Hello, and welcome to Jimmy's Three Things. Thank you very much for joining today. My name is Jimmy. There's three things in Major League Baseball. I want to talk about the Chicago White Sox historic losing streak. Got to dive into that. What's going on? What's going on? Are we going for history? I hope so. Thing number two? Is your team better or worse on a specific day of the week. Is there a team out there that hasn't won a single game on a specific day of the week. Yes. Thing number three the best man Fredman pitcher in all of baseball who isn't good in other innings. So this is Jimmy's Three Things. It's a production of Dan Patrick Productions, John Boy Media and Workhouse Media. If you've watched before and you enjoy like comment, subscribe to the channel that helps a whole bunch leave comments saying what you want to hear next time. If you have got any weird stat area you want me to dive into. For now, I'm gonna take a stip of my coffee and then we're gonna begin, all right. The Chicago White Sox have lost twenty one games in a row. Twenty one games in a row have been lost by the Chicago White Sox that tied the AL record. I don't want to speak out a turn White Sox tie AL record losing streak. I believe they tied the Baltimore Orioles from nineteen eighty two nineteen eighty eight. So this is the longest losing streak in my lifetime. They trail only the Philadelphia Phillies, who set the modern day National League record after losing twenty three straight nineteen sixty one. Manager White Sox manager Pedro Griffall says, we talk about it every day. Shit, man, I don't know. I feel like, hey, forget that, forget that and the mounting pressure, forget the streak in the fuck the streak. Let's just go play for today. I think that's how I'd approach it. They're in their counting days. It's twenty one in a row. It sucks. It's not fun, it's painful. Everybody knows what it is. This is a Pagrogerfall quote that's got short sentences like a poem. It's twenty one in a row. It sucks, it's not fun, it's painful, it hurts. You name it however you want to describe it. Damn all right. I wanted to dive into it, so I took the dates of it first. The losing streak began on July tenth, day two of a double header, so that kind of screws the numbers I'm about to look at because I can't say, like maybe I could do by games and not date. But day one of the double header they want it. They beat the Twins three to one. Was that the immaculate inning save? It was the last time they won. Was Michael Kopek pitching immaculate inning to get the save. And since then, it's just been losing over and over and over again. They lost by one run in the nightcap of the doubleheader. Then they lost by three runs, then four runs, then five runs, then six runs, then five, then three. Then they lost in extra innings by one another one run loss. So they've been somewhat close losses. That's good. Then an eight run lost loss one run, ten runs, three three, three, one, seven. Some close games in there, some close games. They just can't figure it out. I went to fangrafts and I punched in the date July tenth to now White Sox player stats. Let's see what the starting pitchers have done. Chris Flexen has star did five games. In those five games, he has a seven eight three e r A with a six point fifteen x FIP. It's not good. Let me go standard stats. See what we're looking at here? So uh, two quality starts out of the five. How bout it? Twenty earned runs, three home runs. Chad Cool he oh, Chad Cools pitch a lot of innings but not started. Garrett Crochet has started four games, thirteen innings pitched, with six earned runs, So I should stop toggling around. Crochet has got a four to one five ERA. That's not bad. Look at our dude, Eric Fetti, he's throwing pitched three games in this streak, two nine to three e RA. Look up his stats. They traded him though, and he threw ooh not great for the for the Cards, so he was good, but they lost his games. They lost his last two games, so they're counting the one game on the doubleheader when he won. So he's pitched two games. How did they lose this one? This game? Eric Freddy six point one two earned runs. That's a winning effort. I mean, you gotta have an offense, obviously, so that's the one that went into extras and they lost, went into extra innings and Brebia blew the save all right, and Feedie got out of there. They're like, dude, you don't deserve this. Let's get out of here. Chad Coole had a ton of Chad Coole has the no Jonathan Cannon has the most innings pitched three games, starts pitching four games, most innings pitched three nine to six