  1. Now that he's gone go look up Nick Frassos basketball highlight reels
  2. I saw a limby guy who didn't have consistent mechanics or amazing command but could throw a fastball up which minor leaguers couldn't touch I don't think he's been tested but might be a bit of a one trick pony that won't live higher up, as a starter
  3. Not a big fan of this one but I don't think Samad and Max are consequential losses, really.
  4. Watch him pitch. He honestly doesn't look like a starter
  5. Mitch White is only like Stripling because he's a Dodgers depth SP. White actually has stuff
  6. DeGrom back tonight all eyes on him
  7. This is dumb They are in Miami, Toronto is in Tampa Bay Rent a car, you can be there in a few hours and get a normal night sleep?
  8. Sir the Angels can f*** up anything
  9. Some teams might see Iglesias as having negative value on that contract Meaning Angels need to accept nearly worthless prospect and eat some money
  10. he goes to the apple store to socialize more than anything
  11. selling low on a toolsy 24 year old guy with full control left who is presently useful seems smart
  12. but why what is happening why ruf
  13. why would the Angels even trade Marsh?
  14. BIG OOF that sucks for Voit
  15. lmao he sucks the Phillies are horrible
  16. 2.5 hours left
  17. Personally, I do not.
  18. So I guess Bass has a truly elite SL now Look how bad the Mets look against it All of these are in the dirt https://www.mlb.com/video/anthony-bass-strikes-out-the-side?q=Anthony%20Bass&cp=CMS_FIRST&qt=FREETEXT&p=0
  19. statcast - his fastball velocity is 89th percentile fangraphs - go to "pitch type" to see velocities and frequencies pitcherlist eno sarris is a good twitter follow
  20. This is the first time they've made a trade and I have looked at their farm system and thought the trade really drained it. It's like they built an all time farm system and then spent the last few years dealing from it. But it's over now. They don't have much left. Campusano? Maybe they have a bunch of up and comers, I dunno.
  21. Hey sweetie, it's Ross...
  22. Ross DOES IT AGAIN WOW chad chad chad
  23. No I mean they do so much stupid s*** that I question their ability to construct a winning and anti-fragile MLB roster, or a long-term competitor I would not be shocked if the Padres in a few years suck and have a bunch of expensive veterans clogging the roster, with a s***** farm.
  24. Nice See, Pop has de-emphasized his slider (16%) from his arsenal, and for good reason – he simply has no feel for the pitch right now. Overall, in a very small sample size, the results (6.7% whiff, .578 xwOBA) aren’t promising, and he’s leaving it over the plate (56.4% whiff) far too much. Now, this wasn’t particularly a problem last year, but, even then, he hasn’t gotten hitters to expand the zone against it as you’d hope for, which ought to beg the question; can a new slider be added to expand his arsenal. Well, good thing we know one pitch that would work perfectly with a sinker. Yep, I’m talking about the good ol’ sweeper. If you have a sinker running into righties and a sweeper running away, all coming from the same grip, that is FAR too much deception for an opposing hitter to deal with. Wait, aren’t we describing Clay Holmes? I’m not saying that’s the most likely outcome for Pop, but with the proper tweaks, a high-end reliever outcome certainly should not be discounted at all. He may not pop at first, but Zach certainly ought to garner your attention moving forward. As they say, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes!
