    in a starter's capacity yes but he's still reportedly on track to be able to do some bullpen duty at some point

    Tillman you beautiful bastard

    oh effff right off

    i actually looked that one up too and June '98 Sosa had 1.173 OPS, he sold out for power so much that month and had a below-average OBP (.331) that month and a surprisingly unremarkable 1.6 WAR

    i touched on this in one of the game threads but his June basically broke through the barriers of what is possible for hitter value he finished with 3.1 fWAR, a total that's only been reached this century by Sept. '00 Richard Hidalgo: 3.2 fWAR May '08 Lance Berkman: 3.1 that's it, that's the end of the list.. the only others to even top 2.8 are Aug. '02 Barry Bonds: 3.0 Aug. '23 Mookie Betts: 2.9 Sept. '05 Randy Winn: 2.9 so just to recap he surpassed the highs of what Barry Bonds could even reach in his most head-swollen days

    bc if you don't get the GK to bite you look like a world class jackass

    currently sitting at 2.9 fWAR in June.. the only other position player to match that in any month over the last 10 years was Mookie Betts's August 2019– also 2.9 fWAR, but no player (Shohei double-counting aside) has exceeded that during that span

    still in that last month, PCA has 18.2 offensive runs value, the rest of the team totaled -1.5

    if we're being honest, pessimism was pretty well warranted a month ago given the sheer state of the pitching staff, but something happened since that was so far outside of the range of reasonable expectations, which is awesome but like i said
  10. sneakypower
    yeah i think it's mostly the pressure, if you make it so what but if you miss you're persona non grata forever
  11. sneakypower
    the few years before the Brewers were an objectively good team they were always pulling out such stupid bs wins with all these anonymous pitching retreads so i'm particularly enjoying the shoe being on the other foot the last couple days

    i'd like to undo this one.. 🤦‍♂️

    it rules so hard we get to watch legends bag a brace in so many of these games the only major damper is American stadiums only have the same 3 fuckass Bon Jovi, Killers & Journey songs on near exclusive rotation

    i think i get what you're alluding to, but felt obligated to point out the math on that is 87 to 112 wins annually which i think we'd all gladly take
  17. sneakypower
    it's not a matter of clutch, they just plain suck at that aspect of hitting 20th in MLB in AVG 18th in MLB in SLG so drawing some walks and putting guys on base doesn't amount to all that much because you're just giving LOB opportunities to bad hitters, which is the fundamental complaint team-wise they're good at walking and bad at hitting
  18. sneakypower
    having baserunners for baserunners sake is a little bit meaningless; Cubs are t-11th in runs so the blame for that offensive mediocrity falls somewhere Seiya, Bregman, Dansby, Nico are all bottom-30 in WPA i think it's reasonable to criticize the move-the-line philosophy when results are so middling

    Mbappé allowed Senegal only about 4 seconds of hope
  20. sneakypower
  21. sneakypower
    Lebron's full 5 position eligibility is such a cheat code
  22. sneakypower
    Matt Shaw has 1.4 fWAR in 168 GP, currently sitting at replacement level with a statcast nearly covered in blue paint, his role can just as capably be filled with Jorge Mateo types you can find anywhere; i'm trading him for the first offer that presents any actual value if i'm to be honest no real sense in clutching tightly to Skip Schumaker
  23. sneakypower
    Catcher add: Shea Langeliers drop: Cal Raleigh Bench add: Sal Stewart drop: Jac Caglianone
  24. sneakypower
    i'm building a collection

    new pet peeve is the determination with which Sutcliffe will never learn to pronounce Ballesteros even remotely correct
