Folty just needed a few starts to shake the rust off. Last 6 starts: 34 IP, 3.97 ERA, 4.08 xFIP, 9 K/9, 2.65 BB/9. HR rate is still not where you want it to be, but you can tell Folty is coming around.

I hope the nats bring Corbin back on short rest. We've hit lhp well this year, and I'm hopeful snit gets the extra RHH in the lineup like vs matz
TheThe is on the level of Shanks with his love for MadBum. lol It's just not good.

The bad results of this latest start doesn't mean Bumgarner is a bad pitcher any more than the good results of some of his earlier starts meant he was a TOR guy.
Most of the stats folks look at simply aren't predictive, and people like tehteh and misstake7 routinely try to use them in a predictive manner despite having it explained and proven to them repeatedly.
Bumgarner's xwOBA is now sitting at .343. That is a back end SP, no matter what narrative fans want to build around him. He is fine for filling in the back of a rotation, but he is not a guy that a team should be willing to give up a package of Newk and Fried to acquire, and he is not a guy a team should be extending for 6ish years.
How many times do these same posters have to argue from a position of ignorance, and be proven wrong, before they realize they don't know much?

Wrong.
Gausman xwOBA: .324
Bumgarner xwOBA: .343
Gausman FIP: 4.13
Bumgarner FIP: 4.20
Please stop arguing from a position of extreme ignorance.
You are, like many others, letting Bumgarner's overall results in an extreme pitchers' park incorrectly skew your valuation of him.

I can't remember any other bets besides the Camargo one. Mous WAR vs Camargo WAR last year, correct?
So yes, you won the bet in 2018, but I was ultimately correct about Camargo long term claiming he is a bench player.
Just like dumb luck for a single season can make a player look good, dumb luck can make you right for a short period of time.
I'm also going to guess the other times you won was simply because I didn't allow for enough of a sample size.

friend sent me a headline mentioning the Phillies pursuing Bauer...the proposed return for the Indians for Bauer?
Mickey Moniak. that's it.
