I'd roll.with Stott, see if he keeps improving. Not so sure I want to roll with Bohm.

i haven't looked too deeply into bohm this year but the pd regression is a bit concerning although his expected numbers were above league average
Davy Andrews

This morning I was FaceTiming with my niece and she had me look up the contract status of all her favorite Padres so she'd know who was leaving and who was staying.

Is Maldonado the last batter for Suarez?
Davy Andrews
9:33
I'd be surprised if he sees Altuve with two on.
Jeremy
9:33
Pull Suarez if Altuve comes up?

Smoltz still doesn’t understand third time through the order penalty😂
Ben Clemens
9:33
I cannot get over Rob Mains's article about how John Smoltz was actually terrible the third time through the order
Davy Andrews
9:34
I was telling someone about it the other day. They--and I cannot stress this enough--did not care.
Kyle Kishimoto

my favorite articles from baseball writers are the ones that absolutely dismantle elements of "traditional wisdom", another favorite of mine besides this is russell carelton's article about how the shift still works even in double play opportunities
Ben Clemens
9:33
It's my favorite
Jeremy

Dammit, seeing eye grounder.
Kyle Kishimoto
9:33
great hitting from the silver slugger nominee!
Morlock Jimenez
9:34
Very Silver Sluggish!
Ben Clemens
Bunk
9:35
Surprised Suarez is staying in
Jeremy
9:35
Suarez got Altuve; he's done now right?
Ben Clemens
9:35
I would think so

Are there any studies out there on third time through the order based on how the starter has done the first two through?
Ben Clemens
9:36
There are. I can't dig them up offhand but they found little effect. I think it was at BP and might be called 'everything you want to know about the times through the order penalty' or something?
Kyle Kishimoto
9:38
it demonstrates that "[guy who usually doesn't go deep into games] is cruising!" is a pretty terrible argument
Kyle Kishimoto
9:37
you know what i take back what i said about the shift article that might be my #1 favorite piece of baseball analytics writing
Marsh’s Beard
9:37
It’s in play! Phillies fans hold their collective breath…

Chances Suarez comes out for the 6th? I put the odds at 1%.
Kyle Kishimoto
9:38
he was hugging his buddies in the dugout, i'll take the under on this
Kyle Kishimoto

marsh slugged .543 against offspeed pitches in the regular season, far better than fastballs or breakers
Finnegan’s Seam Shifted Wake
9:42
The new competitive advantage is always hugging your teammates so your opponent doesn’t know what pitcher to prepare for
Morlock Jimenez
9:43
I qas going to joke about no one seeing Marsh and Gritty in the same place, but there's probably an Instagram account of just pics of those two together.
Jeremy
9:43
SCHWARBER!
RTJ
9:44
well that was far
Kyle Kishimoto
9:44
frantically refreshing baseball savant
Ben Clemens
9:44
Lance McCullers is really wearing this one
Davy Andrews
9:45
I've started viewing these games through the lens of: How will this affect the score Ben gives the manager?
Kyle Kishimoto
9:44
113/27 holy moly
Marsh’s Beard
9:44
Schwarbomb!!!!!!!!!
Boom!!!!!
Ben Clemens
9:45
I'm getting closer to thinking he's tipping pitches
b/c Schwarber just knew that was a changeup
