The hair is out of control, I love it.
Guardians have been aggressive when they are in contention. 2016 they traded their top prospect for Andrew Miller, 2017 they traded for Jay Bruce and even in 2018, they were aggressive at the deadline. Jake is such a Guardians hater it’s comical
Strength of schedule after eliminating each team’s worst 3 week stretch
Go cards much love Jake
Not in on the Giants eh? Sounds about right.
Speaking of the rays I grew up playing against Taylor walls and he is a rays guy hundred percent
The strength of schedule that Jake references on FanGraphs is kind of exactly what he says he wants at the start. It's not the actual win percentages of the team's upcoming opponents. It's based on FanGraphs projections. You can toggle it to actual win percentages if you want. Ex: The Orioles remaining opponents have an actual win% of .492 but the FanGraphs projection is .502, maybe a result of 11 games left against BOS and HOU, who might be better than their win% so far.
I don’t listen to your show everyday Jake but I love what you do here. I do listen pretty often, mixed bag which makes it good. Go Bears!
Personally I'd take the guardos over the red Sox but it's a coin flip. Even though we r struggling we will be good
Love Mike Cameron! He was a great Mariner!
Fabolous mentioned
Let's Go Guardians!!!!!🗿🔥⚾️💯
who is the boy in the whitehead phones that never talks?
If Swisher is not one of your favorite Yankees you are not in fact a Yankees fan.
Guardians are currently the best team in the AL but you don’t think they’re top 5? Cmon.
Also they’re 25-15 against teams over .500, not super worried about strength of schedule. They’ve been bad against bad teams and good against good teams.
Love this guy Jake just out here yukin ball never retire
Jake "Eazy-E" vibes with the Jheri curls and black baseball cap
Boston is 1-3 against the Braves this year. Nice try though.
We need a strength of schedule as they currently show it, also a strength of schedule excluding April record and a strength of schedule for June and July only. A team might still have Houston coming up but might also have a team that faded away.
The Dbacks are 26-16 since June 1st! Only 2 series losses
Bro can we get Bailey here for every Friday. The dynamic is the best on those episodes. Shoutout BBD too
I could listen to Jake describe his interactions with various people for days on end. He's such a great storyteller.
