  1. He should just be ready to hit the first pitch instead of planning on taking it no matter what. f***in drives me crazy when hitters do that
  2. Dangit, Vlad leaves NEw York and forgets how to hit...
  3. Vlad is sitting slider for some reason (just not first pitch hangers...)... he's late on all these fastballs.
  4. And LOL at Vlads typical "im just gonna take the first pitch and watch the hanging 82 mph slider over the heart of the plate" plan...
  5. that was very close, but no swing. bad call ump. should be 1st and 2nd
  6. well, not a first pitch homer, but a nice single up the middle will work
  7. Clveinger has bascially morphed into 60% fastball 30% sliders, and doesnt miss many bats, so could be a tee-off night
  8. Here comes a first pitch Springer bomb.
  9. Looks like Eloy can read his breaker pretty well, might have to go to that change Or 97 at the top of the zone will work too. LOL
  10. ooh boy if he has that slurve all night the White Sox are f***ED. Those were nasty
  11. Naw im good, I'm coming off a loss so I need to regroup, reflect, and come back better for the next series.
  12. 20 minutes to game time, where the hell is Pendleton to start the GDT.
  13. I dont see how anyone can get drunk on Coors Lite or Miller Lite.... Twisted Teas... yeah i could see that.
  14. It just feels like Springer is due, he's been hitting rockets, just had a day off, should be fresh for at least 2 bombs.
  15. Yeah, the power sinker profile is more contact oriented. It's just not much of a swing and miss pitch, so for that to be a dominant offering as a reliever, you're basically at the whim of the babip gods and uppercut swing hitters. That's not to say that they can't be usefull and cant get swings and misses, because they can, just not reliably. They might go one outing where they get 5 whiffs on 10 pitches to 3 hitters total, then not get another whiff for the next 10 hitters and give up 4 hits, 1 of which is a HR. Some would say that could happen to any pitcher... well, yeah I guess, but when you miss bats consistently, you're far less susceptible to batted ball variance.
  16. Heh, well, the numbers back it up. He called it a sweeper but it's really his curveball and his curve is getting shelled this year to the tune of a .917 SLG and .563 wOBA. That's probably some kind of bad luck for sure, but still, maybe back off that pitch for a bit.
  17. April 25 Vladdy - 1 Point - Bichette - 1 Point - Chapman - 1 Point - Varsho - 2 Points - jaysblue Springer - 2 Points - JohnHavok Belt - 3 Points - WryNGinger Kiermaier - 4 Points - Jansen - 4 Points - Merrifield - 5 Points - JaysAllMighty, wilko Off the bench: 10 Points -
  18. He is the scheduled starter tonight yes. It's also Tallboy tuesday at the stadium. 5$ for 24oz Miller Lite, Coors Lite and Twisted Teas
  19. Again, Spanky likely won't be at the game.
  20. I dont think Spanky is going to tonights game.
  21. He got a 6 team NTC also, though his 10 and 5 rights will kick in towards the end of that deal as well, assuming he isn't traded before then
  22. It's probably just something he wanted to get done, see 100 million dollars in his future, and remain very tradeable.
  23. 13 mill AAV...and Hayes is locked in a 7m AAV. As it stands now, the Pirates have exactly those 2 guys on guaranteed deals for 2024 and beyond. Gone via FA this upcoming offseason will be Hill (8m) Carlos santana (7m) Hedges and Cutch (5M each), Choi (4.7M) Velasquez (3.2m) and Stephenson (1.7M). They have a club option on Jarlin Garcia for 3.25 M. 3 guys hitting Arb 2 (Brubaker, Keller, and Underwood Jr) and 5 hitting Arb 1 (De Jong, Bednar, Crowe and Joe. The rest of the roster is still league min. Estimated payroll for 2024 is about 30 million, plus whomever they add in the offseason. Obviously Nutting is going to make a play for Shohei. He's got the space.
