Given your history of taking mediocre pitchers, putting them in a pitcher's park and then wondering why you lose 2-1 so frequently, 58 wins and less than 600 runs scored.

21 runs scored, 3-3 record.

Do I still have the touch?

17-10. I'm a little worried about dominating this league too early and causing a mass exodus. Should I ease up a bit?

I don't feel like you've intimidated the league quite enough just yet. Pour it on!!!!

Do you think BL is checking WIS hourly to see if you came back yet?

Every 15 minutes. I'm assuming he asked me something somewhere.

Did you start this company?

Does Gisele now understand why it's not a good idea for TB12 to throw to himself?

I wish.

Unlikely. She's just tooling around in her moat.

When you see a headline "Two women die while digging for clams on Wash. beaches", is it a huge letdown if the story is about anything other than KILLER CLAMS!!! ?

Not gonna lie. My first thought: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=clam
Figured whatever they were doing, it must have been painful.

A few threads down someone posted their DITR pitcher actually lost about 9 points on their P2.

I understand that may be desirable for a very low pitch in order to potentially drop it, but his guy went from a 93 to a 84 or something.

Any ideas as to why? and is this something you've seen happen before?

I've seen third and fourth pitches decline because they were the worst pitches. We don't really know the cut but there's a point where a bad pitch actually hurts as you suggest. I've never seen a 2nd pitch decrease, there are no one pitch pitchers, nor have a seen anything over 40(maybe 35) decrease. Something is off on that one.

I want to put a hit out on Bing Herges. Do you know anyone I can talk to?

Agent 47

Have you ever worked out how much of a bat a catcher with a bad PC would need to overcome his lack of pitch calling?

For instance, if a picture had an .800 OPS is a 50 PC ok?

I generally put failed C in RF if I think they can OPS .850 if I don't have a legit RF. I use 50ish PC all the time. Long ago, I found 10 pts in PC to be worth .12 runs in ERA. For the most part, it holds true. IOW, a 90 PC will be worth about half a run in ERA over a 50 PC. I'm not sure it's linear in that a 0 PC would cost a team just more than a run in ERA compared to a 100 PC but it works between 40-100.
