I feel like you're thinking that fip thinks Stroman is better. That's not what it's for. It's a stat that gives you expected performance for a player based on their rates of walks, homers and strikeouts.
Fip is saying that you should expect/project Stroman to do a little better and Happ to regress a bit. WAR is the stat you'd use to judge who's better in any given year. |
The Orioles have hit 4 homers in the 1st inning first 5 batters

Red Sox are about to overtake the division with what I think will be relative ease.

I'm still pulling for Toronto baby
|
You and me both, handsome ;)
Tough loss lastnight but unless your Zach Britton you can't save'm all, plus the whole team apart from the pitching was dreadful last night. Serious concentration lapses. |
Nah. I think it's just the peaks and valleys of a season. They have a very, very good rotation and their lineup is legit. They'll be fine.

No issue with Osuna getting smacked around. Would rather he went out there and gave up bombs then went out there and walked guys. He'll shake it off like he always has. Was VERY impressed with Liriano. Buck Martinez and Pat Tabler called it before game, and said in his side session he was throwing a nasty 4 seam fastball and it really paid dividends in the start. Grilli and Benoit were also very good. Grilli this year has been sensational for the Jays and is the glue holding the bullpen together. Biggest issue for the team is 7-9 in the line up. And by 7-9 I mean Justin Smoak and BJ Upton. Upton I can deal with because he is a very potent ball player when he wants to be, but Justin Smoak has proven time and time again he cannot hit with runners on base and frankly isn't that good with the bases empty. His strikeout rate is staggering. He's a good defensive first basemen but at this point, you may as well have a pitcher batting in his spot. He's been extended, but he deserves to be DFA'd. |
When you can only complain about the bottom third of your lineup you're in a good spot lol
|
well I could complain about a few other things but at the end of the day they're 16 games over .500 and they play hard.
|
When Upton lines a pitch up, he has a gorgeous swing.
|
He does. He's a fun player to watch when he gets going.
|
Another nailbiter in Cleveland.
|
Damn Baltimore is going to be behind both teams by a couple games now. So happy.
|
But they're the best team to ever be 2 games behind in their division. Best. Ever.
|
Droford has been awfully quiet
|
lol I don't care to give him too hard of a time about Baltimore not doing well, afterall they have a decent enough team to go on a run. As you said Damo, peaks and valleys of the season.
|
Brett Gardner.. PLAY OF THE FUCKING YEAR HOLY SHIT
|

|

With his blessing, Toronto is going to option Aaron Sanchez down for a ten day break.

The Orioles managed to win by dodging Strasburg..
|
Thanks Tampa Bay. Sox in first place tie.
|
I only saw one play in that game and it was the home run robbing catch in bottom 8.
|
Frustrating and Amusing that the Orioles can suck so bad vs the Astros but go crazy vs the Nationals
|
orules are gunna get their ass swept dude
bet on it |
Swept by who? They're up 5-2 in the 1st of 2 in DC and they took both games in Baltimore. Of Scherzer wasn't pitching vs Ubaldo tomorrow id like their chances for a 4 game 2 city 2 series sweep. Stranger things have happened
Plus the Angels are up 6-0 on Toronto.. |
the DAMN yankees thats who
|
Rays trying to beat the Sox via walk off
