I hadn’t noticed until you wrote this, but Beavers is in a bit of a funk, .423 OPS over his last 8 games. -
You must have missed the memo that the Yankees will never lose another game this season. Time to prepare for the WC round. -

Pitch to contact guys aren’t optimal in Oct. allow the best teams and best offenses to hit and hope you catch it isn’t a good strategy. Zero people believe that. In not worried that Burnes will do that but he’s a guy you acquired to be your Game 1, shut down guy who carries your rotation through a postseason. He won’t be that missing less than 10 bats and striking out 4 guys. Anyway, I’m not saying this is what Burnes will do. I’m saying if this trend continues, I don’t see him being the guy we hoped he would be. I was very clear about that. So no, I’m not saying I don’t have faith in him because I don’t think he’s going to become some middling pitch to contact guy. -

Roberts would make good CF for Orioles . The problem is they need pitching upgrades . After they acquired the pitchers, who would they have left to trade for Roberts ? -
To Tony’s point about backdoor cutter, here was location of all Povich pitches yesterday. I would think quite unusual to backdoor so many cutters against RHHs (vs jamming on the hands which he did sporadically) while also predominantly working curveball backdoor as well. Compare to cutters from other LHPs like Crochet, Cortes, Fried, Tyler Anderson where heatmaps show inside bias. Povich went there more so with his four seamer. The other thing to notice is how Povich worked basically all over parts of the zone (compare to Burnes heatmaps where he essentially is never up and away). It’s only one start, so will be interested to see how pitch mix and location evolves for Povich. -

Yea. I think what you and most others said was something to the effect of, he can play there if you need him to but you don’t really want him there everyday. In the SSS we saw here last year, I felt that opinion was correct but again, it was a SSS, so I tried not to put more weight in that than what most evaluators were saying. But I do think we all tend to forget, at times, that young players aren’t finished products and if they choose to put the work in, they will get better. This is my stance on Holliday going to SS. I am not disagreeing with people who doubt his arm or something like that. Where I disagree is acting like he’s a finished product at age 20. Now, he may very well be because maybe he doesn’t put the time and effort into things that he should and because of it, he won’t reach his defensive ceiling. I just tend to doubt that with that kid. -
As far as baseball stats go, EV allowed reaches a significant sample (r >= 0.7) pretty quickly, at around 40 BIP, and stays more or less in that range over quite a long period. It fluctuates oddly when you go beyond a sample of 40, but it remains fairly close to that 0.7. There aren't many stats that show better reliability in baseball.
