  2. Laika
    okay that makes more sense still like 850 calories in just rice i guess if you are running triathlons and stuff it can work i would explode like a poisoned seagull though

    Barger/Orelvis/Schneider give them incredible AAA depth So yeah maybe just some crusty old veterans
  5. Laika
    Yeah his lack of patience is the one obvious difference from 2021
  6. Laika
    Wonder if the cancer and treatment somehow contributed to the major injury
  7. Laika
    Really he's just a massive upgrade on Espinal for the rest of the year

    I don't think it's a team-wide philosophy thing Each player seems to have specific issues Vlad - same old spray angle and GB% problems Kirk - lost his power stroke for a while + some basic growing pains Springer - is old and losing bat speed, I guess? I dunno. Varsho - mechanical flaws with swing + some poor basic tools

    He DOES fall into that bin But the wrinkle is that he always has to some degree and in prior years he has not been an xwOBA underperformer So... I dunno. Is the new home park killing his CF flyballs? Is he fatter and slower than ever and that's part of it? Was he just getting lucky by NOT underperforming his xwOBA in prior years? Should we just stfu and buy Guerrero Jr. jerseys and start cheering for him?

    His Angels debut was against Toronto
  13. Laika
    why do you keep posting this selfie
  14. Laika
    I dunno. I know his xwOBA this year is better than last year and his profile looks solid in most ways. Maybe it's bad luck, maybe it's the new home park dimensions. But offense aside he's still hitting bottom of the barrel talent projections when it comes to baserunning and defense. He is probably one of the stupidest baserunners in the game. He's just not a special talent and it seems obvious. The offense may still project well but it's highly subject to BABIP risk because of his swing tendencies. His peers are like... late career JD Martinez, Josh Bell, and Rowdy Tellez.

    The slumps that these players are in go far beyond bad starts or random variation. In my opinion. Something is f***ing wrong with these guys. Springer is just old. Kirk is going through a young player adjustment (I think he will be fine, eventually). Vlad might just kind of f***ing suck? It's unfortunate but there is a huge career sample now and most of it is problematic. I just disagree with leaffie's one sentence saying "if they manage to get close to career norms, this is not a winning team." of course if Kirk and Springer get close to career norms the team is much better. Vlad's career norm on the other hand is pretty mediocre all things considered.

    Reds are in first place They did nothing Check out Ben Lively's line tonight
  17. Laika
    Not really. Just the isolated decision to not replace him at second base that one time
  18. Laika
    Why is Espinal on this team?
  19. Laika
    Well, they chose not to spend money in the offseason and it was basically the same decision because everybody and their grandma could tell their core was looking good and they were primed to be competitive. So I would not be shocked if they cheap out and stand pat.
  20. Laika
    very low? toronto was probably just telling certain other teams that so they did not appear desperate
  21. Laika
    well that makes more sense jeepers
  22. Laika
    Yeah they have to be sending a big chunk of money
  23. Laika
    Some of these trades are hilarious Drew Gilbert and Ryan Clifford for Verlander omfg
  24. Laika
