  1. It didn't look great. He was limping. Hopefully a bone bruise is all
  2. Jim how the f*** are you even thinking you were right? Manoah died, Gausman is hurt, Y Rod is delayed, Tiedemann had a healthy spring... if RT doesn't break camp with Toronto then he basically had zero chance and you're dunking on yourself
  3. RE Ohtani I agree with Eno Sarris Most plausible explanation is that the assistant was extended that much credit because the bookie figured there was a good chance Ohtani would pay a debt that big. Ohtani did pay it, probably naive to the fact that there is some California law against paying off someone else's gambling debts in that way. That is the simplest explanation that explains everything. It explains why Ohtani first said he paid off the debt then there was a change of story and the new story was that the funds were stolen.
  4. It's like he gets nervous when he has to face real hitters lmao The AAA version of Mitch White is evidently dominant
  5. another issue is that he throws too many completely uncompetitive breaking balls. just hanging them a foot over the zone or bouncing in the dirt
  6. The fastball velo/shape is still fringe-average. When he's under 95 it probably gets destroyed, as we have seen. When it's 96+ it's hard enough to play as something like an MLB average fastball. Fine line. Today he maintained 95+ at like 70+ pitches, that's good.
  7. Just a question of WHEN, not IF, Mitchy White forces his way into the rotation. Honestly he probably ends the season as the SP3, leapfrogging Skibuchi and Basshat and stealing Bowden Francis' girlfriend
  8. It would 100% be the reason Holliday has good projections so they are definitely the better team if they cut one of them and install JH as starting 3B I don't know how they could argue that he needs to work on anything in AAA.
  9. IKF's homer was 412 feet Just get Matt Hague to run through the Ernie Clement drills with IKF. Easy 15+ HR pop
  10. asset management, baby ramon urias and jorge mateo both have 0 options left
  11. Their SP quality and depth is good enough to compete in that division. Their lineup could be if Keith and Meadows are immediately good, and if Greene/Torkelson/Carpenter all maintain from 2023. Pen is meh but that doesn't matter much.
  12. It seemed weird that he got so many PA. Maybe Toronto had a handshake agreement with him that he would get a starter's workload in spring training.
  13. MW absolutely blows away top prospect Wilyerrrrr Abreoooooo with three heaters, sublime heaters MW thoroughly outclasses Pablo Reyes, former top prospect, with a 4S, slider, sinker three pitch combo MW convincingly dominates tooled-up up and comer Emmanuel Valdez with gas on top of gas on top of GAS!!!!!!!!! Heaters the kid could barely touch, WOW!
  14. Mitch white has a 8:10 K:BB this spring lmao why is this guy still playing baseball
  15. Ernie Clement signing baseballs for kids like the superstar he is
  16. It is motherf***ing MITCH WHITE DAY MITCHY WHITE IS ON THE BUMP TODAY 97 WITH SWEEP BABY
  17. Really interesting article The gifs help. The 2023 swing is like a classic golf problem, where your backswing and downswing are not on the same plane and you therefore have a slice or hook problem. Varsho also had a mishit problem in 2023, which probably manifested in too many pop ups and other kinds of meek contact. Seems like his 2024 spring training swing is definitely on the "same plane". Whether that flatter swing path is beneficial remains to be seen. But at the least it might lead to more consistent kinds of contact.
  18. Good example of why Toronto didn't just fire everybody in the hitting department after 2023. Would have been doing the baby bathwater garbage sewer thing
  19. Damn man Coconut oil popcorn is like, my healthy alternative to s***** popcorn or chips
  20. RE: Ernie Hard to believe it was possible but they did it. The mad men did it. They took a Cleveland prospect who had been with Cleveland from 2017 to 2022, and successfully Clevelanded him. It's insane. It's like taking a 26 year old Guardians SP draft pick and coaching up his velocity. How can it even happen. It's their specialty?
  21. Why do you think it's a "loophole", mikey? do you not believe in contractual freedom? do you not believe in the basic accounting logic behind the net present value of money? what is being dodged? why is it unfair?
  22. Ricky T looked incredible Was popping 98
