  1. Russell is at a 93 wRC+ this season. So, higher than that career number mentioned earlier. I don't get how any of this works. The dude sucks on offense this season, right? Anybody slugging .374 has to suck on offense. Alcides Escobar has a career OBP of .291. They aren't in the same conversation. Russell is hitting .268/.339/.378 with a 94 wRC+. The league average shortstop is hitting .255/.318/.402 with a 94 wRC+. He's hit exactly like an average shortstop, with excellent defense.
  2. Is he pushing off the ground to get more force behind his arm motion?

  4. Actually, he calls them frauds all the time. So, that's not it. They're such frauds that even my reverse sorcery only gets them up to second place every year. Frauds.
  5. His slide from today: http://mlb.mlb.com/images/4/7/2/288722472/080318_chc_baez_slide.gif

  8. Go change your votes in the MVP poll, you heathens.
  9. That's what's so weird about him. Like he hasn't been Chatwood or anything outside of two or three starts, and it's perfectly normal for any guy to have a handful of those a year, but he still had an 11.2% walk rate coming into today. He's just walked an extra guy per game for whatever reason this year. Yeah, I think he's pitched a lot better overall since that start against the Braves in May when he got rocked. Not giving up as many hits, HR rate has been normal. Plus, his exit velocity numbers have been good and he hasn't been getting barreled. He was getting hit really, really hard early in the year. But... you can't keep walking guys like that. I think part of it was he was just timid and nibbling. But his walk rate has remained the same all year. And you simply can't walk that many guys.
  10. That's the first time Q didn't walk anybody in a game this year. Last time he didn't walk multiple batters was on April 28.
  11. What horsefeathering game are these idiots watching?
  12. Q's actually got some great command today. More of this.
  13. Save some of the BABIP and LOB regression for later, VBs.
  14. Duensing must know where Happ's bodies are buried.
