    Except for the pitching model which likes him 120 stuff+ with 104 location+ (good and good) 3.27 ERA (good) 4.40 FIP and xFIP (bad) 21.8% K rate (bad) SwStr% 10.9% (bad) He's a mystery, wrapped up in an enigma, smothered in questions.

    Kirk made an excellent play in the 10th on that s***** Clement throw
  3. Laika
    Burr has been really good bro

    RIGHT I FORGOT https://www.tankathon.com/mlb/pick_odds So a 10% chance to pick 1st overall if they are 5th worst.

    Hard to argue with +7 BsR Duran does have a reputation for having horrible baseball instincts, he was a god awful defender up until this season so I bet he does make (or used to make) a lot of stupid baserunning errors

    Hard to complain about the tank if they end up with 5th overall Realistically there was no chance of being worse than MIA, COL, LAA WSH could have played better and jumped Toronto but, oh well Having a worse record than PIT would be awesome. CHW and OAK being ineligible for a top 9 pick is fantastic Pittsburgh goes Brewers, Yankees in their final 6 games Toronto goes Red Sox, Marlins in their final 5 so we probably win 3 games... Texas goes Oakland, LAA in their final 6... Need Pitt to overperform or Toronto to just blow it against the Marlins

    Yeah Rossy boy needs another Austin Martin So he can trade him next year for Brady Singer and then extend him for 9 years.

    Go Tigers! Jackson Jobe!

    LMAO go find one non-sarcastic post that calls it a dunk realistically everyone here either hated it or thought (thinks) it was fair nothing has really changed either other than things that have nothing to do with the players (if the Jays could go back in time they would not do the trade, simply because they didn't win in 2023 or 2024 and now they would prefer Moreno and his remaining years of control)

    The Rates & Barrels guys said he got hit by a pitch and has been horrible since. They think he's playing through a broken bone or something. wRC+ by month: 134 122 145 44 75 77
  11. Laika
    he is almost in the Cy Young conversation

    The new SB rules f*** this all up 50 SB isn't quite as impressive as it was even 2 years ago
  13. Laika
    There is a "DH penalty"!!!! that actually makes it more impressive!!!! sort of
  14. Laika
    You can also, you know, buy ground beef and make your own burgers at home lmao it's not that hard
  15. Laika
    There is a wicked takeout burger place, mom and pop operation, where I live that still prices from $10.99 to $16.99 for their burgers. So for $16 + tax you can get a smashburger and fries. Or for $20 you can get fries and a "double cheeseburger between two grilled cheese sandwich buns" or whatever. There is also no tipping expectation since it's just a takeout place really. I need to go there more... before they go out of business...

    He might get a chance to go 7 for 7...
  17. Laika
    Omg Ohtani Uhhhh best game in MLB history?
  18. Laika
    Like, Toronto could change pitching development personnel with the White Sox or Rockies and it would be an improvement.

    Quick and dirty sort of the negative WAR relievers He should have been decent/good but he wasn't. Bad luck. Swanson (-0.7) Romano (-0.3) Mayza (-0.2) It's your fault, Ross, for acquiring this guy and giving him so many innings. Pop (-0.6) Cabrera (-0.5) Little (-0.4) The neg WAR guys who are harder to categorize are Richards, Green, and Pearson. Green has good Stuff+ numbers but his K rate and FIP are lagging. Hard to know why. Pearson - not wrong to give him innings but he did not develop and instead performed "as expected". Richards - similar to Pearson. not a bad guy to have for $2M but he didn't do very well and was possibly used poorly. And of course, as has been said before, it's not just about the guys who were bad it's about the complete and utter lack of organizational depth behind them. Almost nobody stepped in and provided above replacement level RP innings. I mean, literally one guy did (Ryan Burr). The Blue Jays did not develop and promote and use a single RP prospect this year, other than Brandon Eisert. That sounds hard to believe but it's true.

    suffer

    He has a near .400 BABIP with the Mariners, a lot of this is luck One thing that isn't said very often is that when fast guys who are good baserunners get lucky, they get REALLY lucky because that bloop single turns into a SB and other value on the bases as well.
  22. Laika
    It is funny but should have been expected I guess As an amateur Bo was chubby and many scouts didn't even consider him a SS prospect He worked hard and trimmed out But he's a chubster by nature
  23. Laika
    I don't necessarily hate fat Bo I mean his career can go in two directions and he has to pick a lane tbh Direction A = skinny-ish SS with fringe defense, hits .280+ with 20 HR and some steals and okay baserunning Direction B = fatter 3B or 2B with average defense, hits .265 with closer to 30 HR, no steals and neg baserunning He can't be good at everything

    Nimmala's line isn't even that weird anymore though. He could have linear development and end up with almost exactly the same line as an MLB player in a few years You know who the bull case comps actually are? And this is fun as f***... Oneil Cruz and Elly De La Cruz. NIMMALA - 18 years old - A ball - 8.3% BB 31.3% K, .245 ISO, .232./.313/.476 (121 wRC+) ONEIL - 18 years old - A ball - 7.5% BB 29.3% K, .102 ISO, .240/.293/.342 (79 wRC+) 19 years old - A ball repeated - 7.7% BB, 22.6% K, .201 IAO, .286/.343/.488 (134 wRC+) ELLY - 19 years old - A ball - 4.8% BB, 31% BB, .208 ISO, .269/.305/.477 (106 wRC+) (lost his age 18 year to Covid) ELLY and ONEIL in the MLB = 30%+ K rate dudes with .200 ISOs. 119 and 113 wRC+ this year from them. Even if you think he only has a 10 or 20% shot of making it, really all he needs to do is keep everything the same as he climbs the ladder. 30% K rates can work in MLB if you have power and secondary skills.

    There is even a precedent Imagine if Gallo was a good shortstop
