    Cleveland drafts College guys with good command and spin, and they teach them to throw harder. They are forced to be good at a niche like this because they have no money. In Toronto they have money so they have not been forced to be good at anything in particular. So they have no niche. And they aren't great at spending money.

    Oh look, Berrios is throwing BP again And the Jays hitters just want to hit groundballs all day probably
  3. Laika
    How many home runs will Berrios give up on the first inning?
  4. Laika
    These are horrible plate appearances Not ready to hit. Swings not locked in. Poor plan at the plate / no plan.

    The average fastball from a RHP is like 94+ now So a low 90s sinker will tend to have below average velo, and movement the modern models do not love. A lot of mediocre sinkers should just never be thrown, you're right. Bassitt's sinker in 2022 was actually pretty good. You take a 98 Pitching+ on it all day because it can set up all his other pitches. But... there might be some model bias against sinkers. They do have some functions that perhaps are not properly appreciated by the models.

    63 Stuff+ on Bassitt's sinker last game He threw it more than any other pitch, by far (40%) He had a 96 Stuff+ on it last year what the f*** happened yesterday!? 2022 Bassitt on the year, all pitches combined: 98 Stuff+ and 102 Location+ Bassitt yesterday: 77 Stuff+ and 97 Location+

    Is Boston going to set some kind of record for wins or points? holy f***

    you know me too well

    I did look up Bassit's velocity game logs from 2022 His sinker average velo in his first 3 starts last year was similar to yesterday

    I don't want to get my hopes up too high for Francis but even if he is just a fringe SP5 candidate and someone to compete with Mitch White, that means a lot.
  11. Laika
    It's like... the game doesn't want any of us to be fans or something. Manoah sucks Team walks 14 times and doesn't score Bassitt has the 3rd worst start in Jays history and is probably worse than Tanner Roark I am in so much pain
  12. Laika
    Yeah but that was before he turned to dogshit this spring It's so over, Spanky Orioles will finish ahead of Toronto
  13. Laika
    But but but guys it's spring training and he's a veteran and his velocity is right where he wants it to be!!
  14. Laika
    Pretty gross outlook going forward they need to get lucky and have several of Pearson, Tiedemann, Zulueta, Robberse, Barriera, Macko etc. turn into quality MLB players over the next two years.
  15. Laika
    probably young enough for ~3 more MLB deals, for much less money. milb deals would only be imminent if the defense/baserunning erode
  16. Laika
    Wow Bassitt was a great signing! Gausman - SP1 Manoah - SP3 Bassitt - SP5 Berrios - SP5 Kikuchi - SP6 White - SP7 gross rotation
  17. Laika
    Oh well. Toronto got lucky on Thursday. Play better!!!!!
  18. Laika
    Looked like week 1 of spring training today. I don't think the Jays had one good swing. Maybe Kiermaier's single was on the barrel, sort of?
  19. Laika
    That term is just another gimmick to decrease cap hit Think of it more like 5/80 I guess?
  20. Laika
    He thicc
  21. Laika
    If he can stay healthy for a few weeks he's coming up
  22. Laika
    How about remove the extra runner But the managers can go from the top of the lineup in every inning of extra innings if they want it would almost be like a shootout just the best hitters leading off, over and over Springer Bo Vlad in the 10th Springer Bo Vlad in the 11th hahaha
  23. Laika
    How do you know he poses no danger? Anyone who runs onto the field is an unpredictable idiot. The ring box could have been a bomb!
  24. Laika
    I fully support the cops/security spearing any trespassers onto the field as violently as possible. Ideally, anyone who steps onto the field ends up with whiplash AT THE LEAST. Cervical damage is warranted.
