I'm afraid the regression of our pitching staff that Zips, Pecota, and others had predicted is coming to fruition this year. One of our starters is gone. Three are having up and down years. One has been decent but has recently experienced some trouble. Also, we've traded a bullpen staple. The remaining relievers remain fairly consistent but not as dominant as last year. Our hitting continues to be wildly inconsistent, with the corner outfield showing the most regression. We look very much like the .500 team the experts predicted we would be. I hate when those guys are right.

Except that those guys had us significantly under .500, with much worse pitching regression than we've actually had. They were right about direction, wrong about magnitude.

Zips has adjusted there projections recently. I think they currently have us projected at 82-80. Not sure where Pecota has us now. They had us at 78-84 originally. SI had us at 82-80. At any rate there was no way I believed a 96 win team from last year would fall this far.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      If he has been injured all this time, why are they still letting him play? After a month of poor performance with an injury, they should have sat him. EDIT - Screw a month, 2 weeks.

      And McCann is our worst RHB facing a dominant lefty with reverse splits. You have to think a K is a high likelihood.  And then to send him up there with Ramon on 3rd, you have to expect the same outcome.

      I don't like hearing that a catcher has a back issue -no matter how big or how small it is- at age 26.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      IMO he made two decisions that were clearly wrong, pitching to Witt and not PR Holliday, to go along with a couple others I didn’t agree with but are certainly debatable. There is no doubt that the game was lost because the bats couldn’t push a run across, but everyone has a job to do, and like the batters, Hyde didn’t do his.

      I use the StatCast search function. It’s a little more complicated for chase rate, ground ball rate, popup rate, and sweet spot rate because you need to adjust selected pitch attributes/outcomes as well as total pitch definition and then use % of pitches. I believe popups are categorized by stringers and generally capture balls that an infielder could catch.  I believe Adley’s fly balls have gotten can of cornier even without the popups.

      ...or simply choose not to even attempt to play situational baseball.  As I posted in another thread, 0-0 game both teams aces are dealing.  Ced leads off the inning with a double.  Your #9 hitter (McCann) is coming to the plate with your two best hitters (Gunnar and Westburg) to follow. Instead of bunting Ced to 3rd and almost assuring yourself a 1-0 lead which firmly puts the pressure on KC, Hyde chooses to let McCann swing away.  He feebly strikes out, Gunnar grounds out (there was your run), and Westburg flies out.  0 runs, 1 hit, 0 errors. 1 left on....

      Adley - Is it an injury? Is it a woman? Is it the "process?" Is it just who he is at his age? What Is It? And no, I'm not doing a pole. Wait till 2025 for the answer - I think. Till then - speculate. This off season goin be fun on here. This thread kinda makes me miss Rick Dempsey and I have absolutely no idea why. 😄 Oh yea, he was our last WSMVP.
