    He's close.

    Why any pticher is worried about a guy on base with the nearly automatic strikeout in Zimmer at the plate is pretty funny.
  3. John_Havok
    Amateur sports are a whole different ball of crazy
  4. John_Havok
    As weird as it sounds, I'd rather have Zimmer on the roster in the playoffs than Tapia.
  5. John_Havok
    Its just weird, while he's never been a good hitter, hovering around 90 wRC+ ... this season is just comically bad with the bat. his .185 babip also hilariously gross. Cant really judge him too harshly on 100 PAs, but ... yeah, he's the klind of guy who's batting practice should be nothing but bunt drills.

    Be prepared for disappointment. I guarantee he's going to do something inexcuseably dumb to cost the Jays something. Maybe not the series, but.. it will be horrendous. Unfortunately it would just be too rude to DFA him after game 162

    I dont get whats so complicated about the record. The HR record is 73 for MLB. Its in black and white in the record books. AL record still deserves some attention as hitting 60+ HR regardless of whether it's the MLB record is exceptionally rare. Adding to it's mystique in the AL is that only NY Yankees RFs have done it.
  8. John_Havok
    Yeah, but people paid money to see the games so... they should be played. Both Baltimore fans would be tremendously disappointed if they didnt
  9. John_Havok
    Corked bat was 2003. There was some article from MIT way back when that pretty much disproved a coreked bat making any real difference in batted ball distance.
  10. John_Havok
    Yankees record 99-62. Judges # - 99 Judge's HR total - 62 So if they lose tonight and judge hits 1 more dinger ...
  11. John_Havok
    Nah, no team would ever forfeit games. There’s probably massive issues involved when you think of TV contracts, streaming deals, not to mention player stats that could have potentially huge impacts on arbitration contracts.
  12. John_Havok
    Did you see the video and the fan who leapt off the seating area before the ball landed? Dude just yeeted off the seating area
  13. John_Havok
    Lol now they’re worried about the field?
  14. John_Havok
    Wtf Teo lol
  15. John_Havok
    Kirk looks tired
  16. John_Havok
    Can you imagine the s*** Seattle would cry if they called the game though? Even after 8?
  17. John_Havok
    Meh, trying to play small ball with Biggio is a waste of time especially when a moronic umpire has a strike zone as wide as the trailer he grew up in.
  18. John_Havok
    Anything can really happen in short series, but quite honestly the Guardians scare me the least. They are dead last in virtually every metric that corresponds with offense, they are far more likely to put up 0 runs per game against other teams top pitching than they are to beat people with the stick
  19. John_Havok
    Yeah that's just it, you have to be as good as Tony Gwynn and Ichiro at slapping the ball around for that kind of style to be useful. I get into verbal sparring matches all the time with dumbasses about that kind of thing. "Well they could have hit HRs if they wanted to"... ********. Or they would have. No hitter in the world is slapping singles around IF he had the ability to hit HR's consistantly. "All they have to do to beat the shift is slap the ball the other way. They never shifted Tony Gwynn!" ... yup. All you have to do is have the hand eye and talent of a hall of fame player to put the ball wherever you want whenever you want... and Oh, he still failed at it 65 times out of 100. So easy!!!!!
  20. John_Havok
    Yeah, it's a fun name and when you hear it you'll even think it's stupid for bringing it up because nothing in his career would even suggest steroids. Until you look at the numbers I posted because those are always the types of things people point to to support steoird allegations. Late career power surges. In this guy's case, his avs HR's per year were 6, then in the last 3 years of his career was about 15. So when I talk to people about steroids and how they use power bumps and late 30's surges... etc, I always bring up those previous numbers without telling them the actual totals ... and so far, every single person has said the player was definitely on steroids. Oh, and it's Tony Gwynn
  21. John_Havok
    To me the answer is no. To get a blockbuster deal, you need to show you're a consistant blockbuster player. He hasn't really shown that consistency. Has all the talent, but if im paying that much, i want to see that talent more than just 1 season. I might be in the Matt Olson type of contract range right now though I wouldnt be super happy about it. I wouldnt be touching 30 million per season for 10 years.
  22. John_Havok
    It's a hard question to answer... is it better to have all of Manoah/Gausman/Strip/Berrios available pitching in Seattle.... or Gausman/Strip/Berrios at home with maybe Manoah out of the pen in a game 3 if necessary, even if only for 2-3 innings.
  23. John_Havok
    There's a guy nobody ever talks about, who at age 37, 38 and 39 saw a massive power bump right in the midst of the Sosa/McGwire thing, and there was never a peep about him either. He hit nearly 30 % of his career HR totals in those 3 seasons. In the 15 seasons prior his SLG was .440, in the age 37-39 seasons it was .513 1 HR for every 93 PA for 15 seasons, then suddenly it was 1 HR for every 34 PA at age 37-39. Never gets mentioned as a possible user.
  24. John_Havok
    Yeah Buck, Tapia has been such an important part of the team….he’s a replacement level scrub. He doesn’t mean s***
  25. John_Havok
    He needs a third pitch for each handed hitter. and one of the three has to become a reliable swing and miss offering. He throws 3 pitches now, fastball curve and slider, but he basically eliminates one of the breaking balls against righties(curve) and the other(slider) against lefties. His slider is nasty against righties though, but his curve gets very few misses against lefties. For my money, dude needs a changeup.
