  1. A nice clean win last night... until Chafin stepped on the mound. It tainted the win a little to see Williams get up in that win.
  2. At the end of the game, the site is going to go down for like three minutes, it'll be right back.
  3. Oh for crying out loud, get your **** together boys.
  4. Same. The fact it made that sound off his wrist...
  5. Yikes, that sounded really bad for Cronenworth.
  6. A good/great bullpen can help a little in one run games but the effect is overblown because of the variance in both offense and pitching compensating. If you have a great bullpen and go into the sixth with a one run lead, you might have a four run lead in the ninth. If you have a bad bullpen and go into the sixth with a four run lead, you might have a one run lead in the ninth. It all tends to balance out over 162. Most of a bad one-run game record is due to bad luck in sequencing, not any enlightenment from the coaching staff or shut-down ability of the bullpen (though both can obviously help). Which is explained by the very low correlation YoY of one-run victories/losses, even when the same roster is brought back to play again. Just last year, the Padres were 30-17 in one-run games.
  7. Good lord, the Padres are 6-19 in one-run games.
  8. I believe that's exactly what has happened. Without looking, I think their one-run record is awful.
  9. Those breaking ball numbers, though.
  10. Another tough matchup in the Padres. Despite their losing record, they're still a potent team and their performance has been mostly inexplicable. Let's hope that continues for the next few days because the Cubs get to tee off against the Pirates this weekend.
  11. Yelich is the most obvious candidate, as pretty much all the young guys are centerfielders and it's a real waste to put one of them at first base, especially given the number of question marks about their offense for various reasons.
  12. From a roster-building perspective, this makes quite a bit of sense. And Yelich doesn't need to man 1B full-time, he can rotate back to LF regularly. I don't like the idea of having a dedicated DH unless you have a player on the roster completely incapable of being anything else (Nelson Cruz, for example). In most cases, it makes the most sense to rotate your best hitters through DH when you want to give them a half day off or they're banged up a little.
  13. He’s a wild ride. Looks absolutely dominant for two months then lights himself on fire for a few weeks.
  14. Duran might have gotten out of that inning if Taylor didn’t hand away a base. But Duran hasn’t been great lately. And yes, woof to the Twins pen.
  15. Baseball is such a silly game. All that hitting and back and forth and a weak chopper is a walk-off.
  16. I asked my five year old who we're cheering for today and she screamed "BREWERS!" One cannot disregard the wishes of the five year old.
  17. Oh, there are certainly risks involved with Correa, one would have to be dumb to not believe that. All I'm saying is that the shenanigans around the Giants/Mets were pretty complicated (such as the Mets using literally the exact same doctor to evaluate Correa's ankle, resulting in the identical report) and should be weighed as such. And right now, Correa's ankle isn't a problem. It hasn't been a problem since he entered MLB nearly a decade ago. Could it start being a problem tomorrow? Absolutely, hence the caution from the Giants (I disregard the Mets almost entirely, I think they pulled some real shady **** in that situation). But right now, there's no indication it is or has been a problem from anyone, even inside the organization. I'll start to be truly concerned about Correa if it's June of 2024 and his OPS is still .730. There are a dozen factors that could be causing him to have a mediocre year and there simply isn't enough information to draw a real conclusion today.
  18. It's not spin, it's following the Twins closely and knowing people who are very familiar with the organization. Correa has been dealing with plantar fascitis, which might explain some of his current issues (but not all of them, such as how often he's missing on fastballs this year).
  19. Let’s just say I’m glad I’m not at AmFam today. Field level is going to be BRUTAL.
  20. Or he’s just a slow runner. JJ Hardy was slow af and an elite defender. If Correa can pivot and move laterally at an elite rate defensively, I suspect his ankle is just fine. (at least right now)
  21. Baseball is such a fun game, right? The Twins suck against LHP but manage to get to Miley and shorten his start. So the Brewers then string together 143 singles and blow the game open in a single inning. Such a silly game, this is. Today should be fun. Burnes is Burnes, he should be great. But in the other dugout is a revitalized Kenta Maeda, who returned from Tommy John, then a minor injury, and now has a 2.68 ERA in the ten starts since. Don't expect a lot of scoring in this one.
  22. His ankle hasn't been a problem at all and he has always been a very slow runner. His defense is still very good, too. Correa's problems this season have been rather baffling.
  23. Six singles. That's objectively hilarious.
