At the moment I have less to discuss than even yesterday but I’m working on it. I was so happy to see the discussion threads carrying on without me last month while I was going thru everything w Theresa but lately I havnt even seen a thread I could come post some thoughts in! You guys slacking!! At the very least I’d like to double up yesterday 1-0 posted thoughts!
We could start with someone explaining Baily Ober to me, pretty much all the things I look at to cap a pitcher (other than watching him or tracking pitches which I havnt done) would tell me he having a worse year, even his fastball velo down a tick, problem is his era and w/l is somehow better, has he been lucky/potential for some regression or is it something else? Even his babip is crazy high this year compared to previous seasons, the only thing I see that is most likely a huge part the equation is he doesn’t walk many. I’d think a tick up in walks with the amount of hits he gives up could lead to his era going up but will more walks happen? That pretty much impossible for me to say. O’s lineup has very limited at bats vs him so that isn’t any help. I hate double headers and this one of a few today. Just trying to find holes to play against Ober but not sure Im doing a very good job. Ober 37:9 k/bb is tough to argue with.
