I don't know if anyone cares (you don't) but bewbies and I made an avatar bet this spring and the progress so far is.... not what you'd expect! The bet is Danny Duffy vs Julio Urias FIP this year. Royals posters made fun of bewbies for agreeing to this b/c Duffy's ERA has consistently outperformed his FIP and Urias is a high strikeout guy who we should expect to do well by FIP. So how's that going thus far? Danny Duffy - 3.38 ERA - 3.34 FIP Julio Urias - 3.43 ERA - 4.31 FIP (and a 4.71 K/9 lol) Baseball!

Good Dog posted:Has there been any talk/analysis into while teams are throwing fastballs way less than in years past? As average fastball velocity is at an all time high, the % of fastballs thrown is at an all time low.

Paul Zuvella posted:Kershaw is arguable having the best pitcher career through 10 seasons ever. Realistically he'll only get there if he remains healthy and productive into his late 30's. Steve Carlton is a good comp in this regard. He also debuted at age 20, and through his age 29 season had 133 Wins. He reached 300 in his age 38 season, but he also had 6 seasons of 20+ wins including one with 27, which Kershaw is unlikely to get. bawfuls fucked around with this message at 15:39 on May 24, 2017 |

Koufax had a hosed up early career development because he was a "bonus baby." In that era, if a guy got a large enough signing bonus he had to be on the major league roster not stashed in the minors, so Koufax was forced to develop in the majors starting at 19. It took him until age 25 before he figured out how to not walk everyone. He literally never threw a single minor league pitch. It was a real dumb rule which was abolished in 1965. bawfuls fucked around with this message at 15:56 on May 24, 2017 |

They definitely solicit ASG nominations before the season even begins. Andre Ethier is on the ballot despite being on the DL since spring training and currently having no timetable for return.

Its extra stupid since the whole thing is online-only now, it would be trivial to you know, adjust the ballot as the season progresses. How hard would it be to replace Ethier with Bellinger now, for example?

STAC Goat posted:My only problem is that the 6 game suspension is presumably designed to make him miss 2 starts but since its being given out a day after he pitches probably means he only misses 1. Right? So wouldn't it be better to give him like 8 or 9 just to make sure you cover the rotation?

Everyone is missing the most important part of this Strickland-Harper situation: the Giants still lost (and lost again the next day), and now sit 11.5 games back of the first place Dodgers. In unrelated news, the Dodgers have won 6 straight against the Cubs and Cardinals. They have the best run differential in baseball at +87 https://twitter.com/McCulloughTimes/status/869769694756184064

Dodgers have led in attendance every year since McCourt sold the team and that will continue until they are bad. It's the largest stadium by a good margin now so that's an extra advantage in addition to you know, a good team in a large city.
