@Melissybk All of his numbers, Ld%, pull%, fb% gb% bbs, strikeouts, hr rates are almost identical to his career numbers. His EV is a tiny bit down and his BABIP is way down. Seems to me bad luck and maybe displeased the baseball gods somehow. Needs jobu.

[blindllama @ouchmyshinhurts]

@OleTimeHardball 100% put him in.

[blindllama @ouchmyshinhurts]

@LethalCashChuy He was tipping his pitches and the 3rd base coach noticed and relayed. There wasn’t any sign stealing especially with pitch com. If you’re tipping your pitches every single team is going to use that to their advantage. Kelly needs to fix it. Not a cubs problem.

@BotNotaNotaBot @stacycay @TheDemocrats The report you cite while not proving Trump worked hand in hand did prove he Russia interfered and Trumps team both welcomed and expected Russia’s help in interfering in the election. They just couldn’t prove they were coordinating.

[blindllama @ouchmyshinhurts]

@BotNotaNotaBot @stacycay And yet yet that is still misleading, and omitting key details given in the investigation

Also, Insufficient evidence to charge is not the same as no evidence. As Mueller said, “if we had evidence to say that the president clearly did not commit a crime we would have said that.”

[blindllama @ouchmyshinhurts]

@BotNotaNotaBot @stacycay Above doesn’t tell whole story.

[blindllama @ouchmyshinhurts]

@UCLAdonF @DanielLonen @john_iamme Not criticizing him. Just not rewarding him this year for what he’s done prior years. He’s not pitching fully time anymore.

[blindllama @ouchmyshinhurts]

@DanielLonen @john_iamme He hasn’t pitched a game since July 3rd. He hasn’t had a full load even as a 6 man rotation since 2023 when he made 28 starts. Even if he comes back next week he’ll maybe get 4 or 5 more starts in which is still well short of full time start load.

@frank_rosario @bentdog @BrickCenter_ At this point you’re either being disingenuous, arguing in bad faith or just have no idea what you’re talking about. Either way, I have no desire to continue engaging with you.

Take care.

[blindllama @ouchmyshinhurts]

@frank_rosario @bentdog @BrickCenter_ Are you really suggesting that a professional basketball player is incapable of knowing where her teammates are and your worried about her getting stripped while passing but not worried taking a shot with the opponent in her face as she’s trying to shoot. Just stop. Seriously.

[blindllama @ouchmyshinhurts]

@frank_rosario @bentdog @BrickCenter_ Yes the same ones on the court when she tries to shoot. However behind her is a wide open teammate with not another member of the team within 20 feet of her. Easier to dump it than shooting with a body on top of you and hand in your face.

@maxedison49 @BrickCenter_

[blindllama @ouchmyshinhurts]

@DanielLonen @john_iamme I’m not even saying the outs are equivalent because they are not. It’s to put Ohtani’s limited pitching into perspective. It’s impressive but 85 innings is still only 85 innings. He’s not a full time pitcher. He’s a DH who also sometimes pitches.

[blindllama @ouchmyshinhurts]

@DanielLonen @john_iamme The point was, Ohtani impact on the pitching side is being overstated. Multiple center fielders have caught more balls than he generated pitching. He’s pitched well when he’s pitched, but simply hasn’t pitched enough.

[blindllama @ouchmyshinhurts]

@UCLAdonF @JPJburner @DanielLonen @john_iamme With significantly less slugging, obp, sb etc. However, he actually has higher dWAR than PCA too. Not sure your point but Pages is having an amazing year and should be getting more accolades than he is. Elite year.

[blindllama @ouchmyshinhurts]

@DanielLonen @john_iamme The outs for PCA here were ones he caught himself, or threw himself for an assist. I thought that was clear.

[blindllama @ouchmyshinhurts]

@spirichtregen Question: how many outs has each player made for their team in the defense side. No advanced stats, outs. The answer might surprise you. PCA has generated over 100 more through put outs and assists than Ohtani has through pitching. That’s the value of being on the field vs not.

[blindllama @ouchmyshinhurts]

@frank_rosario @bentdog @BrickCenter_ Well actually your statement that she is bad at making shots IS actually agreeing with me. Other part wasn’t included.

To that point a rim is 18 inches. A person she’s passing to is 6 feet tall with a 6 foot wingspan with legs to adjust. She can make the pass. Rim won’t adjust.

[blindllama @ouchmyshinhurts]

@frank_rosario @bentdog @BrickCenter_ It’s situational. She blocked 20% of her shots. Actual stat. Look it up. And that’s because she forces balls up with contact and while contested under the basket. She won’t pass, teams know it. Your second paragraph is an agreeing with me btw. Not sure why you added a “no”.
