@JoeDooWahDiddy@EdHand89 As much as Seattle needs bullpen help it’s been abundantly clear the last few years that Jerry values locker room culture perhaps even at the expense of winning, so from our side it’s tough to envision a Chapman trade. Would be a pretty fun one for all the mock drafters though
@saz_theman Yeah opportunities to add on weren’t taken advantage of (how long will Refsnyder be on this team), but Criswell is a high risk/high reward move… it works and he’s a savant for saving the bullpen on a long road trip but it fails like it did and it’s a pretty bad look.
@JoeKennewick Truly ironic to see the same people wailing from the rooftops about how wrong income taxes are also crying about the ways in which a regressive tax structure impacts them disproportionately.
@Mariners I neglected to mention Randy absolutely air mailing that throw. Decent pitch outside the zone inducing the chase, resulting in a short pop up that should have held the runner.
@Mariners Because of course Bazardo gives up his first home run of the year and then the leading RBI on a decent pitch, fuck the baseball gods so much.
@TalkinBaseball_ Me looking back at all the Angels fan tweets after Trout got hit on the hand… “if you can’t control it don’t throw in there”
Wonder if they’re saying that now when it’s their pitcher.
@ScottSt50754548@March__83@UmpScorecards Right, thought I inferred that with the walks in a run but the strikes are important too. I agree that a 3-1 or a 3-0 wouldn’t directly result in a 1 run probability swing
@March__83@UmpScorecards Bases loaded one out so if it stands they walk in a run (1) and still have bases loaded with the opportunity for a sac fly (0.8 makes sense)
Good example of where reality can diverge from the model though since Castillo hung one and Trammell cleared the bases on the next pitch
@UmpScorecards Hmm. Don’t waste your challenges then? What a turnaround for Cal yesterday and tonight after a terrible week. I wonder how much time he sat on the VR on the offday working on challenges.
@Msbeervendor Likewise, you can’t possibly think that Naylor Julio and Cal will all be this awful the whole season. Nobody is realistically expecting Cal to hit 60 again, we’re probably fine if he hits 35.
The point is, if there is annoyance after one week, 1) focus it on the people who are
