    Another confusing result for Vlad to watch. Still cannot believe guys are up there pulling fastballs for power. Lazy ground balls to the 2b is how you show the pitcher you can go the other way
  2. John_Havok
    Vlad can't believe that HR from Kieboom. Pulling an inner half fastball at 93? Shoulda inside-outed it for a cheap single to right. These kids just don't get it
  3. John_Havok
    Yeah he did a few slide steps last night to help keep guys guessing a bit but the majority were still full leg kicks deliveries. When a guy like Abrams gets one of those to run on he's not getting gunned by anyone.

    Gausmans plate delivery time can be measured with a sundial. They weren't stealing on Jansen

    And preceded by a month on ice.

    Putting someone there when they have little other choice is not the same as thinking he's a capable major league 3b
  7. John_Havok
    Sprint speed is only calculated on plays where they run hard, and it's only the fastest part of that run so sprint speed metrics do not vary all that much after a few qualified runs

    Schneider with a perfect day. Thanks and see you next week for your next 4 PA

    They aren’t in the PCL sir.

    The trouble with making him a pen arm…if he’s already in the game as a DH or even a RF or 1B, how does he start to stretch and get loose before coming out to the mound for the normal time-constrained warm up pitches? He’d be nearly 100% limited to DH and have to go from the bench out to the bullpen to start warming up and hope he didn’t have to hit that inning.

    Historically…Aaron Judge gets a ton of bad calls against him below the knees
  12. John_Havok
    It’s a medical retirement so he can retire and still get paid in full.

    The Jays inability to hit s***** pitching is alarming.
  14. John_Havok
    Roden is a decent bat to ball guy but take his power numbers in New Hampshire with a grain of salt. the RF porch is only 306 away. The true game power still has a ways to go.
  15. John_Havok
    I'm hearing LGJr and Teoscar Hernandez will be available.
  16. John_Havok
    Sure, he's getting better results with less movement, more velo. It works for him. It's weird to look at his curveball movement #'s... it looks pretty similar movement-wise to what his slider was doing a few seasons ago.
  17. John_Havok
    It's hard to argue with the results but his slider is actually the worst one of his career so far. Its horizontal and vertical movement on it are both worse than ever in his career and IMO he throws it too hard. Backing it off 2-ish mph would probably be beneficial.

    Usually have to pay extra for that Cotton

    Not sure if anyone has listened to any Baltimore TV or Radio highlights, but man alive are they straight up fellating the team at every opportunity. It's way past anything I've heard before from any team's broadcasters. They might as well be cheerleaders.
  20. John_Havok
    Every single game yes. He called bunts
  21. John_Havok
    From what i've read about him he earns incredible reviews for his defense... arm, framing, calling... the whole deal. Maybe they want to challenge him that way instead of offensively? Seems weird to me
  22. John_Havok
    This does nothing but confirm the legendary status of Spanky. When a guy creates a burner account just to flame you, you know you've made it.
  23. John_Havok
    Vlad's problem is not that he doesn't have a consistent game plan, his game plan if very consistent. The problem is his consistent game plan is f***ing stupid.
  24. John_Havok
    Baltimore has a track record of spending so poorly it's almost understandable. By the end of their most recent spending sprees from 2012(81 million) to 2018 (142 million) they were even top 10 in a league in spending at one point. records during those years??? 93 wins, 85 wins, 96 wins, 81, 89, 75 and 47. you read that right, by 2018 the Orioles paid 140+ million dollars for a 47 win team. Won a WC game, lost in the DS, won the DS, lost the CS and lost a WC game over those 7 seasons. The more the O's spent, the worse they got. 2019 payroll? - 61 million, 28th in the league.

    What a joke. owners like him should be ashamed. I'm not saying everyone has to be like Cohen either but FFS crying poor like this is such a ******** line. Orioles were 4th in baseball in profits last season according to Forbes. "In between the Mariners(1st - 83.8 million) and Athletics (5th - 62.2 million) as the teams with the highest profits in the league were the Giants ($74.9 million), Red Sox ($71.6 million) and Baltimore Orioles ($64.7 million). That's right kids, the blueprint in MLB right now is to be terrible, take money in profit sharing from other teams, get awarded a load of small market comp picks, don't try to retain any talent you accidentally come across using that system while crying poor, even though you're pocketing 10's of millions of dollars in the process. Even spending HALF of those profits to support payroll could make a huge difference.
