  1. Nah I still think Chatwood has to be one of their four best active relievers. The tough thing is you have to keep rolling him out there so he can figure it out. Not saying this was the spot though. Clean innings ideal. But I don't know... say you are pulling Strip, who do you bring in instead? Payamps pitches last night and so did Castro. Thornton?
  2. It's disgusting. I don't know what happened with him. He all of a sudden looks like vintage Ryan Doumit trying to frame something
  3. Stripling was having a good game but let's be real here. He has been getting hammered all year and he had already gone through the order multiple times tonight. Objectively you yank him. I think. Just sucks the bullpen is trash
  4. Perhaps, but Stripling has been getting hammered this year and this many times through the order... Any reliever is a better option. Honestly.
  5. I don't really know but honestly, the bullpen is a dumpster fire. Romano is the only good reliever.
  6. It's interesting how a defense only catcher like Reese McGuire can just all of a sudden be bad at, you know, catching.
  7. I don't want to jynx him but has Strip turned the corner for real?
  8. Top 10 prospect MLB wide
  9. I love this stat. 4 ER given up all year and 5 RBI now. Lmao
  10. Uhhhh this is insane. Wow.
  11. I imagine they just use like, a teeny tiny bit of the residue of the stuff on the pressure point of their spin finger(s).
  12. People have been very excited about this guy since the moment Toronto signed him.
  13. My thoughts exactly, last night. The average 12 year old has better routes to balls over their head than Gurriel.
  14. Deadpool, you should know better. Posting the article is fine but the "lunatic" commentary is political and just bait for anyone of a different slant than you.
  15. He's getting worse in the OF, though. The guy has been playing baseball his entire life. Couldn't handle the infield. Getting worse in the OF as time goes on. The worst qualified OF in baseball by OAA. It seems like he just has terrible defensive instincts. I guess he only has like 200 pro games (all leagues/levels) in the OF though. That's not a massive amount of reps. Still, he's a DH when Springer is back.
  16. Mitch Keller is awful lol
  17. WTF, they won yesterday? After the White Sox took a 2-1 lead I turned the game off and watched anime. s***.
  18. The FB velocity seems inconsistent. 60th percentile velocity and spin on the FB. That's fine but more of a 55 grade pitch than even a 60. I wonder if his effective velocity is a bit better because of how big he is (extension, etc.)
  19. It's a stupid opinion. The teams all care about adjusted/relative production, anyway.
  20. It's an antiquated rule. The intent of it was to prevent baseballs from getting ruined by pine tar, literally to save costs so the teams don't have to throw out and buy as many baseballs. This was all stated publicly around the Brett incident.
  21. Current pen: Romano - good but not wholly proven and has had trouble staying healthy Dolis - okay but not good this year, control problems, terrible viewing experience Chatwood - unreliable and not performing recently Castro - waiver claim, pitching fine but replacement level projections Mayza - replacement level or close to it Thornton - replacement level or close to it Payamps - replacement level or worse CEJ - replacement level or worse Beasley - replacement level or worse A complete nightmare. Probably one truly good reliever in the lot, maybe two or three if Dolis and Chatwood can right the ship. Four of the team's five best RP are hurt. Two of them are definitely done for the year. Who knows if Merryweather and Borucki will return and stick. At this rate, Pearson might be in the pen out of necessity in the second half.
