  • Cardinals: 5.08
  • A's: 4.65
  • Orioles: 4.49
  • Marlins: 4.47
  • Red Sox: 4.47

that number for the Nationals is disgusting, more than run and a third higher than the next closest team

Colin Poche and Lucas Sims leading the way with 15.88 and 15.26 ERA respectively

The Cubs are going to use like 125 pitchers this year and I'll be mad at all but like 3 of them.

There's that many active AAA-ish pitchers over 35?

haven't played a single division opponent yet but have played the entire NL West except for Colorado, bring back the couple that used to do schedules with like cutout pieces of cardboard.

also one last cubspost because it is relevant with the dodgers in town, but turner seems completely washed. cool guy, fun to have on the team, great career, but i do not think he has a place on major league team anymore. i don't think i've seen him hit one out of the infield all season.

It think it's legally impossible for any baseball fan to feel good about their bullpen.

I feel pretty good about the Yankee bullpen. Their main problem is overwork because of the rotation. And I guess Devil Williams having hiccups but he’s a reliever. Of course he sorta sucks every 3 or 4 games.

I assume because they have a good record while having the toughest on-paper schedule in baseball through till May? It's still dumb as hell though, considering how low the Dodgers are, lol

For comparison, Fangraphs has the Cubs at 3%, comparable to the Giants at 2.4%, but really, I'm just posting this because god drat it has the Dodgers at 21%, which is still frankly absurd to me this early in the season. One in five to win the whole drat thing is some crazy odds.

the BReff projections use an extremely simple method of estimating team quality and strength of schedule that’s basically “what’s your record over your last 100 games?” Or something like that

Basically any "strength of schedule" calculation is going to punish really good teams because their schedule is inherently lighter given they're at the top end and thus most every other team is considered "weaker" than them. The whole "strength of schedule" thing only really works on its own when you're talking about teams at or near the middle of the pack.

That seems much more realistic.

The Cubs ain't winning poo poo without adding a real 3B and another two SPs

Amazing stat mentioned on the O’s broadcast - over their last 8 games, opposing teams 7-8-9 hitters had an OPS over 1.300 against them.

Are they running out of time studying scouting reports each day? Jesus.

it’s not just strength of schedule either, the BReff projections currently think the Dodgers are the 3rd best team in the NL West and the 5th best team in the NL, behind ARI, CHI, SD, and MIL

It thinks the Phillies and Cardinals are equally strong at 10th in the NL, and the Tigers are the best team in the AL

I didn't understand what this could mean when he exited the game and now I'm hearing that it can be a precursor to TJS.

Whelp, at least I got to see them win game 1 in 2022, that was cool.