ARRA. That's not terrible. Chad Cool is a two seven niney RA no start, so he's coming in to help it out. Let me go standard. Who's given up the most runs or earned runs? Flexen's given up twenty, but he started. Brebbia's given up eleven runs in this stretch. He's pitched in seven games of this stretch and given up eleven runs. Seems to be a problem. Wait, same with Stephen Wilson. Oh so the bullpen's just awful. Wow, all pitching, no relief pitching, and damn so if the relief pitching sorted by innings pitched, Chad Cool been cool about it. Shout out boy genius, Sammy Peralta, all right, Wilson, Brebia, Jordan Lasier who's what a terrible tu innings for him? So Brebya's game log's gotta be god awful. And Wilson they both pitched in the extra innings loss. That's tough. I'm looking at now. I'm pulling up John Brebia's game log. Yeah, pretty bad, pretty bad. Twenty one ERA in his last six games, he's got what he's got one clean sheet in his last six appearances. That's not good. Uh. Stephen Wilson, I'm guessing is gonna be same. That's not good either. Ooh, Stephen Wilson's last three damn not good? Is he coming in with wins? Came in up three eighth inning, up three in this one, gave up three earned runs and then he's coming in down to down three and then he passes the baton and their six. Not good, not good. Let's look at the offense. Tell me there's some dude hitting well in this stretch. Come on, tell me there's one dude hitting well in this stretch. Who's got a good ops. Martin Maldonado five played appearances. Can't sorry, sorry sorry, machete can't count. It can't count it. Andrew Benintendy seven sixty eight ops. That's above average. Average OPS right now is like seven oh five. I think it's really not good average ops. Let's find it. Let's find it. MLB Batting twenty twenty four Batting Standard Batting it is. Oh, it's bumped up to seven twelve. Okay, well that's still Benintendi's above that, and so is Tommy fam who got out of there. So Ben and Tendee decent stretched. I mean, it's it's not amazing because most of the OPS is coming from slug which I don't like. I don't like when I think you're on base has to be carrying some weight. Three zero six on base on its own, I don't believe is good. It's below average. So his slugging's above average. But shout out to Ben and Tendi. I mean, do you think he regrets signing that deal with all his heart or do you think he's just like whatever, he has to regret signing that deal has to so in this stretch, Oh he didn't even dude. Ben and Tendy had didn't play the doubleheader game they won. So the last the last twenty three games that Ben and Tendy played in have been losses. Damn Ben, and Tenny's played in twenty three straight losses. They had two wins in between there he didn't play them a couple of multi hit games. So Benny's all right. Who's got the most played appearances with the least production Luis Robert Lennon Sosa? Not good? Oh my goodness, gracious, look at that slash line for Sosa forty played appearances one O eight average, one seventy five on base one O eight slug two eighty three. Oh ps, what how much run is forty divided by like four ten games? Is he starting or is he just coming off the bench, because that's hard to do. Let's see. No, he's starting. Wow, that's gotta be a tough game. Log one for four, oh for four, one for four, oh for two with a walk and a hit by pitch. Nice. Then you gotta pinch hit strikeout. Damn man, that that's tough. That's bad if you do value stats. No bat at ball as anyone having a babbit. Not really, So Benny's doing all right. And then they traded Fetti and then Chad Cooles doing his job. Who's pitching for him tonight? Jonathan Cannon versus chicken strips ross stripling Jonathan Cannon last seven games. Well, his last game was seven innings pitch one earned run. That's good. They lost it, though, game before that, six innings pitch to earn runs. Wait, this guy's been good, obviously, they're just losing the game games. Jonathan Cannon made his debut in this season and has a four to eleven ERA on the year. What's this gonna come down to? His last six starts three sixty eighty ra. How are they losing these games? Seven innings, pitch one and run? How they lose that game? What the fuck? That's such a winning effort? Who outpitched them? Michael Waka? No, the bullpenchers came in and blew it. Dude, Damn they've been in games that stinks. All right, timers up on that topic. We're gonna move on to the next topic, which is based team records by split. Is your team good on certain days and bad on other days? Well, I made myself a Google sheet algorithm here because