The score is 5-3... We are behind... It's the 7th inning... This is me.

Welcome to another Game Thread. A few thoughts:   Big Momentum Shift Game   This is a big game today.  The Super Rosario homer last night was a turning point. It seemed like the lineup was able to rel

Well, last night we discussed lemon-flavored magnesium citrate. It will certainly give you some get-up-and-go.

I had to look up the definition of Shtick:

 

one's special trait, interest, or activity

 

Curveball's could be a shtick. 

Birdwatching could be a shtick.

Telling people how terrible someone is over and over again could be a shtick. 

 

This has been my first time calling out Harper ever. Relax.

I know it's fun to be a homer and pretend everything is fine, but look at Harper's recent stats from an objective point of view. He's given up 10 runs in his past 18 innings. Teams are catching onto him. 

You giving lessons on objectivity

I promise I will. 

 

But in return... I request that you review your own stats and take notice of the percentage of "this blows" "he sucks" and "the season is over" posts.

Now that I've looked Harper's up, I also want to find out how many times our relievers gave up more than one run in an outing:

 

(pitcher - appearances / # of times given up more than 1 run (percentage))

 

Harper - 42 / 3 (7%)

Rogers - 36 / 1 (2.8%)

May - 40 / 5 (12.5%)

Parker - 34 / 4 (11.8%)

Magill - 28 / 4 (14.3%)

Duffey - 27 / 3 (11.1%)

Morin - 23 / 1 (4.3%)

Hildenberger - 19 / 6 (31.6%)

Mejia - 13 - 4 (30.8%)

 

(this does not count unearned runs, so for example, Magill's 6 run outing yesterday didn't count)

Sano has been pretty incredible at the plate lately.

Certainly appears as though something has begun clicking for him lately. Almost seems like a different hitter than he did not all that long ago.

 

Whatever it is, I hope he stays on top of it!

The homerism or pretending is not the issue, we’re just trying to have a good time in here.

 

You can criticize, and still make it fun. (Bat signal to LaBombo...)

Stupid facts getting in the way of a false narrative.
