  1. 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
  2. There are no gimmie's in MLB Except for the Rockies.
  3. Well not like 96+ no but hes usually 93-95. He threw 91 that inning. Could be nothing sure
  4. Ryan's fastball velo seems down this inning.
  5. I hear ya, but... who in the pen is reliably getting hitters out right now? Based on recent past they should all be 7th on the pen depth chart
  6. to my untrained and largely small sample size limited eye.... i just don't see why they want a guy who throws 99mp to spam knuckle curves and sliders that are all within a few MPH of each other. A lot of pitching is disrupting timing, offspeed and breaking balls play up not just because of their shape, but because of the velo difference from the fastball the hitter has to protect against.
  7. Can you put this article up on every day of his starts for the rest of the season?
  8. Weirdly enough, there was a study on this not too long ago. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9047814/ What interesting in Wheeler's case is that he has venous TOS, not neurological TOS. The study only had 4 cases of venous TOS treated with decompression surgery, the rest were all neurological. but... for any TOS with decompression surgery, the recovery time until pitching in MLB again was 10 months, 80% made a full recovery, and of those who recovered they pitched 1-3 more years with no difference in post-operative performance seen vs controls. Severely limited sample size is the main limitation of the study. As far as a condition goes for MLB pitchers, it's still incredibly rare.
  9. Agree. Spamming a knuckle curve to a guy doesn't really disrupt timing very well
  10. I thought the same thing, luckily the Marlins manager didnt think the same
  11. Don't let the ump off the hook just because you dont like Hoffman.
  12. Pitches 1, 3 and 4 were strikes. Only 1 of them called. That's not on Hoffman
  13. Perhaps... my guess is it's one of those "if this was the playoffs he'd still be DHing" kind of thing and they're just being ultra cautious
  14. Sure its a weak SS market this offseason but are there any teams out there that actually view him as a SS going forward? His D just keeps on sliding year after year
  15. Wheeler done for 6-8 months. Needs surgery on a shoulder to alleviate a blood clot. Big blow to the Phillies for this year
  16. Can't argue with that name for a pitcher. Solid.
  17. Silvano Hecchavaria with another great start in Vancouver: 6.2 IP and only gave up 2 hits and a walk with 4 Ks.
  18. If it didnt knock anything over ... yes.
  19. Hear that? Thats the sound of everyone on this board getting an erection over Bieber. And well deserved
  20. Miami feed is on the "Fanduel Sports Network" Yup...not just gambling ads, the entire network