some websites have MLB had it but not all in one spot. And then I made a little code so if you're looking at my screen, if you're watching on YouTube, yeah, I was in the Google sheets today. Basically, what we're looking at here is if the team is bolded in red, that means it's a bottom ten team in baseball right now. If it's bolded in green, that means it's a top ten team in baseball right now. And then I have each team's record per day of the week, and then I have the winning percentage per day of the week and the difference from their actual winning percentage. So some things that stand out, right, some of the cooler things that stand out. The Dodgers are really good on Mondays. So if I clear this and just go, okay, what's the best team on a Monday. If you guys want me to do that first, I'll do that. The Reds are ten and four on Mondays. The Dodgers are ten and one on Mondays. They have a nine own winning percentage. They start their week maybe because they got some older guys, they got some vets, they're getting good night's sleep. They take that Sunday day game and they go get a nice night's sleep. You know, they're not out partying, taking advantage of the night life. They're just hanging with their families. Remember all of the Dodgers were on paternity to leave a couple two seasons ago. Remembers like all twelve of them had kids. So they're taking their Sunday nights. That's family time. They're regrouping, regenerating. This is fan fiction what I'm doing. No stats involved, just fan fiction based on this number nine O nine winning percentage on Mondays after the Dodgers go spend times with their loved ones. Good for them, congrats. That's better than their season win percentage of five eighty four. It's a three hundred and twenty five percent difference in winning percentage. The Reds are also good on Mondays. They're ten to four. The worst team on Mondays, Oh no, it's the Chicago White Sox. They've yet to win a game on a Monday. They take that Sunday Day game, they go great, lots of time to forget about this fucking season. I'm gonna go have fun. Wake up Monday a little tired again. This is fan fiction that I'm making up. It's I don't know if this is real or not. I'm just projecting cool storylines. What is real is they're awful. They have not won a game on a Monday yet. How is that possible? Has any team gone a full season just never winning on a day of the week, And like, let's double check the work here MLB calendar, White Sox should be easy to see this the way they lay it out schedule, because they have like the calendar schedule. Okay, so yeah, they lost to the A's yesterday, so they had a chance. In July Monday lost to the Twins. Homer and Derby lost to the Rangers, lost to the Royals, yes, okay. In June lost to the Dodgers obviously, obviously the Dodgers are also On Mondays, lost to the Mariners and in May lost to the Rays, postponed Nationals game got postponed, lost to the Blue Jays, lost to the Blue Jays, and in April lost to the Braves, lost of the Guardians, lost to the Royals, lost of the Twins, lost of the Twins. So it's real, guys, hate to break it to you, it's real. They have not won. Who do they got coming up? Who they got coming up? Yes, Yankees. I'm a Yankees fan if you didn't know, So that's exciting for me. Great, that's great news. Don't blow it, Yanks. This team stinks On Mondays Capitalize, then the Giants, then the Tigers, then the Orioles, Guardians, Angels. So all right, so stink on Mondays have not won a game. Someone needs to find it better than me. I don't know how to do it. Across all seasons of all years. Has a team ever not won on a single day for the whole season, Because if that's never happened, and the White Sox break that, that's cool. Just Mondays bad day. That's a bad day, all right, other things that are cool. Let's just go by I'll go by day for those very curious. We'll go to Tuesday next and I'll just do like the best and worst real quick for you guys. The best team you got the Cleveland Guardians and the Arizona Diamondbacks, both thirteen and four on Tuesdays. The Dodgers have also won thirteen games on Tuesday, but they've had five losses, so there's that. And then the worst team of the Rockies, the Nationals and the White Sox. The Rockies are three and fourteen on Tuesdays. You're always going to have a game on a Tuesday. If you guys don't know how MLB schedule works. Every team plays every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Yeah, very You might have a Wednesday off day if you have a Monday Tuesday two game set, Wednesday off day and then a four game Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. But that's kind of getting more and more rare. But a Tuesday off day is very rare. Wednesday's is a getaway day often highest winning percentage on Wednesday. We got three teams that are twelve and five, the Orioles, the Yankees, and the Brewers. All right, middle of the week, let's get going, let's win this thing. That's great. Good news for them. The Royals are twelve and six, so just a tough hit on the winning percentage. The Tigers are the worst team on Tuesdays or Wednesday. Sorry, they're four and eleven. Not good. Interestingly enough, the Dodgers are not good on Wednesdays. Maybe they are so good on Monday and Tuesday that they're winning those series. They're up to nothing, right, They've already won the series. It's a day game. They're excited to go see their families again. Off their mind. See how they are on Sundays. If they're not great on Sundays, the theory holds true. Moving on to Thursday, which is, like Monday, not going to be a lot of games for some teams. The highest winning percentage on Thursday. Tampa Bay Rays they're eight and one and they're not in the top ten. And the Mets are eight and two, they're also not in the top ten. Tampa Bay Rays have a three to seventy five better three seventy five difference in win percentage on Thursdays then over the course of the season, so that might be the biggest jump in winning percentage difference. And then at the bottom, oh look, my Yankees are a little bit of an outlier. They're one of the only top ten teams that is in the bottom five on Thursdays. I don't like it. They're not into it. They're five and eight on Thursdays. That's tough. But the Angels are one and nine. Angels stink on Thursdays, all right. Moving on Friday weekend starts, it's a night game, always a night game on Fridays, New series exciting times. The energy in the stadium usually has more life than any other day. Do you respond to that? The Royals do. They're thirteen and five, so are the Houston Astros thirteen and five on Fridays. That's good stuff. The Brewers look at all these good teams. Maybe that's a storyline here. Good teams dominate Fridays, Fridays at home. That's what I'd like to see. But that's another thing I would have to put into the algorithm. Here, Friday's at home, who's the best team? Because that's when you got your home crowd. It's racus. They're there, they're showed up. Worst team, Blue Jays, White Sox, Rangers. The Red Sox are a bottom four team on Fridays, but they are a top ten team in the league. Rays also stink on Fridays. The Rays are if they win the game, they're gonna lose the next. If they win that, they're gonna lose the next. They're back and forth. Team. Blue Jays, White Sox, Rangers are the bottom three here, blue Jay's being five and fourteen on Fridays. All right, Saturday usually a day game off in a day game can be a night game, but a lot of day games. The Yankees crush Saturdays. Hell yeah, makes sense because so many times Saturday games it's just like I'm watching on my phone it's so easy. I don't need to pay attention. They're fourteen and six on Saturdays. The Phillies are thirteen and six. Dodgers are thirteen and six. The Nationals are also thirteen and six. So that's an that's an outlier. The other way, Nationals bottom ten team in the league, top four team on Saturday. Don't play them on Saturdays. All right, let's find let's find out who's got them on Saturdays. I'll do this. Nash knows who's got the Nationals this Saturday, This Saturday, this upcoming Saturday. The Nationals Angels? Are the Angels good on Saturdays? Or not? Let's see Angels Angels? Angels are not good on Saturday. Their bottom five team play cha bets, play cha bets. Step right up and play cha bets. Uh. Then the Phillies, the Braves, the Cubs. Okay, all right, let's keep going. Mets are terrible on Saturdays. Five and fourteen. Wow, Mets. Mets terrible in day games. The Mets are twenty two and twenty eight in day games, so they're not great. Best team in day games twins. Then the Orioles and the Brewers good stuff. Best team of night games, Dodgers, right, wake up, spend the breakfast time with their family. All those family met over there in La. Let's keep going. I gotta do Sunday becuz Sunday's got some good teams. Like the most wins by any team on any single day is Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Don't go there, don't face them. They're sixteen and three. That's an eight forty two winning percentage, which is three hundred and one points higher than their five to forty one. The Diamondbacks are really good on Sunday. The Yankees are good on Sunday