Astros already swept the Twins.
Tampa Bay swept the Blue Jays (Ryu got shellacked)
Yankees going for the sweep vs. Indians later. |

Sounds like Dylan Floro was upset about being left off of the Wild Card roster.
Doc seemed to agree that he had every right to be upset. |

I don't have a ton of confidence in Floro, but then again, Joe Kelly is on the roster and I have zero confidence in him. |

| Bellinger in classic form. Pitcher walks the bases loaded, throws a ball, and of course Bellinger tees off and hits a short fly |

| They are interviewing JT during a playoff game. While he is in the field. This is a ridiculous idea. |

| 0-2 pitch. I've been talking about that in here for years. 3-2 now. For a team so dependent on analytics, we're pretty f'ing stupid. But go ahead and keep telling me that the batting average on balls in play is terrible on 0-2. |

This game does not have a good feel to it. Like we should've been up 5-0 or 6-0 after 3 and then Buehler throws an awful pitch and now it's nervous time. |

Nope. Gonna go ahead and just jinx us now and chalk it up as a loss the second Kenley gets in. |

To be fair, you're only focusing on the instances that it goes bad. When they throw junk on 0-2, you never mention it.
I just saw Urias go 0-2 twice and he did exactly as you wished, he threw junk.
The thing is, sometimes they mean to throw junk and they don't execute well and it ends up over the plate.
The announcers kept stating how Smith would set up at a certain position and Buehler kept missing him.
I bet that 0-2 pitch wasn't meant to be over the plate.

We need to get to their bullpen here in the next inning or two before Hader gets in. |

Agree. Just one more run tacked on would make me feel much better. |

Absolutely. We've gotten to him before, but he mowed us down in the 2018 postseason |

I've been talking about Dodger pitchers in general throwing way too many 0-2 strikes for years. Years. Yeah, of course you aren't ALWAYS going to throw strikes on 0-2. My point is that they throw not only strikes on 0-2 far too often, but, like, good pitches to hit, like, hittable strikes. Fastballs right down the middle. That should never, ever happen. And it happens because the Dodgers are heavily reliant on analytics and the analytics spit out that the batting average on balls in play are terrible on an 0-2 count. And what I've said is that, yes, that will show that because many teams don't have a philosophy of throwing strikes on 0-2. To me, if you are throwing a strike on 0-2, you render the count meaningless.
If you want to say that I'm arguing against analytics, fine. But analytics, while useful, need context. They don't tell the entire story. FiveThirtyEight had 5 teams ahead of the Lakers in their model as to which team would win the title. We were still behind both the Heat and Celtics during the WCF -- well behind them -- and before Game 1 of the Finals the Lakers were given a 26% chance to win the series. We blew them out in Game 1, of course, and now our odds have gone up to 45% lol. My point is that analytics aren't everything. You have to be able to use them but also have common sense. And under this current regime, there is no question that Dodger pitchers have a far greater propensity to throw hittable strikes on 0-2 counts. I simply don't like it and when it happens, I'm going to harp on it because it pisses me off.
Rant over. |
