    makes sense, looks his velo was fine eaerlier in the game and they just left him in too long. Gassed out

    That fastball down the heart of the plate to Hoskins was 94. Doesn’t strider through 100? Edit, yeah he averages 98.2….him throwing 94 is weird. He not healthy ?

    Phillies pitching prospect Corey Phelan just died of cancer at 20. f*** cancer.
  4. John_Havok
    Shaun Anderson has selected free agency form the Jays... f***! There goes our bullpen savior.

    With the rise in popularity of streaming content, MLB will be making more money by selling the rights to streaming rather than streaming it themselves.

    The most surprising thing about this entire inning is that Ryan Goins was on base.
  7. John_Havok
    YorDaddy is just on another level right now for sure

    Any trade where there's a Nootbar involved is a win. If there's anyone there with the last name of Nougat.... slam dunk, get it done.

    You just want to watch the world burn...

    Kinda looks Yankee Stadium-ish with the shorter RF and LF lines, than ballooning out from the RF to LF gaps. Hopefully they dont bring the fences in though, I dont want a home park with a joke for HR dimensions.

    I dont really have a preference from a team likability standpoint, but Id say Houston just so all the whiney crybabies who still carry on about their cheating a few years ago... their salty tears would be tasty.

    From baseball savant. Sprint Speed is Statcast’s foot speed metric, defined as “feet per second in a player’s fastest one-second window” on individual plays. For a player’s seasonal average, the following two types of plays currently qualify for inclusion in Sprint Speed. The best of these runs, approximately two-thirds, are averaged for a player’s seasonal average. * Runs of two bases or more on non-homers, excluding being a runner on second base when an extra base hit happens * Home to first on “topped” or “weakly hit” balls. The Major League average on a "competitive" play is 27 ft/sec, and the competitive range is roughly from 23 ft/sec (poor) to 30 ft/sec (elite). A Bolt is any run above 30ft/sec. A player must have at least 10 competitive runs to qualify for this leaderboard Pretty much only includes only the plays you said about when Vlad runs hard.

    Vlad is slow when compared to the average MLB runner which would be 50th percentile. So in the context of MLB, he is slower than most. It’s kinda like saying Tapia sucks at baseball, but the reality is he’s better than the majority of the planets population, just s***** compared to other professionals in MLB.
  15. John_Havok
    I read an article about that. Catchers age better after the age of 32 relative to other positions, but that’s largely due to the bar for catchers performances regarding offense being much lower and defense being more important. I concede that If robo umps come into play in the near future, some catchers who get massive value bumps from framing are going to find themselves unemployed sooner rather than later and the offense bar for catchers might go up.

    Unfortunately he didnt have enough PAs in 2021 to have a full slate of numbres from savant. Same for 2020 And please understand I'm not saying he's some trash can unworthy of a roster spot or anything. I'm just saying that he needs to get back to his all field approach. Him trying to be more of a pull/power hitter just doesnt make sense to maximize the results of his skillset.
  17. John_Havok
    Somehwere in between would be ideal for him yes. a right handed Jeff McNeil, though not as much pop
  18. John_Havok
    Just gonna let the graphic speak for itself. You can decide for yourself if his hard hit rate, barrel rate, avg EV and max EV indicates expecting an above average hitter.
  19. John_Havok
    Clearly the wrong choice of course, but he was clearly the wrong choice all bloody season. Kinda leads me to believe that JS decision making mindset had been formed by continuous pressure from the boys upstairs all season long and had he done something other than put Tapia in, he would be forced to explain himself. Conjecture on my part of course, but how else is using Tapia as much as he was all season long explained when it's obvious to anyone with eyes that he sucks defensively?
  20. John_Havok
    his wRC+ went from 115 to 99. He didn't improve. Hard hit rate is 1 measure, not some be all end all thing that indicates significant improvement. He's not a power hitter, never will be, so he should stop trying to be one and get back to doing what he was successful at, which is hitting from line to line. If he hits the ball harder while doing so, great! Might mean a few extra base hits over singles, but he has got to get this idea out of his head that he needs to be a power hitter. It broke his approach and made him less valuable as a hitter
  21. John_Havok
    Atkins: John, what would you do differently in WC Game 2? JS: I wouldnt use the shittiest OF defender that you guys forced me to roster all season as a defensive replacement and probably not put in a lefty to flip around a switch hitter to his better side which would probably have been foloowed by another RH PH who also destroys lefties. Atkins. Good enough. And also f*** you for the Tapia dig. JS: f*** you too..... sir.

    Not in pencil, maybe a weird coloured crayon.
  23. John_Havok
    Yeha, maybe im reading too much into it but Philly already confirmed their interim, and usually if an interim manager sucks, they just let him go at the end of the season and move on right away. I can't imagine they aren't happy with his record after his taking over the role - last game moves notwithstading.
  24. John_Havok
    Something Ive been thinking about, it is kind of weird they havent confirmed him as the new manager yet. Maybe theyre waiting until the post-season is over but usually the interim managers are confirmed or fired pretty quick towards the end of the season. Wouldnt it be kind of awkward to have plans not to retain Schneider as the bench boss but want to keep him around for the same role he was in last year under Montoyo?
  25. John_Havok
    Silver lining - cant hit into a double play if there's nobody on base. So at least they're getting on base a lot.
