  1. He’s a 5 tool player and a 6 tool player of clutch is a skill. He’s second in baseball in WPA in baseball with a 193 wRC+ with RISP.
  2. They’re better pitchers, why not? The question that should be asked is whether or not Rea, Peterson and Assad can replicate their success over the last month through the final 46 games. History isn’t on their side.
  3. I’ll take a 5-2 homestand versus the Yankees and dodgers with Fried, Cole, Skubal and Cease starting 4/7 games.
  4. Including position players. 12-13 arms with position players filling out the rest of a roster is the norm.
  5. PCA hits what would’ve been the game winning hit if Kelly had average speed, gets thrown out, Pete says eff it I’ll do it myself, steals third and an errant throw brings him home. He’s a grinder. He also hit 2 home runs and a double yesterday.
  6. His career ERA is 1.3 runs lower against the Cubs than his career average in 8 starts. This isn’t something new. It’s annoying.
  7. Is it legal to not be dominated by Cease when he faces the Cubs? horsefeathers this guy.
  8. Hopefully Happ can pull a heater out of his ass like Swanson. He’s been awful for 2 months with no signs of life.
  9. horsefeathers. I thought we dodge a bullet with Cease back in June but nope.
  10. Considering where he was at in April back when PCAAA was still a meme, it’s absolutely unfathomable.
  11. Judge had a 6.8 fWAR in a 64 game stretch in 2022, which is the best of this decade,
  12. His walk rate jumped from 4.5% to currently 11.9%, that’s less than his jump from a 59 wRC+ versus left handed pitchers in 2025 to a 163 currently. I don’t know where this ranks historically but he’s the Josh Allen of MLB players. The best part about him is how one day he’s Ichiro going 2/4 with 2 singles and 2 stolen bases and the next day he’s Aaron judge going 3/5 with 2 homers, a double and 4 RBIs. He’s also good at defense too.
  13. It’s an A. they’re 17 games above 500 despite having enough arms on the IL to fill out a pitching staff of a 26 man roster including key arms like Brown, Horton and Palencia. Factoring in Taillon and wicks making 18 combined starts, their resilience deserved to be rewarded.. Gausman cost nothing, Zeferjahn is now our second best reliever and with many years of control. I won’t knock Jed for discarding Rojas when the Angels showed no interest in him. I’d rather have Clay Holmes for at least couple of months than holding onto him, because maybe there’s a better trade package in the offseason, leaving us all wondering what could’ve been. That’s been the biggest knock on Jed and he should be praised for going out of what some people perceive as his comfort zone.
  14. Too bad their run differential is only +99 thanks to theilbar horsefeathers things up.
  15. It’s funny how Tucker hit right into the shift with Bregman positioned like he’s fielding a bunt.
  16. Before advanced stats were introduced, baseball tonight web gems, pitcher win-loss record and triple crown stats determined award winners. Maybe the first part was true for him plus name recognition?
  17. The competition for good defensive 1st basemen had to have been brutal if that’s true.
  18. PCA better go 4-4 or he’ll lose war and cost himself MVP at DH.
  19. That’s what I was thinking. He attacks hitters differently in certain spots and nibbles at the corners with higher selection of pitches more than in low leverage spots where he throws it over the plate more. His sinker definitely plays into the strength of the middle infield defense. You’d expect it show up in the data though. He’s worth studying in depth.
