    Let's have Joey just stick with those two true outcomes.
  2. IndianaTwin
    Kramer getting his comeuppance...
  3. IndianaTwin
    That'll teach that ump for that first-inning call!

    It may show up, however, if you go to GoogleTranslate and select "Gladden-to-English" in the dropdown menu.

    The wheels on the Bux go 'round and 'round... (Sincerest apologies to any of you with kids who now have an earworm started.)
  6. IndianaTwin
    Has he been hanging out with Gladden too much?
  7. IndianaTwin
    And Orioles Daily goes nuts after leaving the bases loaded...

    As things line up, Ryan is scheduled for the 9th, so it would be easy to name him and then have him replaced because of having pitched on previous Sunday. But yeah, I could see it being just Duran.
  9. IndianaTwin
    I think it's often on the Sunday preceding the Sunday preceding, so Sunday.

    Mullins fresh off the IL after a groin injury.

    Ugh. Back to .500.
  12. IndianaTwin
    Batting average of .600 through five! And a RISPy 1.000!
  13. IndianaTwin
    Batting average of .500 through four!

    Correa single -- woo-hoo, team meeting!
  15. IndianaTwin
    It's a pretty small sample size, just 56 plate appearances. I'm assuming that his 14 GIDP in those situations is well above the average, but again, SSS. It's SSS on this too, but the same splits page lists his sOPS+ as 98, which means that his OPS within 2 percent of league average in this situation. For what it's worth, his tOPS+ is 115 in that situation, which means that he's hitting 15 percent better in those situations than he is in his plate appearances as a whole. I agree that Correa is woefully underperforming expectations. I just don't find GIDP a particularly helpful stat.

    Then how about saying, "For starters, Correa leads the AL in double plays grounded into, and he's already approaching his career high"? That actually tells me that he's underperforming his expectations. Saying that he's leading the league while batting in the middle of the order doesn't tell me that -- the league leader is almost always in the middle of the order.

    From the OP: ...For starters, Correa leads the American League in double plays grounded into. That is a brutal stat for a player to have in the middle of the lineup.... ------------------------------------ Actually, it's not. The league leaders in GIDP almost always match Correa's profile. Guys with a lot of at bats, who aren't particularly fast, who hit the ball hard enough for the infield to turn two, who aren't the biggest strikeout offenders... And the thing is, if you do all those things, a lot of the balls those guys hit go through the infield and over the infielders as line drives. Here's your list of career leaders in GIDP. I'll be glad if Correa ends up on this list:

    It was pretty much a hard day's night.

    Injury updates: Thielbar cleared to play catch. Polanco almost ready to start hitting. Plans are for a rehab assignment. And for those who've missed it. DeLeon gets TJS. Big-time bummer for him. I always root for those who work their way back to be effective, which is where he seemed to be headed.

    Rosario misses the cutoff man to let a runner advance. Who woulda thunk it?
  22. IndianaTwin
    The last time Stewart has come in with the team down was May 19. Since then, always tied or ahead.
  23. IndianaTwin
    Not sure what to say next.
  24. IndianaTwin
    Except Acuna probably would have stolen second. But yeah, first base was open. EDIT: You say Ozuna, I say Acuna... That'll teach me not to try reconciling my checkbook while listening to a game.

    Used to watch lots of Atlanta games on the Superstation. Didn't see this live, but it remains one of the greatest calls in the history of broadcasting:
