    Pretty good outfield defense by the Mariners might be the difference in the score at the moment.

    Yeah, I thought that exception only applied when the starter failed to go 5. But the link you provided is clear. Still, last night's case was at the very borderline of where that exception is intended. The provided link gave a much worse example as the intent. All in all, I think it's fine, as long as it's consistently applied, and it is an edge case anyway. W-L record for relievers is even less reliable as an indicator than it is for starters in the modern game.

    Adorable. Kirilloff thinks that the patch of facial hair will disguise the baby face.

    So many words here being used in ways I'm not familiar with.

    Good try, but Murphy's Law has an intersection with Jinxes and I believe what you just did qualifies as jinxing the good guys instead.

    You're not new here. C'mon.

    Really good route there by Teoscar to deny Willi.

    Well, as the Norwegian dog said, woof-da. But Lopez survived the first, more or less.

    Upgraded to B- for the repeated full counts. But can't be higher, with only one run to blame him for.

    C+ jinx. Pending the current bases-loaded no-out situation of course.

    Baseball Trash Talk. I think you could market a podcast with that theme.

    Putting himself in the running for the coveted MLB Dumbass of the Week award. Who are the other nominees?

    Whoa, getting salty on the broadcast microphone with Trevor there in the booth with him. You know the mic is hot, right, Dick?

    Hawt taek of the day.

    When we lose in the 2027 post-season I do not want Duran out there collecting the save in the final game. When we win the 2027 World Series I want Duran closing out that last game. Either scenario, Duran's on my no-trade list, regardless of the 2023 benefits.

    He's young, scrappy and hungry. One thing we know for sure, Xander's not throwing away his shot! Bet he never gets tired of the reference.

    The fun of BTV is it tries to think like a GM, taking into account remaining contract cost as well as talent. For a variety of reasons it can be way off. But it's an interesting way to start the thought process. BTV would suggest we could snag Goldschmidt for a motley collection headlined by Blaine Enlow and Junior Severino and Yasser Mercedes. What BTV doesn't/can't take into account, with top-end talent, is the "we've got him and you don't" factor. Yeah, Goldie is in his decline phase and has a considerable salary attached to him. So what? "You want him, or not?" say the Cardinals. "No skin off our nose. We still like him., and we're not writing off 2024 The Yankees have been asking about him, though."

    SDI is itself a "bringing together" of several independent metrics. This makes it a worse mishmash than OPS, on the other hand it smooths out the outliers. Anyone who doesn't like SDI will dislike its components even more, and for good and consistent reasons. Defense is cursed with smaller samples sizes than the offense, so it's an unsolvable problem. But the eye test is also an unsolvable problem for different reasons. We just have to muddle through, and accept that consensus will be hard to reach. Or, we can, you know, be at each others' throats about it.

    Especially considering SDI is nowadays a portion of how Gold Gloves are awarded. I guess the OP's point is that some players have moved up since earlier rankings this year.
