Re: The Votto Effect
Its just the case of analysis vs application. The analysis is sound its just being applied incorrectly. The whole objective of analytics was to find players who had skills to help teams win games (ie WAR). It has nothing to do with traditional stat categories. The "experts" are trying to apply analy...

Should have been Curt Flood instead. He took all the heat.

Re: Open Chat With Greg, Tom & Darik
The players have too much at risk to go about this haphazardly before sufficient facts are known. I can't blame them for being cautious.

Re: Rules for 2020
Much of the September stat volatility will be mitigated this year anyway with the mandatory 28-man rosters so this may likely become a moot point. Now Ohtani: well MLB is giving certain players pitcher and hitter designations in their feed now so the stats should be available. Correct me if I'm wron...

Re: Walking the Walk and Talking the Talk
I get what your saying. Walks are only good if they lead to runs and the pitcher has a lot to say about who gets walked. They used to say that Ted Williams shouldn't have taken so many walks, that he should have swung at more pitches to help his team win games. He would always say get a good ball to...

Re: Over Management vs. Trusting Aces
Pitching changes take about five minutes. There is the meeting on the mound. The walk of the reliever to the mound. The eight warmup pitches. If even only three relievers are summoned from each side, fans have still spent a half hour of their time at the ball park, not watching a single meaningful ...

Re: 1961 and 2017
Just like rock music peaked in 1973 (sorry Homer Jay Simpson not 1974) baseball peaked in the 1985 Series. I have a friend who's a Cardinal fan that still curses Don Denkinger. That '85 Cardinal team might have been the most fun to watch in my viewing history. John Tudor pitching was about as good a...

Re: During Record HR Year: Is The Baseball Juiced?
The seems are ridiculously tight in the majors now. I've got official MLB and NCAA balls -- both Rawlings. The seems on the NCAA ball are noticeably larger than the MLB ball. That may or may not matter, but there is definitely a difference in how these balls were stitched/manufactured.

How is Bethancourt being handled this year? Not that anyone would be using him right now, but he could be a test case for Otani.

Possibly something in his medicals? That delivery was always something the industry believed would cause arm problems at some point. Better to trade guys like that one year too early I guess.

Re: Congrats to the Cubs!
That rain delay couldn't have been better timed for the Cubs. Allowed them to breathe, relax and regroup. A gift from above maybe? Joe Buck's call was very disappointing. I know he's a Cardinal guy, but he should have said something commemorating the breaking of longest championship drought in histo...

Unless the teams were warned before the game or series started or carried over from the LA series. Still BS though.

Re: Pitch counts & Innings limits
Worse though is when they leave a guy in who is clearly gassed and then he loads the bases with no outs and then gets taken out and the bullpen lets all three runners score. Of the two, I'll take the quick yank.
