  1. Sad that I will be on a flight during the Devils game tomorrow night. Happy that I will land in Vegas.
  2. @thatgirlmegan @ebtrine @brandon_beachy yes
  3. @michael44107 @sinow three games don't mean much over the course of the year, good sir.
  4. @disorderorder Pretty funny list, but there's a good amount of pro-bowlers there. Thrash number one haha
  5. @Sky_Kalkman @jasoncollette At first it was bad luck, but now they are trying to fix what was fine and making it worse, in my opinion.
  6. @Sky_Kalkman @jasoncollette Lately yes. Earlier no, when high BABIP was his only issue. Then McCann called more breaking balls, now its bad
  7. @Sky_Kalkman If he were at 23% K and ~7.3% walk, I think that's where he'd be best.
  8. @jasoncollette @sky_kalkman Minor's pitched really poorly the past few starts. Think xFIP is best evaluation tool for his season though.
  9. @Sky_Kalkman He's gone deeper, which is why I think there's a balance between this Beachy and last year's that's optimal.
  10. @Sky_Kalkman @jasoncollette The .090 point jump in SIERA worries me. Homers didn't hit him until last start. They'll come in hitter parks.
  11. @Sky_Kalkman @jasoncollette I'd be fine with contact approach if it came along with much lower walk rate.
  12. @Sky_Kalkman @jasoncollette Braves infield D is horrendous. Minor's suffered the bad luck that Beachy's been fortunate to get.
  13. @Sky_Kalkman @mlbnetworkradio @brandon_beachy @braves Has worked so far, but not a strategy worth betting on going forward, IMO.
  14. All I have to say to this is lol: RT @stefanjbecket: Saddest URL of the day ricksantorum.com/stillneedhelp
  15. @DingersMachine but I do think it's fair to say that Ellis and Prado have been some of the best players in the NL
  16. @DingersMachine I think you can make those judgments if there is a larger disparity. A close one, like anything ~.5 away is different.
  17. @Andrewngrant @dingersmachine And diff between 2.4/2.2 is negligible. It's not an exact measure. Just a guide.
