    Agreed, but SWR is a pitcher, not a hitter, so that is a different argument.
  2. mnfireman
    While this is true, last years 12 play-off teams all had pitchers start at least 10 games (1/3 of the season) with an ERA of 4.50 or higher, 9 of 12 had pitchers start 10 or more games with an ERA of over 5.00 (Perez would have made it 10/12 but he snuck under with a starters ERA of 4.98). Even good MLB teams struggle to fill all 5 rotation spots with quality starters. And remember a "Quality Start" translates to a 4.50 ERA ( 6 IP, 3 ER).

    As it does with most MLB teams 4th and 5th starters.
  4. mnfireman
    Possibly, though Detroit is the 2nd best staff in MLB by ERA and WHIP and best by AVG against while the ChiSox are near the bottom in MLB in those same categories.

    The team is hitting better as of late, a .245/.300/.417 (.717 OPS) slash line over the last 7 days, good for 7th in the AL and 13th in MLB. Compare this to an overall .205/.285/.349 (.634 OPS) season line, good for 13th in the AL and 27th overall and maybe they have started to figure things out and make adjustments.

    If the team wants to keep him stretched out as a starter, he needs to go to St. Paul to work on things and get his confidence back. Otherwise send him to the BP. Either way, SWP should be next man up.
  7. mnfireman
    Well, his stats are right in line with the guy they traded (Polanco)....
  8. mnfireman
    Ober since his first start implosion: 3 GS, 17 IP, 2 ER, 16/3 K/BB, 1.06 ERA, Opp. BA .140. Not sustainable, but success he can build off.

    Missed strike 3 call gives Tigers 2 runs, frustrating to say the least.
  10. mnfireman
    Which is why I double-check the ball/strike calls on Baseball Savant.
  11. mnfireman
    Nope, it was a terrible throw, short of HP and up the 3B line. And by rule, Vazquez HAS to give the runner a lane.
  12. mnfireman
    Larnach!!

    Anyone still think Julien is an "average" MLB 2B??
  14. mnfireman
    True and I wish him continued success, but we have seen Berrios dominate like this over 4 or 5 starts in the past, only to string together 4 or 5 absolutely horrible starts. He will probably end up around his career averages of 14-10 W/L, 4.08 ERA.
  15. mnfireman
    How about 6-0....
  16. mnfireman
    Time for Varland to take an extended vacation in St. Paul.
  17. mnfireman
    That was all him, however...
  18. mnfireman
    He's mostly played CF, just needs to remember who's standing to his left.
  19. mnfireman
    Not totally his fault, if Julien makes that easy play Varland gives up nothing...
  20. mnfireman
    Same as what Santana is going to give the team tonight...
  21. mnfireman
    Martin and Margot, who'd a thunk....
  22. mnfireman
    Tommy John started 31 games, threw 207 innings with an ERA of 3.09 the year after his surgery (which is now named after him), that should be the bar for success...
  23. mnfireman
    The runner failed to advance on a "deep enough" fly ball...
  24. mnfireman
    Not a fan of his, but for $3 MM..... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/04/white-sox-to-re-sign-mike-clevinger.html

    Might be why SWR is pitching on the same schedule as Paddack.
