One thing we have in common here is that we are both not letting results color our thoughts on process. Don't know where you got that for me.
Rcal already argued my point for me better. If that play works 35% of the time, it's a good send. You're leaving lot of expected value on the table by being so risk-averse in your process. 4th down game theory is a really good analogy for this, it's basically the same thing
I didn't mind that send. Some of you are REALLY prone to letting bad results make you bitch about good processes.
Someone drove by Happ yesterday when complaining about Seiya - he's one of our only hitters consistently barreling the ball over the last week - but he's running into bad luck. So therefore he SUCKS.
Be less dumb.
I'm really thrilled with PCA's game today. He took some pitches and wasn't selling out for power and it showed. That single on the curve in the zone was really beautiful. And he did it without the adrenaline rush of having to make a great place in CF. His BA is.comfortably in the 270s now and if he has games like this occasionally he's going to keep his value up and stay in the 4 spot even when not hitting for exceptional power
What? No.
First of all, he absolutely scalded the ball, just really unlucky placement. PCA still advanced to 3rd. Absolutely did his job
Seems silly to assume a perfect bunt from Happy anyway
I have a good feeling about Brown today. Anecdotally, he's leaving less stuff over the plate to get crushed lately, and you have a good chance to frustrate the white sox as long as you locate. I think he can afford to be off the plate and still get chase today, too.
