    Statcast Arm Strength Leaderboard

    Actually I read more into it and they are averaging the top 5% of the throws. So it appears the shorter throws are probably already removed.

    Statcast Arm Strength Leaderboard

    But just looking at the numbers and ranking them doesn't account for every factor. Look at my follow up. Similar to range factor stuff of old, the "average" will toss out some short throws down the road that lowers that number. I'm assuming they are already dropping 1B underhanded tosses to...

    Statcast Arm Strength Leaderboard

    If you want an example sort by Only 1B Hunter Dozier 78.3 Joey Meneses 77.7 However, both have an 85.6 in RF. They have better arms (many other 1B do as well), but they don't have the game opportunity to uncork a throw. Also, shift heavy teams will have shorter throws. Riley has had several...

    Statcast Arm Strength Leaderboard

    Grain of salt... This data isn't in its infancy, but it is a toddler. You've mentioned one the shortcomings (short throws from 2B). One that isn't considered is sample. Harris is a top arm in CF, it's every bit as good or better than Acuna. This will be good data in 3-4 years when it matures.

    Official Playoff Thread

    Won't be shocked if the Mets get bounced in 2 games... Also wouldn't be shocked if they pull it together and make the NLCS I'm interested to see how they respond. I'll say this, If Scherzer can't locate his slider like Saturday it will be a quick exit for them..

    What we learned about the Post Season Roster from the Mets Series

    Albies is so much better Defensively than Arcia and Grissom that I think you have to. But Grissom's bat needs to be in the lineup. It's a shame we haven't figured out if he can play LF yet.

    What we learned about the Post Season Roster from the Mets Series

    I don't think there is any chance we use Yates this year. All of our Bullpen guy have been highly effective. Tyler Matzek has a 3.32 ERA and 4.37 FIP, but has consistently out performed his FIP aside from the Covid year. IF THAT is our worse guy there is no spot for Yates.

    What we learned about the Post Season Roster from the Mets Series

    We got a chance to see Snit handle this team late in the year in 3 close games in a playoff type scenario. We got a good look at what to expect for the Playoff roster. My prediction: Regular Lineups: 1. Acuna - RF 2. Swanson - SS 3. Harris - CF 4. Riley - 3B 5. Olson - 1B 6. d'Arnaud - C 7...

    GDT 8/19/22: Braves vs Astros - World Series Rematch

    Ozuna is dressed and in the dugout... Why did the team not suspend him?

    Ozuna arrested on DUI charges?

    Are we really not suspending him before the game tonight? Calling up someone in case the game goes 25 innings and we need a position player to pitch?

    Ozuna arrested on DUI charges?

    He could potentially still be under the court's diversion program for his initial case. The Domestic Violence Case received a ONE YEAR diversion according to DOB. The terms of the diversion included a 6 month supervised probation. What does that mean? Well in non Criminal Lawyer terms for 6...

    Snit post-game quote.

    Snit was definitely still making these decisions. He was answering questions at the post game presser like he was calling shots on the bullpen, so everyone in that room knew what was going on too.

    Snit post-game quote.

    You don't just punt a 15.8% chance to win a game against the team that 3.5 games ahead of you in the standings. It's effectively a 2 game swing if you score 2 runs in bottom of the 9th. You have to play to win there. There is no excuse not to. You skip an entire round of the playoffs if we...

    We will either be ahead or behind by 6 and have to pitch Jansen tonight to get him some work

    GDT 8/15/22: Braves vs Mutts - Ready for Revenge

    Moving Ozuna is dumb unless you get someone to take his contract. His high .600 low .700 OPS is a good bench bat. If his salary isn't going anywhere, there's no sense in not keeping him as a pinch hitter.
