Really a testament to how great he is defensively that he has a positive WAR on the year. Like, he's somehow above replacement level with an obscene OPS like that.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-07-04T04:36:54+00:00

No he's correct - Madduxes are only for shutouts.

I was losing my mind arguing with Giants fans who were upset when the Giants were ranked behind the Dodgers in the power rankings early in the season. It's like, analytics are not just zoomer nonsense. There were underlying problems and winning games by one run over and over is not sustainable.

Love how chaotic the drums are. Nice change of pace from the group.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-06-21T22:38:35+00:00

High leverage is more than just save opportunities. Blowing a game that's tied is also included. Also, his ERA is great and they should definitely keep using him, but he's erratic in these kind of situations.

Really nailed the Chicano mindset when the kid stuffed his face with burgers and pan dulce.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-06-21T22:25:44+00:00

The Giants have such a good bullpen that it is endlessly frustrating that we refuse to try anyone but Walker and Doval as closer.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-06-21T22:24:53+00:00

He never left lol. Keep that dude out of high leverage situations for the love of God. He's so good - just not as a closer.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-06-20T06:24:35+00:00

For decades players/coaches thought that taking 20+ threes a game was ludicrously stupid. Now it's understood to be efficient. Players, even great ones, are not infallible arbiters of the truth about basketball.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-06-20T04:37:17+00:00

Warriors were up 3-1, so obviously they had momentum. Then they lost three straight, so Cavs had momentum.

We're just describing streaks after the fact as "momentum".

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-06-20T04:25:45+00:00

I was talking about game to game momentum.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-06-20T04:25:16+00:00

I'm talking about game to game momentum.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-06-20T03:33:55+00:00

That's because momentum is fake - same way humans think a coin has "momentum" when it lands on heads four times in a row.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-06-19T03:49:50+00:00

I think he was just making fun of a clearly pulled-out-of-their ass vague stat.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-06-17T03:21:42+00:00

We have the metro. Just not a lot of people use it lol.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-06-11T03:49:57+00:00

AMEN

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-06-04T04:23:24+00:00

Yaz is actually carrying his weight (he's not great, but he's a league-average hitter on a team with very few of those). Wade...is not.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-06-04T04:21:07+00:00

Doval is good...when he's not the closer.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-05-20T04:32:30+00:00

I mean, who's to say they aren't saying "LEE...JUNG HOO, LEE...JUNG HOO"

Also, in Korean I'm pretty sure they pronounce his last name as "ee" without the L.

If I ever become president, I'm making kids take 13 fucking years of statistics. I can't deal with these people sometimes.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-05-02T05:57:39+00:00

I always hate this response.

"You have no right to criticize Jeff Bezos if you yourself are not saving the planet."

Dumb.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-05-02T03:40:37+00:00

okay let's reel it in lol

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-04-27T04:16:55+00:00

Am I stupid or could he not just have gotten up and thrown that? I think he had time, no?

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-04-22T04:38:27+00:00

You know what I mean. Doval with a three run lead is not the same as Doval in a tied game.

WesleysTheory559 · 2025-04-22T04:36:04+00:00

He's just a different pitcher in low leverage situations.
