    Either way it’s a good idea lol
  2. John_Havok
    Absolutely. He’s easily earned it. Just don’t hit him higher than 7th…
  3. John_Havok
    Mayza near f***ed that up by stabbing at that ground ball up the middle, one minor deflection….
  4. John_Havok
    Bad risk there…just let Biggio hit
  5. John_Havok
    The hitting coach needs to go, not even because he’s doing a s*** job, just because something needs to happen to wake the offense up. They just seem like they have no idea what a pitcher is going to do to them and have no ability to adjust
  6. John_Havok
    Berrios for GG. That was nice
  7. John_Havok
    He would have to be Ozzie Smith with the glove to be a starter honestly. His walk rate is already cut down to normal since moving up each season after that redonklus 21% walk rate in low A ball a few years ago. He's actually eerily similar to Espinal's AA numbers from a few years back.
  8. John_Havok
    Jimenez is basically the next Espinal, with even less power. Might get on base a bit more but... bench guy for sure if he makes it.

    No love for Davis Schneider? The 5'9' phenom?
  11. John_Havok
    I think i figured out Vlad's mental problems. He, for some reason, hates having strikes called against him. He will swing at anything close just to avoid the possibility of a called strike.
  12. John_Havok
    Vladdy double play incoming on the first pitch?
  13. John_Havok
    In no way does Vlad deserve to be an all star this year.
  14. John_Havok
    Yeah, the first throw over was ismply because he was about to run out of time on the clock, but the 2nd one... dumb. He shouldnt have been on base to begin with, he looked beyond stupid on 2 stright curve balls, then they throw him a fastball. Just keep throwing him the s*** he clearly cant hit
  15. John_Havok
    Mateo SB incoming Just pitch out here. 0-2 count... not like Bassitt walks a ton of guys
  16. John_Havok
    Why would you not just throw another curve...
  17. John_Havok
    I can't laugh hard enough at the Orioles completely ******** maneuver with this park, when they have nearly all their young guys hitting left handed or switch. It's like... can you be more obvious as to your motives?
  18. John_Havok
    Bassitt is leaving seom crushable pitches in the zone so far... im not encouraged.
  19. John_Havok
    Unless of course he expands the strike zone to include 8 inches up ... just some bad swings there. Got the one he wanted first pitch and just missed it.

    Atkins gamed the system there by sending Francis down for Hatch to have a fresh arm, then recalling Francis knowing Cimber would be on paternity leave.

    THing is, this is about where you'd expect Varsho to be given his skillset, sure maybe a slight disappointment in overall hitting, but the D and baserunning is as good as advertised. Vlad is such a massive disappointment that it's ridiculous. He had a lightbulb moment in the 2020 offseason and came into 2021 slimmer, better and focused, then decided no more effort was needed after his MPV caliber season. He's been coasting since then. The fact that Vlad's ISO is .169 is so far past terrible I don;t think there's an English word to describe it. He should be a right handed Freddy Freeman, instead he's a right handed Josh Naylor.
  23. John_Havok
    Yeah, it's frustrating for sure to be where the team is right now, especially when you can see guys like Vlad who should be a perennial MVP candidate with 6+ fWAR, and he's hitting like an average 1B maybe putting up 2.5, Manoah falling off a cliff... hell, just those 2 things alone has probably cost the Jays in the neighborhood of 5 wins in the first 70 games.
  24. John_Havok
    I think the over arching point is that focusing on X number of wins to say that a team is good or not is not truly focusing on the right details. Yes, wins are needed to get into the playoffs, so in that sense sure, they need to focus on at least building a team that can win as many games as needed to get in. But to say they need to be at least a 100 win team to be a WS contender... doesnt matter. A 95 win team in the AL East is likely a better team than a 95 win team coming out of the Central in either League (like that would happen anyway...). Especially in the playoffs where truly only your best 3 starters really matter, and you cant sub guys out and send them down and call someone else up multiple times a year like many teams do in the regular season to ensure maximum advantage in the bullpen or batting order. Just get in. Being a 110 win team vs a 100 win team vs a 95 win team really doesnt matter a whole lot in the playoffs. All that is for is ticket sales and public image.

    Dude's a lawyer, straw man building is their only function.
