    Career FIP of 4.09 and xFIP of 3.82. You need pitchers who can do what Robbie Ray has historically been able to do, you are never going to get a rotation of 5 guys with 200 IP and sub 3 ERAs/FIPs. Ray's probably a solid #3 on most teams, and is probably better than 2 of the guys we currently have in our injury plagued rotation.

    Akin's got some good stuff, that changeup seriously fooled LGJ. But not that fastball!
  3. Deadpool
    Man, bad call from the ump, no chance that was a foul. Dunno how you fix that w/ technology though, that's one of those that without sensors in the bat and ball you need an ump to make that call, and they're just all bad at their jobs.
  4. Deadpool
    And the second. 6 outs, 6 Ks... That's actually just bizarre.
  5. Deadpool
    Nobody is going to argue that he's having a good season, but he's a historically good pitcher. You're talking about a sample size of 31 innings this year, vs ~820 innings in his career.
  6. Deadpool
    Not the best start to the game...
  7. Deadpool
    It's a s***** thing to do to a guy who just got his first call (I believe) to the bigs. Particularly when you're one of the biggest stars in the game.
  8. Deadpool
    Man do I hate seeing Panik's name in the lineup...
  9. Deadpool
    That, and that time he tried to slap the ball out of the first baseman's glove as he was running past... Sportsmanship is not his thing.
  10. Deadpool
    Yeah, he called off one of the Jays guys. I can't remember who it was, just that it was like one of their first games in the bigs and they were obviously nervous as f***. Rodriguez was a really poor sport about the game.

    I don't know, the back end of the top 30 is usually some thoroughly uninteresting prospects. Some of back end of the top 30 guys would be fine to move IMO, particularly the older ones.

    You are most likely the only person who noticed... Well maybe Real Life Celebrity™ Roy Firestone, or whatever that very famous person's name is...

    I know you're banned yet again, but like... This is some brutally bad cherry picked numbers here, and that is the total since the start of the virus, and doesn't reflect that the US is getting worse, while almost every other country is getting better. This is like saying "more people were killed by Nazis than by airplane crashes" and ignoring the fact that the last person killed by a Nazi (I mean the actual German army Nazis here, not the white supremacist jackholes currently roaming around) was 75 years ago. Deaths per day in the US is over 1000 STILL, and 11 in the UK. Come the f***ing f*** on. The US is absolutely not remotely close to prepared to have in person sporting events, and they won't be until they get that number down considerably (and that's not even taking state by state data into consideration, there are multiple states with daily death totals multiple times higher than the UK as a whole...) The US is far, far from ready to handle crowds at sporting events.

    Y'know what? What you said is what I thought, but then I misread the rule you posted (I read it as Last-place American League club would be right behind the [last] NL club. Dammit, I was right and then tricked myself into being wrong, but still not as wrong as EastCoaster You are correct that all the AL teams had to pass on him first. That'll teach me not to trust the fact that I'm always right!
  16. Deadpool
    That ball was hit so hard, it fooled Statcast into calling it a double. 115.8
  17. Deadpool
    Vladdy hit that so hard that he turned his own double into a triple...
  18. Deadpool
    I mean, the difference in the way the virus is contained in the US and the UK is incredibly substantial, to say the least...
  19. Deadpool
    It was an article interviewing Ken Huckabee and talking about Rochester, I think it was on Sportsnet, but I can't find it right now...
  20. Deadpool
    The last report I read was that both He and Groshans were struggling against the more advanced pitching, so I'm going to go ahead and vote against this.
  21. Deadpool
    Well, now I just look like an idiot. Damn context being required for my point!
  22. Deadpool
    Close, but not quite. AL team with the worst record would have had priority on the claim. So Boston passed before Pittsburgh had the chance.
  23. Deadpool
    We're 7-3 over the last 10 games... What does this even mean?
  24. Deadpool
    Yeah, when you have an eye as elite as Biggio's, it takes some serious paint work to exploit. I mean, if you just pump 4 seamers down the heart of the plate, you're going to get burned regardless of the batter (okay, maybe not Alford, but...). It's also quite likely that Biggio just doesn't sit fastball, as he is obviously is one of the better hitters in baseball against other pitches. If it was possible to get him out by throwing 3 95MPH heaters down the middle, that would already be on every single catcher's scouting report and he wouldn't have an OBP of almost .400.

    Man do I hope that the starting pitchers next year aren't under the control of Chuckles... Merryweather is found money at this point, and he was handling a normal starter's workload for a couple of years before injury (24 starts in 2016, 25 in 2017). I can't find much info on his "injury history" before 2018, where he was admittedly out for almost two complete seasons, which is never good, but based on number of starts, he was pretty healthy for 16 + 17, and he pitched ~120 innings in his first two minor league seasons (14 + 15) combined. That seems okay for a guy who just turned pro and was getting used to the workload. If the medical staff thinks he can start, I'd like to see what he can do. He's looked ridiculously good in the majors so far (0.4 WAR in 5.1 innings, which definitely holds up via the eye test).
