Bring me some meds for Rico Garcia

[Peepaw]

It's bound to get intimate as we face the O's 7 times in 11 days this month. Let's hope we don't have to play come-from-behind ball against them. Garcia bests Mason Miller in all but saves and strikeouts.

fWAR is a funny thing.

Did anyone watching last night's game think Luke Raley had a worse defensive performance than Mark Vientos? Vientos made an error and failed to corral multiple grounders that an avg 1B would nab.

Yet he was worth -0.1 fWAR defensively to Raley's -0.2... who for the life of me seemed to play an OK right field. No errors... nothing egregious stands out.

Vientos was only worth -0.1 fWAR on the night when he made an error, failed on more defensive plays, and went 0-4... including a GIDP that killed a potential Mets inning.

Anyone think we should make Brash the Closer?

It's the sample size that's absurd, defensive metrics are supposed to be three seasons worth to get an accurate measurement. But everyone wants to adjust WAR on a daily basis. That be my first question to one of the people running these sites. How do you rectify that?

Only if we can cut Munoz & trade for Chapman
