    Fitting that he finds his efficiency with rain approaching to make sure this becomes an official game

    I just flipped on the Saints, and the first thing I see is old frenemy Manny Margot moonlighting as a Mud Hen! I think I should just stop watching baseball for the night

    Hey, it might get Brewer fans excited for the series. They buy tickets too, and Joe P's haircuts don't pay for themselves!

    If they're gonna get lit up tonight, at least let Elly go off so at least my fantasy team can benefit
  5. The Great Hambino
    REALLY!?!?! I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!!!!! Two different teams that aren't the Twins have benefited from elements of a less than three year old trade. Like I said, I could've worded it better
  6. The Great Hambino
    I don't think the Reds were too disappointed with his 2023 season
  7. The Great Hambino
    Reds and Rangers ... I could've worded that better

    You know a trade didn't work out for you when it's less than three years old, two teams have benefited from the trade, and you're not one of those teams

    Given the presence of 10 CBs on the roster (11 if you count Tavierre Thomas listed as DB) and Flores' affinity for positional flexibility, my money is on them doing exactly that

    Isn't GWRBI the GWRBI of metrics? Seriously though, the ignoring of defense bothers me because they don't have to ignore it. They have metrics that show the percentage chance a batted ball is converted into an out. They could use this to allocate the WPA change on a play between pitcher and fielder. Say the batter's out on a batted ball that's an out 95% of the time, a pretty routine play. 95% of the change can be allocated to the pitcher, and the balance to the fielder. On the flip side, if the fielder makes an outstanding play on a ball that's an out only 5% of the time, then only 5% gets allocated to the pitcher and most of the credit goes to the fielder. As it is, all the credit goes to the pitcher either way. Not sure why they don't do it. Maybe it isn't a huge difference in large samples, maybe the underlying % chance metrics aren't reliable themselves, maybe no one sees it as worth the time since it's not predictive. But it would be a better, more interesting statistic if they did.

    It's strange how this grace given in comical amounts when catching the ball, but not when throwing it. Like you said, only the most basic of fielding mistakes gets called an error, but a 200 ft laser on the money from the outfield that happens to clip the runners foot and skip away is an error every time. It's enough to make me discount, if not disregard completely, any error-based metric for fielding.

    They certainly have found a very schizophrenic way to be average What exactly do they think will happen if they let Coulombe go out for another inning after throwing like four pitches? Will he spontaneously combust?
  13. The Great Hambino
    Punto wasn't available
  14. The Great Hambino
    You should be able to swap your baserunners with each other once a game. Like castling in chess
  15. The Great Hambino
    Getting closed out by Pagan is a nice cherry on this sundae
  16. The Great Hambino
    It'll all make sense when Bride comes in to save the day in the 8th
  17. The Great Hambino
    Jeez, this really got outta hand during bedtime No hits through 3, can't finish the fourth. Pretty on brand
  18. The Great Hambino
    Do your allotted pickoff attempts reset with the next batter?
  19. The Great Hambino
    MLB.tv and the Twins are on the same page today

    You can't have a girlfriend unless it's family related?
  22. The Great Hambino
    To clarify, I mean the emo rocker, not the emo poster
  23. The Great Hambino
    At this point I might give Pete a try
  24. The Great Hambino
    Must've grabbed the Sex Panther instead of the Dior by mistake
  25. The Great Hambino
    The radar projection I'm seeing shows the reds and yellows avoiding the ballpark, but not by much. Hopefully they win that coin flip
