Game 92: 7/11-A's at Sox
- Thread starter DJnVa
- Start date
Daubach was like that. 3 months of 800 OPS alternating with 3 of 600. (Or so it seems in my memory.....)
Both of these are good comparisons.
Manny is the guy I would think of who was the other way: at least in my memory, he would have a brief slump in which his Ks would spike and he would hit a lot of popups, but then he would become even more patient than usual for a few PAs, take a few walks, and then he would line a few singles over the second baseman, and then you'd know he was about to start crushing the ball. He had a sequence, like it was a method for getting out of a slump that he had developed.
He could use the rest. But....several days before the ASG...then several days after. So.....maybe!
This tells me that the team is not as worried about Houck's innings as the board is.
I hope they know what they're doing!

Yup! Hopefully, he's grading out super well on all the strength tests and such, and there's no concern about the fact that he's on pace for ~195 IP after never throwing more than 119 in a season at any level.
On one hand, that was a batting-practice fastball. On the other hand, he hit it in the air. I'll take it.
The Mets ex-GM just got suspended a couple years for that. I don't think you can do that anymore.
98.5mph EV, 35 degree launch - that was a very weather-aided homer.
Nonetheless, Masa's OPS is now over 700.

Out of 15 parks.
If he wants to carry that through October, I wouldn't mind.
That’s based only on distance, and I believe @DeadlySplitter is saying it travelled that far due to the weather in Boston tonight. That’s maybe accurate, since it only had a .260 xBA.
That actually answers a question I had. I was curious how Wong’s homer had an .830 xBA despite being gone in all 30 parks
Dallas Braden is telling a great anecdote about Alan Embree challenging him (on pain of hazing) to find the Yawkey initials in the ballpark when he first came up with the A's.
Chase Anderson has been absolute nails in this role. It must be really hard to stay ready, but he's been really reliable.
He's striking out nobody, but he's not allowing many baserunners, and the point of the mop-up role is to eat innings more than prevent runs. His availability is a skill.
