@theaceofspaeder Yeah losing 3-2 was because of the pitching staff. I’m sure of it. Syndegaard and Brogdon went 5 ip 2 ER, 4 H, 0 BB, 9k

JV went 5 ip 1ER, 4 H, 4 BB, 6K.

This is a ludicrous take

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@TommyKelly44 Turner also finished T5 in mvp last season and his 0.5 bwar is still almost 2 war better.This is also his worst statistical season in his career and still will put up better numbers than bohm’s career best. His worst tool of fielding is still better than bohm’s best tool.Bad take

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@Smart_Is_Soft @SundeTigerPuter @Pat_Egan Higher OBP = gets on base more. It’s not a hard concept. A leadoff strikeout and leadoff ground out are literally the same thing

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@DerekMitchley1 @AssistsPhillies 57% of those runs came in a singular outing. Remove that, 1.88

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@realboshek Miguel Vargas and Michael Busch?

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@Bob_Wankel Surely a 173 era+, 3.88 FIP, 9.58 k/9, 3.07 xERA, 82.3 LOB%, and 26.6% hard hit rate is a crap relieved to have

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@ErWoody99 @GeorgeOnTap But unlike other sports, development time is much heavier which creates a catch 22 in this instance. When do 17-18 year old int’l signings become FA vs 22 y.o college players?Or are they now independent contracts that are signed for Milb vs MLB and how do options work? It’s tough

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@ErWoody99 @GeorgeOnTap Caps are anti player and will lead to less incentive to perform better. It suppresses growth and will lead to less service time as well as a lesser product on the field. Rather field 26 1 WAR players or 10 3+ WAR players and the rest below replacement level?Talent will be diluted

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@sportsprophet47 @BohmIsKing They don’t live and die with the homerun though? They live and die by their 3 guys who are the only above average hitters. Turner has turned it around but if Bryce and Kyle don’t hit then they don’t score period. So where is your proof they live and die by their HR?

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@BohmIsKing From 2024-2026 his .343 OBP is 45th. His TB is 52nd. His defense is around 160th. His speed is 33rd percentile. Schwarber with his low batting average has 352 more TB. Taylor Ward who actually would fill a position here has 130 more TB so like he’s not a needle mover at all

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@JohnStolnis Since beginning of season, Phillies RP rank 4th in WAR, 3rd in xERA, 8th in FIP, 1st in xFIP, 1st in k/9, 9th in bb/9. All with 22nd in IP and the highest BABIP against. Defense is bad, Rangel is fine for a 5 for now, but can see what becomes available. Big picture is important

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@zxyy97 @YourFriendKyle_ Freeman over Harper is wild and Marsh is a better hitter this season than Pages

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@BillColarulo I’d love to hear your names from the past 2 seasons for a RH outfield power bat that was available

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@ASAP_Wicki @DaddyFungo @OptaSTATS @Brewers I mean could also look at Sanchez’s .329 BABIP which ranks 3rd highest due to the worst defense in the sport vs Miz’s .242 which is 10th lowest also given his better than avg defense. Both are just incredibly fun to watch right now though and just enjoy it

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@MrTony03222023 @TMacBlows @Phillies Because it got thrown 50 times yesterday and accounted for multiple whiffs. It is also statistically Luzardo’s best pitch and it had less spin and average movement yesterday compared to average so it is a story to be told?

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@MrTony03222023 @TMacBlows @Phillies You do realize sweeper is a specific pitch type right? It has a much larger horizontal break with minimal vert break compared to a slider. Luzardo throws it 36% of the time, Wheels 13%

Compare:
Sanchez slider: -4” V Break, 1.8” H Break
Luzardo Sweeper: -1” V break, 8.8” H Break

@BoppuBeepu @allday4848 @frillyghost Use case - Bullpens by least IP
21 -CHW, OAK, HOU (DS, 88 W, WS)
22 -HOU, PHI, SDP (all in CS)
23 -PHI, HOU, SEA (2/3 in CS)
24 -SEA, KC, ATL (2/3 DS, all above 85W)
25 - PHI, CLE, ARI (AZ outlier, 2 in DS)

Overall: PHI, HOU, SEA, ATL. 4 of the most consistent teams. It matters

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@BoppuBeepu @frillyghost Multiply that by 3 for full season, now we talk about 26 innings difference the equivalent of around 5 starts worth of outs. That is a big deal when the whole job of a pitcher is to get as many outs as possible with the ability to limit runs

[Eric Bozzi @e_bozzi]

@BoppuBeepu @frillyghost He also does his job “worse”, averaging almost 1 less inning per start. Seems like a small amount, spread over 32 starts, and Sanchez leads the way for the main job a pitcher does. Wheeler vs Burnes a few years back. Burnes had better peripherals, wheeler was the better pitcher
