What if we gave every pitcher half a run allowed for every run and then half a run to the pitcher or the fielder primarily involved in the play that led to the runs?

It's still evaluating ACTUAL runs, but assigned in a DIFFERENT arbitrary way

What people generally miss is that ALL performance records are only a partial reflection of what a player actually did.

FIP is *far* from perfect. But ERA/RA isn't some blessed record of "actual" performance either.

And at the end of the day, should an Investor of the Year award go every year to someone who wins Powerball?

Yeah Well Hiura Towel

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

How will Boston remember the Chaim Bloom Era?

Dan Szymborski

1:01

No.

Unfairly.

Bloom's largely a scapegoat. He's dealing with the cards that he was given by ownership.

And they've rebuilt the farm system while he's been there.

There's a term for people who think that Bloom was the driving force behind trading Betts: stupid people.

Juniel Querecuto becomes the 6th player in Cardinals history to have a last name begin with a ‘Q’ and first since RHP DanQuisenberry (1988-89).

On that note, I have a ton to do, so I gotta wrap up now.

Thanks for coming all!
