    As an example, a .300 hitter doesn’t get a hit exactly every 3 or so AB, he goes 4-4 in some games and 0-4 in others and it settles out to 3 our of 10. On top of that, the level of competition matters and Sept is tougher than Aug. Also, the performance of the other team matters too as in are...

    Arizona Diamondbacks @ Colorado Rockies Sep 10 - Sep 13, 2018

    Exactly, and, on a limited budget with the obvious loss of offense, Hazen went out and tried some cheap fliers and defensive first options. The result is a 0.2 RA/G drop from last year’s team. Sadly unable to counter the 0.6 drop in R/G. The real story of this division race was the failure of...

    I think you’re looking for something that isn’t there. The offense hasn’t been dramatically different than last year among the major hitters in the lineup and where it is different it is mostly in a positive direction from last year.

    “Tunneling” is in regards to the release point pitchers have for different pitches. As in the FB comes from a different spot than the offspeed pitch. Any team that is using tunneling theory to adjust a players mechanics is most likely using it on the pitchers to change their release points to...

    Mediocre pitchers often look like cy young caliber pitchers against mediocre to inept offenses. How do you explain a team like CHC who uses just as many lineups and scores more runs? What basis gives you the impression that consistent order is the problem over larger issues like talent? How...

    When you make statements like this, do you just completely ignore things like opposing pitchers and platoon splits?

    FWIW, Ahmed is having his best offensive season of his career. Whatever approach he’s taking, it’s working for him better than previous approaches. He just isn’t a good offensive player.

    I think this is a worse defensive lineup than usually fielded. It will be interesting to see how this affects Buchholz.

    Markets = TVs. The fact is that PHX is surrounded by, well, nothing. I don’t even think they have exclusive to all of AZ ( I think SD encroaches). Meanwhile, The whole states of NY and CT are watching the Yankees, all of VA and half of NC is being split by WAS and BAL. All of TX, LA, and parts...

    Buchholz doesn’t walk anyone and he doesn’t often give up the long ball. Pair that up with an incredible defense, which was on display last night, and you get a great pitching performance. Last night was the ultimate Earl Weaver game plan: Pitching, Defense, and The 3-run HR. Sad that some...

    What a failure of a first inning. We left THREE men on base. How many 5 run, 3 LOB innings can this team put up and expect to win?

    Arizona Diamondbacks @ Texas Rangers Aug 13 - Aug 14, 2018

    The DBack’s baserunning in the second game was incredible. This team can’t hit. That’s why it frustrates you all so much, but it runs the bases and fields so well. That’s why it’s competitive. When they string some hits together, they look good, but it just doesn’t happen often because you...
