Same pitch clock and rule changes for all teams, but running on Adley is up considerably more than league average.  

I do think the word is out on a couple of our pitchers.   Bautista has allowed 7 steals without anyone betting caught; Baumann has allowed 6 with none caught.   On the other end of the spectrum, runners have failed in 4 of 6 attempts against Kremer, and 4 of 5 against Baker.   Interestingly, only 8 runners tried against Bautista last year, and 2 of them failed; 3 of 4 failed against Baumann. 
 

Good catch-when you look at the leader board it is mostly starters (more innings, more opportunities) a few relievers (small ball at end of games).  What is sinful for Baumann and Bautista is steals per runner/opportunity. 

Why are our starters so much better (in aggragate) at holding runners-the success rate is so high it's really about volume attempts not steals themselves.

Adley Rutschman is having an excellent year, 1.9 rWAR, 1.8 fWAR, on pace for around 5.2 -5.5 WAR, depending which flavor you prefer.   That’s very good, but Adley was worth 5+ WAR last year in only 3/

He is weighted down too much from carrying the team on his back? Seriously though, I personally think he’s been very good defensively.  Eye test anyway.     I agree the throws on stolen ba

Well defensively he does not seem as good as Wieters.   Wieters had  a better arm.

Does anyone know why he was catching on one knee with the leg out last night? I don’t think I have ever seen him in that stance before. 

The automated pitch caller was on his knee…’but I don’t know if that’s an every game thing or what. Only reason I even know Is cause it fell off on a play he made at first. Then I noticed every time he called the pitch in.

I can't remember if Adley uses it all the time but catchers use it to better frame pitches low in the zone.  If you notice they will switch legs depending where the pitch is designed to go.  It's also much more comfortable.

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Philip · Posted

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.

      My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
