    One can hope. right now he's basically a left handed Myles Straw-lite, if that's even possible.

    Parker 3-4 with 2 doubles in last night's game. OPS in High A up to .952... SSS still at High A but ya can't hate that he hasn't slowed down at all. Should be due for his 1st High A HR in the next game or so.

    Not gonna lie, that's a stupid real name let alone nickname. Do better.

    Arguable. Lots of meatballs being served up

    How they would unlock any real power from this guy is anyone's guess.

    So, Cellucci is next up on the "who cares if he sucks, he's a warm body and will eat non-competitive innings until we have to DFA him" list

    Scherzer doesn't get rattled. He just sucks.
  8. John_Havok
    He just did all the way to 1st.

    i drove through there a few years ago in spring training. Nightmare doesn't even begin to describe it and I was doing it at 11am on a boring Wednesday, not before or after a ball game. It's truly horrendous.

    Looks like he's switched up to the new "in thing" with pitchers in featuring the 3 fastballs (4seam, sinker, cutter) at relatively the same rate with 1 breaker and an offspeed to for good measure. Feels like he may be getting just a weeeee bit fortunate based on his savant page, but... hey cant begrudge a guy for evolving and making his way back to the bigs.

    Did the White Sox do it though? Or did Japan?
  12. John_Havok
    Kinda have to you'd think, even though Keys can't hit breaking balls to save his life. 75% whiff rate on curve balls in his looks so far. Running Springer out there when he's hurt won't be any better.

    Aside from Cowser all the "good" players were 15 and later.
  14. John_Havok
    agreed. 3-3 would be an excellent outcome given the teams being played on the trip. Winning the series in Yankee stadium would just be a nice FU to them too.

    It makes some sense that the NL is stronger over the past few years with the Dodgers doing what they're doing. Kinda forces other NL teams to improve themselves to try and keep pace and over the course of 3 or 4 years, the margins start to increase across the board ... unless you're Colorado.

    Flu, Rogers and Varland are probably in the "break glass" category. At least there's an off day tomorrow

    Lukes got the chance in his next PA against a lefty and what happened? Lierally a swinging bunt up the 1st base line. The bunt call in this situation was fine given the circumstances and the personel available. Yes. They bunt too much overall.
  18. John_Havok
    Yeah, i get it, the competetive fire is still there. But, there comes a time when the mind is willing but the body is weak. From the outside looking in, it appears that time is either here already, or very near. Time is undefeated. I just don't see Scherzer getting a starting gig next season, especially if next season is 2028.
  19. John_Havok
    okay, but even if you don't trust numbers, seeing them both jump from crap to average by the numbers with better location... is objectively a good thing.
  20. John_Havok
    just for reference:
  21. John_Havok
    the increase in his changeup usage has been very beneficial for him. Even though it sits 93 vs his 98 mph fastball it's still a massive whiff generator for him. His Stuff+ and Loc+ numbers are up pretty much across the board from 2025 to 2026 (S+ up to 115 from 109 overall, Loc+ up to 106 from 101) FA S+ up to 118 from 109, Loc+ up to 106 from 100 SL S+ up to 98 from 89, Loc+ up to 121 from 104 CH S+ up to 99 from 84, Loc+ up to 115 from 100 KC up to 126 from 118, Loc+ basically a push at 101 from 102. Didn't mention the sinker since he's like 3% throw rate. Basically he made a top shelf fastball and disgusting knuckle curve better, and brought two well below average stuff pitches with good location up to average stuff with great location. Hitters now have to respect 3 offspeed and breaking balls when trying to catch up to 99-100.

    Lukes with a swinging bunt! this time the run scored lol
  23. John_Havok
