and you were right to do so! That's totally fair! Self awareness lags behind what others already know!

I've watched this gif so many times that I'm starting to question my own sanity.

I think they go hand in hand. And they both take time to consistent at. And one will breed the other in the process. In other team sports, great chemistry will often beat superior talent. That said, I think that the only real answer is... Yes.- 18 replies

Through 19 games, what are the strengths and weaknesses of this team?
wsnydes commented on cHawk's blog entry in cHawk’s Blog
I'd be very interested in an update at the 40 game mark. Especially if the starters continue their trend and offense continues to warm up. The quarter mark of the season is also a reasonable place to look at reasonable trends and what direction this team is really headed in. -
I think your first point is a good one. There's definitely a trickle down effect with pitchers not even being allowed to go deeper into games because of the success hitters have the third time around. It reiterates the mention of the number pitchers Juan Soto has already seen in 86 PAs versus how many Ted Williams saw over the course of an entire 600+ PA season. And I'm fully on board with your last statement.

Nice write-up! Interesting in-depth look at how the FO identifies a player they think they can get value out of both on the acquisition front and on the field. I think you see that with Joe Ryan as well. It doesn't seem like they're doing anything drastic, just minor tweaks or pitch mixes to make a guy more effective.

Great to see SWR continue to roll. That's quite the streak he's got going.

Door knob. I apparently neglected to include a key word there. -
I think the number of pitchers and their relative workload relationship is key to a lot of this. While I'm in favor of pitch clock, assuming it's actually enforced, I think that the already in place rules being enforced would also be helpful. And I wouldn't be opposed to adding a pitch clock even with the actual enforcement of the existing rules. Anything to speed up a pitchers pace would help reduce the max effort style of pitching, and ultimately improve action on the bases. And in my view, scoring. Whether that improves scoring or not, I don't know for sure. But at the very least it makes for a more interesting game when things are happening on the base paths.

I thought this was a good piece with some solid reasons why the bats have struggled league wide. Do you agree with Tom? Disagree? Have other factors to consider? Let TD know below! https://www.si.com/mlb/2022/04/28/mets-hbp-baseball-conspiracies-the-opener
