I wish people would quit posting him. Let him go listen to Bon Iver or whatever album he's reviewing today and just ignore his tweets

Most importantly, I’m glad you had a good time at the game. <3

Your post reminded me about something. I was only thinking in the context of relievers, but this is along the lines of your thoughts:

wERA: Rethinking Inherited Runners in the ERA Calculation

There are many things to harp on about traditional ERA, but one thing that has always bothered me is the inherited-runner portion of the base ERA calculation. Why do we treat it in such a binary…

"expected vs. actual runs based on these calculations. This would lose the nature of run assignment to a degree, but would be a more unbiased way to evaluate how much better or worse a pitcher is compared to expectation"

Yes! I wonder if he ended up doing it

Oh also the place went nuclear after the Harper walk. Obviously everyone booed as he was taking his gear off, but when Bohm got up to bat it was like a playoff atmosphere. Everyone was going crazy. Then he jacked one and it blew the top off.

The Barves not giving Acuna, Olson, or Riley a single game off yet despite having a 12.5 game lead in the division is certainly a choice. Would reeeeeally hate to see that come back to bite them in the ass if those guys are burned out in the playoffs.

Charlie simply used the wrong phrase, Harper "plays up to the fans", he doesn't pander to them.
Harper definitely loves playing in Philly, his contract was designed to commit him to the city for the rest of his career, and he's followed that up with working hard to build a positive relationship with the fans.

Not surprised at his breakout, figured it would take him half a season to get his strength and timing down.

Good to see Turner turn it around, but I still wish he'd be more selective, same with Castellanos, refraining from swinging at pitches out in the zone early in the count can make a big difference - check the difference in success when up 2-1 instead of down 1-2 in the count.

Stott is a revelation, example of a high IQ player refining his game and taking it to another level, both his ability to hit with 2 strikes and his adjustment to 2B as a fielder.

Have to imagine they'll have plenty of time off this month but you make a resounding point. We as sixers fans know all too well

Bon Iver hot take

Also, Spencer Howard was released. Getting beat up in AAA

 

[Jack Straw]

Nick Nurse pandering to Philly fans.

Ok, time for #300

Or not.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Swing the damn bat, you bum.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The not bum swung the bat.

 

[Jack Straw]

Trea Freakin' Turner

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

This feels like the prime Utley, Howard, & Rollins teams right now with the offense.

 

[Rebels57]

I didnt even know they were on and Trea out here hitting more go-ahead bombs

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

This feels like the prime Utley, Howard, & Rollins teams right now with the offense.

So what you’re saying is…

It feels like ‘08.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Boooooo.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Not sure who’s a bigger bum this year Soto or Seranthony?

Dominguez for sure. At least Soto gets lefties out

These guys aren't putting anyone away
