    The point of the projected win totals is not to most accurately predict everyone's win totals. It’s an easier to understand representation of team quality that is backed by the most accurate individual projections at our disposal.
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yeah there's 2-3 LHSP they face in the first 3 series plus defensive replacement opportunities, feels like common sense to have Alcantara fill that gap.

    Oweh was faced up to the defense the whole way, it would've been pretty risky to foul when he can go up and get 3 shots since he's prepping to shoot anyway. The real issue with that sequence is that Sendek was calling timeout for a full second before the ball was inbounded and no ref saw/heard him.

    We can't let spring training percentiles be a thing. A better way is possible.

    I believe he was also doing this game on less than a day's notice because Brian Anderson is sick But specifics aside if you're deciding an otherwise terrific and beloved broadcaster is awful because he doesn't spend enough time railing on a player you hate for being dirty, you might want to take a breath or five.

    Seiya got hurt less than 48 hours ago and would've made it back to camp about 24 hours ago.

    Yes it is strange but have you considered Mizzou will probably lose anyway
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    think these gentlemen might disagree

    He got the highest bonus in that draft, and that draft's number 1 was Harper.

    Too lazy to do the legwork for more but it looks like the *median* bWAR for pick number 2 is about 7 WAR, and Taillon is 21st of 61 #2 picks. He's likely to jump a couple more spots too, which really goes to show that you that failure is the assumption for the draft given he's literally 2nd overall.

    The Cactus league as a whole appears to have a 5.78 ERA. Last year it was 5.51.

    I spot checked a bunch after I saw the announcement, there's a bunch of games at that level but they're all weeknights during the school year like you'd expect.

    Devil's advocate: the higher MLB salary means it's more likely those guys take assignment rather than opt out to an uncertain possibility of the MLB minimum on the high end.

    You can always tell a Milford man

    taking a goal off the board so you can give a 'denial of a goalscoring opportunity' red card is hilarious, the EPL continues to innovate in refereeing absurdity

    Arraez is a career -13 defender at 2B, and the last 2 years in limited time it's been more like -18. If you're gonna pretend defense is fake why not pay Suarez or a league average hitter that might hit more than 7 XBH in a full season so you have some offensive upside to go with your defensive catastrophe. Heck tell Devers to do it, that guy loves moving around the infield

    Part of the reason the Chiefs got housed in that Super Bowl is that Thuney at LT got overrun by the Eagles line.

    Steamer(huge grain of salt to begin with) projections sum up to a league-wide ERA of 4.21, and it projects four different Cubs SP better than that. 5 or even 6 if you want to be kind enough to Brown and Assad that if they started more than Steamer projects that they'd stay under.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    The sport is just too difficult to officiate at this level and avoid dramatic inconsistencies. I was pulling for the Bills so I'm probably biased but I still have no idea how review doesn't see firm possession when Cooks hits the ground. And even if not, is what McMillian was doing to Cooks prior to the ball arriving materially different than what White did?
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    I get the instinct to add a LHH bat, but what RHH in the lineup are getting platoon protected or even pinch hit for? As odd as it might seem, I think that last spot needs to go to someone RHH who can play CF since there's more playing time to be had, be it Alcantara or an external signing.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Trading Taillon

    I think the 'everyone is healthy' version is something like that, though it could be all 3 of Brown/Assad/Wicks in Iowa and a MiLB signing(like Keller last year) or someone like Hodge instead. But the 'everyone is healthy' version is unlikely to be necessary, and once we get much beyond opening day you'll inevitably have further shuffling based on performance.
