    Arson Judge... he didn't even spell his name right in the tweet ffs.
  2. John_Havok
    Yeah. Looks like he's a 95- 100 wRC+ going forward. He's clearly not as bad as his slump this year, but also clearly not the hitter he was a few years ago. His overall power is just vanishing.

    While true, it's also a general truth that FB goes down year over year on average. I'm not really sure how much but i would guess at least 0.3 MPH per season would be in the right area. Seeing a bump rather than a decrease would be difficult to explain, unless he found some mechanical change that unlocked more, rather than just simply trying to throw harder. Either way, mechanical change or increased effort - with pitchers that definitely increases injury risk over and above the usual pitcher injury risks.

    It's Heyman....I'd say that's a compliment

    In 4 of his last 6 starts, Bowden Francis allowed only 1 hit.
  6. John_Havok
    What a giant s*** the pen just took on Francis
  7. John_Havok
    Lol...unreal
  8. John_Havok
    Screw the season at this point, let's see some history
  9. John_Havok
    Mention who?
  10. John_Havok
    Gotta love baseball superstitions. It's like Francis doesn't even exist in the dugout right now
  11. John_Havok
    Bit of a stretch. Morrow struck out 19 in that start. Francis has 1. f*** it though. Bring it home kid.
  12. John_Havok
    f*** you ump....if that blatant strike 3 had resulted in a hit...
  13. John_Havok
    I mean. He's painting those corners like crazy right now...2 pitches and 2 outs in the 8th
  14. John_Havok
    Wow ... literally sticks his elbow put to get hit and the ump just let's him. Lol
  15. John_Havok
    This should be his last inning, I get that he has a no hitter but it's also clear he's running on fumes.
  16. John_Havok
    Wow, nice catch Schneider. Keep that no-no going
  17. John_Havok
    Francis is clearly gassed...he's been pitching well but damn, throwing 89-90 4 seamers and sinkers. Occasionally hitting 92.
  18. John_Havok
    There's always the White Sox.
  19. John_Havok
    Yes, this is what Ii was attempting to get at with my statement that it's not as valuable, since it's highly variable. Power output is also variable in the sense that a player can't control when a pitcher throws a hanging slider and power output isn't very stable (like 4 HRs in a week, then nothing for 2 weeks... ) but the outcomes are far more impactful when they happen.
  20. John_Havok
    I just think hitting for average is now known to not be overly "valuable" as it's own skillset, unless you're at the upper upper upper tier like Ichiro ... or Gwynn.
  21. John_Havok
    Yes. Making decisions on next year based on small samples would be foolhardy. Even Loperfido's 200 PA isn't all that meaningful yet. All they're really doing is figuring out what these guys have to work on to stay at the MLB level. They already know what they are at AAA. Wagner looks like a left handed Version of Bichette when it comes to his ability to get the bat on pretty much anything. But he seems to have a better eye for swinging in the zone vs out of the zone than Bo does
  22. John_Havok
    Yes. Now check the overall run environment from then to now. Are there more runs per game being scored now? Or fewer?
  23. John_Havok
    There's a lot to like for sure. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/will-wagner-695238?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb But prior to tonight his #s vs lefties are pretty soft overall.
  24. John_Havok
    Biggio to the Braves...his trip around the league continues
  25. John_Havok
    I think Horwitz has shown enough at this point. Wagner...still a bit early. Signs are good though
