Been a lot of chatter about how the upcoming MLS schedule change is going to affect play on the field.
@Statford_Bridge decided to look exactly how.

We’ve rebuilt our expected goals model! There’s been tons of changes to the game over the years, which the model needed to adapt to. You can read more about the new model here: moneypuck.com/about.htm
I keep seeing some really sloppy talking points with regards to firing Dan and the front office types. For the record, yes there is 1000% a valid case to fire them. But it stems from things that they can and did not control and not just "wearing it' because of a bad season.
For anyone refencing Bryce Millers ERA through the 3rd time through the order his FIP is only slightly higher than Gilberts and is worse than Woo's. Pitching the third time through order just sucks in general.
I just want to acknowledge that I recorded a podcast with @TheCaseyMcLain and he didn't disparage Naylor once today and I feel like that's progress

Any talk of Cal's "drop off" without discussing his oblique injury is absolutely disingenuous and uninformed. They're just talking about him as if he's at the same place physically and simply, he's not.
I'm not a big "kick someone while they're down" guy. I'm glad he's taking some accountability but realistically if he wants to help this club he'd go on the DL or go to the DH more. He's still catching 80%+ of games with an oblique injury and that just can' t be helping.
Cal Raleigh after Tuesday's loss, via @RyanDivish:
"We're not playing well. That starts with me. I'm awful. I've got to find a way to be better and to help bring the guys along. We just gotta play better. We're just playing very, very, very bad baseball in every facet of the game."
I love Josh Naylor, I was and still am happy the Mariners re-signed him. But he needs to be protected from himself. The batted ball data and the swing data show *something* is amiss and the telecast crew has shown how much he winces when he swings, re: wrists.
Naylor getting the start today is disappointing. Bro-hymn *needs* a DL stint that he very obviously does not want.
Look, a lot of people I think dislike him (I know I get texts from friends) but he's getting BABIP'd to death and poor ground ball fielding. He's very Bazardo-esque with a plus fastball that induces soft contact and a slider that he gets toooons of swings and misses.
I'm not saying he's a eighth inning or nineth inning guy but he's pitched better than his ERA and its crazy how much bad luck he's had. I think he's a guy that will see a swing in his performance the more opportunities he gets.
