Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad (@chadyoung) wanted to look at potential buy lows, but it isn't enough these days to identify pitchers with a poor ERA but great peripherals, or hitters with bad results and a great xwOBA. So we go a level deeper and find pitchers whose ERA and FIP and hitters whose wOBA and xwOBA are ugly. And then we figure out who we might want to keep around.Join Pitcher List Plus and get an ad-free website and access to the Pitcher List Discord community, while supporting the podcast.Timestamps2:29 - Hitters who are struggling by wOBA and xwOBA5:55 - Nolan Arenado is already bouncing back14:33 - Manny Machado is in a dip, but that’s all19:38 - Myles Straw is still running, but is that enough?21:37 - There are some young players having issues and Ezequiel Tovar stands out27:52 - George Springer just missed the cut but needs some attention too34:55 - Maybe we need to reset expectations on Andres Giménez 38:08 - Switching to pitchers who are struggling by ERA and FIP39:30 - Three rookies not living up to the hype - Ken Waldichuk, Ryne Nelson, Hayden Wesneski49:00 - And three vets, as well - Lance Lynn, Michael Kopech, Taijuan Walker1:04:48 - Final thoughts on players including Royce Lewis, Jazz Chisholm, and Brayan Bello Learn more about your ad choices.
