Yimi for MVP
-
Seriously. Dude was just standing there watching Vlad try to make a running over the should catch like 8 feet away
-
Springer easily gets to that if Vlad pulls up
-
If Schneider gets tossed there Bo easily hits an oppo double off the right field wall
-
Gibby would still be out there trying to fight someone from the umpire crew
-
Vlad flexing a bit with a 2-run bomb here would be swell
-
Jesus, 104 series the Orioles haven't been swept
-
A bit of an odd spot to use Turner
-
This team sure looks better when Bo and Vlad are actually doing their jobs
-
I hope he holds up this year and next and the Braves end up picking up the 2026 option. It's fun when guys finish their career strong and make a HoF case.
-
Right, forgot Cole. Then I guess it's Wheeler and Nola? But they're way behind Sale in pretty much everything. Then it's the cohort of arms that all look like longshots to even hit 2000 innings.
-
Watching Chris Sale pitch, and it prompted me to look at his career stats. Why is nobody talking about him as a HoFer? In terms of career accomplishments of active pitchers, he's in his own tier after Verlander/Scherzer/Kershaw. If he can stay on the mound for Atlanta for his contract he's going to end up with at least 2100 IP, 2500 Ks, ~55 fWAR, 150 wins, and a career ERA in the low 3s. I'm not sure there's an active pitcher younger than him who's going to touch those numbers.

Jim just got absolutely shredded
-
Is Votto still alive? I feel like he's been a nonperson since stepping on a bat two months ago

If someone had asked me to guess what team fits this profile I would have said Cleveland -

Was Jano not available? -
I think it's overall a sound organizational philosophy to avoid expensive multi-year FA contracts to good but not great corner outfielders. There's always someone available who can hit and stand in LF. It would have cost the team nothing to bring in Tommy Pham at the deadline or this offseason. Tyler O'Neill was basically free. Mark Canha was basically free. Max Kepler could have probably been acquired for very little. Richie Palacios cost a 35-year old reliever etc... I'm guessing the Dodgers get a 3-4 win season from Teo and then aren't the team to give him a 3-4 year deal in the offseason.

Manoah looks like a damn fool

The issue is a systemic failure to identify young talent, develop it, and graduate it to the MLB roster. They've had almost 10 years now to develop a pipeline of talent and it hasn't happened. I have no idea what changes have to be made to address that. But they've been constantly forced to build their roster from MLB players acquired from outside the organization. And they've mostly done a pretty good job of it. But you can't continue to compete while getting zero impact talent internally.
-
This has been a very typical exchange on this forum. "lmao at Atkins fanboys thinking the Teo trade was good!" "actually the Teo trade was pretty good" "ATKINS SUCKS BRO!!" Like, yeah it doesn't look good for him. 100% of the forum understands that there has been a player development failure here and that it should/will probably cost him his job unless things turn around quick enough that the season can be salvaged. But there are things the current FO does really well, and trades have been one of them.
-
Kiermaier and Teo were equally valuable offensively last year.
-
Kiermaier was signed to replace Teo, and actually hit as well as Teo last year. Out WAR'd him 2.8 to 1.8. The trade actually netted Toronto: 1 WAR upgrade in the OF 1 WAR season from Swanson + 2024 and 2025 seasons from Swanson 2M in savings (Teo made 2M more than Swanson and Teo combined) Objectively a great trade
-
At least people have stopped complaining about losing Lourdes Gurriel
-
It's May 7th and the team currently has a -45 run differential. This is worst case scenario territory. A total clusterf***.
