[nsacpi]

expecting a yuge game from Swanson

[Hulavol]

Tend to agree- I think Dansby is starting to come around....

[msstate7]

I'm going with Suzuki

[Carp]

Expecting a yuge game from Acuna-matata.

[UNCBlue012]

Acuna is going to be on fiyah tonight

[steveAKAslick]

Any ideas on what the corresponding move with Chase Whitley will be?

[WaitingFor2017]

I'm expecting a huge game from Foltynewicz (with the stick).

[msstate7]

Got mine. Been to a few games here, but this crowd is crazy. Who knew chipper was so popular? Lol

[Hulavol]

Good Folty

[bravesfanMatt]

DeGrom just completed his masterpiece against the Faillies... can get a game back tonight..

[USMA76]

deGrom is the poster child that illustrates why wins and losses are a useless statistic for pitchers.

[UNCBlue012]

Folty looks terrific. Great inning.

[UNCBlue012]

Mess beat the Philth! Great opportunity tonight. deGrom throws a complete game.

[UNCBlue012]

Also, Acuna single. Kid is going to be so good.

[UNCBlue012]

Acuna’s last 30 games: 11 walks, 29 Ks. He’s getting better, and fast.

[UNCBlue012]

Albies single. Had two hits last night.

[UNCBlue012]

deGrom is the poster child that illustrates why wins are a useless statistic.

No doubt. He better win the Cy Young award this year. He’s by far the best pitcher right now.

Perhaps Enscheff can weigh in here because deGrom is 30 and has done nothing but get better since he was about 26 or 27. However, our very own Sean Newcomb is 25 and, by all metrics appears to be in decline.

What are the factors that drive the difference in trajectories between the two pitchers?

it's all about probalities... DeGrom is like six sigma out in the right handed tail...when making decisions about any player you have to consider the range of possible outcomes and try to weight them appropriately
