I'm cheering for what's best for the team going forward. Obviously no one wants to lose. But the losses don't hurt as bad when you known your team doesn't have anyone to play for. At this point, I just want to see our players who will be here in 2026 do well. Individually, I want to see...

LOL, dude that isn't how FIP works. There a lot of things to point to about how well Strider did or didn't pitch today. Using FIP ain't it.

So his xwOBA has been roughly the same every year since his breakout year, aside from this year (which isn't over yet, and he's less than 1 year removed from a broken wrist). Thanks for proving his point.

LMAO, please stop posting stats you know nothing about. Really out trying to post the FIP 1 game, lol. Wow.

What are you talking about?

Spoke too soon.

LOL, he issued 2 bad walks in the first. Other than that he's been really good. Not many hard hit balls at all. And the most important, zero runs.

Dang. WTP

Verlander at 33 pitches already

Wow. Can't believe Murphy was able to take that slider on ball 4.

Effectively wild.

There is a little bit of evidence backing this up from an article a month or 2 ago talking about how the Braves aren't being as aggressive early in the count this year.

LOL yeah that is extremely silly. On a rate basis, Acuna had a very similar year to 2020 and 2021, which were his best seasons up until 2023 (albeit those were shortened seasons with COVID and the first torn ACL). Only the K rate stands out as unusual from 2023 to those other seasons...

OK. Again, aberrations happen. JP Crawford went from striking out around 25% early in his career all the way down to 13% in 2022. Then went back up to 22% last year and he's back down to 17% this year. Gleyber Torres K rates the last 4 years: 22.6, 14.6, 20.5, and 13.4. It may not be common...

I'm sure I could. But you are also leaving out a pretty big caveat with the injury.

Developing changeups seems to be our specialty, lol, so this tracks why we are interested in him.

The short answer is, aberrations happen all the time. It also helps that the team overall hit much better, which means there were more people on base in front of him and great hitters hitting behind him. So teams couldn't afford to put him on base by pitching around him, which means more...

Strider's last 8 starts: 48.2 IP, 2.77 ERA, 2.48 FIP, xFIP 2.93, 11.65 K/9, 1.07 WHIP Stuff wise, Strider isn't quite back to previous levels. His FB is now very average compared to being elite before. But his change and his curve have improved pretty dramatically and both have rated as plus...

This would pretty good value for half a season of a DH only player with a bap hip. I know next to nothing about these prospects, but from a quick look it seems that Pena would compare somewhat similarly to Lara. A future reliever with a couple of plus pitches but very poor command. FG has...

I'm fine with it. Same with Skenes starting the game last year over some other guys that might have been more deserving. The ASG is the best opportunity for the MLB to prop up it's young stars that can help draw in younger fans or just new fans in general. I'd much rather see someone like Mizz...
