A 1-run game. Herrrreee we goooo again! ;)

Hammel gave up the solo home run on purpose because he wants to hush all of the detractors that have claimed that there is no way that we can have as high of a winning percentage in one-run games in 2013 that we had last year.

Attention humans:

Roberts will not play like he did in 2009, he is 4 years older and recovering from massive brain injuries.

He will be fine, he could be better than fine. But he won't be able to beat all of those plays out like he used to.

Well he's also 35 this year. Even if he hadn't had the injury problems, I'd expect him to be on the slower side.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Because I believe how it works is they project FIP and then adjust based on team defense and park factors to project ERA. Since we’re talking about a trade, the context-specific elements of defense and park factors are less relevant. The projections have been shown to be more highly correlated with future performance than ERA or ERA estimators such as FIP.

      Cedric en fuego!!

      Wait …what . Cedric has hit for .271 and .290 in his career. And I could also live with the .258 he hit a couple seasons ago.

      Orioles win; Yankees lose

      I'm happy that I made it through yesterday intact but look ahead...there are thousands of viruses floating around out there, and it might thunderstorm this weekend...I feel there's a solid chance I get struck by lightning at least twice...my "health" will likely be short lived...but I'm happy to be alive...for now..

      Pittsburgh signed Keller thru 2028.  As much as I would like to trade for him, I think they plan to build their rotation around Keller and Skenes.  Keller is a #2/3 with ace upside.  If their GM would think to move him, they would no doubt want a package starting w/ Mayo/Basallo or Holliday, fair or unfair.

      We've talked about this many times over the years, but I'll never quite get the kind of mass hysteria narratives that sometimes spread around MVP or other award voting. In 1996 ARod was obviously a better overall hitter than Gonzalez, definitely a better baserunner, and while Rodriguez was a good shortstop Gonzalez was a below-average corner outfielder. There was no WAR at the time, but retroactively this is reflected in ARod winning that metric about 9-3. But as often happens someone runs with one crazy idea or the other and they give the award to the clearly worse player. Makes me think it's usually just a way to sell more newspapers with controversy.

      I worry about Keller ….pitching well then goes to a new team and pitches at the 4 ERA he was last season.
