  1. that's doesn't really help team's will look at Vlad and drool. "we can fix her" they don't really think that about Bellinger anymore. you can't turn hamburger meat back into steak.
  2. Good and lucky early, bad and lucky lately
  3. I might agree with connorp Vlad camp is probably eyeing the Devers extension What he would actually get in free agency just depends so much on the next 1.6 years though
  4. Clutch time Middle middle fastball -17 degree launch angle Lmaoooooo
  5. 110 mph straight into the ground Lmaooooo
  6. Lose one and sweep the next would be fine
  7. It was some nebulous shoulder thing last year but yeah it's certainly possible the injury began a year ago and it was just hard to detect or not yet affecting the elbow specifically kinetic chain gets all f***ed up and then in a matter of months, or sometimes years, the elbow eventually pops in fact, given the sudden decline in stuff (he went from something like an SP3 in MLB to a bad AAA pitcher) I would bet that this is what happened. he was hurt heading into 2023, it was just a sneaky injury.
  8. This is the gauntlet. Make or break. Must win basically every series. Maybe they could afford a couple of series losses but with so many other teams in the WC race you know one of them is going to pull away. Definitely need to curb stomp Boston and Houston
  9. Yes but we would have expected Judge+Soto to be something like 6 combined WAR better than Vlad+Bo, pre-season. So the present performance (10 WAR vs 1.6) would be compared to an expected performance of like 6 WAR vs 3, or something like that, at this point in the year. The Yankees are milking more value out of their SP than expected, across the board. They are way over their skis though. Their ERA minus FIP is wildly lucky at the moment.
  10. It's literally how he has to pitch Rising fastball
  11. Classic Bo Hacking at garbage pitches, first chance, double play
  12. Yeah he has no incentive to sign for some team friendly thing He could go year to year in FA and suck and make $20M for the next five or six years
  13. They can play it both ways Shop him to see if there is a monster deal, if not just hold and sign whoever jaysblue wants to target this off-season cuz he's a genius
  14. Cubs Have Reportedly “Privately Discussed” Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Trade June 9th, 2024 at 9:46am CST • By Nick Deeds If the Blue Jays make star slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. available this summer, it appears that the Cubs would be among the suitors for his services. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported this morning that Chicago’s brass have “privately discussed” the possibility of pursuing Guerrero ahead of the trade deadline next month.
  15. Biggio had some fringe tools to begin with and they've eroded. He can't hit anymore. He's 29, past his physical prime. His positive WAR right now is partially a mirage from short sample defensive stats (he has negative defensive value in his career). Collecting some walks and bloop singles against below average pitchers probably doesn't in fact help the team win as much as a raw WAR total would imply. Just hopeless against good pitching.
  16. Okay but pre season why was JT bad and JDM so good? That's 100% hindsight All of JP, JT, JDM, even maybe Teoscar were same bucket
  17. Buy low and pray I mean, why not? Unless he can be traded for a haul, what else is there to look forward to? Realistically Tiedemann is no better then Kyle Harrison and Orelvis is just a 2 war hacker
  18. Yeah they were f***ed and the course was set To fix this team in 2024 they would've had to make many different decisions before the offseason. Maybe years before. Still atkins' fault
  19. The through points over the last four seasons are: -Vlad and Bo (the core) -Atkins -Guillermo So it's either... hitting coach bad, game prep analytics system bad, players are low IQ, or some combo
  20. No he hasn't lmao
  21. Disgusting team remains disgusting Shutout by a nobody shitf*** lefty The ownership deserves to lose money for this product how can we make that happen
  22. Yeah f*** George Why the f*** does he fall down on every other swing? Such an old f***
  23. Yeah the Jays suck at development everyone agrees But the one thing they are good at is selecting players from the FA pile. Even Y Rod this year, injury notwithstanding, looks like a good one.
  24. Can't see that Maybe D&D or some other tabletop game for Atkins Shapiro's guilty habit would be a bit more historic. Maybe... canning? Like, making jams and s***?
