    Louis Varland has a 3.02 xFIP as a Jay, he's fine. Most of it has been random variation or bad luck.

    Bo is kind of having a Derek Jeter season Ostensibly he has been a solid defender. If range statistics didn't exist impressions of him would be so much better. Like today, two heady plays.
  3. Laika
    Actually, Bo for like 6/$140M to the Rockies as their 2B might be his floor. That would make sense for them for baseball and marketing reasons. So, something like that might be what Toronto is told to match

    Wow! Playoff difference maker right there.
  5. Laika
    Yes

    check out what this article on FG from this year says about changeup IVB not sure if he's just wrong if they display it differently https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-more-it-stays-the-same-the-less-it-changeups/ "Changeups, like most other pitches, are designed to sink, so a positive IVB number means more relative drop. That -7.6 inches is relative to induced break for your average right-handed..."
  7. Laika
    caveat being not everywhere uses IVB and IVB means different things in some places! I know on some sources they actually flip it around for changeups, so positive IVB means more drop.
  8. Laika
    Unfortunately there is no standard for pitch movement stuff. You kind of need to learn what each source means with their references.

    Basallo seems more like a catch 2 days a week, then DH/1B the rest kind of player Doubt the Os think his extension pushes Adley out at all
  10. Laika
    Adley Rutschman is a .320/.392/.590 hitter as far as the Toronto Blue Jays are concerned
  11. Laika
    Ugh.
  12. Laika
    Fangraphs predicts they are going TOR Ryan Gusto (R) TOR Janson Junk (R) TOR Eury Pérez (R)

    I feel like Yesavage is going to end up like the Kodai Senga experience A lot of "effectively wild" and perhaps a K-BB rate that isn't traditionally amazing, or that does not translate traditionally from MiLB to MLB Senga's basket of pitches is similar in that it's all arm side run. At least, all of his good pitches that he uses a lot are arm side run. His cutter is like a bullet cutter with a tiny bit or arm side movement.
  14. Laika
    Haven't watched the video but Yesavage's "weirdness" might be a plus
  15. Laika
    It's a nightmare batted ball profile for his power lol
  16. Laika
    Toronto really had/has some very interesting bats in AAA. Will Robertson had elite EV90 numbers, Roman Anthony level. Pinango very good. Rainer Nunez is #1 in MaxEV in AAA and has the same EV90 is Pinango

    Dodgers are low key on the struggle bus this year. Could lose the division and could still technically miss the playoffs!
  18. Laika
    Crochet is close to Skubal. Collins vs Baldwin is interesting. Baldwin is more of a starting catcher. Collins is more of a platoon guy and probably gets more favourable matchups? I still think Judge wins it unless the numbers notably change.

    Nick Kurtz gets a full year of service time I guess. Exact same scenario as Paul Skenes? Although slightly different. I don't recall anybody in spring training seriously calling for Kurtz to make the A's.
  20. Laika
    So Milwaukee was able to make his swing faster and shorter, instantly. Interesting.
  21. Laika
    I don't really know what they CHANGED for process but it looks like he is going oppo less, and making better swing decisions, and spinning or aiming his flyballs better since the HR/FB is up so drastically. All of a sudden murdering 4 seamers and sliders. Probably just got him on a properly tuned Trajekt machine or something, lol. And told him to not go to RF so freaking much.
  22. Laika
  23. Laika
    yeah use Fangraphs game logs, pick dates, pick statcast
  24. Laika
    I think he's likely just a bust. Always had a fringe contact / batted ball profile and his bull case projections were like, Jake Burger. Maybe some of his moderate MiLB success was built on steroids.

    Season is over.
