    The O's pulled like, two rabbits out of their ass. Let's simmer down. Baker and Cionel Perez both kind of lost it on them this year. Relievers are fickle. Bautista looks like a found stud but Cano could be a pumpkin next year.

    I could definitely see a behind-the-times team like the Red Sox overpaying Merrifield... sure

    Brandon Drury had a 3 WAR season at age 30 and only got 2/$17M Profar was 2.5 WAR at 30 and barely got an MLB deal. $7M I think. Turner, Pederson, Carpenter all had big old guy years in 2022 and none got $25M. They got 2/20, 2/12, 2/22 I don't see any need to give Merrifield a bag of money. There will be other options. Try to get him to take a nice little 2 year deal, sure, but don't bid against yourself.

    what the f*** are you guys even talking about they DID go for it in 2021. They traded two top prospects for Berrios! getting too aggressive for a reliever is how you end up doing dumb s*** like trading Bryan De La Cruz for a month of Yimi Garcia. The Astros literally did that in 2021 lmao.

    I have talked to people in baseball who have said things like "line drive rate is the hardest thing to project" Whit is funny. Same player at 34 that he was in his 20s. In almost every single way.
  9. Laika
    He still has his core skills But the physical talent has eroded to a point where everything is probably teetering on the brink Yes, "pure luck" was the wrong phrase More like... at any given point the player might be replacement level or worse

    The best thing a hitter can do in baseball is just not swing Belt is proving this He's a science experiment Vlad with Belt's approach is a .300/.400/.600 hitter
  11. Laika
    I am surprised at Belt's fWAR being 1.6 I was thinking it would be under 1 His bWAR is almost the same though; 1.4 I kind of think he has been horrendous and it is just working out from pure luck. Like, there are massive holes in his swing and his K rate is astronomical. He is a surprisingly competent baserunner for a slow 35 year old though and his defense in limited action at 1B has been positive.

    imagine if the kid is HIS from when she was 13 or 12?
  13. Laika
    Waiting for more info There could be something lost in translation I am seeing pictures from her socials of her and her kid. Also, behind the wheel of a sports car with a bottle of vodka, lol There was a Wander Franco snapback hat giveaway yesterday at the Trop for kids 14 and under

    lmfao of course YOU would say this
  15. Laika
    Maybe Definitely needs a pitch redesign

    The 2023 Toronto Blue Jays Flyballs to dead CF and groundballs right at middle infielders
  17. Laika
    That hit is the best example I have seen of why Vladdy has horrible defensive numbers and is a bad defender Literally fall down range His first step is atrocious
  18. Laika
    f*** this team omg
  19. Laika
    Yeah there is a gun to his head
  20. Laika
    4.98 runs per game on average, per team, in 2022 5.60 in 2023 12% increase in offense year to year so.... yeah. but this is why wRC+ exists!
  21. Laika
    Yeah When they called him back up there was a lot of criticism of the FO. How could they think he is fixed already!? But it turns out they just kind of needed a starter and he was the s***** AAAA quality pitcher they could go to.
  22. Laika
    interesting comparison Harper's struggles with the stick were of course softened by the fact that he was a decent baserunner and okay RF but offensively I see it Harper's 115 and 111 wRC+ years were pretty disappointing relative to his hype
  23. Laika
    I really feel like if Vlad was just a good player still (not even a great player) the team would be so much more watchable and enjoyable.
  24. Laika
    If Noah f***ing Syndergaard is able to navigate this lineup with limited damage... I will literally cry.
  25. Laika
    Vlad is so f***ing broken He has/had all the talent and tools for a Miguel Cabrera career. He just decided to do it on fast forward. He is 34 year old Miggy now.
