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. |

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

You and me both, handsome

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.

Quote:
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. |

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.

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.

Ya but if you let both teams grt like a 4 game lead over you its really doubtful you are coming back from that on both teams. And right now it's all about winning the division instead of the toss up wild card game.

2 nights ago was terrible..amazing they could hit 5 hrs and still lose 15-8. I had last night's game split screened with the Ravens game while also watching Takeover on my phone so it was probably a good thing my attention was diverted since it was probably top 3 worst they've played all year...

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.. |
