    A little?

    Remember when everyone touted Monitor as this tremendous base running guru who would gain us all kinds of runs on the bases as a manager? Those were the days.

    Gattis looks looks like he should swing an axe bat too

    Closed circuit to Duff: shed the necklace
  5. Willihammer
    Please don't make polanco bunt

    With Gomez the Twins and Gardy had a preconceived idea that since was fast, he should be a slap hitter. But that's not who he was. Read the Dozier article on fangraphs. Finding out who you are as a hitter is important. Its still not clear to me what kind of hitter Buxton is, I doubt he knows. I suspect he is more of a slugger than a Revere, Willy Mays Hayes type, but less than Gomez. Right now the Twins seem to be molding him into a power/speed combo with a long swing and a lot of bunting, and neither of them is working.

    Any recommendations for market podcasts? I listen to Learning Markets, which is great, but they're only ~15 mins each.

    Eh hem. What if a well below average looking male made that association? http://media3.giphy.com/media/RytO3f9CSqL2U/giphy.gif

    Thank god we sac bunted the runner over first.
  11. Willihammer
    Buxton has to feel about 2 foot tall about now.

    Haha the Rays giveaway to kids 14 and under... I always wanted one of these when I was a lad
  13. Willihammer
    What do we think, TD. Does this Snell kid have a future?
  14. Willihammer
    Late on the fastball, hopeless against the breaking ball. Would someone, anyone, coach this kid.
  15. Willihammer
    IIRC Sano had a sure HR taken away by the catwalk earlier this year.
  16. Willihammer
    How do you get Dozier out anymore?
  17. Willihammer
    Im gonna buy a Rays Jersey so I can look 17 again.

    Mainly I was pointing out that Ricky's pitched for some lousy defensive teams. Since defense and BABIP are related it seems logical that some proportion of his ERA-xFIP gap would be explained by defense.
  19. Willihammer
    The difference in DEF scores in that frame is 139.5. I don't know what a statistically significant variation would be for the number of IP. Maybe a quarter run isn't enough to come to any conclusions.

    Looking more into this xFIP-ERA P Alan Busenitz- since 2014 Angels starters have outperformed xFIP by .29 runs/game. Weaver, Santiago, Tropeano, and Heaney have outperformed the most. Interestingly they are all fly ball guys. Richards has also outperformed it being an extreme ground ball guy. Shoemaker being a 50/50 guy, has matched his ERA to his xFIP. Since 2014 Twins starters have underperformed xFIP by .54 runs/game. May (+1.52, 40.6% FB), Nolasco (+1.21, 36.4% FB) Duffey (+1.08, 28.6% FB) Hughes (+.34, 40.4% FB) Santana (-.56 runs/9. 36.7% FB) Since 2014 the Angels have had the 3rd best defense, the Twins the 3rd worst. Roughly 100-150 runs separated them. Actually between 2006-2013 the Marlins defense was pretty bad too, 4th worst. Safe to say that a significant portion of Ricky's xFIP-ERA underperformance is defense-related IMO.

    He has been, in terms of actual runs allowed. By ERA he's a #3 (I'm looking at the 152 starters who have thrown at least 200 IP since 2014). By xFIP he's 4th from last, a fringy #5. Pretty interesting trade really, a chronic xFIP underperformer for an overperformer.

    Ah, cheer up amigo http://cdn1.bostonmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Pizza.gif

    Milone to pen is a long time coming IMO.
  25. Willihammer
    Good. Who's the last pitcher who gave us a shot at 8-9 k's in a start? Way too early to give up on Duff.
