    I don't care at all I am just putting myself in the shoes of the people who do care. Their reactions are obvious, expected. Like, if you are black and you like football you see a generation of black quarterbacks taking hold for sort of the first time ever and then you see some anonymous guy criticize the best of them for being too "streetball" c'mon lmao

    "Nothing against the guy. I love the kid. But take his first read away and what does he do? He runs, he scrambles and he plays streetball.” I dunno lol streetball part is a bit much

    Yeah shocked to see PK call it quits at 33 but he has been pretty awful for like 4 seasons now. He also has a lot of non-playing interests I think maybe he ends up in broadcasting in a couple of years.

    10 years $375,000,000
  7. Laika
    well he has a good eye and forces hitter's counts also, he has the biggest strikezone in baseball so the heart of his zone is also the biggest lol

    11 WAR MVP season at age 30 right before free agency What does the contract look like? Who gives it to him?
  9. Laika
    Well we need a team that is a) good enough to beat NYY but lame enough to choke against Toronto I can't see Cleveland beating the Yanks
  10. Laika
    well yeah of course i don't even think they get to the Jays though AL#2 plays the winner of AL#3 and AL#6 (likely Cleveland and Seattle) Yanks choke against J-Rod and the M's SPs Toronto beats Tampa, Houston, Seattle, and the Dodgers to win the WS.

    If he runs wild one game Judge could pull off the first 60/20 season in MLB history Truly Bondsian
  12. Laika
    And plus defense including 72 games in CF lmao
  13. Laika
    probably, he's f***ing nuts
  14. Laika
    Rays have a lot of blown saves probably because they play a lot of close games? Also they use relievers a lot. They lead baseball in holds. Like they have the most innings pitched from their pen and it's not even close. They also lead baseball in Shutdowns. And they are second in shutdown minus meltdown differential.

    Romano's transformation is pretty remarkable You'd expect a SP who is 91-93 to be like 93-95 in the pen. So clearly he trained and added significant velocity upside on top of that. And he probably improved the slider by one MAYBE EVEN TWO full scouting grades somehow. It's interesting how his 2019 numbers in both MLB and AAA were s*** in the results department as he learned how to relieve. Had the K rate though. But got destroyed in the majors and AAA in terms of ERA/FIP.

    he was a mediocre SP prospect back then 3. Chicago White Sox (Traded to Rangers) Jordan Romano, RHP (from Blue Jays) – Romano is a 25-year-old righty who spent 2018 at Double-A. He’s a strike-throwing righty with a fastball in the 91-93 range and he has an average slider and changeup, both of which reside in the 80-84 range. His command is advanced enough that both of his secondaries play up a little bit. He likely profiles as a fifth starter or rotation depth, but the Rangers current pitching situation is quite precarious and Romano may just end up sticking around to eat innings with the hope that he sticks as a backend starter or swingman when they’re competitive once again.
  17. Laika
    well yeah Henke and Ward
  18. Laika
    Osuna at his peak was better. Without looking at stats - in my memory he was more dominant.
  19. Laika
    Holy s***

    It’s so annoying. Every time someone “crosses up” the shift these guys are euphoric. But they rarely get happy when defensive alignment causes an out - they don’t even mention it most of the time.
  21. Laika
    The Blue Jays defensive positioning has been sublime this year. Hard to question it at all at this point. There will always be random balls in play that make a shift look stupid
  22. Laika
    Almost all of these are important. Like to tie the game or take the lead. No cheapies He’s also murdering them like he’s 30 years old
  23. Laika
    You can also just look at a proper stat like WAR. Guerrero’s WAR through age 23 is not going to look that impressive
  24. Laika
    Toronto still runs somewhat mediocre payrolls They can and should continue to tick up
  25. Laika
    Definitely not a DH Seems like he might even be able to play short. So 3B likely, corner outfield worst case scenario
