    I may have underestimated our total.
  2. Nine of twelve
    Nice!
  3. Nine of twelve
    That must be near the top exit velo of the season.
  4. Nine of twelve
    Oops.
  5. Nine of twelve
    Keep calm. We are on our way to a 14-3 win.
  6. Nine of twelve
    I like 1/3 of this.

    Concur. If sarcasm was intended.

    In other words, Wrigley is great except for the ballpark.
  9. Nine of twelve
    And don't forget the rest rooms. Eeeeeeeew.

    Concur. It's better to see a game in a nice boring stadium than in a grossly-overrated dump.

    Witness the 2017 Dodgers. From August 26 through September 11 they went 1-16. Mind you, they still finished at 104-58.

    Sorry to nitpick but I have to correct a very common misconception. Cold air is more dense than warm air, thereby providing more resistance to an object moving through it, but humid air is less dense than dry air, thereby providing less resistance to an object moving through it. Edit: this is one of the reasons that Atlanta is a good place for home run hitters. Summer weather is generally warm and humid plus it sits at the second highest elevation in the majors. Another edit: Phoenix is about 30' higher than Atlanta. So Atlanta is third.

    This is a question that someone who is a significant player on this site should ask Derek Falvey.

    I would go even further and say holy **** or even holy ****.
  15. Nine of twelve
    Yeah, it's been kind of disheartening. They've been losing a game once a week, sometimes twice.
  16. Nine of twelve
    I saw none of this game. All I have to say is what the ****? How is it that this offense can keep doing this? (Maybe it can't, but it's still mind-boggling.)

    He was shifted frequently, probably more than any other batter back then.

    These posts reflect something I've said before and I'll say again. The goal of the front office should be to field a major league team that can contend for the postseason and a world championship. Every year. As major league players move on, whether due to retirement, trade, or free agency, it's necessary to have major-league-ready replacements in the system. This requires system-wide success, especially in scouting and player development. This is not easy, especially for a mid-market team. Falvine are less than three years in, and it takes longer than that to truly establish this, but things appear to be trending this way.

    Urk. I just had a Pelfrey flashback.

    DicknLaTroy talking about Hrbek, wondering if he's in a boat somewhere. Even Hrbek is smart enough to know you don't go out on a boat during a strong wind advisory.

    So this Trout guy who hit that home run. Is he any good?

    It's worse than that. The starters are the most popular and a significant number of reserves are the least mediocre players on bad teams. Here's my proposal (which has no chance of coming to pass): Two players at each defensive position plus two DH's. Nine pitchers. The DH is always used. Players are selected via some sort of statistical formula including games through the Sunday nine days before the game. The formula would be different for each position, for example defense would be more important for SS, CF and C. There would be no requirement for each team to have one player on the roster. Starters play the first four innings, the other players plays the other 5 (or 4 if the home team leads after 8.5).Each pitcher pitches one inning. If it's tied after 9 it's a tie, because the game is just for fun. This would be a true All-Star game, not the travesty that currently masquerades as such. *Steps off soapbox and prepares to be pelted with overripe tomatoes*

    This is the formula for a great year. Have good players with most of them performing at their ceilings.

    Odorizzi lost at least two third strikes to poor pitch calling. I don't recall any calls where pitches outside the zone were called strikes. That required him to throw more pitches than he should have had to throw, and I'm certain that this was a big factor in the decision to pull him after five.
