What if a few years from now it turns out Dusty was involved in a gambling ring and he was throwing games
I am guessing it will help with RHH vs LHP who throw 3/4 slot.texasaggie2015 said:
I'm trying to figure out how that effects the hitters at all

I just tried it on my tv by changing the batting angle on The Show and post it notes. It had an adverse affect on me being able to see the ball. I will try spray paint nexttexasaggie2015 said:

I cannot wait to move on from Dusty Baker. Frustrating is an understatement. It would be one thing if the things he did made sense and I just disagreed with them. This has just been malpractice. And it's sad honestly. I've never seen anything like it.

Time to move Peña back to the 2 hole
0-4 with 4 K screams get him more ABs?
"Yes" - Dusty
Teams in SF, Chicago, Cincy and Washington saw it. Its not like he started this idiocy yesterday.texasaggie2015 said:

I said this a few months ago. If I were the manager and I needed to throw games without making it obvious, I don't think I would have gone this far.
Hard to know. I tried to find views from hitters and this is the best I could find (RHH vs LHP). If this guy is throwing off the mound, would it be close? IDK.texasaggie2015 said:
That still seems really far to the right side (as your looking at the batters eye) but maybe it's the angle

The only reason I can think of, and it's not a good one, is to give Abreu protection with tuck behind him? Then tuck doesn't have a gidp machine behind him?
Like I said though, that's still the wrong answer.
Post all-star break: team OPS vs. team ERA

100%. Literally watching an AL ROY award be stolen from him with his lack of PT.
But he'll thank Dusty later for it! It reminds of Judge Smails: "I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't wanna do it, but felt I owed it to them."
Sure why not?YZ250 said:
The existing batters eye extends pretty far to the left so the new paint makes the right side more equivalent.
Now waiting for Farmer to analyze RHH vs LHP for home and away...and then LHH home and away.

Even if either team did that, they'd still need to go 3-3 or 4-2 in the none games against each other.tjack16 said:HarryRocket said:

I think so barring a crazy 6-1 or 7-0 run by the rangers against Seattle or vice versa
Cristian Javier will start Wednesday.

I have done this before, but its always nice to updatescrimp said:
Just to make myself shake my head in disbelief, I decided to look over the defensive catching stats:
MM:
107 games played, 7 errors, 3 double plays, 76 stolen bases, 13 caught stealing, 11 passed balls, and 26 wild pitches.
Yainer:
53 games played, 5 errors, 4 double plays, 30 stolen bases, 13 caught stealing, 0 passed balls, 7 wild pitches.
If we double Yainer's stats to extrapolate stats get close to the games played for MM:
106 games played, 10 errors, 8 double plays, 60 stolen bases, 26 caught stealing, 0 passed balls, 14 wild pitches.
Let's compare that to the AL All-star catchers this year
Rutschman:
103 games played, 5 errors, 4 double plays, 53 stolen bases, 13 caught stealing, 0 passed balls, 35 wild pitches.
Heim:
111 games played, 2 errors, 8 double plays, 55 stolen bases, 23 caught stealing, 7 passed balls, 26 wild pitches.
This irritates me much more than the batting order. True, Diaz needs to cut down the errors. If he could maintain his stats (offensively and defensively) he would be at ROY and All-Star levels this year. But of course, he get's to catch occasionally and make sure the bench doesn't float away....
As long as they are all solo HRs, the team should be good.BadAggie said:
