  1. Obviously Manoah's command was non-existent. But how was his Stuff? Does it look better than his stuff last year?
  2. Went back and looked at Gausman's starts last year and he did have a huge drop in velo in Game 2 but it was against the Royals so he still dominated. The velo returned in Game 3. The Game 1 velo to Game 2 velo in both 2023 and 2024 all match up almost perfectly. So hopefully that Yankees game was a blip and he looks great against the Rockies later this week.
  3. Finally a game against the Yankees where we come out on top on the Ump Scorecard.
  4. Someone can probably explain this better than I, but I believe in Driveline terminology he throws a "rider". He has an over the top arm angle with good extension and good spin. If he gets the ball up I think it all works and it creates the appearance of a "rising fastball" and will induce a lot of whiffs and pop-ups. But if he doesn't get the ball up, he's not getting the rising effect that he wants and hitters can punish him for it. The results haven't been there for Francis yet but I think he will look a lot better against the Rockies in his next start. If you look at his "Similar Pitchers" on statcast they list Tyler Wells, Tyler Alexander, Bailey Ober, Eury Perez and Emmet Sheehan. That's some pretty solid company to be in when one is hoping for backend starter material.
  5. Ronel Blanco has held the Rangers hitless through 5
  6. Ricky Romero is a pretty good comparison. Perihperals weren't eye popping for either of them but both looked like anything from FIP-beating #2 starters to mid rotation guys at the worst. Both struggled out of nowhere and then after the fact they pointed to some vague injuries as the reason.
  7. Mariners will throw some good arms at us but so are we and their offense stinks. Shooting for a 2-1 series win. Then we get the Rockies as the first series on a road trip for them which should help our pitching feast. Good series to get Gausman back on track and to see what Francis has got when he's not facing a top offense in a hitter's park on the road. Let's shoot for a sweep. Yankees come to town after that and Rodon, Stroman and Schmidt are due to face Bassitt, Kikuchi and Gausman. I like our chances to go 2-1 here as well. Let's give them a game to work with and I'm hoping for a 6-3 home stand.
  8. You think he goes down to 1 knee due to laziness?
  9. Great play by Biggio there Always liked that guy
  10. He hits like a pitcher When Jansen is back I hope he gets DFA’d and we trade cash for Hineyman wherever he is
  11. People were worried about his 40 man spot. He’s supposed to be good defensively but he looks overwhelmed. Not even trying to frame.
  12. https://d23.com/app/uploads/2013/04/eeyore-1180w-600h.jpg
  13. This board is the largest collection of debbie downers the internet has ever seen
  14. Good call I’m feeling very confident as well so I bet 5 units (1 unit = 1 dollar)
  15. The game was rigged and we still won
  16. Oh hell yeah brother Welcome to the team https://media.tenor.com/Esdixlt2LJ8AAAAe/kramer-gulp.png
  17. Going to be hard to hit homers against us when we’ve got our 3 aces rolling (Gausman, Berrios and Kuchi)
  18. The only question I have is do we let the debbie downers on board once they can no longer deny that we are title contenders? I'm not sure as of now but I'll probably follow Spanky's lead on that one.
  19. How we feeling Team Not Panicking Yet? We took game 1 against the Yanks and we've got Gausman going tomorrow. Our pitching and defense approach (which wins championships) just stymied the Yankees for the first home opener shut out since 1967. Gotta say I feel like a million bucks.
  20. This team has a lot of heart. 4-4 with the toughest schedule in baseball so far. Pitching and defense wins championships and I love what I’m seeing so far. Go Jays
  21. I think the FO just wants a yes man that will do whatever they say Bruce Bochy isn't that kind of guy
