    Well hopefully we’re still in first by the end of the weekend
  2. UMFan83
    yeah I just edited my post to point that out. It might actually be a great year to load up on lefties to get through the NL. Possibly the 3 best teams in the AL (NYY, DET, HOU) seem to hit much better against LHP than RHP, but I'll gladly take that problem if it means we're in the World Series.
  3. UMFan83
    Yeah makes sense. Also just looking at the splits leaderboards, the top 4 teams vs. LHP in wRC+ are all in the AL (NYY, HOU, DET, BOS). The Dodgers are at 115, the Cubs are 2nd at 112 (surprise), and the Phillies are at 106. Every other NL team is under 100. Obviously Philly is above average but the only dangerous NL team IMO would be the Dodgers and they are dangerous regardless (119 wRC+ vs. RHP) Edit: Should also mention, here are a few other NL Contenders vs. LHP: Brewers - 98 Mets - 95 Padres - 91 Cardinals - 88 Reds - 79 Giants - 76 So if anything it may be an advantage to have 3 lefties topping the rotation this year.

    If the top option available was a lefty would that be less attractive for you? I saw Gore from the Nats mentioned in an article here recently. No doubter to add a pitcher of his caliber with team control, but would it be an issue to have your top 3 starters entering a playoff series (Shota, Gore, Boyd) all being LHP? For some matchups it might be an advantage but others it might be a death sentence.

    Seriously, I'm very interested in knowing how far off they were.

    Rereading the Bold Predictions thread looking for PCA predictions and even the ones that were very optimistic about PCA understated how good he would be.
  7. UMFan83
    I don't claim to be an expert in these things but I have a hard time understanding how he could be unfortunate while being in the 1 percentile in exit velocity and 4 percentile in hard hit %

    Also it looks like the Twins are perfectly fine winning the first 2 games of the series with Paddack still in there.
  9. UMFan83
    Ahh yes one of those series where were score almost all of our runs in one game.
  10. UMFan83
    Shaw is so tough to watch at the plate sadly
  11. UMFan83
    FWIW the Cubs won 2 of 3 in NY in 2023. Prior to that they had never won in NY against the Yankees in the history of both franchises.
  12. UMFan83
    Don't forget that NSBB also gave up Sean Gallagher's dad in the trade.
  13. UMFan83
    Just can’t believe 48 hours ago we were up 4 games with the Brewers starting a series against the Dodgers and us against the Twins
  14. UMFan83
    Single, walk, walk, IF single, FC is not exactly the most reassuring way to score 2 runs but I’ll take it
  15. UMFan83
    Can we PH for Dansby?
  16. UMFan83
    There would be like 75% less overreacting if the Brewers were winning 75% of their games. Obviously it’s only July so maybe we shouldn’t even care about the scoreboard but it adds a layer of annoyingness and dread to everything. 1.5 games is the closest the Brewers have been since April 22nd
  17. UMFan83
    This is turning into the series from hell. less than 48 hours ago we had a 4 game lead, now we’re facing ending the night 1.5 up
  18. UMFan83
    Figures after scoring 28 runs last series
  19. UMFan83
    Brewers now 15-5 in their last 20. They won't always be this hot (because winning 75% of games is unprecedented) but annoying nonetheless with them playing the Nationals next while we play at Yankee stadium
  20. UMFan83
    Doesn't matter anyone since PSG is apparently an unbeatable juggernaut but how the hell is a competitive knockout round PSG-Real Madrid match, played in the United States in the middle of the afternoon with nothing competing against it, only available on the streaming DAZN network? Apparently the Chelsea-PSG (most likely) final will also only be on DAZN.
  21. UMFan83
    Dodgers offense just as bad against the Brewers. Both teams are 3 outs from defeat. Terrible night so far
  22. UMFan83
    All the hitters just look really off today. Way more swing and miss than normal. Very annoying
  23. UMFan83
    Never mind Seiya has another awful AB in a key spot
  24. UMFan83
    Seiya needs to do something. I bet a lefty comes in vs PCA and Busch
  25. UMFan83
    Not ripping on you at all but how the horsefeathers are we in a position where this has to be a suggestion
