You said this made-up stat would "deter" a player from signing now you're making a completely different argument about players' feeeeeeelings If you can't put those two things together, let me do it for you. They are not contradictory, but related. I believe they would look at that stat a...

It may be irrelevant to the new stats people when evaluating a particular pitcher. But pitchers are human; they have egos. And no matter what they say in the post game clubhouse, they will feel disheartened if the team wins and they didn't get credit for it. It is human nature. And that can't be mea...

Those wins would have been a lot easier if Diaz had been his own self. Ottavino reminds me of Ron Piche, about whom Howard Cosell said, "Looks like the Braves have given up on this game. Ron Piche is pitching". Ottavino should not be used in any game when they're tied or ahead. The good (o...

Did Angel Hernandez have a job on the production line?

And it would be interesting to see which problem (bullpen or offense) more directly correlates to SPW percentage.

He didn't get awarded a save.

You can't go to sleep on this team like I did.
Good thing. I don't know if my heart could have taken watching it.

Maybe it was the clubhouse meeting.

Now we'll see if those undecided voters who said they wouldn't vote for him if he gets convicted will stay true to their word.
Now, Biden can call him "Convicted Felon Trump" every time he refers to him.
