    Not primed
  2. Laika
    Ask us in like 10 months. He might be droppable
  3. Laika
    Yesssssss the team formerly known as the Indians just opened up a big lead The orange birds are also threatening against Boston and have had runners on all day
  4. Laika
    yeah it could be as simple as a lot of these guys relied on sticky stuff for their pinpoint command of certain pitches, or that little bit of extra movement/finish that is hard to quantify by basic stuff like spin rate
  5. Laika
    Not sure it's fair to say he has never been interested. a) there is a language barrier he has never needed help until right now As jimbo says a good number of these command guys are getting blown up right now vs their career numbers or projections. Ryu, Kyle Hendricks, Keuchel... Zach Davies. Yarbrough.

    Spin decline? I haven't seen anybody actually look into it

  8. Laika
    no he's not lol
  9. Laika
    He has ways been that. What's different now
  10. Laika
    What is wrong with Ryu anyway? What does the analysis show?

    Hot, sexy Grichuk. Just watch his buns roll down the line after he grounds out weakly.
  12. Laika
    Grichuk is hitless since Monday. Relax plebs.

    I'd give him a lifetime contract in a second if Vladdy would sign ANY EXTENSION One year of Vlad and Bo would be worth decades of Charlie Charlie is growing on me rapidly. He's like a tumor with a nice ugly smile.

    I didn't realize how s***** Ohtani has been with the stick recently Ohtani has hit only .191/.331/.376 with seven home runs over his last 172 PA VLAD VLAD VLAD VLAD VLAD VLAD MVP MOST VLAD PLAYER MOST VLADUABLE PLAYER M VLAD P

    Kevin Cash pulling Rasmussen is incredibly simple: third time through the order in a close game against a very good offense. The Rays live by a code and we should all respect that. Every man needs a code.
  16. Laika
    There are lots of good developmental examples and you have to gave Charlie some credit. Kirk has been good from the start at a young age, and despite lots of outside criticism about his body. Manoah has been good from the start. Ray and Matz are comfortable and exceeding expectations. The culture in the dugout is fantastic. The players have fun, most of them are doing very well. You can go on and on.

    Longoria could reach that 60 WAR threshold with a productive late 30s but I still don't think there is much chance he'll get in. - won't hit even 400 homers - will have an AVG in the .260s He needs to pump out two more VERY GOOD years and then hope Scott Rolen gets in so he can follow that path The Rolen half of that is looking fine but the Longoria production part is not likely

    yaaaaaaaaa

    Ray is going to lead in IP and he has a good shot at leading in ERA (if Lance Lynn doesn't qualify). Narrative could be on Ray's side too if Toronto makes it in - he has carried his team more than the other candidates have. And his FIP / fWAR lagging looks to be a bit unfair or not indicative of skill. Hard to bet on the voters not leaning for Cole because of, you know, New York and wins. Could end up decided by who misses the playoffs. Not sure Eovaldi is really that close because he's not going to end up leading any of Wins, K's, ERA, or IP. Lynn will be short on IP but has been excellent. Ray is actually way ahead in RA9-WAR and bWAR. He's got it!
  20. Laika
    Hey, why the f*** didn't Cole Sulser close the game yesterday anyway?
  21. Laika
    I don't think Machado is a safe bet. In fact, I wonder if he's not even a coin flip to make it. He has 39.7 WAR right now and is going to end up with a ~3.9 WAR season. He needs to repeat his 2021 five or six times to get over the basic 60 WAR threshold. Or he needs to adapt/improve and have some more big big years. Or play like an average player until he is like 39. All of those are possible, sure. I mean, it's relative. Machado is a safer bet than almost every other player to compare him to so in that sense he is a safe bet. But baseball is full of guys who were fantastic in their 20s but aged hard/normally in their 30s and never accumulated enough production to be Hall of Famers. Take the guy who just retired - Ryan Braun sure looked like a great HoF bet at 28 years old. I think Bryce has a better shot than Manny. I just think Bryce is better. If Manny needs to repeat his 2021 five or six times to get in, Bryce only needs to repeat his 2021 three times.

    lmao Salvador Perez of all people is going to steal the HR crown from Vladdy isn't he
  23. Laika
    I would imagine the plan is something like: - They run a sort of platoon in CF but not exactly a true platoon where Dickerson plays against every RHP. Dickerson would play against some RHP, Grichuk might still play half the time or more, and Dyson would replace both defensively. - They pray to Jesus that Springer can man CF at some point after a few more cortisone shots. If they wanted Cavan to come up and cover CF at all I would imagine that he'd be getting reps in CF in AAA. Plan D if there are injuries would probably be Palacios or Mallex Smith?
  24. Laika
    Surely a couple of randoms from the main board would participate? Email league members to see if their brothers or uncles or wives or pastors or pastor's wives want a team
  25. Laika
    Machado is just so naturally good that I could see him transforming into a bit of a slugger in his 30s. I'm imagining a guy who stops having any real defensive value but starts hitting 40+ homers.
