    eh, i would half-heartedly argue he's currently one of the best closers in baseball simply because every other closer is more or less injured at the moment the best ability is availability!

    Swanson being unable to close his glove tightened the margin to just a solo HR Hendricks was batting practice Smyly wilted pitching issued 10 BBs etc. lot of things went poorly to lose that one that it's unfair scapegoating to focus your frustrations on one player

    it's Teheran' up my heart

    first HR he ambushed first pitch for an oppo blast, 2nd HR was on 1-2 offering, neither one the OFs tried chasing down in earnest; he rules

    smug

    no i just meant that they're more or less the same "0.01% chance they turn into Blake Snell" brand of funky lefty maybe he does and we'll groan but Busch is hitting ground running with a .400+ xwOBA anyway

    had to double check the date on this, how could somebody gnash teeth about giving up DJ Herz Jr & a lump of clay for plug & play Matt Carpenter, ingrate lunacy, to me
  8. sneakypower
    that's quite literally his biggest strength, like there are so many other facets to QB play tangible & intangible where i can't tell you with confidence that he'll meaningfully succeed in the League or not but he's an innately great passer while Tebow was the clear worst in recent memory: https://i.gifer.com/HroA.gif

    i'm trying and failing to think of a single athletic trait or similarity these two share

    Morel acquits himself well at 3rd

    another stunner, mercy

    fwiw Chop Robinson & Adisa Isaac were blowing by Michigan's turnstile tackles and it's ironically a testament to JJ's importance/irreplaceable nature that they opted to use such extreme measures there to preserve him in a somewhat apples to apples (Harbaugh offense) comparison his efficiency/rate stats were fairly comparable to Andrew Luck albeit w less volume

    fun question is if this was available, would you rather have a) Caleb or b) Maye, Barton, Nubin, KJenkins (and maybe Egbuka later?)

    this is a fundamental problem badly hurting parity in the NFL is that there's less than a dozen difference maker QBs at a given time but you essentially need one (desperately) to be competitively relevant teams cope their way into believing David Carr & Daniel Jones types can be that guy and blow such a massive portion of the cap investing in that player and have to skimp on supporting cast which in turn usually spotlights their QB's weaknesses; similarly the effect of trading so many assets to secure that guy high in the draft Dak/Purdy/Russ on late-round rookie deals is such a salary cap cheat code really but not an easily repeatable recipe obviously

    what is this facebook boomer copypasta

    goal line fade is like 15-30% success these days so that's the math they should consider
  20. sneakypower
    it's all predicated on "black-box-plane" logic, yeah the math on it – the conversion rate is 55% this year because teams often save their best gadget plays for the very rare instance they need to pull out a philly special or whatever "the math says go for it" is a flawed concept because it ignores too much context
  21. sneakypower
    i've just seen people understandably confused about the decision to go for 2 after their last score which imo is pretty indefensible from TB's end if your play there is a goal-line fade
  22. sneakypower
    it's so lucky for us that Szymborski seems pretty averse to the idea of working for an MLB organization
  23. sneakypower
    at full strength i think probably not, but our best player's on academic suspension and there's not really a single functional backup PG to suitably fill in so we'll likely continue to lose all road games during Dug's absence i really miss the Beilein days
  24. sneakypower
    when i saw Almonte rumors earlier i had to try to suppress the annoying urge to daydream on Busch's inclusion but Jed went ahead and did it for me
  25. sneakypower
    i for one look forward to his Roy Kent studio commentary contributions
