Quick glance at Statcast says no
Emphasis on quick glance

that's a good question, as they've burned through Ottavino, Kahnle, Green and now Britton, leaving them Chapman from among their top 5.
10:19
wow, that is a big catch from Judge.
that 19 DRS from him in 2/3 of a season is looking about right

I'm thinking Severino in the 8th for his throw day. Let's get a little nuts.

Is there an LA-WAS chat or should we all just ramble here?
Josh Herzenberg
10:21
For now, I'm on LAD-WAS and Jay is on NYY-MIN

Wow Stephen Strasburg looks good

10:22
we're all just rambling. I'm past my pitch count

So who cleans up the mess for Kershaw?  Is Maeda still at all stretched out from starting earlier this year?
Josh Herzenberg
10:22
Urias? May?

Stripling

Are framing runs offset in the offensive or pitching stats? If a catcher frames a strike out, if he’s credited for it, then the pitcher should see the value of the strike out decrease as they didn’t “earn” it.
AvatarJay Jaffe
10:23
Framing runs come out of the pitching WAR. Noticed when I was writing about the Yankees' bullpen, which set WAR records in each of the two previous years, that they had decreased because of our framing stats as well as slight tweaks to the 5-year park factors

I think Boone will start with britton and relieve him with chapman as needed unless they get a few runs here and can go to someone like loaisiga or cessa

10:23
Happ is available in theory too
10:24
but then I'd have thought he'd be in for the Rosario-Sano-Kepler sequence, with 2 lefties out of 3.

What about green?
AvatarJay Jaffe
10:26
he threw 8 pitches in the 6th, got 2 outs, and departed
Belli Flop
10:28
Doesn't Happ have fairly neutral platoon splits?
AvatarJay Jaffe
10:28
oh heavens no. .249 wOBA vs LHB over the past 3 seasons, .324 vs RH. This year, .280 and .345

I have embarrassed myself in front of Jay Jaffe
AvatarJay Jaffe
10:34
unless you're managing against Happ, no need to be embarrassed. we don't all walk around with these numbers in our heads or in binders next to us

Plot twist: Belli Flop is Rocco Baldelli

whoa

Yeah I'm on my phone in the dugout.

It's only one game, but Didi Gregorius seems to swing at every pitch, no matter how far out of the strike zone
AvatarJay Jaffe
10:39
Didi's been a bit of a mess this year. Maybe it's because he hasn't been 100%, or maybe he felt the pressure of missing nearly half his walk year due to TJS while watching Torres play the position adequately, but is 41.1% O-Swing is his worst since his rookie year, and his 84 wRC+ his worst since 2014

Nice diving catch there from Soto

Seems like the Yankees’ strategy is to make sure that all their relieves will be able to pitch in Game 2 , while Minnesota is mostly burning their guys
AvatarJay Jaffe
10:43
well the Twins haven't used Rogers (and won't need him if the score stays like this), Romo, or May, and the Yankees have left themselves a bit of a rickety bridge to Chapman here by going short with their guys — Ottavino not retiring a hitter, for example
Mick

Excellent play there by Kershaw
AvatarJay Jaffe
10:45
And DJ LeMahieu again with the big hit, a bases-loaded double, 10-4
10:46
3-for-5 with 4 RBI for Deej tonight.
10:47
And with that, I think I can shift over to focusing on Dodgers-Nats.
Josh Herzenberg

Welcome aboard
You've missed Strasburg being decent
AvatarJay Jaffe
10:48
Yes but i've been spared watching Kershaw, it sounds like
Josh Herzenberg

They've been...not the same
