I traded every White Sox player

[@ChefDynamic]

not even 24 hours later robbie grossman has been traded to the rangers for a pitching prospect

[@ChefDynamic]

gonna be sad to see pham go. the white sox have needed a club house booster for years, and we finally get one that's both productive and has a fantastic work ethic. it's easy to see how fast they turned around when he started playing with the team too, going from the worst team in baseball, on pace to be the worst in history, to a .500 W/L since he started playing with a 10 game sample size

[@JZekis]

Pham, Kopech, Fedde and Eloy are the only guys I genuinely expect to get traded and I don't expect the White Sox to get much for any of them. Nobody wanted Clevenger at last year's deadline and I don't expect anybody to nibble this year either

[@woundedcrow4606]

Cubs are going to take a run at Corchet.

[@JZekis]

@@woundedcrow4606 I don't know. They don't really need starters and picking him up for a stretch run to be in the pen would be spending a lot of prospect capital for a guy who might be on an innings limit coming off Tommy John. I don't think Crochet is going anywhere.

[@woundedcrow4606]

@@JZekis he’s not a starter. Well, he is, but not a good one. If the Cubs get him, it’ll be because they need him as a closer. I think he’d rather be a closer on a good team than be a starter on the worst one.

[@JZekis]

@@woundedcrow4606 Converting him back into a reliever for a stretch run on a contender probably wouldn't make sense because he's going to have already pitched more this year than he'll have in any year in his career and he probably won't be able to go in back to back games. He's going to cost a ton of trade capital for a gig he might not be able to do. If they are going to spend that much trade capital they might as well get an established closer.

[@woundedcrow4606]

@@JZekis I can’t argue with your logic at all, but the Cubs bullpen is a nightmare and by not doing anything to improve their team now, it alienates the monumentally dominant effort of the starters. Cubs starters had about a week between the last time they gave up even ONE earned run. Then a reliever cam in and gave up earned runs so quickly that they couldn’t get another reliever ready in time. It occurred to me earlier that Crochet could be the next Andrew Miller for the Cubs. Come in for 2 and 3 inning saves, dominate, then take the next day or two off. Also, Garret Crochet has multi arbitration eligibility years ahead. He isn’t going to be cheaper at the trade deadline. Jed Hoyer needs to make a move and he will pay a lot for a closer. Any team will ask for a top prospect/s for a closer, either now or later. He’s going to get fleeced either way. Might as well do it for a guy who can legitimately close games and isn’t a straight up rental

i need more media from jomboy of jimmy just talking about whatever because his voice is so calming to me it soothes my brain

[@bigwhiffsbatflips]

Idea for a future Thing: You've talked before about how pitchers who dump their adrenaline after getting out of a jam and screaming as they leave the mound shouldn't return the next inning. This just happened to Shota tonight against the Padres. Would be interesting to see other examples and if there's anything interesting or correlative in the stats/data surrounding those events.

[@ImDrMoran]

This is a fun one

[@nosliwec]

As a Rangers fan, I do not want Jimenez. We are using our DH spot for guys we are "resting". We might need pitching help. We are waiting for pitchers to get off IL as more pitchers are going on to IL. Mahle, Scherzer, Burke and de Grom are progressing in their rehab, but then Bradford and Eovaldi got placed on the 15-day IL.

[@SportsANDshish]

Joc and Tommy Pham on same team would be hilarious (If you don’t know Tommy Pham slapped joc bc joc was talking trash in fantasy football league)

[@B00NEYdaB0WYER]

They can have a slap fight to see who gets to start on days against rhp lololol as a giants fan I think Pham is a dick who’s probably the most annoying guy in the clubhouse lol

[@benjo00o]

Not even talking trash he stashed a player on his ir slot so he could keep another guy 😂

[@CadChamberlain]

Ichiro had a .581 batting average on bunts in his career. I know it could never be a common tactic, given how hard it would be to succeed once infields start coming in for it, but its cool to see a 1. OPS on bunts.

[@VegeMaticPragtarian]

Can you dive deeper into the bunt hits? Who is getting them, and how does it affect their exit velocity stats? Do they make a noticeable difference in their expected stats? How should bunt attempts for hits be calculated in expected stats since their whole purpose is finesse and control over barrels and high exit velo? Just things I’ve been thinking about.

[@Adaman135]

How is it a bad idea when they’re good for a .400 average?

[@RileyAicher1]

Yep, Jaime Garcia was the pre trade trade. They did it again with IKF from rangers to Yankees with Donaldson

[@cadechiles1143]

Would love to see the breakdown of MLB hitters who happen to go up against multiple guys in the MLB debut. Is there anybody that just feasted on first time MLB pitchers?

[@brennonjacobson6262]

My question on bunts. If teams are saying an out and moving the runner up lowers their win probability. What happens if that batter gets out and the runner doesn’t move isn’t that worse. Unless the hitter is an all time great odds of getting out are greater that 50%. So I still think it makes sense to move the runner up even if sacrificing an out. Also takes away the double play ball. They should be comparing a sac bunt runner + 1 base with +1 out to runner same base +1 out which is really the most likely outcome especially with high leverage arms.

[@kyleOWillFixIt]

I think a big part of why its ideal for teams to hold on til just before the deadline to trade guys away is because the returns are better. Teams know that they are on the brink and desperately need to fill a hole to make the playoffs. Or even really good teams that know they are going to make the playoffs may lose a key guy and need to fill a hole to keep their World Series hopes alive. For example the Dodgers and Braves are not giving you a dime for a DH right now but say Othani or Ozuna tear a hamstring or something and are out for the season. Suddenly you may be able to get a top pitching prospect for a good rental DH because those teams are trying to win it all and they will know that's going to be tough with a hole in your lineup where one of your best hitters should be.

