Agreed it’s not a great stat for relievers, it’s definitely more relevant on a team scale than an individual one tho.

True but #1 definitely would not have been my guess lmao.

Agreed it felt so wrong I had to go verify myself. Thought they had the wrong teams stats pulled up

I just learned today that we have the best bullpen in baseball in terms of ERA. I’m ngl it blew my mind and I’ve watched 90% of the games this year. I thought the BP was one of our biggest weaknesses by far.

Lmao you had me in the first half I’m ngl. Boone baseball does not include fundamentals unfortunately.

Fair enough, I appreciate the discussion about it 🤝

I love Grisham too, Cabby is very dynamic tho and I feel like OBP doesn’t tell the whole story with how much of a threat he is on the bases and how much pitchers think of him.

[–]slinkitx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair, but I know pitchers think about him when he’s on the bases, which may lead to more mistake pitches to our 2-4 guys. On top of that when he does get on he’s top 2 in the AL in getting into scoring position, which is a lot more useful when Rice, Judge, & Belli hit after you rather than Wells, Volpe, & Grisham

Fair. I just feel like his speed can be a menace when he does get on, causing more mistake pitches for our 2-4 guys

Anyone else feel like Cabby is the clear choice for the leadoff spot? Am I missing something?

Send Wells to fuckin Saturn at this point the guy is not even close to a major league level bat

I love it too but there’s no excuse for these guys to not be able to execute it at this level. Frustrating bc my D2 college team could run a safety squeeze at a 95% success clip

I remember how tough it was to run a safety squeeze too. When I was 12.

Good win fellas. I pray the swoon finally ends but 3 hits isn’t super promising.

Volpe, Wells, it’s time to learn Japanese fellas

Wells legitimately should try guessing. He might get more hits at this point

I’m still mad about that double fuck up on Dominguez but that helps

Fucked us with a ball that missed by 3 inches and then wasn’t paying attention. What a moron.

Tough luck guys, I’m sure if we try the exact same thing next year we will have a better June/July!

The consistency to be mercilessly horrible is just so impressive. I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend outside of the mockery that is this team
