OmarComing25 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Jon Gray with a complete game shutout with no walks and 16 strikeouts at Coors. That's crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Addison Reed is really good now: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/addison-ree...ew-miller-lite/ 2.5 fWAR this year with a ERA under 2. He made a similar mechanical adjustment to Andrew Miller and is now one of the top relievers in the league this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 It is ironic that Reed pitching well in Albers' spot was exactly what the Sox needed...meanwhile, we had to trade three more minor leaguers to cover 3b. Devenski would have done the job as well. That's the cost of all in every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devenski would have done the job as well. That's the cost of all in every year. I think Reed's success is mostly dependent on a mechanical change he made after he got traded to the Mets. He really wasn't very good until after the trade. No guarantee he is what he is today if he stays with the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Kershaw once again leads the MLB in WAR among pitchers despite only pitching 135 innings. He has a 1.73 ERA yet is actually underperforming his peripherals. He should be a serious Cy Young contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 If the Giants win tonight, looking like 3-way tie for two spots with 11 left: Giants- 1 at LA, 4 at SD, 3 vs Col, 3 vs LA Mets- 1 vs Atl, 4 vs Phi, 3 at Mia, 3 at Phi Cardinals- 1 at Col, 3 at Chi, 4 vs Cin, 3 vs Pit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Mets lose. Inciarte robbed Cespedes of a 3-run homer that would have won it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Brian Dozier's splits are absolutely insane this year. He's hit 36 home runs since the start of June with a .676 slugging and .361 ISO. In April and May, he hit 5 homers with a .329 slugging percentage. Dozier's always had good power, but this kind of power surge is almost unheard of.

Ever hear of Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire...oh wait He basically flipped a switch in the middle of the season. Those guys didn't do that, their transformation at least happened over an off-season. Dozier corrected something in his approach and became the most prolific power hitter in the AL somehow.

LittleHurt05 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 If anybody is looking for a catcher, Steve Clevenger is soon to be available and he could probably be had on the very very cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
