Right. The problem with PP is 10% bad shooting luck and 90% lack of chances. Being the left-most team on this graph is bad.

I always assumed Dieter uses that for mound meetings because of “All I ever needed is here in my arm(s), words are very unecessary, they can only do harm.”

I guess I’m trying to forecast what they should do within the context what I expect they’ll actually do. I agree that including Enrique is a bad idea but I doubt they’ll actually move on from him. (Same thing with Rojas).

That can’t be real. That’s gotta be Key in a wig.

I agree he’s not replicating that season (although I don’t think it was the park for Grisham the way it was for Bellinger - his road splits were way better).
I’m not married to Grisham, but they need a LH OF. Téo, Pages, Call, Edman and Enrique is a bunch of guys who hit lefties but not righties.

I suspect any LHH outfielder other than Tucker will be playing the big side of a LF platoon (with Kiké).
I agree Grisham isn’t an everyday CF anymore. But I think his defense plays fine in LF 19 times and CF 2 or 3 times a month.

I worry that “Mookie as a good SS” has a short life-span and he needs to move back to 2B sooner rather than later.
I also think Grisham makes sense as a LF/occasional CF and on a timeline that doesn’t block Hope/De Paula.

Vacations where you don’t have to worry about having enough books is wonderful.

I could talk myself into trading Sheehan to Boston for Duran and backfilling Sheehan in the rotation with Imai.
Spend the money on Imai to fix LF indirectly, and do it for less term than signing Tucker.

I’m in the stretch between BH and Culver. We lost power (and cell service) for about 20 min. Back now. LADWP still shows a big outage.

It’s hard to be mad at a team that’s 1st in 5v5 GF%, 2nd in 5v5 xGF%, 2nd in SCF%, etc… but it actually makes me more aggravated at special teams not pulling their weight.

They kinda need to make a trade if they’re going to bring in an actual LF (and not just go with a Call/Kiké split out there). Not much room between now and February.

Ruiz probably right. Could Gonsolin be the other one?

That it’s $8M total for him and Protas for the next four years, and not $8M per is crazy.

It’s also reassuring that Michael Busch and Gavin Lux (whose LH bats were missed last month) didn’t turn into nothing.

The comparison between the left-hand-hitting age-30 OF with 11.7 BWAR the last five years vs the left-hand-hitting age-29 OF with 11.5 BWAR the last five years is going to be really interesting.
Especially with them having opposite Home/Road splits playing for the same team last year.
