Feel free to eyeroll but his OPS is .938 this season against lefties. And .868 career vs LHP. This scrub lineup needs every small advantage it...
Not exactly a coincidence, given the emphasis both clubs have on spin rates. And both have had more than enough success to justify the cost.
I'm not here to pitch JV as a great pitcher or a trade candidate, I was trying to say he was pretty mid. And maybe he's more of a 5 inning guy...
I really appreciate the insight into his thinking. And I *love* the Puig comparison - super talented guy with serious personality issues. Of...
LRJ is the first guy I've known who's gone Operation Shutdown since Derek Bell. If he's chosen to suck because he doesn't like his team, he's...
Lots of guys have "the skills to be awesome" in theory. His exit velos suck, his K% sucks, doesn't make good contact, chases too much. Statcast...
Why are we trying to make 11 games mean something for Robert Jr.? The sample size is far, far too small. And he didn't face a single SP in that...
Problem is, Lance is also the better bet to give up 5 ER in 2 innings. It's feast or famine. JV is a serviceable 6IP, 3ER type now. He doesn't...
Amazing to think Clemens at that age had a 1.87 ERA and finished 3rd in the Cy Young (should have won). JV needs the cream and the clear.
He's had 3 good series in a row, after 4 bad series before that. It's positive signs but I'm not sure he's demonstrated enough to conclude he's...
6 outs away and we had to Sousa this up.
Sandy sucks this year. Might be the worst pitcher in baseball. Not just bad luck, he's got bad underlying numbers too. Haven't watched any...
This 100%. It would be crazy to trade our best pitcher away in a season where we could win it all. Especially when Hunter has looked bad in his...
I think adding Taylor Trammell to the list of players who have a wOBA below their xwOBA is stretching to fit a narrative. His xwOBA slightly...
I wish I trusted the Astros medical staff enough to believe that last sentence of yours.
The previous Yordan quotes about him needing to rest it but also needing to play make me sad. I wish they'd just let him sit until the hand...
I'm not sure what Jose Altuve, of all people, would have to do to convince you he's going to be a productive player in the postseason. Dude is...
Framber is very different from those guys, though. The ones I'm thinking about are the Dallas Keuchel types that had minimal stuff. Framber...
Dubon was a 0.6 WAR player in his first big league season, with 111 PA. That's a 3 WAR pace if he'd played regularly. He was 25. Second year he...
Dude is 27 year old. He's not some raw prospect just waiting for coaching to unlock. We tried that, just this year, with Brendan Rodgers....
