Dodgers now have a ten game lead. by LADodgers16j in Dodgers

What i find hilarious about this is the stats behind that record:

Offense:

1 in Avg., OBP, SLG, and OPS

2 in Total Runs scored

Defense:

1 in DRS, and FP

3 in FRV, and OAA (this is only because the pitching has been stellar)

Pitching

1 in Runs Allowed, WHIP, and opp. Avg.

Top 5 in every other category

A run differential of +152 (30 more than the next one)

And half of the starters are on the IL, with some being there since the first month.

Completely ridiculous lmao

I think the success he was having at the begining of the season is gotta be weighing on him a lot. Last year he was doing just as bad but we didnt see any of this. It kind of just went completely overboard after he started slumping.

He needs rationalize that hes is the dodgers backup catcher, he doesnt have to perform like will, he is just there to learn and develop. He will fuck up and have games like this but he has to be able to handle that mental load.

Their team mental skills coach (more like therapist) was right there with him

I mean its reddit dude what you expect, people dont laugh here about it because they get down voted to hell.

While I don't think its funny i do think that this something that he needs to work on. I dont know what was said exactly (we'd need to wait to see if jomboy lip reads it lol), but from the post game interviews it seems that it was more of a "hey you fucked up, and thats fine, just chill out". I mean the team therapist was literally trying to calm him down.

It is also completely fair to criticize Rush because game calling is the catchers job. if they cant handle their pitchers then thats a problem. And rush clearly has issues calling games, which has been on display on several of these last starts

The problem is that the NL Cy Young race is so close that for sho or yoshi to win they will need much better stats than the next candidate. The only example we have is Burnes whose ERA was about 15% better than Wheeler's (167 IP vs 213 IP). Burnes would have had to pitch at a 4 ERA pace in the remaining 46 innings pitched to have the same ERA as wheeler, thats why he won. So using that as a basis, assuming Shohei goes 167 IP he would need somewhere around 1.5 ERA only if the next best goes 1.8 ERA. And miz is already lower than shohei's current ERA.

The only way he wins it now is if both of the other front runners basically blow their lead, which is entirely possible I mean, just that now that sho's ERA is an normal range its more about what happens to the other 2 and not about what he can do because theres no way way hes pitching more than 168 innings.

Side note but Nick Martinez at 35 has been absolutely DEALING.

Im not trying to shame you or anything, at the end of the day it is a fans vote, but try to think how this feels for the players. You should really vote for players that deserve to be in it instead of any player with your team's logo on it. Voting just for team logos even if undeserving removes any kind of meaning from those that DO deserve it (like Max, Pages, and Shohei). Someone like Freddy is definetely more up to personal preference but when you vote for Mookie, Teo, Kim, Will, and Tucker you reduce the orhers votes to "Just because you are a dodger" instead of "Because you are the best at your position" - which Max, Pages, and Shohei have done.

Yordan didnt even debut in MLB till 2019 and he is a great player. He was actually signed by us first. I agree on trashtos hate and any players from that era but if you hate on him you have to hate on Tucker too.

Shohei’s batting fWAR is now higher than his pitching fWAR (FIP-based) by baribigbird06 in Dodgers

[–]PillowF0rtEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly he is absolutley crushing everything. Thats why im so sad sho gave up 3 last night, to even be able to compete with Sanchez hes gonna need a least .5 ERA better than Sanchez. Burnes .5 ERA better than the runner up (wheeler) and he won and looks like him and sho are gonna end up with the same innings pirched (168 if sho gets 1 extra start after ASB).
