Devers defense trending up, Bogaerts defense trending down so far this season, it looks like to me.

And a crazy amount of payroll flexibility Damn it that ball was scorched Right - but go look at pitching, catchers and OF.Not exactly a flush market. Bloom is not a “sign the best free agent at a position of need” kind of GM, so that may not be a useful exercise in terms of predicting his moves.

Why I love Chris Sale immensely: Works fast, throws strikes. Sawamura is the total opposite of that. Just excoriating to watch not matter what the results are

Traditional managing says you don't bring the IF in with runners on 2nd and 3rd because you can give up two runs on a ball that gets through.
Analytics says do it.
I guess it'll even out over the whole season if they do it every time...

Right - but go look at pitching, catchers and OF.Not exactly a flush market. Bloom is not a “sign the best free agent at a position of need” kind of GM, so that may not be a useful exercise in terms of predicting his moves. And he doesn't trade top prospects for top prospects in positions of need.So predictive is...dumpster diving? On a more serious note, I'm believing more and more that in a 3-true-outcome league the undervalued asset is multiple high OBP singles/doubles hitters.

Stat offered by Will on the radio:
In his last 162 games, Byron Buxton has 44 HRs. Unfortunately, you have to go back to May 2019 to get 162 games.

This is the gameday thread, not a discuss what might never happen next season thread. Personally, I'm still looking forward to this season before worrying about next season.
