One of the true joys in life is watching WED be bamboozled by day games and you want to go and spoil it
I gotta say, I knew that today’s game was at 12:20, but was still going to forget about it until the fifth inning.
People have hyped Chuck's last 3 starts as turning the corner, but if you go back to May you can kinda see where he really turned the corner with his command, but just continued to have some bad batted ball luck that kept his ERA inflated. Post-May 14: 45.2 IP (5.2/start), 12.42 K/9, 1.77 BB/9, 1.58 HR/9 (but 22.9% of his fly balls turned into homers, which is double league average), .304 BABIP (league average is .287), 40.9% GB, 89.8 avg EV, 4.34 ERA, 3.64 FIP, 2.49 xFIP Pre-May 14: 28.2 IP (4.2/start), 7.22 K/9, 5.34 BB/9, 0.94 HR/9 (7.9% HR/FB), .310 BABIP, 36.0% GB, 87.5 avg EV, 5.65 ERA, 5.09 FIP, 5.68 xFIP Seems like early he didn't trust his stuff and was picking and since around this start he's just said fuck it and put it in the strike zone. Still has had some mistakes but the stuff keeps getting better and the results are still improving.
Feel like you were still trashing him pretty heavily then while Loubias famously defended him. Hmmmmm…..
Duvy is 0-11 career against him lol. Ozzie was 0-9 which defies his career splits. We don’t have real great numbers against him outside of lil D and Goose.
Can we just stop shifting for the remainder of this game? Has repeatedly fucked us this series against these assholes.
dans gets away from frauddie and immediately has a career year. wood cries about mean hypotheticals towards frauddie and he immediately gives up 5 in 1+ hmmmm
Playing the infield in there was comically stupid by Kapler in a 3-1 game with the bases loaded and Kyle getting hit around a little.
“Right in front of the 375 sign” as he caught the ball in medium depth RF. Wtf is Chip even talking about?
