I’m predicting Betances ends up with an ERA over 4 this year.

I dunno what it is right now but I'm guessing it's quite high. Two appearances, two gone runs. Both were crushed pretty good too. Straight away center. His fastball has heat on it but it looks flat.

Pillar steals 2nd 3rd and home in the 8th inning

Meh it worked out but it was stupid. Fun as hell to watch tho.
Stealing home is almost never worth the risk.
If the Yankees pitcher hadn’t panicked he would have been out easily.

On a side note had anyone ever stolen all 4 bases in on inning?

Is not a play in a vacuum though. Obviously, if the pitcher is paying attention and makes a good throw the river is gonna be out 99.9 percent of the time but that's not how it is. The reason why it works is because the pitcher often will panick and make a bad throw. That's like the whole premise of the play.

How do you steal 1st?

Ngoepe with 2 strikes against Betances. Pillar stays where he is I'd give Ngeope about a 10% chance of getting a hit there if that. Pillar was so far off the base there, even with a good throw by the time Betances steps off, throw home and the tag happens Pillar might get in there anyway. I think I'd give him a better than 10% chance TBH.

are you calling a K wild pitch stealing 1st? Because I'm pretty sure it's impossible to steal first. Segura tried to steal 2nd twice in trip around the bases though, so in theory you could steal 4 bases in 1 trip around. He stole 2nd, and then in an odd play shortly afterwards thought he was out and started jogging back to the dugout, only to realize he was still safe so went to 1st. Then tried to steal 2nd later on only to be caught stealing.

Silly me thinking Ryan McMahon would actually start a game in this series. Gotta get CarGo/Parra/Desmond's bat in there instead

Yes I was referring to taking first on a wild pitch after striking out. I know it’s not really stealing, I should have been more clear.

Kyle Gibson has a no-hitter through six, but he's thrown 102 pitches.

 

[Evincar]

Darvish picking up where he left off last season.

 

[Scott Stevens]

There was a request made in the offseason to do it like this with some support. We'll give this a try for a little while and see whether this or the old method is liked more.

I cannot see what the harm in a daily gtd is. Just get @mymerlincat to do it. He’s the thread master.

 

[Deen]

Stroman still has to pitch yet. It's far from over.

I agree, things are relevant.

Why not just keep 1 thread like it's always been

I second this...or maybe a weekly thread.

Actually I kinda like the idea of a weekly thread. Do like the fantasy schedule, Monday to Sunday.

Cy Young front runner

 

[GKJ]

We're 3 games into the season and the Phillies are into using position players as pitchers.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Lovullo had a lefty warming up, yet he left the righty in to face Blackmon. That didn’t end well.

The Cubs dynasty finally pulls ahead of the plucky underdog Marlins in the 10th.

$106 million dollar investment in 3 bullpen pitchers worked!

 

[GKJ]

Last night the Phillies had a fiasco where Gabe Kapler made a pitching change so quickly that the pitcher didn’t even have time to warm up.

depends on the team boards philosophy, some allow discussion there as well as here, just as they cover the affiliates in said boards

I saw that...and the SP wasn’t injured was he? If not, Atlanta has every right to be peeved.

Correct, he wasn’t injured. You’re right, the umpire said he trying to protect the pitcher and not let him get hurt. Which is the Phillies job. I think he was doing that willing to take the heat knowing he wasn’t enforcing a rule
