    Yeah it's much better. Still don't care for it but you can see all the design improvements. The Mexican one must have just been an early concept. - number on front - swoosh is not yellow - lettering bigger, better - navy instead of black - skyline colouring and detail better

    Here is a fun one! Mookie f***ing Betts 2012, 19 years old, NYPL 71 games and 0 home runs. only 8 2B and 1 3B. That's a .307 SLG. .659 OPS. Yes, he did hit .267 and had a really good K/BB rate. 2013 he figured out how to hit for power, never looked back. MLB in 2014 and immediately a Superstar.

    Most agree with you I guess the counterpoint is - sometimes these players click mid-season so it's just premature. There are "fast rising stars" who had bad 20-30 game stretches when they were 18 in rookie ball or A ball. Those stretches just tend to get masked by final season numbers being better. And there are guys who had completely bad seasons... but I would guess that any real Stars who did that probably could blame an injury or so. I have no examples, might look later, but Jose Ramirez had a .674 OPS in AA when he was 20.

    he lobbed it up in the air, underhand a fan caught it it was not aggressive or dangerous at all lmao and someone got an awesome souv

    Park factors are so tricky Nobody thought it would be anything other than hitters park or neutral but it must be the air resistance or something. Maybe filling in the stands and removing the air gaps between the wall and the seats has created more resistance or headwind? Very bizarre You see this in other parks but they tend to be outside when big buildings are added or removed and it changes how actual wind blows through the stadium

    Yeah when GMs are fired mid-season it tends to be in like, August.
  7. Laika
    Yeah but the issue is he might cling to WC3 competitiveness too long and not sell anybody. A new GM probably looks at the landscape and sells all of Bo, Gausman, Berrios, Garcia, others.

    Splatkins will figure it out I trust

    Wonder who is out there as a vet SP willing to go to AAA. Syndergaard?
  10. Laika
    Have to consider it Nobody is AAA is worth more than a spot start If Francis and Y Rod aren't options, then your options are basically Macko (who is on the 40 man) or Espino or some bullpen thing while stretching out Richards

    Jays should pick him up and say they support mental health treatment for professional athletes and no team should be so quick to make decisions around a player who is clearly going through an episode of anxiety 106 stuff+ 98 location+; Jorge Lopez is still a perfectly cromulent middle reliever Jays will need SP depth actually since Manoah is having the TJS, I wonder if Lopez with his pitching style could still start and chug innings? It would not be pretty but Buffalo is a f***ing wasteland for SP depth at this point

    Fastball was horrendous

    Josh Gibson career .374/.458/.720/1.178 Josh Gibson MLE .324/.398/.595/.994 If you extrapolate the playing time for MLB season length and use that OPS, he'd be like Stan Musial, Jimmie Foxx, or Mickey Mantle. So still a 100 WAR career and a fantastic, all-time player but *this poster was arrested for being racist*

    The positive way to think about Vlad is just that he happened to be overrated as a prospect because scouts are a bit dumb. He smashes the ball but has never been a guy who lifts the ball. You can see that in his swing plane, and you probably could back in the minors if you are a great scout. So the present outcome is very in line with his physical talents and that's fine! Just pretend that when he was a prospect he was a top 25 guy and not a #1 guy. Pretend that this was his scouting report:

    2023 BsR -10.4, rank 27th 2024 BsR -2.1, rank 23rd through 1/3 of the season mild improvement! but less TOOTBLANs for sure
  19. Laika
    Yeah it's complete bad-faith nonsense and not even remotely entertaining or funny
  20. Laika
    Interesting. Makes sense.
  21. Laika
    LMAO that is hilarious if true because I made this precise post yesterday As soon as I heard Toronto was doing a city connect jersey I thought of tkaronto and thought they might do something virtue signally with trees standing in the water or
  22. Laika
    oh SOME of them definitely do
  23. Laika
    Yeah some good command guys have started doing this with high two-seamers (bassitt) and sweepers/cutters aiming for the high corners of the zone more often mostly for whiffs right now though, not called strikes
  24. Laika
    You're probably just noise The team, org, coaches = full of weak men psychologically stunted human beings tiny stegosauras brains bad game plans and bad emotional regulation forget about ice in the veins these jerks have veins full of green tea or some weak sauce like that
  25. Laika
    tied 14th in wRC+ 25th in runs it's almost like that book It where the clown knows your deepest fears and exploits them that is what is happening to all of us this season oh, you thought they were inexplicably bad with RISP last year?
