    Stick a fork in him. He's cooked.

    Jake Casey was NWL player of the week after hitting .391 (9-23) with 3 doubles, 4 HR, 13 RBI and 2 steals with an OPS of 1.488 in 6 games.

    Trading Skubal was one thing but the Riley Greene injury has pretty much killed them
  4. John_Havok
    Rough night unless some comebacks happen. Texas, Cleveland, Seattle and Minnesota all winning
  5. John_Havok
    what's the babip running in that cold/true talent stretch?
  6. John_Havok
    Do GM firings really wake up a team though? The manager ... sure, players spend every day with the guy but the GM? I doubt the players really care one way or the other.
  7. John_Havok
    And Seattle once, Can't lose that either. Realistically they have to see it like they can't lose any series the rest of the way unless they toss a sweep or two in there.

    This most interesting part about this... yesterday Brown was interviewed somewhere and said straight up how great it was working for Crane and how he felt like it was a great place for him. Next day? Hit the bricks champ. He was a lame duck GM anyways but ... the timing of the firing is just dumb. There's no trades left, all the GM duties there are now till the end of the season is deciding on any applicable DFAs, callups etc and hopefully nailing down a post-season roster. Just wait till the season is over and his contract is up and announce you're not renewing it. Now Crane himself is taking over baseball ops till a new GM is found, there's not even an interim GM. Espada is probably just waiting for the axe to fall too since his contract is up at the end of the season.

    Field of Dreams park isn't even equipped with walls. Who cares about ABS for 1 game?

    Blame Mr. Rogers. There no way Atkins would have been the driver on this deal
  11. John_Havok
    Yeah, doesnt seem like a great idea on paper
  12. John_Havok
    Also, I know he's likely a nothing burger, but Peyton "The Iowa Meat Truck" Williams is up to AAA. Dude is a walking land mass. His 1st AAA HR about a week ago went 430 with an EV of 108.1 When he makes contact, balls get crushed. Contact is kinda the problem though...
  13. John_Havok
    9 pitch inning for Rodon. Yikes.
  14. John_Havok
    Well, Bateman sure didn't pick up the slider. That was awful.

    Jays kinda control their own destiny at this point ( i hate that saying..) But the majority of their remaining schedule is against teams directly still in the hunt for that last WC spot. Cle x 3, Seattle x 3, Texas x3, Baltimore x 6 and Detroit x 3. the only dumpster team is Ath x 3 . Reds x 3 to close out the season and while they're a 5th place team in their division, they have only 2 fewer wins than the Jays as they stand today so ... not a pushover. The Royals are an X factor team, they've won 7 straight and the Jays get them for 2 of their next 4 series. Absolutely cannot let them be that sneaky bad team that catches you by surprise. Basically, the entire rest of the schedule is against teams with similar records as the Jays so they need to separate themselves.
  16. John_Havok
    Yeah I wonder why they don't include swing speed in the minor league statcast search when virtually everything else is there. Highest EV is 105.6 1 tracked batted ball in May over 100mph 2 tracked batted balls in June over 100mph 5 in July so far 4 in August.
  17. John_Havok
    Yes. What cant happen is multiple teams at the top of the West or Central catching fire at the same time. That would be the end of the Jays WC hopes. Ideally, The White Sox win just enough to keep the Central while Cleveland and Minnesota play .500ish or worse the rest of the way. The West? Just hope one of Houston or Texas keeps sucking and Seattle's offense stays asleep
  18. John_Havok
    He hasn't given up an ER over his 4 starts in August. 13.2 IP, 16 K, 8 BB(still bad) but only 6 hits given up too. The fact he's healthy and throwing consistently is the real win. dude basically lost his first 3+ seasons to injury after being drafted. absolute GB machine too, 70% GB rate
  19. John_Havok
    For sure. Word is he's already an elite defender in CF, runs faster than a thoroughbred and can make good contact but yeah, needs reps to make those tools turn into skills, and then results. Might end up being nothing, but they have to start somewhere. seeing the improved numbers month over month is nothing but a positive sign.
  20. John_Havok
    20 year old Troy Guthrie has strung 3 good starts in a row now after getting beat up a bit in his 1st 4 after going up to Vancouver. last 3 starts: 15IP, 15K, 11 hits, 5 BB, 3ER
  21. John_Havok
    OPS by month for Cook: May: .607 June: .670 July: .823 August so far: .890 in his last 7 games he has 12 hits, 3 of them HRs , also adding 2 doubles and a triple. Not bad for a guy who only had all of 280 PAs in college ball since switching from being a pitcher. the normal age/level curve doesn't matter as much here.
  22. John_Havok
    Twins lose. Now just need Cleveland to f*** off for a few games.
  23. John_Havok
    So that pitch was the last Straw? ..... ................. I'll show myself out.
  24. John_Havok
    Orioles and Seattle came back to win, but Texas, Houston, and detroit lost. Nance is giving us hope in san Dieago as theyve pulled ahead by 2 over the twins
  25. John_Havok
    WIll be interesting to check out his + scores after the game. Just gameday scouting but 93-95 with 4 seam and sinker, slider 87-89 (though a few are registering at 82), 85-87 change and a low 80s curve. Decent set of pitches and easy to see why he dominated AA with an assortment like that even with below average command according to Fangraphs anyways.
