    Great PA from Belt. Wait this guy out and you will get on base, or something in the wheelhouse to hit

    Can we get an over/under on the number of ground balls Vlad hits tonight? 1 for 1 so far and it gets through for an RBI
  3. John_Havok
    Houser is the kind of guy you can hit and run on more often. He doesnt whiff many guys, lots of contact will be on the ground.

    Gopher ball-itis. Every mistake is over the wall.

    Hangy and bangy the slider....oops
  6. John_Havok
    Fastball command pretty shaky

    Hope we get the good version of Kikuchi tonight, he's been a bit off lately.

    More like mocking. Can't wait for them to complain about me mocking them.

    I think he loves signing guys with less than 2 years service time to ridiculously team friendly deals even more.

    It's largely driven by the lease. Jays made some pretty large upgrades years ago to the sound, scoreboards and the big jumbotron, and are just now upgrading all those other things like the social spaces, retail spaces etc. The fact that other parks are doing it makes it required. " the Brewers lease requires the stadium district to pay for improvements present in at least 75% of all other Major League Baseball stadiums. The lease also says the district must replace or repair infrastructure items consistent with the replacement items of the top 25% of all MLB parks."

    If we don't it would clearly be the result of systemic issues within the organization and everyone should be fired, from the ushers all the way up to Shapiro, and Rogers should be forced to sell the team.

    Miller's 20 year naming rights agreement expired in 2021. American Family Insurance signed a 15 year agreement when it did. As for the renovations, Manfred doesn't want the park to be functionally irrelevant when the lease expires in 2030. It's not really a "do it or the team will move in 2030" kind of ultimatum, be doesn't want another Oakland situation where the stadium is in such a state that people don't want to come to the park. here's a link to explain some of the renovations: https://www.jsonline.com/story/money/real-estate/commercial/2023/02/16/american-family-fields-448-million-renovation-costs-broken-down/69907300007/

    Looks then Like Ryu is slightly ahead of Green in his comeback. maybe a week or so as he was throwing bullpens last week. Not like a week is a massive difference at the end of the day but ... i'm actually looking forward to skinny Ryu.

    Houser can be gotten too. Low whiff rate, tends to hang his breaking stuff and changeups in hittable places if people can be ready for it. Relies mainly on sinkers to RHB, then 4 seam and slider with the occastional curve. Has not thrown a changeup to RHB yet this season. Against lefties he throws everything, but switches the primary fastball to his 4 seamer, then its sinker and changeup. occasional slider, less occasional curve. 60% GB rate and career .271 wOBA against RHB 47% GB rate and career .356 wOBA against LHB

    12.2 innings, he threw 3.2 there last year. Obviously a much larger sample But yes, someone is going to have to replace Bass, he's about to be hung by the yard-arm.
  19. John_Havok
    True enough, but usually those guys stick around because they've already had careers up to that point where more power was present, and you still hope they might recover some of it - and chances are theyre still under the end of of their long term contract. A guy starting out like that wouldn't get the time of day except as a stop/gap
  20. John_Havok
    Balanced schedule - it could very well happen. Good teams get to beat up on more mediocre and bad teams all season long.
  21. John_Havok
    Wouldnt say suck, just say that his usefulness is limited. Even unlocking a portion of additional power would make him pretty playable.
  22. John_Havok
    Olerud career ISO was .170 - just thinking out loud, would him having an ISO at .127 instead be all that valuable? Iguess not terrible - his age 35 year was right around that level of ISO @ .121 - he put up 2 fWAR, though that also includes Olerud's Defense at 1B which was always top shelf.
  23. John_Havok
    it's also not apples to apples because they offered Wander that extension when he had less than 1 year of service time. There is no way in hell Bo would have signed anything like that IMO
  24. John_Havok
    Catalanotto had more power. I'm not sure there's truly much to like here on Horwitz, the only time he's shown any pop is when he played in NH where the RF fence is like 300 feet away. THis is a guy who'd probably top out at 5HR over a full season in the majors - unless of course he played for the Yankees where he'd probably hit 30 This true comp on Horwitz is guy is John Olerud lite lite lite lite and more lite.

    I have that same problem, I’m out west so for me it’s 5pm start…can catch the first 1-1.5 innings before I leave at 5:30, drive home I miss an inning, then watch till about the 4th before going to the gym, by the time I get home it’s always 9th inning or over.
