    So Acuna goes yard in the game at Miami today, then gets robbed of a double by a great defensive play, 3rd AB gets HBP on a fastball up and in. Just a glancing blow and he stayed in but wtf is going on in Miami? Newcomb retaliated and hit one of the Marlins, but no benches cleared. Warnings issued and nothing further developed.

    Fixed that for you

    Kind of a goofy schedule at the mid/end of April start of May. On the road to Minnesota, then out west for 3 against the As, then back home for 5, then back west again for 3, and central for 3, then home for 7, then back west again for 2 and the central for 4. That's a lot of time zone hopping to the west and central

    No, was saying look at his august without the prior 7 days from yesterday. It was largely forgettable. Then he goes on a 7 day tear and boosts the overall august. We're still talking about a guy that might crack 1 WAR IF he stays hot and doesn't go on another extended slump. However, I hope to hell he stays hot and maybe some team will get desperate and maybe take him off our hands before the Aug 31 deadline.... and if not, maybe in the offseason. Probably wishful thinking though. We're likely stuck with him through next season so while I will definitely hope for the best, I'm not expecting it.

    This has been debated before. If you have elite velo + average control/command you're fine. If you have elite control/command then you don't need the velo. Simply put, velo is more forgiving. You don't get damaged as much throwing 95+ as long as it's in the zone somewhere. You can see what happens to command/control guys like Estrada when they miss their spots, though I wouldn't grade his command as elite. It's good but not elite.

    He's also in an incredible hot streak which is boosting his line temporarily. Let's not let recency bias overwhelm. When he cools off a bit, it will be more of the same old Kendrys.

    To be even more fair, there's a difference between above average and over.400

    I would be concerned at the K rate without the pop(26% and .124 iso respectively at AAA, and also his .400+ babip. Some real red flags there

    Article from fangraphs today analyzing the Orioles demise https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/elegy-for-18-baltimore-orioles/

    Orioles officially eliminated from the playoffs. Earliest elimination in the WC/division era. That's just delicious. KC is also out of the WC race, but still have 2 more games to go before they are eliminated from the division race

    2 s***** teams, where 1 s***** team will beat another s***** team. Not exactly riveting TV

    Screw 3 packs, I got a 3 pack, 4 pack, 6 pack and a keg hiding it all.

    Now I remember why I stopped playing lol

    Sweet. One of the few respectable journalists in Toronto

    His body and arm speed were noticeably slower when throwing the offspeed stuff. If I had any talent in video side by side editing, I would put it together and show it. It was more pronounced on his slider, which probably partially explains why his slider is slower than his changeup, which seems really weird to me.
  17. John_Havok
    Kind of a combination of everything sinking him today, just ok command, tipping the offspeed stuff, bad defense, rookie baserunning errors, stupidly inconsistent strike zone. He's pitching better than his line indicates IMO, but still not a good effort. Severino is pitching like trash but has everything going his way conversely, largely due to the fact that jays hitters are garbage
  18. John_Havok
    Oops. Jantzen airmailed that one....
  19. John_Havok
    Wow, another crazy inconsistent strike zone lol What is with these umps this series. Yesterday was embarrassing
  20. John_Havok
    Nice pitch, jammed him hard and he got stupid lucky. Lol awesome

    It would also make more sense if it was actually true. If you look at his underlying numbers Gurriel is actually slightly unlucky given his exit velo and results. But why let reality creep in to whatever world tercet lives in.
  22. John_Havok
    Lol, you may want to

    He's not rule 5 eligible yet.
  24. John_Havok
    Like I said, it's not a non-zero chance because of exactly what you said. But as Hurl mentioned, he's not rule 5 eligible yet (drafted 2016 so this is just his 3rd season, after 2019 he would be added or risk being lost) so there isn't a need to bring him up...NH is going to the playoffs, and if I'm not mistaken, I recall a conversation from somewhere where Atkins mentioned he is a proponent of a player spending time at every level before making the big leagues, which obviously Biggio hasn't done yet
  25. John_Havok
    It's not a non-zero chance, but I doubt it.
