Baseball slide still has genuine hope for this team now and in the future, so that just isn't true.

I admit that I get very frustrated with bad losses though.

 

I was pissed too. Kimbrel had nothing, Hyde left him in too long, bats couldn't hit another mid SP. But gotta separate short term and long term thoughts man.

Even the great teams lose 60-70 times a year. The bad teams usually win 60-70 times. It happens.

It usually takes me about an hour to get over it, but in that hour my fingers type some wild things.

85% catch probability on the McKenna ball.

 

A 106 mph line drive at a 20 degree angle hit nearly straight at you freezes you. The recovery time is critical, but again, he was positioned too shallow to make that play.

 

85% chance just isn’t correct at all. This wasn’t a circuitous route to a fly ball in the gap. You have a half second on a lined shot right at you.

I know Bob is getting his numbers from somewhere that is respected but this is twice in a week now where hes told me some probabilities that I firmly disagree with

I’m just posting what I’m seeing from Baseball Savant, no opinion from myself haha.

That ball also had an expected batting average of .720 so 🤷🏼‍♂️.
