    Really hope we can close this one out.

    This IBB is extra insulting to Turner with Busch waiting. They must feel very good about a dp.
  3. muntjack
    Well, If Michael Busch is a 1.000 OPS kinda guy, then we're in for a hell of a ride.
  4. muntjack
    I'm sorry. I understand how unimportant lineup order is but I still hate Turner hitting 3rd. Would rather see any other RHH there.
  5. muntjack
    Wesneski with 0 BB and 10Ks in his start tonight.
  6. muntjack
    Why is the 40 yr old with the sub-.600 OPS hitting 3rd?
  7. muntjack
    Boyd has looked like great value so far.
  8. muntjack
    This just had the feeling of one of these games. Can't add on, give up lead late, lose. Would be great to avoid that last part.
  9. muntjack
    Sure, but BB% is always going to go up as stuff diminishes. Necessarily playing at the edges of the zone because you a are throwing 92 instead of 96 is one factor.
  10. muntjack
    Why didn't Busch come in?
  11. muntjack
    Yeah, hoping Ben Brown takes the next step here. He's got the ceiling they desperately need.
  12. muntjack
    I won't complain that Miggy isn't in there, because Kelly is the mayor right now, but Amaya hasn't missed a step moving into the regular season. Variance getting him a bit, but the PAs look good. I really think there's a 125 wRC bat there and would hate for him to lose too much momentum.
  13. muntjack
    Would love to see the bullpen lock this down with minimal trouble.
  14. muntjack
    No, not really. I'd like to see him in match-up situations in the 6th or 7th.
  15. muntjack
    He has to nibble to survive.
  16. muntjack
    I don't like Ryan Pressly in this role.
  17. muntjack
    And when that 4-seamer is 96-98, the combo is devastating.
  18. muntjack
    What I don't love about analyzing relievers with those metrics, just like any other, is that the small sample size makes them noisy. If there's a week in which a reliever happens to face 10 struggling hitters, and 8 of them are susceptible to the 4-seamers up in the zone, it can appear to create patterns in the pitcher's season that aren't really there.
  19. muntjack
    What's Adbert up to?
  20. muntjack
    Doesn't need to save the pen but he struck out 37% of hitters and walked 8.5%. It's not like we don't have room for that.
  21. muntjack
    Neely had a 14 K/9 with a good BB rate.
  22. muntjack
    Where's Jack Neely? He was elite last year in AAA and throws 97.
  23. muntjack
    You have to have absolutely elite secondaries to get away with a 92 mph fastball.
  24. muntjack
    I'm having a hard time with this logic. If he was 28, sure, who cares what he did at 25. An aging curve is a real thing. His peripherals getting worse is a pattern likely influenced by his age. You can use this to help predict how he is likely to perform this year. I know you know this, so I'm confused. I don't really care that he gave up runs last night, I worry that a guy in decline is again going to be given a long leash in critical situations and it will cost the team wins. I thought this a month ago and if he converts the next 3 saves perfectly, I'll feel the same.
  25. muntjack
    Yeah, I was annoyed the second he was promised the closer's role, presumably because of the gray in his beard. Hodge was fantastic, but he needs to shave out a bald spot or something.
