    If Shi is not misspeaking there then that might be more concerning than basics biceps inflammation. Because that might mean it has more to do with the biceps tendon that attaches to the shoulder. "biceps tendonitis of the shoulder" or something like that.

    gonna call him Wan Kyoto now

    Hard to see it but I guess there is a chance, if he keeps this up and ends up with a 3 WAR and/or 25+ HR season.

    Long season remaining but the trade looks great for Arizona. That doesn't necessarily mean Toronto loses the trade. It just means that sudden and decisive outcome that was a possibility on their end, where Moreno busts and Toronto just wins the swap outright, is certainly not happening. Because Moreno looks like a stud. He's going to hit .300 this year with no power and be a 2 WAR catcher. Then he's going to learn how to poke enough homers to be JT Realmuto from 2025 onwards. Gurriel is whatever. If he has a good walk year with the Diamondbacks, good for him and them. But he didn't have any substantial value at the time of the trade IMO.

    What better MLB team to play in ENGLAND than the only Commonwealth team in the league? Do people in St Louis, Chicago, New York, or Boston have the Queen mum on their moneys? Poutine is basically just beans on toast if you squint. Or bangers and mash, more like.

    What do you mean? Samsonov played the bulk of the minutes and his GAA/SV% track with the team's goals allowed ranking. Toronto was 7th in GA but functionally tied with 11th place Vegas (five goal difference). I don't think Toronto was a "top 5" defensive team unless you are looking at some fancy stat. Boston was #1 and then there are like 10 teams basically tied in that second tier.

    To me, Nylander just seems like the least talented all things considered. I don't know what the fancy stats say about Marner and Matthews but I could see them being, or at least having the capacity of becoming, better two-way players than Nylander. I dunno.

    Fools gold. Most "elite" NHL goalies are just the byproduct of the elite defense in front of them. Very few exceptions.

    It reads like punishment I wonder if Contreras got into a tit for tat with Wainwright or something like that

    I could buy that he is a below average catcher or that he is not amazing at the hard to quantify catchery leadership stuff. But bad at it to the point that he needs to be removed from the position? It's just so weird. And it doesn't seem like a sensible way to get a positive response from the player
  11. Laika
    not a bad offer at all
  12. Laika
    It's also just quite clearly ******** They have been rolling with Jake Woodford (swingman with 4.75 career FIP), Jack Flaherty (4.97 FIP in 2022) and Steven Matz (5.25 ERA in 2022) 3/5 of the time. You can't put those three SP behind two mid-rotation pitchers and expect success. Mikolas has been bad but his K and BB numbers look fine, so I think it's just noise. Montgomery has been good. It's a dogshit rotation and the GM should be embarrassed.

    I find it hard to believe that he is THAT bad If he is, why the f*** would they sign him...
  14. Laika
    This is so bizarre

    but what do you do? they are kind of married to their core i always thought they should have let Nylander walk
  16. Laika
    Hard to believe he has zero walks. Seems like he has been all over the place. I think it's very hard for an MLB RP to be very good in 2023 while throwing 75% fastballs. I'd love to see the slider show up as a usable/effective pitch.
  17. Laika
    I kind of doubt that he is throwing 6 distinct pitches immediately after TJS. His old scouting reports don't mention a sinker or cutter. Kind of think these are just misclassifications or inconsistency on his FB or SL
  18. Laika
    It's funny. Make smart posts for a long time and people start to sort of respect you. You should try it
  19. Laika
    You can do most of what they did without being horrible for years. Yeah, you are never drafting a Jackson Holliday but... Gunnar Henderson was picked 42nd overall. Grayson was 11th. And you can try to sign the international version of Jackson Holliday still...
  20. Laika
    That's the only advantage Toronto has and it's short term. Baltimore chose not to invest in the big club this year so their MLB talent didn't project as well as Toronto's for 2023. If/when Baltimore doubles that payroll... yikes.
  21. Laika
    Unfathomable
  22. Laika
    Even if you only look at the infield... Baltimore is so far ahead of Toronto that it's terrifying. Gunnar Henderson Jackson Holliday Jordan Westburg Joey Ortiz Coby Mayo Connor Norby And Mateo, Urias, and Frazier who are all playing well on the big club. And it's a similar story in the Outfield and for Pitching. Toronto's infield depth is horrendous in comparison. Bo for a few years, Chapman and Merrifield on walk years, then two useless MLB players in Biggio and Espinal plus the dying hope that was Addison Barger. There is basically nobody else coming. Baltimore has like two Addison Bargers and three prospects better than him.

    Shut down with a forearm strain in spring Early May it has now devolved into a degenerative back issue Hahaha
  24. Laika
    League average ERA is like 4.30 now. I'd take a 4.30 from Bassitt if it comes with 6 innings most of the time.
  25. Laika
    I'd support it. Atkins is mid. Shapiro is the GOAT but Atkins can be improved upon.
