It's literally the object of pitching, trying to prevent solid (or any) contact without walking or hitting batters
Lol, not a joke but in retrospect…I suppose it was a pretty silly question.
I assume that having movement on your pitches and keeping batters off balance/making weaker contact was the answer. But with an Eric’s obsessive exit velocity stats, I was thinking maybe…oh, I don’t flippin’ know. It was a dumb question, lol.

I’ll take the heat. Lay it on me!
Ha! All good. This team is finished, if they can't get even so much as a decent start from 3/5 of their rotation.
But what is really comical is the first inning ratio for runs. What is it now, 45 Runs given up, and 9 scored?
Can you imagine the backlash? Eppler and Buck would have to be on crack if that happened---or just plain fired.
alvarez just passed nidos career best homers in a single season. and his defense has been great. agreed unless he finds himself in some kind of brutal slump you can't send him down.

P.S. Here comes another run!

canha - 97mph grounder
alvarez - 103 mph homer
lindor - 101 mph 2b
mcneil - 94 mph single
hit it hard and good things happen. as far as baseball stats being predictive go it's hard for me to see one more important.

In 2021, hard-hit batted balls produced a leaguewide .500 batting average, a 1.015 slugging percentage, and a .625 wOBA. On the flip side, batted balls hit below 95 miles per hour produced a leaguewide .221 batting average, a .263 slugging percentage, and a .208 wOBA. These statistics make it pretty clear there is a value in hard-hit rate.

I didn’t mean to use the word “obsessive” as a bad thing - sorry if you took it that way. I enjoy your posts.

I want him gone. Guy is trash. Not sure why they brought him back this season.
by pitching better? that's like literally what makes pitchers good (or in this case bad).
Coop was this a joke?

I'll be dead by the top of the 2nd
when he's missed he's missed bad though because the indians have a bunch of loud contact on him (obviously).
if you are going to get tagged for homers it helps if they are solo's like alvarez' and not 3 run homers like naylors.

So I stopped being lazy for a minute and looked it up - it was 38-10 before tonight, so 41-10.
News flash - that's bad. Like REALLY bad...

Have you seen Buck? He can absolutely send him down, he's that fucking stupid

HAHA!
"they got lucky"
Can we get a couple of legit ML relievers?
is it that hard to find reliable relief pitchers?
bringing in Leone, who is brutal, after the Mets cut the lead to 2, is questionable.
is there no one better they could have brought in?
As soon as I saw him come in, I knew it wasn't going to end well

Call up Luis G to pitch in his place. We'd be better off.
