Fair point. Owners don’t like being fined either way. Maybe a better way to say it is that it’s possible to build a winning team without all the...
He’s obviously great at building a winning team. The Astros had some serious organizational issues during his tenure. I’m not sure if he created...
Don’t get too far ahead of things. The Astros still have to win one more and have lost 2 in a row many times. I wouldn’t count out the Phillies...
He’s had at least 3 just miss in the last few games too.
That was me and I am happy to have been really wrong.
In September I said it was still Biggio, but Altuve was going to pass him before he was done. I didn’t think it would be this soon :)
He really wasn't though. He had 1 really good year in 2017 and was modestly positive in 2016 and 2016. There was a big drop off this year, but...
Baseball Savant doesn’t agree with you: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/martin-maldonado-455117?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb He’s...
What does that have to do with Dusty forcing a catcher on JV? JV has expressed a desire for personal catchers over his career (one of them being...
I’m not arguing Maldy is better than Diaz. I’ve said repeatedly I wish Diaz played more in the regular season. I’m pointing out on the...
His bad defensive metrics are basically all from framing. His other defensive metrics are above average. Diaz is also poor at framing and would...
I meant the lack of plate discipline, not the swing itself. I might have used the wrong term. Baseball Savant has him in the 1 percentile for...
Lack of playing time and he is still a rookie that has holes in his swing / will chase junk. The one thing Maldy does better offensively is take a...
I’d agree Dubon over Pena with Chas and Brantley in the OF would be the best combo of offense/defense. That said benching your everyday...
“Momentum is the next days starting pitcher”. Seriously though the Rangers had won 7 post season games in a row as of 2 days ago. Things can...
I thought Maldy sucked at framing.
They scored 10+ runs and followed it by 10+ multiple times this season. One of those was 13, 14, and 12 against the Rangers. There is no curse.
The ball seems to carry more with the roof open in general. It's not that much warmer outside today though.
Apparently the Phillies offense can be shutdown every once in a while.
He has been. He's also a flyball pitcher that doesn't generate a ton of strikeouts against a team that hits a lot of HR in a park that has a high...
