Hoping it’s just his pride.

He’s been absolutely terrible.

He needs to hit AAA (AA would be better) when any one of the relievers return.

 

The way he was shaking his had after throwing a pitch … not a good sign.

So no one on the left side 3B playing by 2B ..down by 8... How about bunt ..slap the ball the other way ..Jesus does anyone play baseball anymore... Jake hits it right to the 1B where their entire IF is at

I thought Melvin was supposed to be a great manager. I cant believe he is allowing this sloppy play to continue, bad at bats, and now using one of your better, high leverage RPs in a S#$t Show game.

Exactly why didn't Jake pitch.. he is actually pretty good at it

I dont mind losing a game when we play good... I hate losing a game like this one.. BAD BAD baseball

We going to need a SP and a BP arm aren't we..  I dont feel comfortable with Gore likely done for the year.   With only Martinez SP (Wethers/Knher and Lawson would be next up) ...and now trading Snell makes almost no sense until offseason... we have 2 post season 1 2 studs... Clev/Snell piggy back or Snell/Martinez.  Clev/Mart.. could work as 3rd.  .. Manea runs hot/cold and obviously is not 4/60 guy.. more like 4/32.

Davies SP would be easy to obtain and good Depth piece.

Castillo/Montas/Mahler *one* acquisition would be ideal .but not sure doable with +1 or +2 bats added.

It's Go Time and this TEAM needs to get 🔥 Now!.   LFGSD!

Worried about Gore … but in reality he was already ticketed for the pen for the rest of the season … so maybe only an issue until Johnson and/or Pomeranz return. Given the way Gore has been hot/cold lately … might be a built in upgrade for 2022.

Limited trade chips (that others want) … so still think need to priortize offense.

Watching some games noticed some analyst comments that took fly balls and almost instantly were able to say the “this would be a HR in 18 other ballparks, another this would be a HR in 26 other ballparks”. Think Statcast (or similar) was the source quickly tracking the ball and mapping them to other parks.

This is maybe where we fans are at a disadvantage in evaluation of hitters. We tend to look at the usual stats (e.g. SLG or HR) and maybe shade that with our sense of ballpark environments but the GM have more tools with computer technology.

At one simple level … take a HR hitter … all their HR can be plotted (distance, direction, loft, etc.) then “adjusted” for potentially ball park factors (reduce distance for COLO HR but add distance for PETCO HR) to a norm … take that norm and then adjust again for the potential new ballpark. At that point plot the result (distance, direction) and overlay the new ballpark. Possible a 20 HR guy is a 10 HR guy with a lot of warning track FB or just the opposite with a 10 HR guy being a 20 HR guy.

That technology can reduce the odds of being off base on the productivity on a trade/FA target. Logically there are more analytics that can be used in a similar manner making players less or more attractive to a buyer.

Pretty fair to think PETCO mutes power (marine layer, etc) … so would this analysis push Preller away from some of the power hitters and favor others? Or does it move him towards OBP / line-drive types that might play better at PETCO?
