  1. I... actually do. Because the schedule works out that Skubal can pitch game 1 of the ALWCS, followed by games 2 and 5 of the ALDS. Weather can foil that plan though.
  2. It looks like home field advantage is worth a 3% bump in win probability per game. So you are increasing your chance of winning those games by that amount if you even win, but decreasing it by going with Skubal over bullpen day in one of the three games. I think the math for winning says save Skubal. The math for revenue says try to win the division.
  3. If the wild card is clinched but the division is in play, what would people do here? I say save Skubal.
  4. Against the team that passed them no less...
  5. 2003 adjacent...
  6. Anything with spin is just a problem.
  7. No rain delay upskirt from Johnny Kane tonight...
  8. Just sharing my bsky here since it answers the question.
  9. Anybody's feed crap out right before the homer? Errr... I guess it wasn't a homer, but a 2-run single.
  10. I think you have to go back to Game 3 against the Orioles in 2014 to find me as angry about a Tigers game as I am now.
  11. Kinetrax or similar technologies make it easier to learn how to face off against certain pitch shapes.
  12. If you have an organization that relies on teamwork and personalities maximizing performance, the slightest bit of distrust could permeate. I also suspect 6 all star bids also may have added some ego to the mix that wasn't there. Final theory: the league caught up to some of the pitch design things that Fetter and Co. had been doing.
  13. Part of me wonders what affect that Athletic report has had on this collapse. I know Menzin was the only baseball ops person, but maybe there was some additional fallout and strife behind the scenes after that article that has affected enough things on the periphery to add to the spiral.
  14. The option window is the first five days after the World Series. He isn't going to get the chance to make that evaluation.
  15. Been largely out of pocket since Wednesday morning... Not a bad time to be.
  16. I suspect Heuer was injured but wasn't logged in the Toledo transactions as several transactions haven't been. Can't outright an injured player, so released it is. Not sure they turn around and pick him back up, since free agency looks anyways.
  17. Why are they interviewing that couple in a 1-0 game with the division on the line?
  18. Championship Leverage Index of this game is 1.41. There have been a few games this year (such as the Toronto series in July) that are higher. Several of the late season games last year were higher as well. Trivia! What year prior to 2024 do you have to go back to in order to find a game with a higher Championship Leverage Index?
  19. You can trust minor league heigths now with the robozone https://blogs.fangraphs.com/lets-get-small-hundreds-of-minor-leaguers-have-shrunk/
  20. Dove into the comments. Fun stuff
  21. If we go 1-2 in the series, that seems like an in-between?
  22. Per transaction logs, Hurter up and Hanifee down.
