    if Vlad sees another fastball this AB ill be shocked

    Was just gonna say, they should probably just walk Springer and pitch to mr Anti-clutch Guerrero.

    I'm so glad Tapia in on this team. Legit.

    To be fair, Gausman's delivery time to the plate can be measured with a sundial.

    Definitely seems to have switch up to an "all or nothing" approach. Looking to murder the baseball every swing and take the occasional walk.
  6. John_Havok
    Have you met people?
  7. John_Havok
    I just threw up in my mouth at the mere thought.

    Can we have a separate game for the next 2 nights for how many Boston Infielders get killed by line drives because they suck?

    And because I know everyone here was dying to know about the Trevor Bauer appeal.. here ya go: "The appeal of Bauer’s suspension started May 23 and now is expected to last until November, [bauer’s lawyer Shawn] Holley told the court. The appeal is heard intermittently, but Holley said she is “working full-time” on proceedings that she said involve “voluminous” evidence and could include as many as 22 witnesses, only four of whom have completed testimony before an independent arbitrator."

    And Eovaldi and Vasquez. Dount they offer QO's to all of them so at best they might be looking at 2 picks coming their way for losing a 3rd of their starting lineup and arguably their best pitcher.

    Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Also, saw an article in the Sun today, Stroman did have Gibbons blocked because he thought it was a fake account. He's unblocked now.

    I dont think he wouldve made 2nd even if he did run out of the box, the RF had the ball about 3.5 seconds after it left the bat. Fastest home to 1st time in the majors right now is about 4.2 seconds, so even had he run hard out of the box, the fielder wouldve had the ball before the fastest players in ball even got to first.

    Glasgow’s surgery was early August 2021, so more than a year ago. Surgery today for Buehler means he likely isn’t back on a major league mound on this same date next season. Therefore , most of the 2023 season will be over which he will have missed.
  14. John_Havok
    Arroyo with some impressive takes on those 2 strike changeups, damn
  15. John_Havok
    That’s such a bad decision by Refsnyder to dive for that ball. Lolo
  16. John_Havok
    Walker Buehler's elbow surgery now confirmed to be Tommy John procedure, performed today. Definitely done for most of the 2023 season

    I dont think it's a swing change issue, his swing looks laregly the same. I think he's getting fewer, and therefore swigning at fewer pitches that are condusive to his particualr swing path creating the punishing fly balls. He'll still crush mistakes of course, but pitchers know they can't live up in the zone with him. It's gotta be down and preferably down and away

    With Vlad's talent, a 155 wRC+ should be his floor. When he gets the LA right, we're looking at 190 or higher.
  19. John_Havok
    It's just that high back then was 5.5 million per year.

    If there was a guy I would want to sit, fish and drink with and just talk baseball for days at a time... it would be John Gibbons.

    Joe Carter was the 6th highest paid player in baseball in 1993 and the 3rd highest in 1994. Its always about money And yes i know your post was probably in jest, I just wonder how many people actually realized how highly paid Carter was compared to other players who were demonstrably better and worth way more more money than he was. Barry Bonds for example made less than Joe Carter.

    I like a good beer batter all year round, but especially in the playoffs. Whether its around a nice piece of fish or some excellent shrimp, beer batter is always the way to go. Never lets you down in the clutch

    It's the ultimate irony of Stroman's ******** lines he's always spewing about "say what you want, it just fuels me..." blah blah blah, then blocks anyone who says anything even remotely negative. He probably just blocked Gibby thinking it wasn't the real one, or knew it was the real one and did it as a joke. I doubt Stroman has any hate on for Gibby. Who could possibly hate John Gibbons?

    Yeah, people seem to think i'm concerned with the K rate... which I am, but the K rate is probably an easier fix than the other concerning aspects of his game. Like, sure, fixing the K rate but not fixing the launch angle issue gives a few more HRs per year, but not very much else. To be a great hitter, you have to be doing something productive when youre not hitting HRs or taking walks. Right now, he's not doing a whole lot in the PAs that dont get those 2 results. Comparing his #'s Miguel Sano is easy, since they are both were 20 at AA, and very similar hitters with massive power and big K numbers. But if you look at Sano's other numbers (LD rate, IFFB rate, WRC+) from when he was in AA to what Orelvis is doing now, it's not flattering for Orelvis. Doesnt mean it cant be fixed of course, but personally, I'm not as optimistic as many seem to be.

    Take it easy, he used a capital 2.
