    Who would you start instead? Our best hitting lineup 1-7 is right handed (Gurriel is as well), Merrifield and Espinal are both significantly better against LHP in their career. I don't think much would change by starting Biggio and Tapia instead of Espinal and Merrifield, if anything it would be worse.

    Are you f***ing joking Teoscar?

    Holy f*** was that ever a horse s*** AB by Vlad. Three changeups nowhere near the zone and he swung at all of them almost ending the rally with yet another groundball.

    So the shift wording if I'm understanding correctly still allows for 5 man infield in extreme cases, although you can't stack 4 infielders on one side like I think has been done before by some team. 4 man outfield and the more traditional shift are goners for sure. We might see a modified shift with the third defender (the SS or 3B) essentially playing as straight up the middle as the rules allow, with them taking an extra step or two towards the pull side as the pitch is being delivered.

    This is fine and a neat narrative but most of the team's turnaround can be explained by regression to the mean. We literally have no idea what level of accountability was going on behind the scenes under Montoyo and the comparison to that of Schneider. This was always projected to be a good team so it's not surprising to see them eventually play up to what they were expected to do. I really don't think Montoyo, as much as I didn't love him as a tactical manager, was the reason the team was underperforming so much. He also had to deal with key injuries to the rotation, Kikuchi actually being a starter, and worse bullpen help/rotation depth prior to the deadline, which Schneider obviously benefited from. It's easy to say his firing was the catalyst and Schneider really lit a fire under them, but most likely this is all just random noise which the new manager gets to soak in the narrative from.

    Manoah a f***ing rock yet again in another big game.
  7. Orgfiller
    Manoah is so f***ing good.
  8. Orgfiller
    That was an exquisite pitch. Where did that miss ump?
  9. Orgfiller
    Rutschman is trying too hard lol.

    200 IQ by Schneider and Kirk.

    Fantastic PA from Chapman.
  12. Orgfiller
    Losing by three and you ask one of your best players, the leadoff man, to bunt. Lol

    A lot that made Pedroia annoying is he was a f***ing pest and did a lot of things right/well on the field, plus the rat face. Odor is f***ing awful at being a Major Leaguer but yet he's totally hateable in every single facet. I think it's the latter and it isn't close.

    How the f*** did Kirk make it home.
  15. Orgfiller
    Gorgeous swing.

    First of all, Manoah 2022 > 2021 both because he's pitched a lot more starts/innings and he's been better overall. Gausman ~ Ray is debatable but a reasonable claim, so actually 2021 Ray/Manoah < 2022 Gausman/Manoah. Stripling has basically been equivalent to one of Ryu/Matz from last season, if not better on a rate basis (he'll pitch fewer innings though which definitely factors in) so not sure why you're discounting him. Obviously Kikuchi has been worse than bad and Berrios has not compared to himself a season ago, but he still projects well/to career norms so it shouldn't be assumed that he'll be a zero going forward ROS. White hasn't even been that bad, an inflated ERA aside - don't see that .380 BABIP being sustainable, so he also shouldn't be discounted as not contributing to the depth.

    I was gonna pick him up but the power numbers in the minors were kind of uninspiring, so despite the prospect pedigree I just went with Eguy Rosario instead. With that said, I think he's been pegged as a guy that's a swing change away from becoming a really valuable asset, his GB rate is gross. Already has one 110 mph batted ball in the MLB so the raw power is there. Good pickup for Spanky.

    I have it on good authority from Ross Atkins that actually he plans to blow the team up for 2023 and run a Pirates like rebuild.
  19. Orgfiller
    Swing and miss out of the bullpen strikes again. Ross is laughing right now.
  20. Orgfiller
    Tony Bass says: you called?
  21. Orgfiller
    I think he's just a little showboaty about. Like he's so good at playing CF he gets bored of it and does some extra stuff for the hell of it.
  22. Orgfiller
    Velocity? Idk I agree he should be there.
  23. Orgfiller
    Berrios has 12 swings and misses on 74 pitches. That's more like it.
  24. Orgfiller
    Kirk with the WHEELS, busting it down the line.

    Awesome quote. To answer your question, most of them probably? Here's Stripling's for 2022: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/ross-stripling/13273/splits?position=P&season=2022 You can see if you scroll down the Jays have only allowed him 8 IP a third time through, compared to 40 and 36 the first two times. If you split it by career you'll see he gets completely shelled historically the third time through.
