  1. Vlad's lineout last night was probably his best swing since April He's back
  2. Basically, we just need two of Spaghetti, Taillon, and Scherzer to pitch like Aces from here on The off days in September don't seem to give much opportunity to skip them many times, just given how they line up now Nolan Perry isn't doing well enough in AA to look like a savior Stanifer and Guerra would just be bullpen additions Luis Robert Jr. is an expensive upgrade on Daz Cameron but maybe worth a shot
  3. Also Fluharty has huge nuts and rises the occasion against the best players on other teams
  4. Yes his stuff is a huge let down No clue how he pulled off those numbers in AA but they made people think he was going to be an Ace of Aces. I fear he'll just be a command forward SP2 or so. Oh well
  5. Springer suddenly has okay numbers It's too bad DH is already clogged for 2027 with the bum Santander
  6. So close to being so close
  7. Lovely game Nathan Lukes can golf an offspeed pitch as good as anybody
  8. Spencer Schwellenbach elbow surgery Someone tell me why he is having this now and not FOURTEEN MONTHS AGO when he broke his elbow? Dude is going to go almost 3 years between games
  9. It's so bad that I daydream about ways to get out of the contract Hopefully he gets caught betting on games or something
  10. Hire that anti-aging guy to work with him in perpetuity. Brian Johnson? And hire the entire Driveline Business - acquire it and black box it. All for Vlad though.
  11. He's doing only one thing right against fastballs and that's slapping them in play for base hits That is the only thing his swing can mechanically do right now .118 ISO on fastballs... in his good years that's more like .200 He is whiffing on fastballs less than ever, but hitting them softer than ever, which is interesting but sad. Just seems like a guy who is broken and lost and had his testosterone evaporate in the offseason and all he is trying to do is make contact
  12. LOCKING this thread unless they climb back to a 2 GB gap
  13. Looking across Lake America and telling your son about how a guy named Vlad ruined the baseball franchise that used to exist in the Unincorporated Township of Canada is amazing theorycrafting
  14. I think Vlad's is the worst ever. Highest expectations and lowest lows. Biggest actual underperformance. And the most problematic context, coming off the World Series and his contract. Just FRANCHISE RUINING. A FRANCHISE RUINING PLAYER.
  15. Vernon 2007 will be the closest thing to Vlad. Just pure suckage. They are also comparable in terms of talent and star level - their WAR highs and lows are similar. Hinske 2003 was hugely disappointing Bo's 2024 is right there Alex Rios in 2009 lmao You almost want to compare it to the big pitcher losses for injuries, like Johnson, Halladay, Stroman, BJ Ryan, but those you can just write off in a few days and you don't get mad at the player because it's not their fault. It's that magnitude of sudden loss but you hate the player so much more for it. I am sure there were a bunch of huge disappointments on the 1994 and 1995 Blue Jays but I don't know. Fans were not as savvy. They probably still likes Joe Carter because .250 with 25 homers was still "solid production."
  16. Compare to this https://www.mlb.com/video/noah-cameron-in-play-run-s-to-junior-caminero-3hdfp9?q=noah cameron home run&cp=MIXED&qt=FREETEXT&p=0
  17. https://www.mlb.com/video/noah-cameron-in-play-out-s-to-vladimir-guerrero-jr-pkd6je?q=gamePk = 822771 AND Inning = [6] Order By Timestamp ASC&p=2&pt=Pitch by Pitch - 6th Inning look at the swing this f***ing broken ass idiot puts on this mid-high fastball
  18. I have read that Parker is not a real catcher and sort of has no position
  19. Arighetti is here to be an OPTIONABLE STARTER IN 2027 and that's it. Was never going to be a 2026 help.
