still hasn't thrown 2 strikes without throwing 4 balls first -
This is take until you get 2 territory IMO, make him throw strikes in a leverage situation
-
I feel like Tom Emanski rolls over in his grave every time he watches Gomes throw and yet he constantly gets incredible pop times
-
Burnes gave up 10 baserunners, eyeballing his gamelogs he's given up an average of 4-5 runs every time that's happened in the last several years.
-
Clark won the Great Mascot Race, they're putting up 5 this inning
-
never a strike, come on
-
Brice Turang is a war criminal
-
The Brewers are 14th in MLB in run differential and 6th in winning percentage
-
Feels a bit risky, but then again this particular Brewers lineup is Yelich, Contreras, then thoughts and prayers for the other 7 so I'm not exactly intimidated by who's due up.
-
Seiya is 5 for 11 in SB and Burnes was throwing over like he was prime Rickey Henderson
-
IIRC Candelario is basically getting his whole salary above the minimum paid by Washington, so there really hasn't been much of any dent made in July. I'm not sure if that means they were already flush against their maximum or if they had other irons in the fire they wanted to save for that didn't come to fruition.

White Sox Season in Jeopardy

I'd also again point out that denominators are doing some misleading about the magnitude of the differences between Murray and those immediate comparables when it comes to the underlying dynamic we're saying is good. As a simplified example, taking FB + HR + LD - IFFB as a measure of 'hitting the ball hard in the air', Murray is at 174 per 500 PA, McGeary is at 168, and Caissie 161. -
why does Miley's picture look like he hasn't slept in 3 days
-
The Cubs are 22-10 in their last 32 games, which started over a week before they added Candelario and Cuas. If they finish the year 21-11 they'll end with 90 wins.

Rosters still expand, but only to 28 and only one of those(14 total of the 28) can be a pitcher. So you can think of September call ups as one position player spot and one reliever.

He gave up a couple unearned runs after a Canario fielding error cost him an out, but still a pretty solid outing for Shane Greene again: 4 IP, 3 H, 2 R (0 ER), 6/2 K/BB, 0 HR -
I think there's some reasonable hope that he has a 130-135 wRC+ season in him over the remaining 3 seasons in his deal. I'm not gonna hold my breath he hits 130 as some new norm over several seasons, but with the mitigating factors the last 2 years I think getting on the plus side of 3 fWAR at least once is a reasonable hope.
-
that'll play
-
wRC+ was down to 96 at the start of his break from the lineup, now up to 113
-
Before the 5th he was stretching and flexing his hand/wrist for a minute, trainer came out and he said he was okay and then pitched the inning with the occasional shake/stretch of that area.

No Shaw in the lineup, which while not so unusual perks my ears a little given it's the Sunday before travel day.
