    Values go up and down. In this case, they have gone way down! Oops, Ross!

    Stuff+ on his curveball also went from a 107 to a 93. Must be a shape change since the velo is the same. Splitter went from 102 to 91. Sadness. Dear god. 12 of 15 homers are to LHB. .415 wOBA by LHB. is that legal?

    Bowden Francis needs to figure it out or buzz off!!!!

    You have to be more nimble than this, Max. Adjust your perceptions when new information arrives. How much would Scherzer, Gimenez, and Santander attract on the open market today? A lot less than they are making!
  5. Laika
    okay but Santander Scherzer Gimenez have -0.5 WAR combined for like $49M AAV and Spencer Horwitz imagine if he didn't whiff on all three of those. could have just paid Gleyber Torres but nooooo defense fetish got in the way admittedly a lot of the other FA hitters are flopping and Alonso/Soto/Bregman never wanted to come here so hard to criticize the Santander whiff Toronto should sue Max Scherzer

    Ryan Yarbrough is beasting. Four good starts in a row for the Yankees. Probably should have kept him lol.

    Clay Holmes is performing well so far. Only 60 innings though. Hicks is probably a success story all things considered. It's NOT like he was even an elite reliever, remember. Just the remote possibility that you get something close to the Seth Lugo experience makes it worth trying for lots of guys who have the arsenal. There are some other guys who are essentially RP to SP conversions but you don't notice as much because of how they broke in or got their chance. I think Ronel Blanco and Zack Littell were essentially just relievers for several years before going back to starting. I guess teams are just better these days at figuring out which RP can probably do well as a starter because there are a lot of success stories.

    I'm all for it if he gets through this year clean Even the way Toronto has used him this year kind of hints at it. Those two inning games.
  9. Laika
    I think the lack of command on it is the biggest problem Most of them are non competitive or down the middle
  10. Laika
    I wonder if there was some sort of assurance like "if you make it through 2025 healthy we will give a chance to start in 2026" so he is refusing to shrink his arsenal
  11. Laika
    Came here to say this again Judging from Gameday, he threw three splitters today with nearly disastrous results. Almost hit a batter, then gave up a long flyball on a middle middle splitter, then almost hit the next batter
  12. Laika
    The game plan isn't to let the Jays hit 100 mph groundballs, chief
  13. Laika
    Lots of bad luck last two games. Tons of 100+ mph groundouts or double plays like that one.
  14. Laika
    You think? I seem to remember him being a piece of s*** for a year+ before he got hurt
  15. Laika
    Baltimore v Boston is a weird series. I guess Baltimore is so far down the table at this point that we just cheer for them?
  16. Laika
    if this is average bat speed, surely some component of it is that guys like Walker and Adell just have no idea what is coming so they just put their A swing on everything 80 mph swing at a fastball to foul it off 80 mph swing at a curveball to miss it by two feet I don't think there is much hope for Walker or Adell at this point. They square up almost nothing.
  17. Laika
    walkoff 2 run HR time let's go
  18. Laika
    The pitching strategy worked great today until Hoffman blew it. Yimi, Fluharty, and Green should all be able to throw tomorrow if necessary.
  19. Laika
    Hoffman's splitter is the problem. Ball Ball Ball Homer Then he puts it away and gets three outs. I said this a week or two ago. Time to just scrap it for the year. I don't know why they are obsessed with it.
  20. Laika
    ffs Jeff
  21. Laika
    maybe the plan was to bunt it at Machado again since he's horrible
  22. Laika
    why bunt with Heineman there too? lmao
  23. Laika
    worst to best who would have thought it could happen I mean everybody liked the Hoffman signing and it was hard to complain about Yimi but the Little and Fluharty emergences have been massive And we might be seeing another random emergence in Fisher who seems to have two plus breaking balls. Plus Y Rod throwing well. Sandlin coming back. Depth! and Whiffs! Depth and Whiffs!
  24. Laika
    It's not about options - Roden and Clase have already been optioned this year so both have used an "option year" no matter how many times they are up an down They just think Roden needs time to develop. And maybe think Clase is a better fit for now as a bench OF.
  25. Laika
    Funny how your perception of a player like Lukes can develop. I used to think of him as a decent defender without much stick. Now it is obvious that he is more like Roden or Wagner. Just an older, more refined version. Puts the bat on the ball, with a feel for the barrel, with middling power and mediocre at best defense. I wouldn't expect him to homer at this rate going forward but it seems like he should put up competitive at bats.
