  1. He's a hacker, not a walker. Have you seen his career / 2020 K and BB rates?
  2. Reds are the ultimate dark horse and I would love to see Joey Votto and Trevor Bauer win... but I am hesitant to go all-in mentally because I think their pitching is overrated based on results and their opponents this year. Central pitchers were very lucky - lots of s***** offenses.
  3. Uh they kind of needed a hero. Late and down multiple runs.
  4. It missed the strike zone by like one inch. Move it a hair in one direction, or take a bit of spin or velocity off of it, and Teoscar might put that pitch in the seats. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?game_pk=635913&game_date=&type=pitch3d&chart_view=pitch&chart_type=call_name&inning=&count=&batter_hand=&pitcher_hand=&filter=&player=home-pitchers_664126&view=Umpire&coloring=Pitch%20Type
  5. If he swung at it 3-0 then clearly he identified it out of the hand as the type of pitch he was looking for. It was a nasty 98 mph FB with rise, just a hair above the zone. The pitch is practically designed in a lab to deceive a hitter into thinking they can crush it until it is juuuust too late to stop the swing. Hitters making pitch identification mistakes are like, the most common think in baseball. It's the entire game, really. If everyone could judge a pitch correctly out of the hand and make decisions accordingly there would be no sport. Taking the basic 3-2 slider down the middle was what was actually a mental fart by Teoscar. Swinging at the 3-0 pitch was a justifiable decision with an understandably unfortunate result.
  6. Ah yes. The baseball player swung at a ball. Inexcusable, really. Players should only be allowed to do things if they will succeed.
  7. No. It was a very justifiable decision. The execution was poor. Or he just missed the pitch. I mean, it was a ball but IIRC it was still hittable.
  8. It's almost like hitting is hard and sometimes a player thinks something is a good pitch when it isn't?
  9. I've reversed a bunch of recent red flag adds and reduced the max IL size to 5.
  10. They needed a big dinger to tie. MLB hitters hit like .400+ on 3-0 counts and slug a million. It's the most likely count to get a meatball.
  11. Wow, this is the ultimate goal post move. You said players should not swing 3-0. Now you are saying players should not swing at balls.
  12. No, lmfao. The best thing was that they were very good. That arrogant stuff gets old pretty fast when the team is bad or mediocre.
  13. I just don't have the time to notice when it happens and it looks like nobody else is really willing to be a sheriff. This is why I think we need a limited IL.
  14. With this Toronto staff the "first sign of trouble" is typically a gigantic 2 run dinger
  15. smh at these complaints about the pitching decisions the Shoemaker+Ray tandem was excellent. Cole f***ed up buuuuuuut unless the offense wants to wake up and score a couple of runs it's irrelevant
  16. The Rays’ defense is insane. Demoralizing
  17. This is my favourite post ever
  18. And he can get on base for Kirk. It does "lengthen" the lineup. It's not a big deal. Really just would prefer him and Grichuk flipped. Also Villar should hit 9th.
  19. Teoscar 6th seems questionable. Best performing hitter for a while. Third best projected hitter by Depth Charts.
  20. Okay, I have an appointment to step into so I had to close the league and lock everything down. Good luck, dum dums.
  21. Doesn't look like we will get there but it should be fun even without the gift card. The banning prize is worth more than a small gift card anyway. Still ten more minutes or so for new teams!
  22. Absolutely. The winner of this gets to direct a 48 hour ban for anyone they want other than admin or mods, for any reason or none, in their discretion.
  23. I am planning on turning off transactions before 2:00 PM ET so you need to make final decisions by then!
  24. Wow, they put McClanahan on the roster?
  25. Bump again. Only a couple of hours. We may not get to 25 entrants in the short notice but we will still run the league regardless. Remember, there will* be prizes! *there will likely not be prizes
