Would be great to not have to use the best starters against Cleveland.

Hey guys, I normally don't do things like this but if you could send some prayers and good vibes my way it would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to go into too much detail but I'm getting some medical tests done and I'm currently in the weird waiting stage and I am beyond stressed out. Hoping for the best outcome.
Prayers for you, man. Hope all turns out well.texasaggie2015 said:

Yordan is beginning to look like Mike Trout. Immensely talented. And immensely fragile.
I dunno man...Yordan doesnt miss half to 3/4 of the season every season....Trout is literally mr glass.Mathguy64 said:

Just for my own curiosity I had to know.Ag_07 said:Mathguy64 said:

Yordan is Cal Ripken Jr compared to Trout and it's not even close.
Since 2021 games played
Yordan - 144/135/114/147
Trout - 36/119/82/29
Yordan's games played numbers actually look better than I thought they were.
You just so happen to leave out the year Yordan missed entirely. Alavrez has issues. It's okay to admit it. He should be his healthiest in his 20s yet his knees fail him. There is a reason he only plays LF about 1/3 of the time and it's not just his poor defense.Ag_07 said:Mathguy64 said:

"Springer came to Toronto with a reputation for being one of the game’s biggest stars when it matters most, but this organization hasn’t won a postseason game in his first four seasons with the Blue Jays."

Meanwhile, the Astros have continued to win with him and Correa. https://t.co/9bniG1xukI

Year - wRC+ - WARQuote:
25 M for 2-3 would be fine. 25 M per year for 5-6, not so much. We need to play players for what we get not what they've done in the past.
Fun part about last night: Hunter Brown has said watching both Bryce Miller and George Kirby throw two-seamers helped to influence his decision to incorporate one. He started throwing it May 5 against ... the Mariners while pitching against ... Miller - https://t.co/mpRmvwTJTh https://t.co/9UdyIpCGaN

Ask him to come convince them to quit swinging at sliders in the opposite batter's box.Ciboag96 said:
I think we are generally ok against top pitching, except at home. We get absolutely killed by guys that are either brand new in the league or are objectively terrible (ERA of 4.5+) against the rest of the league. I hope to god seeing Altuve and Bregman take some pitches and draw walks put an idea in Cintron's little pea brain that maybe the way to get to some of these high end pitchers is to take pitches, drive up the pitch count, and maybe, just maybe to stop trying to pull outside sliders into the Crawford Boxes. Fouling off pitches to get a chance to see something better seems like a lost art by our hitters, along with walking and bunting.Farmer1906 said:
I know we like to hate on our team because the offense always stalls vs. no-name guys with 6 ERAs, but also very elite pitching.
I tried to put some data into it.
How have we faired vs the 10 best pitching teams - per WAR for the 2nd Half
Team rankings since July 1
Overall a 99 wRC+ ain't great. When you compare us to other playoff teams, it isn't that bad either.
NYY, BAL, KCR, DET, & CLE have all done worse.
One thing to note is the discrepancy is PA vs these top 10 teams. BOS has had 1402 PA while NYY has only had 427 PA. There might be a little bit of chicken and egg going on. Maybe NYY haven't faced elite teams the 2nd half because they have hit them well enough to knock them out of the top 10.
Regardless, I think it is safe to say we have a much lower opinion of our offense than what the #s show.
Overall we're 6th in wRC+ / 10th in Runs. 2nd half we're 8th in wRC+ / 14th in Runs. Sep/Oct we're 5th in wRC+ / 4th in Runs.
