Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
For the runner on 2nd base in extra innings, if that runner scores is it an inherited run or an earned run?

And I don't love the runner on second rule, but 7 game doubleheaders I have no real issue with.
My gall is sufficiently mitigated. Thank you for your concern.

Bryce Harper and the Phillies just pulled off the super common 9-6 force out at 2B.

I wanna see deGrom hit the open market just to see if someone pays him $50 million per. He has more RBI's for himself than runs allowed and he's on pace for 400 strikeouts.

The Reds should stop batting Suarez third. (And i should stop picking him in DFS)

The Cubs scored 15 yesterday, after scoring 16 on Wednesday. Those 31 runs are more than a third of their season total.Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Sat Apr 17, 2021 3:12 pmYeah but they're only a tiny bit underwater on run differential.
The Cubs have the worst run differential in the Majors going into today with the second-easiest schedule so far.
I'm thinking that dynasty might not materialize after all.

D-Backs play a doubleheader in Atlanta today and give up 1 hit total. Gallen with the 1-hit shutout and Baumgarner with the no-hitter! (which doesn't count)

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
I'd like to see what was the change in team batting average for Atlanta from yesterday to today.
I'm bit more interested in baseball right now, because I'm hopeful that both the Giants and the A's might be competitive this season.

Just need to go ahead and change the rules and let the Padres and Dodgers do the World Series thing this year.
Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
In my 40 years of watching baseball, no team makes me say "what? These fucking guys again?" more than the St. Louis Cardinals.

Yankees @ O's
Bot 10, tied 3-3:
Ramon Arias starts the inning as the runner on 2B.
Pat Valaika successfully bunts Arias over to 3rd: Sanchez to LeMahieu (covering 1B on the play).
So, tie game with the winning run on 3rd. Cedric Mullins is up.
Walk him and then walk Hays (due up next) to load the bases to try for a DP?
Or, just pitch to Cedric and let him lift a fly ball to CF and test Aaron Hicks' arm against the handpicked runner from the O's bench who is now on 3rd?
Man. I knew the Yankees were too one dimensional, but damn, it's worse than I thought.

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
Yeah, unless the matchups say otherwise, I don't get not walking into a force once you have a runner on 3B.
(And Mullins is not a matchup you avoid the force to keep in place.)

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
Of course, the # of runs (0) you scored in the top of the 10th plays into your math, but man...Boone sat there postgame and said he didn't even consider walking Mullins.
That just hurts my brain.
And Boston had one of those types of wins last night that a waxing Bob Costas might blather on about to explain why the upstart, 92 win BoSox are headed to the ALCS. That game where Pivetta stood toe-to-toe with deGrom, who was in the middle of a once in a generation season.
He'd also work in the fact that Garret Whitlock pitched two scoreless IP in relief, too.
Ugh. I need a drink.

I like to convince myself that the Yankees hired Boone just to troll the Red Sox about 2003.

Pretty sure he’s there to manage the guys in a relaxed anti-Girardi way and agreed to just do what the front office says.
Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
Hell of a game yesterday by Taylor Trammell of the Mariners. Hits a solo HR for the only run of the game and ends it with a sliding grab in CF.

Re: 2021 MLB Regular Season Thread
Yeah, one place I diverge from full analytics is in the L/R thing in lineup construction. If your 7th and 9th best hitters are your only lefties, they shouldn't hit 7th and 9th. Even ignoring relievers and handedness and the fact that they play in the best offensive stadium for lefties ... Judge, Stanton, Sanchez, Torres, Frazier, Voit when he comes back are all very similar in terms of how a righty would attack them. That has to help a starter establish a rhythm that would otherwise be broken by varierty in the lineup.

Goodrum getting hit by a batted ball running from 2nd to 3rd is all you need to know about the Tigers season.
