Orgfiller Old-Timey Member Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Is there another starter in baseball that thrives by getting tons of whiffs on a 92 mph fastball he throws 90% of the time? It's a weird skill set. J.A. Happ for sure, and yeah LHP whatever. I think his 12-6 slider/curve is pretty nasty though, he's not just gonna rely on his fastball.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Is Andrew Heaney legit? My favourite quote from the most recent Fangraphs article. The lefty throws a curveball that doesn’t curve. He throws a pitch labeled as a sinker that does’t sink. It has above-average spin (2,400 rpms) and the rise of a four-seamer. And his changeup is similar in moment profile to that of Stephen Strasburg and Alex Wood, with a significant amount of fading action coupled with positive vertical movement.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Our first s***** week... Hurl's pitching was great.
P2F Old-Timey Member Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 In my view, as good as my pitching has been, that's how as bad my hitting has been. Said Tim McCarver.
SpeedyGose Verified Member Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Looking to acquire SP - open to moving the following: Gyorko, Solarte, Chapman, Gardner, picks and all non Robles/Sixto prospects. Also, calling up Gleyber Torres
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 How freaking good is Gleyber Torres. He's been a consistently excellent hitter across all levels since the beginning of last year. He could be Manny Machado.
jays4life19 Old-Timey Member Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Looking for a SP upgrade. Willing to package any starter plus Dennis Santana for an upgrade.
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 nice to see i'll get another high pick. not doing BBDL?
P2F Old-Timey Member Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 nice to see i'll get another high pick. not doing BBDL? I did do BBDL.
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 I did do BBDL. Ah thanks mate. For some reason threads with new content are not always shown as bolded for me. Cost me a 2nd round MiLB.
P2F Old-Timey Member Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Ah thanks mate. For some reason threads with new content are not always shown as bolded for me. Cost me a 2nd round MiLB. No prob. That happens to me every once in a blue moon, though I couldn't possibly tell you why it happens. I'm pretty anal about closing the tabs in my browsers before I exit them, and it still happens from time to time. Must be a cookie quirk.
AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Ah thanks mate. For some reason threads with new content are not always shown as bolded for me. Cost me a 2nd round MiLB. Typical leftie. Unable to take on personal responsibility. It's not Jim's fault for taking an illegal player. It's the site's fault for not highlighting the post someone made to him, out of courtesy.

AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Need to dump a few guys. No reasonable offer refused. All three guys will be dealt by midnight. Nico Goodrum Gerardo Parra Danny Duffy Come and get 'em.

I always hated Fernando Tatis Sr. Mentally weak. Couldn't play baseball because he had anxiety. Maybe he should have said something before the Expos traded for him.

AdamGreenwood Old-Timey Member Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 I'm interested in Danny Duffy Shoot me that 5th round pick offer and he could be yours.
BTS Community Moderator Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Shoot me that 5th round pick offer and he could be yours. I'll give you a 4th.
jays4life19 Old-Timey Member Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Shoot me that 5th round pick offer and he could be yours. I was just kidding. Send him over to BTS so he can experience what I had to go through the last month and a bit
Pendleton Old-Timey Member Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 If anything it's an excuse to watch more of Tatis Jr, his swing is one of my favourites.
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 If anything it's an excuse to watch more of Tatis Jr, his swing is one of my favourites. He's a beaut!
