    makes sense phillies and braves are not good toronto is clearly worse than baltimore, tampa bay, washington prooooobably worse than the yankees IMO but I dunno, maybe not. kind of just a middle tier that is five teams thick if you are only thinking of the 10 teams in the east divisions.

    This was already happening to pitchers multiple times per game because batters could call time, infinitely

    too bad we don't really get any info on Kikuchi other than the radio guys saying he looked good + resulting BB and K numbers
  5. Laika
    yeah every K will be three strikes every walk will just be four balls every ball in play will be one pitch

    Yeah it seems like they did him dirty but... he f***ing sucks. They are a significantly better team with Korpisalo and Copley dressing. Quick has actually been bad for like 5 years and LA has been very gracious to let him continue to try to play goalie in his mid/late 30s. It's too much to say that they need to let him be a mascot in uniform all the way through a playoff run this year...

    I dunno man. It's an upgrade on D but Barrie is okay isn't he? And they pay a 1st and a prospect who was almost a first rounder.

    You can see this on Fangraphs, the Roster Resource section

    Isn't that a massive overpay for Ekholm?
  12. Laika
    bla blah blahb mate, he literally has plus stuff on two pitches and gets whiff with them that's not smoke and mirrors
  13. Laika
    command has been so bad historically that I think he's been up and down between their minor leagues, every year. On BR, JPCL is the main NPB "Central League" and JPWL is one of their minor league circuits, the "Western League"
  14. Laika
    honestly why even have Tiedemann pitch in the minors he can probably throw like 130 innings this year just put him on a plan to throw 100 as a SP then finish out the year in the pen
  15. Laika
    Robberse is throwing 93-94, that's decent for him isn't it?

    did you see Koston's slash at the end of the game what a f***ing idiot, lmao blocks 7 shots in a row like a hero then takes the dumbest slashing penalty of the year

    Imagine being Gavin Lux. 25 years old. Former elite prospect who has disappointed, but done enough to be a big league regular. Looking towards his first full season as a starting position player. Probably worked all offseason to increase his bat speed and power. Trips on a grain of dirt in the second spring training game and blows out his knee.
  20. Laika
    Interesting. I wonder if he has tried to reshape it too.
  21. Laika
    Yeah he has always been a FB guy But his best year in relief, 2021, had his highest career FB rate Probably something to do with better FB command allowing him to get more pop ups and weak flyballs on the FB up
  22. Laika
    Tim Mayza is the guy to be worried about in the pen. He's a one trick pony. Sinker: 117.9 STUFF 100.3 LOCATION Slider: 75.3 STUFF 95.8 LOCATION So... decent fastball with nothing else going on, and only average velo and command. f***ING YIKES.
  23. Laika
    That's just not a correct characterization. His changeup grades out well with above average STUFF and LOCATION metrics. His fastball has a really good STUFF grade despite average velocity. His LOCATION numbers on the fastball, however, are poor. So he's a guy with two good pitches and bad command. He has trouble spotting the fastball, and the changeup is just not a strike pitch typically so the good LOCATION number doesn't mean he can necessarily land it in the zone and not get hurt. His breaking ball is bad and he throws it too much... but that's probably because he has to to steal strikes. So, not a smoke and mirrors guy. Just a league average reliever with fringe command. But if he can harness the FB just a little bit he will be very effective. He did that in 2021 and his FB was great.

    This batter tried to call for time for the second time during the at bat The ump still may have messed up. He possibly should have just ignored the player
  25. Laika
    Okay but if baseball games are only 2.5 hours now, they need to serve beer all nine innings
