OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

They’re still using Hoffman in high leverage so he’s not on the verge of being left off the playoff roster.

Berrios is a better pitcher than most of those 1-inning guys and would be a weapon coming out of the pen. He’s also pitched well in the playoffs before.

I can see Scherzer in high leverage relief but still think he starts game 3.

Nance has been money but he has no track record. One bad outing and he’s probably the odd man out.

And yeah they’re not going into October with Lauer as the only LHP, so Little has to make it as well.

No team will have 2 legit swiss army knife fillers like Berrios and Bassit if thats how it shapes up

As long egos and widdy biddy feelings arent hurt , overall pitching staff is primed to win

Now you add the fucken savage into the mix .......giddy up
 
Bassitt sure, he belongs on the roster, but Berrios doesnt miss bats. I dont understand why he can be viewed as a weapon in the bullpen. I dont think his stuff plays up at all in there, and in no world do i want him for high leverage or coming in with men on.
 
Berrios

career Playoffs: 4gms, 15.0ip, 29.7k%, 9.4b%, 82era-, 62fip-, 81xfip-

2023 w/Jays: 1gms, 3.0ip, 41.7k%, 8.3b%, 70era-, 21fip-, 21xfip-

Berrios' stuff plays up in the playoffs, and managers don't try to get him a 3rd time through lineups.

He's lost a tick on his fastball this year, so maybe he can't do it again, but the fact that he's been middling as an SP this year doesn't mean he isn't better than most relievers still imo.
 
Yeah Berrios is pretty solid first time through the order even if you disregard that he’s pitching with the intent of going deeper into games.

Overall:
K%: 19.6%
ERA: 4.06
HR/FB: 13%

First time through order:
K%: 24.4%
ERA: 3.12
HR/FB: 11%
 
just to see if any SP particularly suit the reliever role, maybe.


SPs, first time through order:


Gausman: 67.1ip, 25.7k%, 6.1b%, .259woba, 2.67era, 3.61fip, 3.54xfip
Lauer: 33.0ip, 25.9k%, 5.2b%, .326woba, 2.45era, 4.42fip, 3.67xfip
Berrios: 66.1ip, 24.4k%, 8.1b%, .302woba, 3.12era, 3.86fip, 3.98xfip
Bassitt: 65.0ip, 24.8k%, 6.3b%, .310woba, 3.60era, 4.30fip, 3.67xfip
Scherzer: 33.2ip, 23.7l%, 5.2b%, 290woba, 4.01era, 3.89fip, 4.61xfip
Bieber: 10.2ip, 22.2k%, 2.2b%, .372woba, 5.91era, 5.49fip, 3.28xfip


and that's a full time through the order - something relievers rarely come close to doing. I'm assuming the numbers look even better to just the first few hitters.


But the numbers actually seem pretty helpful - Lauer, Berrios, Bassitt all seem to have given us reason to believe they'd be effective in the pen this year, while Scherzer and Bieber haven't.

Gausman is great of course but that's irrelevant obviously.


SP: Gausman Bieber Yesavage Scherzer

RP: Lauer Berrios Bassitt
 
yankees busted it open 7-2....

....but are in the process of choking away another lead, now 7-5 with 2 runners on.
 
So annoying. You get the starter to gut through 6 hard innings and leave tied, only for the reliever to come in and promptly give up the go ahead run. Bats have nothing going so far tonight.
 
little niggling things bug me in a one run loss.

pinch hitting for schneider. favoring Rodriguez over nance. little things that probably don't matter much but might.

Tigers lose. Red Sox off to extras. Yankees up 3 top-8th. SEA and HOU keep rolling.
 
Reliever Leverage when Entering the Game (i.e. how the manager deploys them by leverage):



Full Season:

1. Hoffman 1.78
2. Little 1.39
3. Dominguez 1.38
4. Varland 1.24
5. Rodriguez 1.04
6. Fisher 0.93
7. Nance 0.84
8. Lauer 0.75


Since deadline:

1. Hoffman 1.99
2. Little 1.71
3. Dominguez 1.56
4. Lauer 1.34
5. Varland 1.01
6. Nance 0.82
7. Rodriguez 0.81
8. Fisher 0.68
 
I guess maybe we can look to see if his deployment has changed in September, after that bullpen disaster in august:

September:

1. Hoffman 1.72
2. Little 1.57
3. Dominguez 1.43
4. Lauer 1.34
5. Fisher 1.23
6. Varland 1.10
7. Nance 1.02
8. Rodriguez 0.83


a little more evenly spread lately.

but Rodriguez may be tracking towards being dropped from the playoffs roster.
 
amazing how defeated we look in tampa, every time. just useless.

i'm shocked we stole two games this series already, tbh.
