    Agree. Hosmer is one of those guys that hangs around forever in baseball because he's White and is seen as some kind of a stabling presence or role model.
  2. CubinNY
    It's a more controlled swing and more repeatable.

    Aliendo has been the primary catcher. Amaya has been mostly DHing. When he has caught, it hasn't been pretty. Aliendo is no great shakes either, he kicks the ball around with his glove like a hockey goalie batting pucks away from the net.

    Yes, he looked really good. Amaya is 2/3 with a SB.

    Wasting ABs in AAA

    PCA not in the lineup again tonight

    Agree on all accounts. However, the AAA team draws pretty well.

    Happy 4.20 day for those who celebrate.

    I think it's a very useful way to assign "goodness" to a team. The three buckets might not all be the same size, but they are close. Rob Neyer wrote a book many years ago about the "best" all-time baseball teams, one of his categories was something like blowout wins (I think it was by 4 or more runs) to measure greatness. I think the '27 Yankees had an incredible number of wins by more than 4 runs. It factors into the overall run differential too.

    Boy that looked like shoulder trouble.

    They hae to change their names from the Athletics to the Aces

    I like how you use true talent like it's an entity that exists. In life, at the end of the day you are the collection of behaviors you have emitted for that day, your potential to emit other behaviors is irrelevant. What you are talking about is what is expected vs what occurred. The statistical stuff is correct, but the rest is nonsense. There is no such a thing as "true talent". If the model doesn't map on to reality, it's the model that's off, not reality. You can't just chalk it up to variance and wash your hands. Baseball is not like flipping a coin. As an aside, these supposedly intelligent people should include confidence intervals on their predictions to account for variance instead of pretending they have a level of precision they do not have.

    PCA not in the lineup today. Why isn’t he playing every day?
  15. CubinNY
    Good to see the Cubs beating up on the alsorans.
  16. CubinNY
    P-Wiss!
  17. CubinNY
    Torrens is wasting a spot.
  18. CubinNY
    Gotta get Steele out.
  19. CubinNY
    I read it wrong, my bad. where is the embarrassed emoji?
  20. CubinNY
    Hayden and Stroman walk out to music by Richard Wagner.
  21. CubinNY
    Please explain.

    UMFan83 posted elsewhere that they have to run a gauntlet of really good teams in May. I'm going to reserve judgment on my expectations until then. They are clearly a top 6 team in NL if the pitching holds up. Better if Taillon and Hayden can improve. If they bring up Mervis soon who knows? They literally cannot be any worse at 1st base/DH.

    His throws to 2nd have not been good. But he’s not alone in that respect. The Biscuits had over 20 stolen bases in the six games.
  24. CubinNY
    PCA is a really aggressive runner. He took home on a ball that got about 3 feet away from the catcher on a passed ball.
  25. CubinNY
    Nwogu. With his 3rd HR of the year. He is buff.
