix it up and spot things a bit better, thinking more, not getting by on just blowing guys away.Where has this Verlander been in the last few years though. He’s been really good, but this is like vintage Pedro.
Merci beaucoup
I swear I was kidding.I keep waiting for Peyton Manning to appear.
Sounds like a reason.I heard that the last couple of years he's learned to mix it up and spot things a bit better, thinking more, not getting by on just blowing guys away.
I heard it was because he beat his addiction to cough syrup.Sounds like a reason.
Not for long now.Verlander is throwing a no hitter ain't he?
Yeah, probably the fact that the RPM is close despite the average velocity. Given a constant of distance, it kind of makes sense. I'd share more but can't risk MLB.com publishing a stat before I do a piece for the .com about it again! Last time it was wOOA, if so curious. Have a few ways of working with these numbers, including some on baserunning efficiency/deviations and other splits. If you or anyone knows anyway I could try to spin this into a job position for the league, I'm all ears.Interesting. Do you have another explanation for why his cutter moves more?

IMO this stat has also shown me Jeff Manship (of the KBO's NC Dinos!) is an undervalued and future Moneyball player. Had more RPP on an 88 MPH fastball last season (2016) than Chapman, who led MLB easily in RPP, who averaged 100.6 on his heater.
Looks more like a shutout.Verlander is throwing a no hitter ain't he?
I never got my basketball taco. Here's hoping someone pulls it off.We still need a steal for a taco...
