The wrecking crew known as the NY Yankees in tropical weather Chicago is nasty , I pity Keuchal today. The amount of opposite field homers already this series is crazy
-
*Tapia is left-handed too. He’s still a Rockie in my mind I guess. Though I imagine the Jays hope they don’t have to give him many ABs.

Yeah, I don’t get the point either. P/AB or P/PA might be more useful. Re Chapman though teams seem to go out of their way to avoid using LHPs vs the Jays whenever they can. Vlad, Springer, Bo, Téo, Kirk, Jansen, Chapman, Lourdes, and Espinal are all righties; the only left-handed hitters are Collins and Biggio. This is probably why the Red Sox don’t seem to care if Sale gets vaccinated.

That makes sense. I guess I was thinking in terms of at-bats rather than games, so the idea that the denominator could actually be greater than the total number of games played hadn’t occurred to me. Suddenly I’m unsure of the value of the stat as the system produces it.
-
In Chapman's case, he's played in 32 games, he's seen RHP in all 32 and LHP in 15 of them. So, ((32*2.42)+(15*1.78))/32 = 3.25 ppg.

In other words, a "versus righties game" is often not a full game's worth of at-bats, so the point total should be less than a full games total.

It makes sense, doesn't it? Imagine a player who has played in 10 games total...but saw righties in 8 of those games and lefties in 6. The total games denominator will be smaller than the sum of the 2 versus denominators.

How is it possible that Chapman can be averaging 2.42 pts against righties, 1.78 against lefties, and 3.25 overall? I think there may be an issue with Niv’s system.

Gleyber Torres homered and drove in five runs on Wednesday, powering the Yankees to a 5-3 victory over the Blue Jays
-
The new dimensions and raised walls at Camden Yards have yielded the 3rd fewest HR so far
-
I'm sitting Quantrill as I see a high scoring game
-
While not as prounounced as Wrigley ( not as close to the lake ) , it will be hitters paradise @ White Sox all week with 80s/90 humidity and sw winds . Those from the Midwest can recall the years like this with no spring, then instant summer .
-
Wow once highly touted Gleybor turned to trash

Flip those prospects! Make it happen!

I know its temporary but damn it feels good to be back on top

George Kirby Era today too.

The Alek Thomas era is upon us, great looking prospect
-
Thanks Commish. Fortunately Brent and Charles have moved back into their natural places ahead of me, so if I can wrap things up before the 2nd Dodgers game starts it should be fine.

Pat a few years back I sold off while in 2nd in like July, so I’m certainly not one of the ones potentially holding a pitchfork
-
Man is Moronta a fat blobling , reminds me of former red sox rp Rich Garces
-
I sat both Smyly and Thompson in this league today ,want no part of LAD lineup
-
So now I’m back in 2nd. I hope the league doesn’t come after me for tanking from in the money. It’s mostly Freddie putting on a show (21.5 points so far, with another game plus to go) for the trade market.

Um, thanks Fred. Actually kind of surprised that 1 stupid lineup decision means the difference between 2nd and 6th. We’re nicely bunched. Hömbres performance is an illusion though, built entirely on a sandy foundation of almost 312 IP. 3.63 ppg isn’t gonna take anyone very far.

Pat you missed out on 35.20 points out of relief

Damnit, I know what the follower symbol looks like…but still I put Aragorn into an SP slot.

I'll probably have a martini. Hmmm. That's missing the point I guess.
I did have a quesadilla for lunch.

Does everyone have a battle plan for Cinco de Mayo (yes i realize its a marketing ploy made up event/holiday) feasting tonight? Im having a token shot of decent tequila (although not a tequila fan) and Modela Negra beer along with a chile reno- carna asda combo plate. Im sure Brent has a plan in mind
-
I’m pretty happy with Bell, Gray, and Ruiz, thank you very much
-
ha. happy to help
-
Brent, that made me laugh out loud.... Thanks
-
Setting my line-up today, I was checking out my team's production by position section and saw that my C position has contributed a stellar 1.06 points. Not P/G, but TOTAL points.
-
I forgot to mention warm.front coming in, while not howling , wind is flowing out , advntage hitters
-
So Effross is a must-start then?
-
Its a pitchers day @ Wrigley , 38° wet , wind blowing in
-
However , this year may be different , and sellers won't appear until July
-
As we get into May and a few more decide to fold their hand , I'm way open for business . Today for tomorrow trades, ideally looking for a Bat like haul ( from last season ).
-
I need two more SP , love/like my staff but not enough troops
-
Yeah, the weird "All batters are terrible, all pitchers are great" environment really encourages parity.
-
I've been looking at the standings and everyone is in it so far. The teams at the bottom all have innings. The ratios are all manageable. Pretty cool.

I had the same worry about Gausman vs the Stros in the dome but decided to ride him anyway, which worked out fine. Encourages me to use Eflin at the Mets. Otoh I (in Capped) had no such worries about Cobb vs the punchless (except Soto, and who pitches to Soto?) Nats….
