    If you were a ballplayer...

    I had a window of about four years where I was a pretty decent player. I also sucked defensively. If I kept playing baseball, I probably could have been an okay right fielder in high school, with a really pesky bat. A typical game for me was something like 0 for 0, 3 BB, 2 SB. One season I had...

    What to do with Yoshida?

    Is it still possible to DFA him, and have the following possibilities? 1) no one claims him, and we outright him to AAA - off the 40 man, and his salary no longer counts (like Rusney) 2) someone claims him, and we try to work out a trade and maybe unload some of his salary 3) someone claims...

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    Also, Manfred can fuck right off with his phantom runner rule.

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    This bullpen is such a heap of garbage.

    My Ideal Metric - TOTAL bases

    Well, now I know what the w in wOBA means. Meanwhile in another thread… Hank: “someone should invent like an edible food holder… like you can put food in between it, and just eat a bunch of stuff at once that would otherwise be messy… I’m not sure what it should taste like though.” “Bread...

    My Ideal Metric - TOTAL bases

    I wonder if someone could come up with a sort of “weighted” total bases. Because I think a leadoff triple isn’t exactly three times as valuable as a walk or a single. A runner on third can score on a flyball, or a single. A runner on second can advance to third on a ground out. But a runner on...

    There’s also a Luke Voit reference on this one!

    4/14 Galileo's Well-Handled Balls. . .

    I haven’t watched many games this year, but just based on the box scores, it seems like Jansen has been about as bad as he could possibly be, while still getting the job done. I mean, not quite as extreme as Playoff Kimbrel in 2018, but still…

    In some alternate universe, the Orioles just lost Henderson, Holliday, Mountcastle, Mullins, Cowser, and Rutschman to horrific, knee-exploding, career-ending injuries -- all one after another, on different consecutive plays, and Joe Buck, who was calling that game, sadly proclaimed "and the...

    4.6 - Angels in the Outfield

    Weissert is a pretty good pitcher for a guy who looks like he sells pillows on an infomercial.

    4.6 - Angels in the Outfield

    Is Whitlock coming back out?

    4.6 - Angels in the Outfield

    Pretty sure Dalbec would swing and miss, while evading the would-be HBP, even with two outs in the ninth, with the bases loaded and the winning run on third.

    4.6 - Angels in the Outfield

    If he comes up to bat with Devers on third, looses his grip on a swing, and sends his bat spiraling towards Raffy like a stray propellor, does that qualify as an “error”?

    Grading the Umps - March/April

    With all this data on umpire accuracy - do we know if individual umpires are fairly consistent with their own “quirks” in how they perceive the strike zone from game to game, over the course of a season? Just wondering if we’re at the point where teams go into a game knowing their pitchers can...

    4.5 - Angels in the Outfield

    Maybe the Angels strat is to bore the Red Sox into submission? Hell, even their legendary superstar, Mike Trout, is kind of a bore compared to Betts and Ohtani.

    4.2 - A’s Kickin’

    Regardless of what happens here, I really hate this stupid phantom runner crap. I thought it was supposed to be going away? Thanks Manfred.

    The A’s are allowed to do that?