[@TheXcizer]

Perfect timing for my half hour break

[@conradmills6651]

yoshida, casas, whitlock, bello, refsnyder, campbell, and trevor story are currently on the IL. And don smith and garrett cooper can’t hit for their life. so i’d expect a red sox trade for a 1st baseman/DH as well as a starter/reliever before the summer ends.

[@TechTeardownYT]

I'd give up a lot to see LUBob in Cleveland.

[@asdfaeou]

The fury pave at which Jimmy attacked trading all the White Sox impressed me.

[@bobbydobra5234]

Win expectancy is higher with a runner on first base no outs than a runner on 2nd with no outs in the top of the 9th?? Hows that make sense?

[@elijahsavett6298]

For next week’s segment can you talk about the Reds and Nats insane amount of stolen bases and the pace they’re on? (I’m a Nats fan)

[@jamesnevsimal2359]

I could see an package of Eric Fede/Mike Kopech with another year on their contracts. Maybe Cubs, Padres, or Red Sox. I would think an package of those two could get a fringe 100 prospect back.

[@danielglenmoore]

Just worked harder than anyone in the organization

[@brandondillman5841]

Robert is the only player on that roster worth anything. Maybe Chrochet, but he's been awful. He'd have to go back to the bullpen to have any value.

[@ShrexyGuy]

Since it hasn't been an injury thing with Crochet and he's only 24; I wouldn't mind seeing the Yankees take that flyer on him. He's a cutter, four seam, slider, with a hint of a change guy. He'd fit right in with Blake's philosophy. And Rodon turned a corner with those pitches already

[@JB-pk8gd]

Crochet is worth something for sure. 25 year old with 3 years control left. Went 3 straight quality starts, 3 straight bad ones, and now back to back Quality starts. Maybe getting used to being starter again? Hasn’t started a real game in 5 years until this year. I’d bet he stays until at least the offseason to get more worth

[@UBERHAYTER]

you don’t know ball

[@jadonschwartz8598]

Brewers could really use some starting pitchers. I want then to either work out a trade, or sign Trevor Bauer

[@Clip-Skylark]

Can you do the history of throwing it around sometime? I feel like it’s such a small part of the game but also a staple in baseball. No sure but don’t think there’s anything like it in any other sport. Pretty boring topic now that I think about it and having to talk about it for an extended period. I just love that aspect of the game

[@Robertstevens11567]

So when I was saying lefties with the shift on should bunt if the third baseman is playing at SS I feel is justified for every player who doesn’t have over a 1.040 OPS! That’s what these guys are bunting to this year and last and that is with the third baseman. Also if the guy is fast you may have been even higher with a few of those going for doubles…

[@Adaman135]

DeJong seems like an obvious candidate. He’s hitting some this year

[@TheWrestleVlog]

Well Grossman DID get traded…

[@DugoutBanana]

Looking at chart 21:19 i dont understand how WE goes down if you have 0 outs and runners on as opposed to 0 outs and no one one. Am i missing something?

[@jimmyk4445]

Thank you! The chart makes no sense! You have a .500 WE with nobody on and no outs. A .160 WE with bases loaded and no outs and a .557 with nobody on and 1 out. We are either reading this wrong or it's the most obvious garbage I've ever seen.

[@spschol]

No idea if this is it but those numbers would make sense if it’s talking about win expectancy from the perspective of the home team (which would be pitching since it’s the top of the inning). If they let a runner on base their win expectancy would go down

[@jimmyk4445]

@@spschol nice catch! Il that has to be it. Now I'll have to put the video back up and see if I can get a pause on the bottom of the inning.

[@jimmyk4445]

@@spschol if that is the case though it kind of dismisses Jimmy's point that the sac out lowers WE for the team doing it.

[@Kratzke8000]

Twins would absolutely take Elon Jimenez. He would be a huge upgrade over Margot in terms of bad but a serious liability if he has to play Defense. So he would be primarily DH when Jeffers is catching.

[@ninjasuperman9538]

21:26 how do you explain it being a 50/50 chance to win when tied no runners in the 9th then putting a guy on 2nd still no outs and your win expectancy not only goes down but falls by almost 25%

[@mnguyen313]

Confusing, but 1.000 = home win, and 0.000 = away win. Top of the inning, a runner doubled, so the away team is gaining an advantage of 18%. So go Jimmy’s point, away team win expectancy does not go down when sac bunting a runner over to 3rd, it goes up by that small margin of 0.007

[@ninjasuperman9538]

@@mnguyen313 I appreciate the response it does make more sense now. Still don’t get some of the logic with the system as a whole but that’s a different thing all together

[@mnguyen313]

@@ninjasuperman9538 The keyword here is “expected”. There’s such a large amount of baseball games played through history that there’s a high enough sample to say “in this situation, 33% of teams in this scenario won the game”. Comes from statistics and the concept of an “expected value”.

[@natedog7135]

Could the rise in 2000/2001 have anything to do with Ichiro debuting in '01? I know that has nothing to do with the other year but maybe there was a hitter that specialized in bunt hits that season?

[@bretthaffner6563]

White Sox fan here. I think that pool of guys seems pretty realistic to consider. Eloy, Flexen, and Kopech seem the most likely to be shipped off. Fedde seems likely too, and the Rays make sense, but Bannister (Sox pitching coach) seems to have found something good in fixing Fedde's stuff. Maybe that could be a consideration to keep him on the Southside. Will anyone want to trade for Clevinger? The Sox put him on waivers last August, nobody claimed him, then nobody signed him in Free Agency. Hmm. If teams are in need of veterans, Pham, Grossman, or even DeJong could be desperation options to trade off, too. Overall nice work
