    I'd put Woodruff there too

    I wouldn't even bank on Francis being ready. I know he hasn't had surgery (yet) but he was shut down twice with setbacks during his recovery. Imaging hasn't shown any structural damage but...still.

    He will definitely get a shot at a rotation spot next year. No guarantees of course nor should there be. Gausman, Lauer and Berrios are probably written in ink, but the other 2 spots will be available, probably 1 filled via FA and the other internally from the laundry list of options. Manoah, Macko, Yesavage, Ricky T, Lucas, Varland maybe...Van Eyk, Fernando Perez maybe.

    This. Results for him really dont matter right now...sure its nice to see him not decapitating hitters and getting some swing and miss but hes not on the radar for 2025... just keep him where he is, get as many pitches from him as possible, have a good offseason at the lab and see what happens next spring.

    4 HR night ...stud

    Fish in a barrel man... that was too easy

    I generally don't like either especially at this point of the season where everyone is so used to being on 4 days rest that those extra 1 or 2 rest days can throw off a rhythm. So much about baseball is built around routine and timing.

    Feels like they adjusted the rotation with the 6 guys to make these matches happen for this series

    Realistically going by pure fWAR, Kirk is the most valuable. But when your into the weeds if being separated by decimal points, it becomes more subjective for sure. Vlad is the straw that stirs the drink for the Jays. As he goes, they go for the most part. Thats my rationale. I generally dont break down most valuable into raw counting stats. Springers defense is so bad this season they had to move him to DH, so...thats gives Vlad the edge to me from an overall standpoint. Never thought id be using Vlads defense as a reason for defending his value...but here we are Kirk 3.8, Vlad and George 3.5, Bo 3.3
  10. John_Havok
    Its still Vlad realistically, but... without Springer bouncing waaay back, Bo and Kirk bouncing back, Barger taking a real step forward, even Varsho's power resurgence in his limited time... I'd put Springer at the top of the "comeback player of the year" pile, but not quite MVP.

    A very genuine human being playing the game he loves and isnt afraid to show it on the field, while still not taking himself seriously. It's great to watch
  12. John_Havok
    Casey Janssen always gave me nightmares when he was closing. Always seemed to get great results but since he wasn't a big strikeout guy the ball was almost always in play. Rarely walked guys though which was a major plus

    This game is turning into a circus...
  15. John_Havok
    Looks safe to me, but a nice cup-check tag on the bag from Clement
  16. John_Havok
    Hey, we see you've been really successful doing what youre doing so here's what we're thinking... we stop doing that, and try something else. Sound good?
  17. John_Havok
    I dont understand the pitch mix from Varland... like, if they know everything is a breaker or offspeed really easy to lay off anything that looks borderline.
  18. John_Havok
    Manoah threw 85 pitches today over 5.1 IP. 3 unearned runs given up in the 1st, but pretty solid from there. 6 hits 1HR, 2 walks and 5 Ks
  19. John_Havok
    Someone get a urine test on Springer. Good lord
  20. John_Havok
    I think the official scorer is high tonight. No way was that a single plus an error on the throw lol, throw beat Lukes by 2 steps. Straight error all day
  21. John_Havok
    Attaboy Georgie, another absolute tank!
  22. John_Havok
    Yeah its one of those things though, its not like they're in the hunt for a playoff spot so getting someone better in his spot doesn't move the needle this year, so why not let him pitch? Counterpoint: he has truly sucked so...why pay him more money to keep sucking? In a vacuum its a totally defensible move to punt him. The fact that its the Pirates and they did the same thing with Tellez and are run by a penny-pinching cry-poor billionaire who refuses to spend money to put a solid team on the field and it becomes a pretty bad look

    There are no gimmie's in MLB Except for the Rockies.
  24. John_Havok
    Wallner heard you. Shush
  25. John_Havok
    Well not like 96+ no but hes usually 93-95. He threw 91 that inning. Could be nothing sure
