Ragans probably wants revenge after his weird start against Toronto last year

Just seems weird to ABSOLUTELY NEVER pull a fastball His main plan can still be his main plan but every once in a while you have to just Jose Bautista a fastball If you can't do that, you are not a complete hitter.

I think I am still on Team Not Panicking for Bo and maybe still on TNP for Vlad. maybe. I just like to write doomer fan fiction here

Finally found video of this play. Bertuzzi penalty for hitting Coyle. It was not a penalty, lmao.

hmmm yeah looks like he is a wide arsenal guy with a plus changeup sometimes those guys have trouble translating their skills to MLB for obvious reasons. I am sure we will see later this year. The Cards have some s***** old pitchers.

I wonder if the league has sort of solved Bo. He has not pulled a fastball down the line since 2022 (not kidding). He is a predictable hitter. He sets the tempo of his swing in between heaters and breaking balls then tries to slash fastballs to RF (be a bit late) while pulling offspeed pitches (be a bit early). Feels like if you can just pepper him inside with decent fastballs 60% of the time, he will almost never do damage on them. Worst case scenario he might poke it to RF for single. Unless you miss over the middle. Fastballs in, breaking balls away. Cuts his nuts off. No nuts. Last night: - fastball inside, groundout to 1B - sinker outside, then sinker up and in, groundout to 2B - three fastballs inside from Zerpa, then a FB away and a groundout to 2B - slider down, groundout to SS Night before: - 7/9 pitches in first PA were fastballs, many up and in. walked. - single on a sinker that stayed away - away with the offspeed, groundout to SS - pitch inside, groundout to 1B - slider away, groundout to 1B I dunno bros. Just something to watch. If I am a P with a decent FB he just gets FBs inside all f***ing day until he proves he can do damage on them.

Blow Bichette has negative BsR, negative defense, and an xwOBA somehow worse than his .284 wOBA. 9th percentile range below average arm strength barreling up almost nothing. hitting nothing hard. no sweet spot.

He just LOOKS better even before the pitch is thrown. Seems to have a more powerful stance. More confident and intimidating. Right is last year.

Sem Robberse carving up AAA at 22 years old. Youngest qualified SP in the International League, second in qualified ERA.

Yes they need some of the prospects and first year players to become above average regulars A few of them

It's true Refs hate it when you are falling all over the place and whining

Didn't see that penalty but Bertuzzi seems like an idiot He took a dive right before Boston's first goal. Could have got called for embellishment. Refs start to call you differently when you do stuff like that

Everything you say is negative Negative reactions to you are therefore completely organic!

Good guys win again!

Good future Do you ever smile in real life?

Don't think either of them has had a single good PA in like ten days

It's 2024 There are advanced hyper regressed machine learning models than judge him after 50 pitches and project ERA with more accuracy than Bill James

All I can guess is that JS was overthinking it. 4D chess Prob thought that they would bring in a good rhp if he pinch hit? Maybe thought Zerpa sucks? I dunno. Weird.

Seems like a few singles by the Kansas City Royals have shaken your confidence in Y Rod! Silly!

Builds character

A few singles scare you? lol

Literally Tim Mayza. Until this year

Incredibly s***** luck Jays could have 5 runs in another park
