    Re-sign and then trade? Interesting strategy.

    Dick: Gibson has retired the last 5 men. Ashbury: If you count a double play as retiring two.

    CRON !!!!

    Buxton, May 18, Seattle. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SEA/SEA201905180.shtml / edit - ninjad while I was researching.

    Polanco fortunate to not get tagged out at third.

    Pro tip: order your steak medium-rare, your crème brûlée well done.

    I appreciate that Perkins has always been analytically inclined. That, however, doesn't mean he is capable of doing actual, valuable, analysis.

    Tailor-made DP. No problem.

    I can see the logic of not throwing strikes to this Tigers team, given that they swing at pitches outside of the zone so readily. However, it needs to be swing and miss stuff, which isn't happening so far tonight.

    "Bullpen activity for the Tigers," after only 6 runs?

    This is like in soccer. Injured to the point of incapacitation one moment, scoring a goal the next!

    I turn my attention away for a second, and have literally no idea which player is being discussed. "Ya can't tell the Castros without a scorecard, Mistah!"

    Ladies and gentlemen: C.J. Cron, Rally Killer. I keed, I keed. Just so long as we score another 4 in the second inning.

    You can ... ask. http://i43.tinypic.com/27zi1w0.jpg

    My only qualm is, "what if there's a bird strike?" Captain Sully is still back there on the runway.

    Those are not common, even for a first place team. Houston's the only team to have done it this year. Three teams (Boston, Pittsburgh, Houston) did it last year. "Just a single one"? Pretty high bar to set.

    I only know how to do it one player at a time: for each, you can go to their baseball-reference.com "game log" page for 2019 and scroll down to the end of the list. Kepler's for example: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=keplema01&t=b&year=2019 The team's 75-46 when he plays. Subtract that from the team's 82-51 record, and they are 7-5 when he's out. On that page, you can sort on the Innings column, if you want to manually weed out (or focus on) the times where only a partial game is played - Max is 4-2 in games where he comes in during the game. For most players on the team, you end up with Small Sample Size, so the value is questionable. The value for Buxton is questionable too, but it's a cherry-picker's delight, and I for one am continually delighted by it.

    Conversely, unless he is viewed as someone special, there will be no shortage of guys to cover for him as of Sept 1 and provide equivalent production, if you really want that roster spot for someone fresh.

    They can't quite justify using a 737, or even an Embraer regional jet. Here is the equipment they use for the route:

    Maybe allow half-measures in this instance, and go with Wally Pipp's Disease. Which, since Byron suffers from migraines, is a little too close to the truth, so never mind.
  21. ashbury
    These two sentences seem to be at odds with one another. Didn't he give up a sharp double in his inning yesterday? It seems like I'm always looking away when he's being lights-out-ey, and when I watch he's laboring. Against a better team than the White Sox I still anticipate run scoring whenever he's in the game.
  22. ashbury
    And this is too much Penn.
  23. ashbury
    GARVER !!!!
  24. ashbury
    SCHOOP !!!! I guess that will serve as insurance.
  25. ashbury
    Glunn not being present, I guess I'll be the one to ask for a few insurance runs here.
