bmags Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Still don't buy it, something is up. "Likely start sunday"...uh, and what if he doesn't? WHat would be the reason for 9-10 days between starts if he "feels great"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 He'll start Sunday. I think they wanted to keep it open just in case he got in the game Tuesday and wanted to have an option. Personally, I would have had him starting in 3 hours, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDF Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:23 PM) That's a good sign. However, Sale seems like the type that wants the ball every time out even when he isn't fully healthy, so hopefully he isn't pitching hurt. oh man, that mean this makes the other debate moot. or is it mute??? ummm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that some sort of advanced metric? http://www.baseballprospectus.com/glossary...at&stat=123 It's really simplistic. Abuse points for a game are (Pitch Count - 100)^3, so every additional pitch over 100 is a little bit worse than the one before it. Obviously 100 is an arbitrary number, and the 115th pitch in one game might be less stressful than the 95th in a different game. It does appear in BP's "Archaic" glossary, so I don't know if anybody takes PAP seriously or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 One of the most dominating pitchers in the game. Hard to believe but when this season is over he'd have spent five full years in the bigs. And he hasn't come close to sniffing a playoff start. Such a shame.

"He's better than top 20 and probably more top 10 but a few I'd prefer over him? Kershaw, Grienke, Bumgarner, Price, Archer, Keuchel, Cueto, Scherzer, Kluber, Arrieta, Gray" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
