    Gil always had great stuff. Matos is just good, based on prospect pedigree and prior stats. Weathers, I've heard that he changed his pitches. Pitch design breakout?
  2. Laika
    Not that I have seen. Not like that. The guys who had great springs as young prospects were already all top prospects. Delauter, Wood, Spencer Jones. Brock Wilken was a top FYPD pick. Andy Pages was a hot commodity a year ago. On the pitching side the story is a few post-hype breakouts. Well, possible breakouts. Puk, Ryne Nelson, Weathers, and Luis Gil. Also pitching models adore Jared Jones.

    Still, 70 wRC+ last year Just take it year to year with him like wtf.

    7 year ext for Tovar, lmao It's like the Rockies don't even use WAR or any similar measurements of value
  5. Laika
    Okay bro
  6. Laika
    Wouldn't call it mangled unless those UCLs start popping Just a couple little boo boos so far
  7. Laika
    I wouldn't be shocked to see a Tim Mayza sudden IL placement Ppl saying his velo is way down

    Okay so the Angels were already the worst organization in baseball but now they are the worst twice over. Tyler Skaggs is fed illicit drugs by team employees and dies. Mobsters are gambling with players in the Angels hotel, and successfully leveraging Angels players for millions of dollars in illegal payouts.

    Not sure! The friend might go to jail here. Ohtani might end up pleading guilty to being an accessory to wire fraud, and paying a fine. MLB is actually in a tough spot. The story is WORSE than people are talking about I think because this bookie was at the Angels hotel, gambling and soliciting MLB players. So there might be more here! Arguably if MLB doesn't do something to Ohtani it sets a horrible example.

    I don't think this makes sense I like Lukes just fine and he's had a good spring but if KK is healthy, it's not like Lukes is going to be much use. Occasional pinch running duty. Pure injury backup for the OF. Maybe gets one start in the first two weeks, if one of the old guys needs a break. I could see Vogelbach having more utility. Is the above Lukes possible usage worth more than having DV to pinch hit in almost every game, and maybe start a few times at DH against RHP? With Turner in the field. Lukes might get some extended opportunity later on if there is an OF injury.

    The above just tracks with everything. Ohtani literally did send the wires, from his personal online banking, with the interpreter there at this side. But reasonably Ohtani didn't even know it was illegal so there is an argument the friend sort of duped him, lied to him so to speak. Of course ignorance is seldom a defense when it comes to laws like this. You can't really just tell the cops you didn't do any due diligence on the $4.5M you wired.

    Here is the key info.

    That would also make sense. Some players just play through injuries and we never hear of them. He did IMO become weirdly slow and stiff, almost suddenly
  14. Laika
    Good news on KK
  15. Laika
    He was smaller and more mobile when he came up I think he added mass to try and add power and it took away too much of his speed and mobility. And defensive talent.
  16. Laika
    It didn't look great. He was limping. Hopefully a bone bruise is all
  17. Laika
    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
  18. Laika
    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.

    You guys are dumb
  20. Laika
    It's like he gets nervous when he has to face real hitters lmao The AAA version of Mitch White is evidently dominant
  21. Laika
    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
  22. Laika
    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.
  23. Laika
    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
  24. Laika
    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.
  25. Laika
    IKF's homer was 412 feet Just get Matt Hague to run through the Ernie Clement drills with IKF. Easy 15+ HR pop
