    Just random stat browsing and I came upon an interesting little nugget. Over the last 20 years, on a season per season basis, Zach Britton has 4 of the 5 highest ground ball rates among all relievers including an 80 GB% in 2016. His 78.9% this year is 10.3% ahead of 2nd.

    Truly thankful for Led and JD every time I watch a bit of a Sox game. The blatant bias and just general whining is so off putting. You don't like a missed ball/strike for the Sox that's fine, but don't completely and totally ignore it when it happens the other way too.

    Yup a failed catch on a foul ball leads to a double. That's enough for me, this team isn't worth being pissed off all the time.

    A lot like last year Who do we hire to be HC next year Derek Johnson please.

    What an offensive Juggernaut this squad is. 14th in MLB in runs scored and continuing to fall.
  6. Tryptamine
    Good recovery, but damn his fastball is worrisome.
  7. Tryptamine
    Guys gets hit in the hand twice bunting over a two day span, the second time hitting the IL. He then returns and three days later gets another in the hand. I mean wtf?
  8. Tryptamine
    If we go 3 deep, I think the Nats keep up. Scherzer,Strasburg and Corbin is pretty ridiculous.
  9. Tryptamine
    The stuff is still so filthy, but he just can't get it together mentally. I'm irrationally hoping for Xavier Edwards.
  10. Tryptamine
    I very much doubt Castellanos is getting platooned. He's going to be an everyday bat. Also, I agree that Robel is going to be headed back to Iowa with the Kemp trade.
  11. Tryptamine
    I think Lange's upside is Kintzler at this point and Richan's is probably back of the rotation starter. A bit more than I thought but definitely not going to sweat it.

    Sending down the better player just to keep Maldonado around on a team that is in a dog fight for the division and wildcard wouldn't make sense. You cannot have a bench of guys who cannot hit at all.
  13. Tryptamine
    Based on how he reacted after being traded to the Mets, I think that's a fairly safe bet.
  14. Tryptamine
    One more lottery ticket from a pretty solid return. I like SWR quite a bit.
  15. Tryptamine
    Wtf. Are they the ones getting Thor? Would make zero sense even if they intended to get Syndergaard and extend him. Give that money to Gerrrit Cole and keep Stroman+Bichette. edit: It has to be a promotion following the trade of Sogard.
  16. Tryptamine
    Well I can't say I saw that coming.
  17. Tryptamine
    No long relievers left. If this game goes to extras that should be real fun.
  18. Tryptamine
    God this team sucks so hard.
  19. Tryptamine
    Welcome to 2nd place Cobs.
  20. Tryptamine
    Please keep putting Strop in high leverage.
  21. Tryptamine
    I'd rather have one more inning of Hendricks then 1 AB of Schwarber with no one on.
  22. Tryptamine
    Don't worry boys, Sogard will fix things.
  23. Tryptamine
    If getting a quality loogy like Holland allows them to keep player assets that can then be used on a bat or set up man then I'm quite happy with this deal. Honestly even if they don't do that I'm pretty ok with this.
  24. Tryptamine
    Generally, based on his age/innings pitched, what’s the time table for him to advance to MB - then TN - then IA? He's a bit more raw than most so I'd guess start at A+ in 2020 with an outside shot at AA after their ASB if he's killing it. With that said, improving a third pitch would let him potentially move faster.
  25. Tryptamine
    Perhaps irrationally excited by this move, but I'd really like to see if the recent swing changes are legit.
