1. Edmundo got dem ol' Kozma blues again mamaAnyways, Braves hold on for the win to go 18-3 in June.
I’m glad I checked shadedseats.com — it would be too hot for me in the sun.
When same batter comes up announcer says, "if he hits a fly ball, I'm not looking at yepez. He was camped under the last one and it went out"
Through the end of May, the Cubs were giving up 4.55 R/G. In June, they've been giving up ... wait for it ... 7.33 R/G. Pitching coach Tommy Hottovy probably won't last past the AS break although I doubt any of it is his fault.
Amazingly, the Nats are at 5.62 on the year; Rox 5.51, Reds 5.40 then Cubs 5.35.
Not my area of expertise but LL Joe D (presumably some ML Joe D too but such things weren't mentioned in those days).
But to blame their bad call on the LF is pretty bad.
Rizzo v Hosmer (rough contemporaries)
AR 267/367/482, 128 OPS+, 22 Rbat/650, +7 Rfield/650, 15.8% K, 11.0% BB, 280 BABIP, 4.0 WAR/650
EH 277/336/430, 108 OPS+, 6 Rbat/650, -2 Rfield/650, 17.7% K, 8.1% BB, 315 BABIP, 1.8 WAR/650
In a lot of ways, Rizzo is the player many in baseball (esp the Padres) seemed to think Hosmer was. The walks are a big difference but also the G/F ratios. Rizzo's at 0.66 while Hosmer is at 1.23. In the statcast era, Hosmer has a very healthy 90.6 avg EV (Rizzo 89.4) but too many of those hard hits are going into the ground, not the air. Don't be too shocked if Hosmer pulls a Matt Carpenter near the end of his career.
EDIT: And FWIW, b-r puts the career earnings at Rizzo $87 with another $16 coming vs Hosmer $136 with another $39 coming. Quite the bargain the Cubs got and the Yanks aren't complaining either.
Old dog/new tricks and all of that, but with that EV rate and a K rate under 20% and a reasonable contact rate, you'd think someone would have pulled him aside a few years back and said, hey you might want to try to hit in the air more often 'cause you're hitting it hard enough.
Apr (11 g) 296/326/500 -- Javy at his best
May (28 g) 159/202/230 -- Even Javy's probably never been that bad that long
Jun (17 g) 262/313/525 -- classic Javy
It hasn't really been the K-rate either -- a bit under 25% in Apr, 25% in May (good for Javy) and close to 20% in June. He had a 207 BABIP in May. His only positive that month was 3 ROE and 2 HBP. His sOPS+ (him v league) was 142 in Apr, 22 in May, 127 in June. 28 games of Jeckyll and 28 games of Hyde add up to ... sucks! Anyway, I'm hoping he's fixed.
AND I see the game ended at a presumably Andy friendly time of 10:30PM---or did he fall asleep on the couch?
Hicks ties it....
...and Judge wins it.
And in between, Gallo naturally struck out. But this was their 9th walkoff win of the year and their 15th straight win at the Stadium.
hence no high expectations from Yankees fans come October after 13 years of wandering in the desert (or 22, absent a juiced A-Rod. or.... well, you know)
what could go wrong?
Not to forget Melky, Cano and Pettitte.
I'm this close (holding thumb and forefinger a fraction of an inch apart) to, "How will the Astros lose today and make me want to extract my internal organs out of my nostril?"
And, yes, I know I have nothing to complain about in the greater baseball universe; things are good. It's just...baseball. Nice win for the Yankees, though.
