Org, you've owned Keuchel in multiple leagues for years now. Any idea why he scrapped the slider? It was his best pitch when he was good.

I think it started getting crushed - the rest of his stuff is too though - so he started going heavy on the cutter which worked for him last year and the change usage skyrocketed. I think the reason is at this point his best bet is going full junkballer and deception with sinker/changeup since the command is nowhere it used to be and the rest of the stuff has declined significantly.

He doesn't even look like the same pitcher anymore even though the velo hasn't changed. The slider was an actual swing an miss pitch for him, and at one point he could locate the sinker down with his eyes closed. Now he doesn't have any pitch to generate swinging strikes, and he can't command the fastball for s***. Kind of a weird decline - usually the velo goes and everything falls apart.

He seems like the quintessential True Card.

 

My troupe of low-velo shitballers were supposed to limit walks and have ERA/OBPA cleaned up by DeGrom and Bauer. Things have not gone according to plan.

No shade, but your team doesn’t look very scary without Degrom, Acuna, and Franco. I might even take my dogshit collection of pitchers over yours! Feelin like the 2019 Raptors right about now.

I said before the matchup that I thought it was a tossup. I think our current offenses are mostly a wash (though you're having the better week), and we're both rolling with like 1 ace, a couple decent mid-rotation guys and a bunch of gas cans.

Desperation is starting 2021 Jake Arrieta on a critical playoff Sunday.

 

I’ve accepted my fate, but only losers go out with adds remaining for the week.

Congrats on the W Dinger. Bouncing the top two seeds is impressive, regardless of the circumstances. Good luck in the final, and go f*** yourself.

Cheers, appreciate it, you cuck. <3 First finals appearance in 5 years, feels good.

It might be exactly 5 years, not sure when I exactly changed the name.

 

The old Google Sheet has you as Los Osos Blancos till 2018, so prob not a full five years

Congrats Org! Well-deserved title. Hell of a run to you too Dinger. Vladdy looks like a ticket to the playoffs for the foreseeable future.

Alright, the chances of multiple Stanton/Devers/Sanchez HR and a German HLD now seem remote enough that I'm willing to concede. Congrats Org, you put together a hell of a team.
