    Blame Vlad for that

    I don't know if I hang that one on Schneider. Francis' minor league track record makes it seem like he's not a real starting pitcher anyway. Probably more of a once time through guy... or once through then pray the second time goes right if he had to be a normal starter (like Kikuchi). Circumstances in prior games kind of left them with little options in this one BUT Cimber wearing back to back Ls just when the team was turning it around is rough. His job on the team is in jeopardy at this point

    "has been worse" is not the same as "is worse"

    Wow. 114 wRC+ for Orelvis.
  5. Laika
    At least Duran is burned for the series. Probably

    why would he be worth f***ing anything?

    I'm not sure the sideshow had anything to do with this Could have been purely a baseball choice Yimi Garcia has better FIP and xFIP numbers. Adam Cimber is controllable for 2024. They can't lose Mitch White right now, despite how poorly he was throwing in the minors.

    Who "started it" kind of matters but when we go back and delete 40 posts and there are 20 from each side of the stupid argument, it really doesn't matter who threw the first insult. You're both idiots.

    The random anon on the internet "talking s*** about religion, Christians, calling people rednecks" unless you're a soft little snowflake and just cannot help but reply? that's deeply ironic, though

    Do you have a persecution fetish? Would Jesus Christ ever "clap back" on an internet forum? lmao Just ignore it

    Here, I started a separate Anthony Bass thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Torontobluejays/

    I am going to just start banning people who can't help themselves. For the record, John_Havok was the instigator here. I will not forget this.

    Will he be wearing assless chaps?

    I don't think so. 30th percentile sprint speed so he likely is a below average runner and defender at this point in his career. Even if the BsR has positive regression it's probably still negative ROS, and the defense might regress in the other direction (his UZR is +4/150games right now but his career is -3/150games). I'm thinking 5.5 to 6 WAR would be his range of outcomes if he continues to play like this. Acuna might end up with some insane counting stats himself. He is on pace for: 31 HR, 74 SB, .331 AVG, .404 OBP, 128 runs, 87 RBI, 7.7 WAR AND his "projected" pace (add ROS projections to current stats) is basically the same, just reduce the AVG and OBP a bit. What if it's Acuna with .320/.410 30 HR 65 SB 130 Runs 100 RBI 7.7 WAR vs Arraez with .401/.450 with 3 HR, 2 SB, 65 runs, 80 RBI 5.8 WAR

    I think if he hits .400 he gets the MVP even if his WAR isn't close to the leaders

    So Elly De La Cruz is basically Oneil Cruz?

    the rare Dodgers failure story

    That's kind of cool tbh. Good for Pompey. A lot of guys who don't make it in baseball and aren't able to bank retirement money just end up as... used car salesmen, or baseball coaches in some fringe league or training facility where they probably make like $30k a year. It's kind of mature to just let the game go. Some guys can't. It's sad as f*** that he flopped though. He was a rock solid, multi-tool prospect. Made contact, played D, hit for some power, could steal bases. He excelled in the minors with great age vs. level figures. Projection systems probably loved him.

    I mean it WOULD have been cool to see him spin a CG win over the Astros while throwing under 90 pitches. Just too bad it was the top of the order due up in the 9th and not the 6-8 hitters.
  21. Laika
    Yeah people are pretty stupid. Since 2021 he is 11th best RP in WAR and 8th best in ERA. Emmanuel Clase leads the league in blown saves this year and he's perhaps the best RP in baseball (best since 2021; best projected ERA probably). Felix Bautista is tied for the 2nd most blown saves and he is a good alternate candidate for best RP in baseball. The likelihood that the Houston Astros would score one run against Chris Bassitt in the 9th inning, after seeing him multiple times already that game, is probably 2-3 times higher than the likelihood they will score one run against Romano. I think it's just anecdotal and people hang their negative emotions on specific memories and specific pitching decisions. One thing in the modern game that makes people uncomfortable is that many pitchers spam breaking balls; there is this notion that breaking balls are wild and fastballs are easier to control. While that used to be true, it's simply not anymore for most pitchers.

    I think North used to love this guy. He was another one of those stat-scouting darlings from the Dodgers org.

    not my job i'm the rainbow cop
  24. Laika
    The Marlins have some decent bats below him. They have a league average offense.
  25. Laika
    Nah they suck
