    Certainly possible since team's generally only insure their higher earning guys. Vlad's? For sure it's insured. Cease? Pretty much guaranteed to be insured. they probably had Springer, Gausman and Berrios insured. Those premiums are not cheap though.

    They did. Then he hurt himself in the playoffs again.

    1st in the Cy or second... Cease has had Cy Young caliber season. Whether he wins the award based on a few points of ERA is immaterial really. The two are as close in results as you can possibly be almost. There's no reason why Schlittler should clearly win, also no reason why Cease should clearly win. It's a 2-horse race and should be a split decision. For Cease though, finishing second in the Cy costs him 25 grand since his contract Cy bonus is 150k, 2nd place is 125k. Already banked 50k for the AS selection. NL Cy is much fun even though the Misiorowski dominance narrative is overblown. Chris Sanchez is right there with him and the race is certainly not as slam dunk as people would have you believe. Even Sale and Luzardo should be in the conversation though Sale's IP totals might cost him. Overall I'd still say the Miz wins, but dismissing everyone else to 2nd place just cuz 100mph is kinda silly.

    this isn't even a day to day chart... it's a batter to batter chart.

    Vancouver is up 2-0 in the NWL Championship series, it's a best of 5 vs the Eugene Emeralds. Last nights game was won with a walk-off sac fly in the 10th. Their playoffs is where the first half winner plays the 2nd half winner. Vancouver was actually dead last in the league in the first half (27-39), Eugene being the first half winner. However, Vancouver came alive and was 2nd in the 2nd half (37-29) but again Eugene finished first by half a game, so Vancouver gets in as the 2nd half representative. First 2 games were in Van, last 3 games if needed are in Eugene.

    Santander's first rehab game in Buffalo, 0-4 with a K. At least he didn't die.

    Which I think is exactly what the plan was when he was acquired. I really don't think they acquired him with plans to chuck him into a starter's role or bulk-guy-after-the-opener down the stretch. Injuries forced it when he's not really ready for it. He's the kind of guy who will really suffer in a lockout situation since he absolutely needs to live in the lab in the offseason, but won't be able to if the players are locked out.

    For me, I enjoy sports for what it is... a nice distraction from life for a few hours. Oddly, I think knowing way more about the sport than the average fan actually makes it easier to let go of bad results most of the time. Yeah, it's frustrating watching a half-billion dollar dumbass play like a replacement level scrub, but I still have to go to work/school/practicum tomorrow whether he hits well or not, so ... his failures or successes, or team failures or successes really don't matter to my life. When this kind of thing bothers people to the point of screaming at clouds, just turn it off.

    groundouts to flyouts yesterday: 15-0 His only 2 flyballs went out of the park.
  10. John_Havok
    94 pitches. Wow!
  11. John_Havok
    As an opener for 2-ish innings... maybe. Gotta remember he pitched a grand total of 7.1 innings in all of 2024 and 8.2 in all of 2025. He's already pushing past 85 IP this year. The arm is likely getting pretty worn down. If they squeak in the playoffs he'll most certainly be on the playoff roster too. I really don't think they want to push him much past 100 IP.
  12. John_Havok
    How many innings does he have left after spending all that time injured? If they want him as a starter it wont be until next season and it'll probably be in Buffalo to build up innings first.
  13. John_Havok
    I mean, Schneider had to have been a decent defensive catcher since he couldn't hit for sh*t in the minors
  14. John_Havok
    Very much so. And specific to scoops... 5 outs difference from top to bottom of the league. And Vlad sucks at scoops. LOL, that's what he was supposed to be good at?
  15. John_Havok
    15 outs difference from top to bottom is a bit wider a gap than Tango was anticipating if I remember right, though that may been specific to scooping.
  16. John_Havok
    Well, Schneider is a former catcher so maybe he should. Did I do it right this time?
  17. John_Havok
    I was just playing along. I'll lay it on lighter next time. My apologies...
  18. John_Havok
    Not sure anyone was mentioned this or not, but Savant now has a "1b Receiving" section in their defense breakdowns. Theyve got OAA based on throws that are on target, bounce, scoops, wide, high and low.
  19. John_Havok
    Holding runners for sure. People and the broadcasters were saying their running wild on Kirk... but... no, they were running on Cease taking his usual slow motion delivery. Even a half-assed jump from a guy with Vlad's speed could steal off him. That said, Kirk's pop time is worse this year than last by 5 hundredths of a second. And as a whole, the leagues catchers have taken leap forward in that regard since that .05 seconds he has lost has seen him fall from 51st percentile to 9th percentile.
  20. John_Havok
    Nobody would be playing in when all you need is a force at any bag. You can't plan your defense around a 51 mph dribbler. It's just s*** luck
  21. John_Havok
    Lol, could time that trot with a sundial.
  22. John_Havok
    Anyone want to start a pool on when his next shoulder injury happens? During rehab or in his 1st PA back with the big club?
  23. John_Havok
    Yeah, pitchers dont even have to even try amd.be tricky with him. Throw 92 down the middle and he'll get himself out Just dont hang a curveball.
