  1. It is. I would think if MLB was going to expand they would want 2 teams to come in at a time. Given the current 30 clubs, theyd probably want to go to 32 rather than 31, for obvious reasons. Salt Lake City would be a good place for a team to expand to though Oakland being relocated probably is higher on the To-Do list for MLB, but them moving doesnt necessarily mean a change of ownership. They'd likely want to western- located teams too... I'm thinking Vancouver would be great but there's just never any smoke there to indicate anyone is looking to make it happen
  2. no doubt. With any SP injuries too he could step in and get some starts if needed also. 4-5 innings tops most likely, but if that's the case so be it.
  3. I think he would benefit from backing off the slider and change velo a bit. For the slider, get it back down to 86-87. Right now it's averageing 2mph harder than previous years, and getting less vertical drop. Changeup is also about 2 mph harder than his previous years, with less vertical and less horizontal movement. Its averaging 89 mph vs his fastball at 95.
  4. kikuchi didnt really pitch that bad against the angels, he just got Ohtani'd. That pitch Ohtani hit for the HR was inside off the plate and he inside-outed it for a Left Centre HR of like 400+ feet. That's ridiculous. That's like Vlads HR off Cole last year when it was nearly 100mph inside and he took it out.. could throw that exact pitch to those hitters another 20 times and not get those results.
  5. Mountcastle with 9 RBI against the Athletics tonight. Have a game kid!
  6. cant be fatigue, his slider was s*** from the first time he threw it tonight.
  7. No love for Kirk either, dang
  8. Arraez hits for the cycle for Miami!
  9. Hotdog? gooood. Gravy? Great! Hotdog + Gravy = heaven
  10. Thigh high... yeah. Down low.... better. The 3rd strike looking to that last guy was pretty much the exact same location as the HR given up.
  11. He's got no slider or changeup command, they can just sit on the fastball
  12. That's 100% the fence. Last year that's a warning track out.
  13. Avg velo will be seem to be down though if you intentionally keep it on the low end (90-92)for the first half of your pitches, then ramp up (93-95) for the second half. That's just math, and will all depend on how soon/late he flips the switch
  14. One thing I really hate about hitters, when they come to bat just deciding before hand they wont be swinging, and watch crushable meatballs go right past them.
  15. Lets get the Cy Young version of Manoah tonight!
  16. My point is, beating the bottom dwellers shouldn't mean that everyone thinks the Rays are the best team in baseball like people that do weekly power rankings do. If they were 11-0 against top 10 projected teams, sure, let's maybe re-evaluate.
  17. I dont want to give them to omuch credit for their current record though, they really have played the softest schedule in the MLB. Their 1st 4 series were against projected 5th place teams in their divisions, 2 of which are projected to be bottom 5 in all of the MLB. Yes, its impressive they've ran the table so far, but lets not move them up to WS favorites because they've stomped on bugs. No matter their record when they come to toronto on Friday, if we take 2 of 3, them taking out the trash doesnt mean a whole lot as far as power rankings go.
  18. Up yours ya trogladytic uphill gardening bike!
