     I was reading about Loperfido some more and his problematic K rate. One thing I read is not so much that he whiffs a bunch, but apparently he takes a ton of strikes looking. I know at least one of his K's last night was staring at Strike 3. Hopefully being a little more aggressive at the plate is something that can be taught.

    He looked at a really good pitch for strike 2 in that AB as well. Those were his worst two (maybe only bad 2) swing decisions in 5 AB’s so not going to kill the guy for that.

    I guess we pinchrun for Yainer here?

    Sure. That burns every position player we have up if it’s with Dubon and then caratini coming in to catch right? 
    since we chose to play this game a guy short.

    I mean, Martinez?

    The game doesn’t matter. If  it did you’d have started JV on normal rest right?  Instead we are getting 2 out of our closer who never does this in April? 
    it’s a disaster waiting to happen.

    Memorial Day is when we usually know everything right? Isn’t that when the stats become a good predictor of everything the rest of the season?

    or is it earlier in May?

    Memorial Day is the traditional metric. Lots of stats stabilize before then- some stabilize after like 20 or 30 AB’s. Most between 100-150. So, probably a little before then.

    Guardians have 19 wins and lowest EV in baseball

    At the tail end of our podcast I said basically Cleveland is the inverse of USA. Inverse records. Inverse luck. I’d be surprised if we don’t play much better ball than them over the last 135 games.
