honestly I think I enjoy shift-beating bunts more than anything in the game right now

it's crazy how both this and the cobb signing were deeply shitty in the exact same way.... minus the giant contract in straily's case

tbf alex cobb was pretty good before the TJ surgery. dan straily . . . had a nice season in the minors in 2012
― mookieproof, Thursday, 23 May 2019 17:07 (five years ago) link
if you can bunt for a single AND cause the opposing pitcher to stroke out then yeah, its almost better than a home run

Subjective observation that may or may not be true: I don't ever remember so many teams, day in and day out, scoring 10+ runs a game. It feels like three or four teams do it every day. Are runs historically high this year, or am I just fixating on a few games?
― clemenza, Saturday, 25 May 2019 22:23 (four years ago) link
Up a fifth of a run from last year, identical to 2017, half a run lower than PED peak. So no. Maybe it's a distribution thing.
― clemenza, Saturday, 25 May 2019 22:27 (four years ago) link
i am willing to believe that because, especially in the AL, we have some really good teams and some disastrously awful ones, that there are more blowouts than usual. but i have no data for it
― mookieproof, Saturday, 25 May 2019 22:59 (four years ago) link
Here are run totals of 10+ the last couple of weeks, both leagues:

That can't possibly be normal.

bell is a great hitter this year, but he gives away half of his value in the field and he can't run

On Tuesday, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand that the Yankees and Braves had emerged as frontrunners for Keuchel, with offers in the same ballpark. Soon after, however, a second source told Feinsand that the Yankees appear to be the true favorites, with Atlanta part of a second tier of suitors, including the Twins and possibly the Cardinals.
