    Did breaking pitches just get invented lol Good thing pitchers finally realized they should get max movement and deception on their pitches

    Speaking of that, Trevor Bauer situation should be interesting. If he plays this year, from a business perspective, you’d think the LAD will have to make a quick decision on releasing him to avoid the daily circus. I imagine they’ve been talking to teams to see if a trade is an option if he’s allowed to play. So I expect a quick resolution. Or so my thinking goes

    Meh. Much like real life, seeding doesn’t mean a ton. Just hope my non-“out for the year” guys are healthy when it matters

    You trolling me Spanky?
  6. connorp
    Rah rah Spanky. Go visit a nursing home and pump them up

    Yeah if you don’t want to buy them, you need to develop them. But if you can’t develop them, you need to do something

    Aren’t you the one always crying about having money for the Bo/Vlad extensions and you want to keep the underperforming guy that will have a good year before FA and get rid of the one making nothing?

    Yeah I remember seeing them do that even last year. Crazy how much those owners want to win. Their young guys look ok too and then if Wiseman is anything…they are a legit dynasty rn for sure
  13. connorp
    Are they really though?

    Casually following. Strip 76 pitches already, no outs in 4th. Geez

    Following on Gameday and was wondering on the 2-2 pitch why the heck they’re trying to get cute with Biggio and risk loading bases for Springer. Looks like last pitch was straight challenge. Credit to him working the count to that though
  16. connorp
    Yeah I thought that was pretty interesting personally.
  17. connorp
    Glad to see Riley is up but I expect him to run into a wall the first week with my luck and find his way to the IL
  18. connorp
    That’s fair. Usually I’ll let it go. Jimcuck had come along and tossed some gas on it and I bit
  19. connorp
    I can understand the frustration when someone comes along and pokes holes in your logic. I’ll go the way of Jesus and forgive

    I mean we’re saying a pitcher today gives 100% max effort right? Well what if he ends up throwing 130-140 pitches? It’s rare but it happens. So did he not just give 100% max effort on 140 pitches? Lol. So why can’t we assume someone thought that was the norm 30 years ago and did it?
  21. connorp
    One could say the same about drawing your own conclusions from your own opinion
  22. connorp
    I’m not completely trashing it, but you’re just taking leaps in your own mind. Who says someone knowing they were going to be throwing 140 pitches thought they shouldn’t give 100% effort, when they knew nothing of 100 pitches you get pulled. That’s a later evolution of the game. Your assumption they would approach the game different bc of your knowledge of the game today is faulty. As for “babying pitchers”, it’s really just semantics between that and teams wanting to protect their $150m investment. I don’t think anyone believes teams do it solely to pamper a pitcher. However, the argument would be they’re overly cautious in their approach and doctors are known for being overly cautious
  23. connorp
    Can always get dudes talking about the game back then vs the game today. Someone should do it and get some good names to dish us the dirt. Would be cool to see
  24. connorp
    We need some anecdotal evidence. Someone get asking some retired dudes on Twitter. Pretty sure they’re happy to respond to fans asking such things at this point in their lives
  25. connorp
    This is seriously just all hooey balooey that you’re just tossing out there. You have no basis for assuming pitchers gave a lesser effort through games other than it was a weaker offensive environment. But that was THEIR time. Their level of competition. The higher K rates can be ASSUMED in a number of ways. BP usage, result of hr% going up, the increased velocity and pitch breaks making hitting a much more challenging task, increased talent pool.. etc etc etc etc But let’s just go with “they’re using more effort on their pitches than past generations. Then let’s all jump on Laila’s rod because the guy (sorry if that’s not your preferred pronoun) is like God put his ambassador of knowledge on Earth for the benefit of us all LOL