and then Okay, So I think what we've learned is if you want to be a good team, you got to win Friday and Sunday because that gives you a series win. Every weekend that would also be a good one. Like weekends versus non weekends, that'd be good. I could do that single team, because I think the Yankees are great on weekends, all right, but I don't know if I think they're better on weekends then weekdays. Let me clear this. I'm gonna do just Yankees, just Friday, Saturday, Sunday. We're gonna go some whoa how could that possibly be? Oh whatever, twenty three. Can't trust me to do math, ever, even though it's simple arithmetic. The Yankees are thirty seven and twenty on weekends. That's pretty good, right, it's gotta be good. I think so six forty nine winning percentage. Yeah, that's good. All right, let's change it to weekdays. Sorry, I can't do this for every team twenty they're thirty. Okay, we got thirty plus nine plus nine is seventeen seven. Can't trust myself. Can't trust myself. The quality of the content matter is just too much for me. Okay, but this one I can Twelve plus eight is twenty and five plus five is ten. So that's thirty and twenty six and equals thirty divided by fifty six five thirty five winning percentage on weekdays. So the Yankees are better on weekends. I was right. I don't know. Maybe I can show you this Google sheet and you guys can play around with it and find out what your team is. But you can't play around with it how I'm playing around, because then I would need to give you editing power, and then you can change all the numbers, so they would have to be a view only, and then I don't think hoggle it all. Let's see the biggest winning percentage difference. It's the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursdays, three hundred and seventy five points higher than their season winning percentage. They're eight and one on Thursdays, Tampa Bay Rays. Try them, you won't. And then the Dodgers on Mondays and the Red Sox on Sundays. That's your top three teams on days. Okay, so be careful. Be careful when you're playing the Rays on Thursday, when you're playing the Dodgers on Monday, when you're playing the Red Sox on Sunday, just be careful. Now, don't get greedy, but be excited if you're playing the Angels on Thursday, the Marlins on Monday, or the Brewers on Monday. The Brewers are bad on Monday, Brews are bad on Monday. That's the biggest outlier because they're top ten team but bottom three. They have a bottom three overall day for top ten team. Wow. What's wild is the White Sox zero to fourteen, which is a zero winning percentage, doesn't get them the biggest winning percentage difference off their actual winning percentage because they're so bad all the time. All right, that's as much as I can do. I'll name this Google sheet MLB teams on days of week, and then i'll put eight six eight five really because the games haven't happened twenty four and maybe we can share it if we want. Then you could copy and paste it, put in your own sheet. Then you could toggle it, mess with it. All right? Cool? Good, thanks. Next topic is a very simple one. My good friend mister Jolly Olive put me onto this. He said, there's a there's a player out there who's the best in Manfred innings. And what he did was he went to Baseball Reference said in the regular season in twenty twenty four in extra innings, has to have pitched at least three innings of extra innings this season. And then there's one, two, three, four, five guys that have not allowed or six guys that have not allowed to run in extra innings. So you get the runner on second base and Wooden Couns earned run, not allowed to run, uh, not allowed to run? Right, these guys haven't allowed to hit. They've walked a couple guys, intentionally walked, a couple guys. But there's one guy with the most Manfred Man innings this season who has not allowed to run. And his name is Tyler Kinley. And what's interesting about Tyler Kinley is he's not good elsewhere. Like you guys know the name Sir Anthony Dominguez, Robert Suarez, Johan Duran, David Robertson, Shelby Miller, they're good other places. Tyler Kinley from Plantation, Florida, age thirty three, He's the best man Fredman pitcher in the whole world. Right, He's a journeyman. What not? Jurnyman was with the Minnesota Miami Colorado. He's got a six seven five ERA on the year. He's appeared in fifty games. His splits on the season. Let's see, let's go to leverage, high leverage. Look at this motherfucker zero eight five batting average in high leverage one seventy OBP medium leverage, board, low leverage, whatever, high