gdt 9.19.19 financial flexibility vs stupid spending

Pitch to Freeman rather than taking a chance with Nola vs Duvall? WTF?

No wonder the Phillies are looking to hire new analytics guys.

maybe they need to ask if pitching to Freddie is smart with a base open and Duvall behind him instead of the JTR and Sixto question
 
307 hitters have 250+ PAs in 2019.

Riley ranks #305 in Z-Contact%, meaning he misses pitches in the zone very often.

Riley ranks #23 in O-Swing%, meaning he swings at pitches out of the zone very often.

He is perhaps the most extreme guess hitter currently in MLB.
 
I'm not 100% sure how I'd play it, but I don't think Soroka needs to be making a start vs KC. If he actually does, I'd have him on a pitch count but hopefully that gets scrapped. Maybe Wright/Wilson bullpen game to try to set it up for the NLDS.

Think his next start needs to be in New York on a pitch count of 50 pitches.
