    Holy s***... leadoff double scores right away? 1-1 with RISP??? What is this wizadry!?
  2. John_Havok
    f*** yeah Springer, leadoff double! RHB need to be looking on the outer half tonight. pepper that RF wall.
  3. John_Havok
    Anyone want to guess how many times Vlad swings at that slider in the other batters box tonight?
  4. John_Havok
    Legit filth on that changeup. it's really diving. and if guys are waiting in it they get beat by 93... hope he can give some length tonight. Twice through the lineup would be great
  5. John_Havok
    Their lineup vs ours. This ump sucks.
  6. John_Havok
    Well, yes, they could feasibly do that, what Im saying is they cant force him to be in Dunedin over the winter at the complex. If he wants to spend his winters eating cake and ice fishing, nothing they can do. Ditto with Vlad and Kirk, and any other player. PLayers have to agree to be there.

    You're not wrong. But at the end of the day, a team cannot mandate anything unfortunately. The athlete has to want it.

    Belt
  9. John_Havok
    Nah, obviously he was pushing 400, probably 450
  10. John_Havok
    hitting .400 without the # of walks it takes to limit your ABs vs PAs... would be extremely difficult. Unless Arraez has perfected the skill of knowing exactly where every batted ball is going, there's going to be some stretches where he just hits it right at the defense for an extended enoughperiod that .400 becomes unattainable. Need those walks to make his hits count more towards the ol' avridge. To the argument about whether he could win MVP with a .400 average and like 10 HRs with limited other nuumbers ... I dont see it. I definitely see him getting votes.. but it would be like voting Judge for MVP with 62 HRs if he hit .180 instead of .300, played average D, didnt walk a lot and ran the bases badly. The argument there would be ... well yeah he hit a bunch of homers, but what exactly did he do when he wasn't hitting HRs? Not a whole lot. Same argument should be applied to a guy who hits .400 based on a bunch of slappy singles and relatively few extra base hits, walks etc. What are you doing when you're not hitting singles? Hows the baserunning and defense? Not good? Then.. sorry, no MVP. Cool to hit .400 though

    Not sure if mentioned yet, but Kloffenstein has to leave the game the other day when he took a 105 mph comebacker off the forearm/hand area. He had thrown 5.1 innings of no hit ball to that point when he was hit. No word on the severity of it.
  12. John_Havok
    Without a plus slider, he's a pen arm at best with a 4 seamer, sinker and a crappy changeup. absolutely needs a breaking ball to even be in the bigs IMO since his other pitches aren't good enough to stand on their own
  13. John_Havok
    Yeah, saying you’re willing to waive the no trade clause for the right move isn’t the same thing as asking for a trade
  14. John_Havok
    You know darn well Moreno won’t trade him and will lose him for nothing more than a comp pick. That’s just so Moreno.
  15. John_Havok
    Many places have put out “hypothetical” odds…. Dodgers are the favourites at +250, followed by the Mets at +350, Yankees at +450.
  16. John_Havok
    Worst part is that they just won a bullpen game against our ace, going into our bullpen game tomorrow. Not a good look
  17. John_Havok
    White flag is out, guess we’ll just have to win the next 2.
  18. John_Havok
    Another s*** slider…stop throwing that please
  19. John_Havok
    Swanson has a nice dark patch on the front of his hat, countdown to the sticky stuff accusations….
  20. John_Havok
    Here to say, depends what a team gets out of the extra roster spot. Suffice to say it’s really really really valuable to have a guy who pitches like a 1-2 and hits 40-50% above league average as a hitter at the same time.
  21. John_Havok
    Belt's Pa was fine, he doesnt want to swing at the high s***... and missed a great pitcher's pitch strike 3. Vlad's PA was typically brutal, swinging at a slider in the other batters box because he was guessing. Chappy... missed the one pitch he got to hit and swung though a nice sinker. Vlad's was only garbage PA, Belt and Chapman just got beat with good pitches.
  22. John_Havok
    Picking locked
  23. John_Havok
    Bo and Merrifield primed for a big game
  24. John_Havok
    It's too bad the Angels are in the WC race, the trade rumours on Ohtani this year would be incredible. Lets just assume for 1 moment that he's on the block.... what would any team have to give up to get him?? Like, just hand over your top 3 prospects and at least ... 1 ML regular that's above average?
  25. John_Havok
    where the f*** is pendleton with the GDT...