leverage. Yes, please, I like the pressure. Please turn the pressure on in this. Look at this and the ninth inning. No, thank you. He's got a one dot zero six six ops eighth inning No. Nine to six, eight seven through nine nine thirty sixth inning eight forty one ops inning four through six, eight, forty one ohps seventh inning, it's all right, five forty two ops against that's good. But action earnings one one eight and yeah, it's only five games. But we're having fun. Okay, we're making storylines play along. Uh what other split would go into this game? Conditions? No, by catcher, by umpire, No, it would be like runners right, bases occupied. So this would be zero out, runner on second? Where were that? Huh? How do you? How would you organize this? I went the runner on second and so I went, oh, yeah, that's is okay. Here it is. I found it. Thirty one play appearances, run around second. Maybe I don't care about this. I don't know what I care about here. Base is empty bad, he's better with men on, he's best with runners in scoring position. Is there a way to baseball savant? Tyler Kinley's there? Oh? You know what it would be? Hang with me, Hang with me. Maybe gonna hit this out, maybe not. I'm gonna find out if his okay? Pictures Kinley all right? And then we're gonna go innings and I'm gonna toggle all the innings besides extra innings, and I'm gonna search that, and then I'm gonna open up another tab with the same search. But the innings are gonna be just extra innings. The pitcher is gonna be Tyler Kinley, and I'm gonna search that, and I want to see if his pitch mix change. So in all the other innings he's slider heavy, fifty two percent slider and then thirty six percent four seam fastball four percent change up. That doesn't really matter. Now in extra innings, is it going to be the same or is he change his pitch mix in extra innings? Well, he's never thrown a pitch besides the slider and the four seam in extra innings, and he bumps the slider up from fifty nine percent to sixty eight percent, which the fastball goes from thirty six to thirty one. So in extra innings, when the pressure's on Tyler Kinley's he's doing the Joe Asanya advice I got in blitz Ball, Hey, Jimmy, throw that good pitch, all right, best advice I ever got that I don't take a lot and I embarrass myself and stink it up. Heartbreaking losses, pain suffering, paedrogrif fall sad whatever you want to call it. Let's see on the season his slider all right, So on the season, his slider has a two thirteen batting average against a four to seventy five slug but a but a three eighty expected slug and then the batting average against on the four seam is three eighty five. So in the extra innings he throws his slider way more, his four seam way less, and that's helping him out. His four team has a bad wifth percentage. Dude, someone trade for this guy. His slider's got a forty percentage twenty five. Like, if the Yankees traded for this guy, they just take that four seam and say done, turn it into a sinker two seam. So now there's x access to the can't sit on the fastball and he'd be good next year. Should be slider sinker for Tyler Kinley. I'm not a coach. I just know what the Yankees do when they find guys. He's better an extras because he throws his his forcing fastball way less. His forcing fastball is getting getting. It's got a six thirty eight expected slugging and he's getting better results than that, whereas slider has a he's getting worse results than expecting on a slider. But yeah, makes a lot of sense. Guys, makes too much sense for me just throwing a slider way more in extios. So yeah makes sense. I mean he would did extras against the Phillies, like, it's all sliders. This that bat against the young let's watch it and then we'll end the show. He went three sliders, high, tight slider top of the zone for strike one. Looking it's it's like a tight slider. Oh wait, Then he went so there's three sliders. Then he went fastball ball, fastball ball, slider foul, and then eventually got him on the slider swinging. If I have this rightwing odd shape of that slider, it's like a bullet slider down but works. Okay, So he's the best man for the man pitcher ever. Probably that you know, forcing fastballs are being phased out by by some unless you really have it. Seems like if I was a pitching coach, I just I'd take that ball and he's here on the four seam and I'd just spin it, put him in between the lanes. Pitching coach, Jimmy, thanks for tuning in appreciate you guys. Subscribe to the channel If you enjoy this, Go Yanks psych for the lights are off. For those that aren't Yankees fans, psych
