and Peavy was a 2.8 fWAR player in 2009
-
The number of people in that thread who said "this off season is a complete bust if we don't get Peavy" is hilarious in hindsight
-
Yes, definitely better to pull your pitcher who has given up 1 run in 4 2/3 IP to make sure you get a matchup where the batter has a 0.07 worse batting average -
this thing is bad and doesnt work yes i know the example i chose didn't actually cost them and may have actually greatly prolonged their opportunity to win actually i just dont like it See, you get it
-
This is the type of game that makes the recent trend of "bullpenning" fall apart. Yes, its super rare for a game to go this long, but the tendency to pull starter early (who aren't struggling) just to play super specific matchups is bordering on silly. And yes, I know, pulling Porcello in the 5th is not what cost the Red Sox this game, I get it, but it's a trend that I don't personally like

30 years ago you were .500 if you averaged 110. That’s surprising, since defenses could basically clothesline you if you drove the lane
-
18 teams are averaging 110 ppg or more Last year only 6 averaged that 10 years ago, 0 teams averaged that
-
The ESPN radio announcers spent about an inning and a half actively campaigning for Machado to not be signed by anyone because he is such a lazy, loafing player
-
With 2 outs and RISP, the Red Sox, AS A TEAM, are slashing better than '41 Ted Williams. I wonder what that feels like
-
Maybe, but batting 9 righties in a row is generally a bad idea no matter what the splits of your hitters are Why? Let's the opposing pitcher get into a rhythm and repeatable approach. Giving him a different look once or twice in the lineup forces him to adjust

How did sitting those guys work out for him? There’s an alternate universe where Roberts started all three guys in both games, they went a combined 1-14 with 8 Ks off Sale and Price and lost all three games, and alternate universe Derwood is laughing at Roberts for not starting righties instead. Maybe, but batting 9 righties in a row is generally a bad idea no matter what the splits of your hitters are

Dave Roberts, lineup wizard, sat his top home run hitters for the first two games because god forbid they face lefties Muncy, Bellinger and Pederson combined for a whopping 15 HR vs LHP. Bellinger had a .681 OPS vs LH and Pederson had a .512. How did sitting those guys work out for him?

and blow it

Look at those littering slobs

NLDS Game 1 thru WS Game 6 are basically a giant blur to me. The only game I distinctly remember is WS Game 7.
-
So this week we had games lost on: Missed game-tying PAT Missed game-tying FG Missed game-winning 2 PT Conversion Hail Mary stopped at the 1 yard line Anything I missed?
-
It’s going to be remarkable to see how Reid loses in the 2nd round this year with this offense. wait, there's a 2nd round? First round bye
-
Amazes me that people still don't understand how the baseball playoffs work. It’s amazing how you’ve taken “the playoffs are a crapshoot” as a bulletproof trump card over actually looking at team matchups
-
Weren’t we saying they were the ‘85 Bears like three weeks ago? How did it go south so quickly?
-
I have no faith that Penn State can beat Iowa
-
Angels hire Ausmus Reds hire Bell
-
Do the Dogers eke out a victory, or is this just a 4-0 Boston massacre?
-
re: OSU A QB going 49-73 for 470 yards and 2 TD and losing by 29.....it's almost unfathomable

Nice of Crawford to turn into Patrick Roy on the night I bring my kid to a game. Jerk
