    yeah pearson is a junkballer now I guess

    Just feel bad for Varsho at this point. Dude broke completely when he was traded I guess. Sad times for all involved. His swing much be a technical nightmare.

    Better at bats here full count, then 108 mph lineout, then 104 mph single

    Gilbert seemed dialed in though Is Kevon Keermayer cooked?

    Kirkkkkkkkkkkk been so useless

    squeezed on that walk, thanks ump

    Parsons is legit. Cleveland has been ruined by SP injuries. I bet they turn him into a 1 win SP5.

    Atkins all offseason. Probably knew Ernie and Davis were studs but didn't want to outright say "we have some total studs we don't want to block" because it would be overconfident or put too much pressure on the boys.

    I guess that's a possibility. Maybe they decided to check the standings around this date and if the O's were already 4 games up and everyone else looked flat they would hold him down and game service time to get 6.69 years of control but if they were in a dog fight they would call him up.

    Vogelbach's raw power is massively overrated, anyway. Horwitz is probably better than Vogelbach at literally f***ing everything other than accruing home runs. The last time Toronto had a AAAA type 1B they did not believe in it was Ryan Noda. Mr. 2.2 WAR Ryan Noda. That Ryan Noda.

    wonder if Kirk's hitting is being hurt by this workload honestly, don't care how much he hits anymore since he's the best defensive C in baseball
  12. Laika
    Trying to understand why the Orioles even sent Holliday to AAA. - The corresponding move was the DFA Tony Kemp - He will still accrue a full year of service time in 2024 - He is apparently still eligible to reward to team if he wins ROY .... Did they actually just want to see Mateo + Urias + Kemp for 10 games to figure out who to cut? Or hold them all as long as possible to maintain depth in case someone got hurt? Did they actually just want to see Holliday start at 2B for a week in AAA, to make sure his defense was fine?

    But are you mentally prepared for him to go to Tampa Bay and have them coach him into a 7 WAR hitter
  14. Laika
    The 2024 Toronto Blue Jays mix-and-match hitters are starting to remind me of the old Raptors Bench Mob FVV, Delon, Siakam, Powell, Poeltl After Turner the Jays WAR leaderboard is IKF, Clement, Biggio, Schneider.

    Such a stud everyone owes Rick Atkins a big apology
  16. Laika
    He's a much worse hitter than Chat Mappman But he might be less annoying to watch hit.
  17. Laika
    Only way it's not ominous is if the team sees it as a mental health break

    tbh I do not think Biggio has been having good plate appearances he has not been walking a lot or putting good swings on the ball or making good swing decisions. He has taken strikes down the dick way too often. If you remove his good game #1 where he walked twice and homered, he is hitting .231/.310/.308 with just a 6.9% walk rate his only barrel so far was that home run which barely got out BIG MEH STRONGLY PREFER ERNEST "ROBERTO" CLEMENT(e)

    The fun thing about tonight is that George Kirby and Chris Bassitt have the same mechanics And exactly the same body And they are both deep arsenal guys who can throw anything Bassitt is just the earth 2099 version of George Kirby. He lost his 4 seamer mid-career and became an old two-seamer. That's the difference.

    Damn those kids are still pretty young. 20 and 19. At least they are millionaires.

    Bro the Red Sox have lost Pivetta, Giolito, and Story for the full year. And they are throwing $50M+ extensions at Bello and Raffaela??? Bad times in Boston. Stinky summer. Also, the return for Sale isn't even playing yet.
  22. Laika
    yeah incredible almost like the old video is missing frames haha https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/2020/06/rotational-acceleration-sequencing-and-the-swing/

    White Sox are such a dumpster fire. They suck and are wasting playing time on: Robbie Grossman, Kevin Pillar, Martin Maldonado, Paul DeJong, Tim Hill, Dominic Leone, Bryan Shaw. These guys suck and are all 30+. Some of them are 36+. What is the point of rostering them? You might win one more game and be 70-92 rather than 69-93? They could have replaced all of them with younger waiver claim players and it would make more sense for their organization. Could have made max # of Rule5 selections and any Rule5 player would make more sense then Kevin Pillar lmao. They should have traded Robert this offseason. It's a clear rebuild and he was a star with huge value and an injury history. Dumb hold.

    So here is one thing to watch for I have heard people say that "trunk rotation speed" for hitters is a rough equivalent for pitcher velocity. It's the core thing that dictates swing speed, reaction time, adjustment time in the swing. Hitters need to be able to rotate and adjust powerfully and quickly. I bet we see hitters train for high performance "trunk rotation" more and more aggressively over time. And I bet we see more and more oblique injuries and rotation injuries as a result.

    Yeah most attendees in those zones use the seats for corporate networking. It's sad as a fan but they often don't care much about the game. Same thing happens in Yankee Stadium and has been for years, you will see a lot of the good seats empty at certain points of certain games. The team is maximizing revenue though. They jack the prices and still sell all the tickets so.
