    Don't worry about it. Heyward started out slow in 2013 and even after his appendectomy it took him awhile to get going again. From June 1st until he got hit in the face he hit 297/373/498 -871. 201 ISO which is about what you would expect from him before the injury. Like you I have no doubt they Heyward would have continued to beast that season as he got over his surgery. But people see what they want to see.

    At least a Dodgers/Yankees world series should get some good ratings.

    Definitely can only be good for baseball. I'm just peeved that we didn't get that epic Indians/Astros series. Dodgers/Yankees should be a great WS though, if the Astros don't mount a comeback.

    True. Dodgers and Yankees would be the 2nd and 3rd best teams (by run differential) going against each other. Can't really complain about that.

    I hate the cubs. They’re down 3 games to none and acting a fool after a homerun. Hope they get swept

    You follow the various sites more closely than I do. Is there a big difference between Gameday and Statcast on pitch velocity or are they one and the same? Wood's velocity seems down tonight. Not getting much above 90 and seems to be pitching backwards to get an extra foot of perceived speed on his fastball.

    Game day gets its data directly from statcast.

    Woods stuff has been declining from opening day, so his lack of velo doesn't surprise me.

    If this crap happened to the braves, I’d be livid. It’s the cubs though, so haha
    Swanson sucks

    I saw a snippet on the MLB network when Wood was on his impressive run and one of the primary reasons for his success is that he was throwing a 4-seamer high in the zone and sometimes hitting 95. But I followed a few of his starts after he came off the DL for the second time and he was only throwing a 2-seamer and sitting at 91 or so.

    I'm going to laugh if this wears Davis down and he blows the save in the 9th.

    That could have been 4-2 if Davis had even attempted to bunt.

    Or Martinez. He wouldn't be my manager.

    You happy?
    What?
    You said he was "on pace" for an .800 OPS but that is objectively untrue. I'm not positive he wouldn't have reached it, of course. But just assuming he would have and giving him credit for it when it isn't true is just really poor reasoning. He was 24 points away from it...

    You are the ones literally making up and assuming where his stats would have ended up simply because it helps your point.
    "If we remove his 1st two really bad months and add 25 points to his OPS, he's exactly where I want his numbers to be, therefore I will give him credit for said numbers."
