  1. Paxton has 11 K's in 5 innings, on only 72 pitches.
  2. Nice play there by Tellez.
  3. The problem with the sinkerball is everyone is looking down in the zone. That's probably less the case in the minors, where pitchers have much less control. Typically, guys with great sinkers seem to throw them a lot, rather than changing speeds. I think that's why it has less effectiveness in the majors right now. That's also why you see teams all wanting their starters to start throwing 4-seam fastballs up. Batters with uppercuts can't do anything with them, and the last decade of the sinker being in vogue has produced a lot of batters like that.
  4. Well, the MLB average HR/9 rate this year is 1.44, so ... he's a sinkerballer who continues to suppress home runs?
  5. Very stupid. We might have the worst replay guy in the league.
  6. Unclear. you don't expect him to maintain a 36% K rate in combination with a high BABIP, which is making his season look better than it has been. The walks are encouraging though. Right now, he's basically our version of DJ Peters.
  7. Because you'd be facing him, or because you like him
  8. Damn, wish I hadn't missed this game. I remember Verlander's last no hitter against us. It was magical in the 8th and 9th innings when he was averaging triple digits.
  9. Derek Law isn't a closer. He's barely a viable bullpen option, although that could change if he gets the walks down.
  10. The top 5 pitchers in saves this year: Yates: 38 saves, 93.6 mph Chapman: 36 saves, 100.4 mph Hand: 33 saves, 93.0 mph Osuna: 31 saves, 96.9 mph Smith: 30 saves, 93.0 mph So 3 of the top 5 saves collectors this year average under 94 mph
  11. Heh, yeah. First I need Ang and his 1.000 OPS and 2.21 ERA to f*** off. Why couldn't he have done this last week?
  12. He's talking legal responsibility, you're talking personal responsibility. It was perfectly clear to me, at least, as to what you were referring to.
  13. Don't worry, I'm just giving Hurl some false hope before I ruthlessly pull it out from under him this weekend.
  14. No. Ejected for saying something he shouldn't have to a very bad ump.
  15. Yeah, Vladdy can't be saying that either though. That's way out of line, even if it's true.
  16. That was almost spectacular from Reddick. That would have been a catch of the year candidate.
  17. Wow. Yep, Springer got all of that one.
  18. Cousins with an arrest warrant put out for his arrest on domestic violence charges, apparently after threatening to kill the mother of his kid. If he's suspended, I wonder if that would only start to apply once he's medically cleared to play again? He and the Lakers are having a rough few months.
  19. Man, when I saw that swing by Yordan, I thought it was gone!
  20. That was a rocket! Bregman almost got enough air under it for the outfielder to catch it!
  21. Given that there's two groupings, it would make sense if one group was guys who will be rule 5 eligible, and one that's not.
  22. I would love an NFL franchise here. I do prefer the CFL game play, but the NFL talent more than makes up for the differences.
  23. There's a difference between legal liability and personal responsibility.
  24. Like Laika said, that's only assuming those seats would actually be bought. Rogers doesn't get money for the seats when they're empty, which, on average, they were even in 2016. This year, they could remove those seats while costing themselves essentially nothing, aside from maybe opening day. There's also the possibility that more comfort might cause a few more people to actually come to the game who otherwise wouldn't.
