    Manoah really has poor command. Sigh.

    The most surprising teams in baseball: Padres 13-14 minus 20 run diff --> playing like s*** Dodgers 13-13 plus 9 run diff --> SURPRISINGLY MEDIOCRE Pittsburgh 18-8 plus 35 run diff --> LMAO WHAT Cardinals 10-16 minus 5 run diff --> bad luck + surprisingly mediocre The AL Central sucks but nothing too shocking there. The AL West is a dogfight. That's fun to see, actually. Four decent teams. The AL East is f***ing insane, of course. Ugh.

    Very few teams slow play pitching prospects these days

    everybody is at least 1% gay and Kevin Kiermaier is that 1%

    I took over a BBDL in an act of charity and it happens to be the #1 team in the league Not only do I have Shohei Ohtani but I have tons of other fun players like the resurgent Yusei Kikuchi, the intrepid Zac Gallen, and the electric Sandy Alcantara. Also Jackson Holliday who is the best prospect in the world. And one guy I have always loved and supported no matter what, Jarred Kelenic, and it just warms my heart to see him slugging like this.

    Even just getting Zach Pop with the 12th overall pick might be an okay result. I don't remember the numbers but I would guess that the 12th draft spot probably only has an expected WAR to the drafting team of like... 5 WAR? I think a pick in that range probably has a 70% bust rate. The average WAR is inflated because some of the players who make it are exceptional. So any type of useful MLB player will be above the most common result.

    That's just you doing mental gymnastics to be sad about something. Brownie said the Groshans trade for Pop and Bass was a huge win. It probably was, considering Groshans as a prospect in the context of that trade. The 2018 draft is not relevant anymore. If the Jays had a time machine they'd go back and draft Shane McClanahan.

    Yeah Bass was fantastic last year and perfectly cromulent for a few season before that so it would be rough (stupid) to give up on him after 8 innings. As sad as it would be, it would be better to just make Pop or Pearson chew glass in Buffalo... at least until Bass has produced a bigger sample size of suck. The bullpen is honestly sort of stacked. Like, I am comfortable with almost every reliever, in most situations. Ignoring Cimber who is hurt, every active RP other than Bass has a pretty solid K-BB right now. Trevor Richards has a great ratio; his K-BB peers at the moment are Bednar, Bryan Abreu, Jhoan Duran, Paul Sewald, Josh Hader...

    Loss Win coin-flip slug fest, edge Toronto

    Yeah I think they'll cut Bass, or make the unpopular choice to option Pop or Pearson. No chance they let White go. SP depth is way too thin. Tiedemann - the exciting good option Bowden Francis - decent option Zulu - can't throw strikes Thompson - horrible Robberse - too green Hatch - is relieving now Hutchison - lol Ryu - who knows You'd probably slot Juenger as a 2-3 inning "SP" third on this list.

    I'll respect them if they sweep the Rays!
  12. Laika
    Shutdowns and Meltdowns on Fangraphs assess that
  13. Laika
    I guess they were worried he was cooked? It's looking like they sold low on him though so good for Toronto, in hindsight.
  14. Laika
    And after the White Sox they get the Pirates, lol. I guess May is the month where we would hope to see the Rays go on a losing streak: Yankees, Orioles, Yankees, Mets, Brewers, Blue Jays, Dodgers Toronto gets one soft patch in August/Sept: Nationals, Rockies, A's, Royals, Rangers, Red Sox And that soft patch in June/July around the all star break: Rangers, Marlins, A's, Giants, Red Sox, White Sox, Tigers, Diamondbacks.

    Seems weird, man.
  16. Laika
    certainly? lol

    Whit Merrifield makes less than $3M right now
  18. Laika
    kookoocheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  19. Laika
    Uh oh
  20. Laika
    lmao Kikuchi is a f***ing stud now
  21. Laika
    It would not be a pathetic look for the White Sox if they were any good. But they suck all the time. The Rays are always good. They are beyond criticism.
  22. Laika
    Pathetic look for the White Sox if we are being blunt.
  23. Laika
    Jays rotation is so weird. All over the place with talent, expectations, results. Haha.
  24. Laika
    Teoscar is making $14M this season. He really was not worth a whole lot. Macko makes or breaks the deal. If he is any kind of useful MLB pitcher for Toronto, they win the thing hands down. If Macko busts then it might be closer to an even trade in hindsight unless Swanson really shoves.

    so happy i own kelenic in one of my dynasty leagues. always been a massive fan and supporter
