Ooo, that's a twister. So.
I’ll add some details once I’ve woken up a bit, but I’ve come to the conclusion that they need to fire Jerry Dipoto and Justin Hollander. Whoever’s in charge of player development can stay, though.
Two walks and two hits in 2/3 of an inning...we've seen that story before. Stress and O's fans are losing their minds.
He definitely might! Judge has come back to earth slightly since his highest, and Witt has pulled to almost even in fWAR (still 0.7 bit back in rWAR). The difference is on defense - B-R counts him as 5 runs above the average SS, and FG says 10. FG has always had a higher opinion of his defense than B-R has. Baseball Savant seems to agree more with FG on that evaluation.
But I repeat myself - it's back to 1998 again with DJL's corpse playing the part of Darryl Strawberry.
I watched last night. Great game and he is the best.
I'd say it's expected. Granted, losing that much is hard to do… one good week against another slumping team can completely throw the trajectory off, but they've traded Fedde, Crochet's workload is getting limited and I'm not sure if Thorpe is going to run into usage issues or not... but when anyone outside of those three has been on the mound this year, their winning percentage has been almost identical to the 1899 Cleveland Spiders. They have one hitter on the entire active roster who isn't below average (by OPS+).
