    95 MPH? Radar gun in Detroit must be faster than the one in Pawtucket last week.

    Why do I cringe when Cave dives for a ball in front of him? Must be just my imagination, that anything could go wrong.

    No meatballs, Duffey. OK?

    It's said that certain pitchers never give in to the batter. Well, this umpire is giving in to this pitcher: Garver and now Field on consecutive at bats are put in a 0-1 hole on very marginal pitches.
  5. ashbury
    Does that speak to the pitcher's craftiness, or to the manager not putting him in when a run would matter?

    The HBP was a pitch that got away, but for the most part I saw Stewart burying pitch after pitch low in the zone or below it, trying to induce bad swings. What I mentioned before, the lack of a high hard strike, speaks to his stuff more than command. I'm no scout, though...

    Not nice, but I know you can take it.

    Also, Kohl probably envies those who are wrathful.

    Some pitchers' sole purpose in life on earth is to be shown up by their manager.
  10. ashbury
    He just pitched in a major league game, so the Commissioner will be phoning shortly if Stewart's not already on the 40.

    Looks like he's going to have to settle for Envy as his cardinal sin for this game.

    FTFY

    What did Ehire just do there???
  14. ashbury
    I wish Kohl had a rising four-seam fastball. Watching Iglesias lunge and spoil all those low two-strike pitches makes me want Garver to just put down one finger and let 'er rip, letters high. Guess it's not there.

    According to b-r.com Duffey's middle name is Blinn. I don't know where you're getting your information from.

    It's been a good couple of innings but let's wait and see. Innings eating is more than that.

    To be on base when LoFor hits a single?
  18. ashbury
    Brian will speak for himself I'm sure, but I'm also sure that Brian means almost the exact opposite of this statement.
  19. ashbury
    I'm partial to the structure of home runs.
  20. ashbury
    What's your plan for that 5th chance? A home run every time?
  21. ashbury
    Fer sher. I'm tossing out the Not Meeting Expectations review I got from Boss A and Exceeding Expectations from Boss B, too.

    It's why you can do some forecasting from a player's record but it requires care and is hardly an exact science. Throw out the player's best season so far. Every player has a Career Year. Sometimes that Career Year happens at AA, and fools you. LoMo had his, last year, and to my surprise it fooled the analytics team here. Throw out the player's worst season. He was probably dinged up. Maybe throw out another bad season too, on the same grounds. More than that, and maybe dinged-up is his place in this world. What you have left, which for prospects may be only a little bit, you can try to extrapolate from, factoring in age and competition level at each step. Eduardo Escobar was the example I liked to use, back earlier in his career - he had a stinker season or two, but who knows why. The talent for a career was there. LoMo is probably somewhere between 2017 and 2018, too.

    How much rust do you think a player accumulates, playing regularly in the International League? We probably should terminate our working agreement with Rochester, and for sure get Buxton somewhere else pronto.
  24. ashbury
    How many levels have you lost at work?
  25. ashbury
    No doubt we'll soon see Rochester trading away veterans like Andy WIlkins and Ryne Harper to the likes of Toledo and Indianapolis, for prospects, before the next trading deadline.
