  4. Not too early. The measurements that help in small sample sizes are very concerning for a couple guys. Stuff+ 2022 ; 2023 Manoah 99 ; 94 Bassitt 98 ; 87 So for Manoah and Bassitt they are getting bad results, they look bad, and the fancy stats say their stuff is down significantly. Disgusting. The other three: Gausman 109 ; 117 Berrios 100 ; 99 Kikuchi 107 ; 107 Kikuchi is of course encouraging so far but it's reasonable to expect him to explode at some point, just based on his track record. There is zero reason to worry about Guasman. Berrios... has a good K/BB and FIP so far, but a poor ERA. He simply remains an enigma. The pitching models don't see him as any different than last year, all things considered.
  5. 22 weeks pregnant is "barely showing" for some women, lol I've seen some chicks run 10ks at like 33 weeks
  6. Just flew with a toddler and 1 year old Couldn't imagine leaving that much food debris on an airplane floor A movie theater or ballgame is simply not the same context. Different environment, different burdens on the staff who need to clean up, etc.
  7. Quality outfielders available Can move two of: Verdugo, Renfroe, De La Cruz (CF), Blackmon, Profar, Anderson (also has 3B), Laureano (CF), Haniger.

    Clean as f***
  9. Another factor is that it's not an intense sport for most players. So they don't physically need a lot of days off. The only players who need rest days after playing are starting pitchers.
  10. Actually, in Varsho's case the negative value seems to be from like one or two baserunners advancing on balls hit to him. His UZR/150 is elite but he has a random negative figure hung on his arm so far
  11. Why even look at them so early though? A player could have a negative defensive value very easily by pure chance alone. It could be caused by them literally not getting a chance to make any difficult plays for example
  12. Hard disagreement from me Espinal sucks and the magic is gone. He's a bench player for me. But Merrifield is old with eroding skills. Unless he is locked in, he should be platooning.
  13. Yeah Maybe a confidence thing Or maybe the focus in the off-season was mostly on slider command or tiny little shape changes that make it easier to command
  14. His sinker does NOT have a great stuff number but the model isn't great for sinkers The biggest difference this year is he is just throwing his slider a lot more.
  15. Why would Gallen be a sleeper pick???
  16. Pop slider stuff+ was 108 last year and is 112 this year. That's just normal variance I guess.
  17. Of course. It's reasonable to be concerned.
  18. Well if Pop and Swanson want to pitch like that consistently then the pen will be more than fine...
  19. Don't know what you're looking at mate but it's like two ticks off if you look at this start and last This fat tub of overconfidence is up there throwing 91 mph sinkers in the year 2023
  20. Can we talk about his velocity being way down yet?
  21. Okay now look at their lineup And look at their injury track record The division always looked and still looks like a three horse race
  22. Mayza looks good to me so far I don't love him but I won't slam him anymore
