The park doesn’t help..over the last 3 years, their park factor is 92…the next closest is 96.

Of course the park helps with the pitching.

Which is why Kirby is Cy Young at home and has a 4+ ERA on the road.

A little Fenway effect going on with the park. They've actually had an OPS+ over 100 six times since 2015, but seems like they're always trying to improve the offense because the unadjusted numbers don't look good.

Of course this year their OPS+ is just 93 so they could really use some help.

Thankfully, Seattle successfully gave it away.

If you want style points, watch figure skating. A bloop hit looks the same as a line drive hit in the box score. A win is a win.

I'd imagine it was a rare feat back then. If you strike out less than 1200 times a year in this day and age that's pretty elite.

From 1920-1950 no team struck out even 800 times in a full season. This year's Astros are 30th in strikeouts and are on pace for 1107, and three teams have already struck out more than 800 times before July 4th.

The 1921 Reds struck out just 308 times all year. There have now been nine teams that struck out more than 308 times in a month, led by the 2022 Giants who struck out 328 times in September (and a game or two in October) of 2022. Of course the '21 Reds also hit just 20 homers all year. Big Edd Roush led the team with four, to go along with his eight strikeouts.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We tried to get Cease from them at the deadline, and then in the offseason. Cease was much less complicated because he didn’t have innings issues and hadn’t been a reliever.  Now we have to make a trade with them with the complications of Crochet and expect not to trade one of Basallo, Mayo, and Holliday, plus.  Yeah, that ain’t happening. Stick to the rentals of Scherzer and Kikuchi. I know it’s taboo to say this, but once you get passed those two SP, who really is that much better than Suarez?  Suarez has only given up 3 HR all year and has a 2.50 ERA.

      Not really. What SP are you taking off for him?   It seems like our guys reached some theoretical milestones of being an all star but they did a 2-3 deep at each position. Picked the players based solely on that position and not versus the entire position group. For Ex. It was DH v DH. 2B v 2B. COF v COF.  The only gripes are possibly, Westburg vs Peredes but the one player from each team rule.  Santander vs OF but they need guys that can play CF.  Kimbrel vs Holmes maybe here but Kimbrel getting demoted and not spreading out his rough outings affected perception.  Do they still do the last player in vote?  If so, Santa and Westburg could be on the ballot?

      Well the NFL Rams franchise deserves some mention as they started in Cleveland in 1937, moved to LA in 1946, moved to St. Louis in 1995 and back to LA in 2016.  Fascinating that in each stop they have won a season’s ultimate prize (either NFL championship or Super Bowl)! To add some extra spice to the Rams franchise history they were involved with the Baltimore Colts in what was the largest trade of all time as described here. https://www.nfl.com/news/sidelines/digging-into-the-colts-and-rams-1972-franchise-swap-was-the-greatest-biggest-tra

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I still say crochet isn’t traded. It makes sense for Chicago to trade him but they could still get a ton for him in the offseason or at the deadline next year if things go right. I do not feel his value is at its peak right now BUT his value does risk to take a huge drop if they don’t trade him. It’s not an easy spot to be in for anyone involved in this decision.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      I don’t think many/any want or are eager to get rid of any of our very talented young players/prospects. However, I for one, am even less eager to see us roll with the pitching staff as is. The question/dilemma is what is the right amount of talent to acquire this year (and potentially beyond given the state of the rotation) to give us the best shot possible to be successful in October? And how to we balance that against our future potential/possibilities that some of the young players provide. It’s a very precarious position that Elias is in. We all hope that he makes great decisions that lead to both success now and in the future. But I get where you are coming from Kjerstad seems to have an elite power tool as the ball seems to really carry off of his bat.

      I’m disappointed more O’s didn’t get in, but it’s hardly the biggest travesty in all star history, so, shrug. Jim Palmer mentioned on the broadcast that he didn’t make the All Star team two of the three times he won the Cy Young.
