Welcome to starting pitching in 2021. If Cease is taking the ball 30+ times and going ~6 IP per start that's incredibly valuable. If there's a team that can afford their starters to go 5, it's this one. We've allocated almost 30% of our payroll to the bullpen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting them swing away is bad strategy is this point. Bunt the runner over and get *something* productive out of their ABs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t realise he was averaging 6IP. Just seems like so often his pitches are closing in on 70-80 in under 4.

The sac bunting has become less and less prevalent. We're still third in the AL in sac bunts, but 18 of the 21 came in the first half. We've had 3 sac bunts in the 2nd half. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTB Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Just turned the game on in the last 20 minutes and haven’t read through the thread. Am I crazy or are the TV angles in the stadium very steep and, IMO, hard to watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
