  1. Can’t see Pop sticking at the big league level for much longer if he pitches every game.
  2. Ironically Melendez is a brutal catcher. The ump just sucks extra hard to make up for it.
  3. This umpire is just gonna call every comeback sinker a strike, impossible to hit that.
  4. The eye test and the defensive metrics back it up. Kirk is a vacuum back there and he’s an excellent framer. What about his defense doesn’t seem elite to you?
  5. Exactly what I was thinking. If Berrios gets his command to where Singer has been this game, just like that second inning, he could be very valuable still. The stuff is good.
  6. Kirk more than makes up for his brutal baserunning. Elite defensive catcher and excellent hitter. He’s worth a shitload.
  7. I bet you’d love it if they missed the playoffs just so you could say you were right about beta Ross eh? Literally the Dodgers with 111 wins got knocked out in the NLDS last season, losing 3-1. So no, simply getting knocked out of the playoffs won’t put his job at jeopardy unless serious holes in the roster remain exposed and unaddressed throughout the entirety of the season. A lot of stuff would have to go wrong to outright miss it, but yes it’s very possible in that scenario that he could be used as a scapegoat and get shown the door.
  8. I’m pretty sure the Blue Jays have only faced Singer like two times. Varsho apparently got the best of him in the one game he’s seen him. On the other hand, the Royals have seen Berrios a million times.
  9. Wait, Hunter Dozier is still rostered, let alone starting, for the Royals? He’s been a -1 WAR player the last two seasons, is 31 and is below average for a bat-only player without the ability to even crush lefties in a platoon. The Royals are an awful org. Luckily they also gave him a 4/25M contract back at the beginning of 2021 because Hunter Dozier is just one of those guys that you extend first and ask questions later.
  10. Sunday, April 2 Vladdy - 1 Point - gruber92 Bichette - 1 Point - Orgfiller Belt - 2 Points Varsho - 2 Points - Deadpool Kirk - 2 Points - JaysAllMighty Springer - 2 Points - Grant Chapman - 2 Points - Dylan Kiermaier - 3 Points Jansen - 3 Points Biggio - 4 Points Merrifield - 5 Points Espinal - 6 Points Off the bench: 10 Points
  11. Edman is a switch hitter and is much better against lefties than RHP. 124 wRC+ career against them, obviously no Goldy though.
  12. It's only one batter, but Jesus Luzardo is throwing gas. Big year for him, and what could be another disastrous trade by the Oakland A's in giving up on him with 3 more years of control.
  13. At least Marmol had the excuse that Hicks is wild and Varsho is no slouch. The Cards had the worst hitter on their team, probably one of the worst in the league, who is so bad they had him bunt with a runner on second, with Yimi Garcia who has an excellent walk rate for his career. Pretty indefensible to have him face Arenado in that spot. Hated that call, hated even giving Tim Mayza the option to face Goldschmidt - yeah he failed at his job in getting there in the first place, but Swanson is a good pitcher with pitches that play well against the opposite handedness. At least he didn't double down on his mistakes and let KK hit away instead of bunting in the 9th inning. As previously mentioned, also surprised at the lack of running overall save for the one hit and run - which I didn't mind, Merrifield just whiffed - given the quality of baserunning on this team.
  14. Does Statcast factor in qualified hitters in their percentiles? They give Bo, Sal Perez roughly ~85th percentile, which would seem too high based on your calculations. Obviously qualified is a better measure since more PAs means more opportunities to achieve your “true” max EV.
  15. For context, Bichette hit a ball 112.4 mph last season as his hardest hit (not his career max), that was good for 85th percentile in 2022.
  16. Varsho’s 112.5 mph double in the first inning was the hardest hit ball of his career, and by quite a bit actually. Previous high was 110.9. That’s like 60 raw power at least I think? After seeing how good his ABs were this game, 6 WAR season incoming.
  17. No chance he just forgot, they literally had a mound visit and he’s standing on deck lol.
  18. Andrew f***ing Knizner on deck and you pitch to Arenado with a base open.
  19. To be fair, the pacing has been good. Lots of tense moments but the pitchers and hitters aren’t taking turns calling for time and 4 pickoffs every other guy that reaches base.
  20. I don’t think you give Jordan Hicks the opportunity to walk in the bases loaded, he’s too wild.
  21. Jordan Hicks blows, need to take advantage.
  22. Cimber did exactly what was asked of him, this should still be a tied game.
  23. Merrifield has to make contact there, that’s his whole thing.
  24. Why even give Mayza the option to face Goldschmidt, hated that decision as soon as it happened.
  25. Stellar first showing by Swanson, really wish he’d have finished the inning however.
