Most of baseball, in the end, comes down to simple execution.

pirates fan here and seeing these two pitch against each other, i am sad
Brendan Gawlowski
7:38
I buy the idea that there are small advantages to be mined in batter/pitcher matchups, but that there's too much noise to do it effectively at any kind of scale
It is very, very sad

Cole now the fastest pitcher to get 100 playoff Ks by inning (79 IP), just barely edging out Kershaw (80 IP)
AvatarDan Szymborski
7:39
Yeah. I mean just for something like *platoon* splits, actual platoon splits don't became as predictive for a batter vs. generic platoon splits until you're literally at thousands of PA
Brian CashGod
7:39
Pirates were never going to keep Cole, but that Archer trade, yikes...
Brendan Gawlowski
7:39
Just want to give a plug to Bob Gibson's 92 in 81 innings, which if you adjust for era, is insane

Well, Glasnow's not trying to nibble.

Regarding pitcher match ups isn't it much more reliable to compare results against certain types, I. E hitter hits well against lefties who throws fastballs up?
Brendan Gawlowski
7:40
Yes
AvatarDan Szymborski
7:40
Yup
When you're talking TYPES, that's different
7:41
Type vs. Type is the true pitcher/batter matchup

Pittsburgh aimed for an Archer, but Tampa Bay hit the bullseye.

Banned from FG? That one shoudl sent you to prison.

But Huntington traded Cole for players who were not highly thought of in the industry.

If Glasnow pitches well tonight, could that popularize starting on 2 days rest in the postseason?
AvatarDan Szymborski
7:42
Probably not.
Brendan Gawlowski

Joe Musgrove is a decent arm, but there's a whiff of Ernie Broglio there
Shiiiiiiiin Gojira!
7:42
Especially if the Rays lose but even if they don't, they're trading or signing a bat first, RHH catcher yah? Willson Contreras?
AvatarDan Szymborski
7:42
Musgrove is pretty intriguing, but yeah.

Can we somehow combine Stanton/Arozarena into a single person named "Giancarlo Arozarena" to obtain not only a prolific power hitter, but also the most musical name in MLB history?
Brendan Gawlowski
7:43
Their next catcher was a second-stringer somewhere in the Eastern League; he'll accrue 2.8 wins next season.
7:45
Glad Marvin wore his cup today

All the talk of starting on short rest reminds me of Bauer: do you think any team lets him start every 4 days next year, like he wants to?  Also, should the Yankees be in on him given that Tanaka and Paxton are free agents?
Brendan Gawlowski
7:46
I don't; I'm more curious to see if he makes good on his plan to sign one-year deals in perpetuity
I assume the Yankees would be interested

Gerrit Cole records the rare 3-pitch strikeout that also included a couple of balls.
Brian CashGod
7:46
this actually brings up a question I was asked the other day - do any players on the field not wear a cup? obviously catcher, presumably IF / P, but not sure if the OFs do?
Brendan Gawlowski
7:47
The famous example here is Beltre
But Mitch Haniger didn't either
Guest
7:48
after chapman and britton who do you think is the 3rd most trusted guy out of the yankees pen tonight?
AvatarDan Szymborski
7:48
Green I think.
Brian CashGod
7:48
Beltre didn't? Oof that can't have been good
Brendan Gawlowski
7:48
Yes and he took one in the bad place
Finished the game, but went on a long trip to the DL afterwards

Springer intrigues me. He grew up a Red Sox fan and the Sox need a CF. Hard to believe he is already over 30.

The "contused testicle" on the injury report is usually a dead giveaway

I didn't wear a jock. I needed all the help running as it was.
