    If he knew where his fastball was going he wouldn't be f***ing around with 3-0 sliders lol.

    This is Miguel Sano as an amateur. This is Miguel Sano in the minors. http://images.thepostgame.com/assets/public/AP13032106500_BP.jpg Miguel Sano as a 23 year old in his second full MLB season:

    Is Sano even a cautionary tale as a hitting prospect? I don't think Sano is out of the league because he can't hit or the high Ks caught up to him, as he has a career 115 wRC+, it's that he ballooned in size significantly from his time in the minors and became a full time DH, and that's where the good-not-great offensive output cost him. The defensively adept version of Miguel Sano is Joey Gallo and he's been a very valuable player in his MLB career. If Orelvis is somewhere in between those guys as an ~80 power, high Ks guy with a good defensive home the Blue Jays are taking that every time in the developmental process. Now, he may not be either of those, because it's true that both had much better success as 20 year olds in AA and higher prospect pedigrees than Orelvis seems to have. But my point is, so what if he's Miguel Sano offensively? Couple that guy with even passable SS defense or say, above-average 3B and that's a very valuable player under cheap team control.

    Jays have the 6th highest clutch score by fangraphs, 9th highest batting average with RISP.

    I mean, maybe Benintendi was expecting a fastball after they just threw him a pitch which he crushed. The game theory of pitching and hitting just isn't that straightforward. Maybe Benintendi was looking fastball away to crush but instead adjusted easily enough to breaking ball down the middle.

    I don't think slider down the pipe is what Kirk had in mind with that pitch call.
  7. Orgfiller
    Probably as long as he keeps the offense to the fifth best hitting in the MLB.

    If you only watched that last inning you would think Manoah was unhittable all game. And he pretty much was, just wild for portions of it. He really cranked it up a notch when he knew he was coming out of the game after this inning.
  9. Orgfiller
    BABIP luck has been in the shitter this game. Team xBA is .305 to Yankees' .186 but getting nothing to show for it.
  10. Orgfiller
    Manoah in his usual fashion has been a bit wild but ultimately pretty dominant. He's just such an uncomfortable at-bat for hitters. Only knock on him about his performance today (erratic command aside) has been the efficiency, he could push 6 innings but that's only if he gets some quick outs over the next two.
  11. Orgfiller
    That was a great AB, too bad it didn't sneak through the infield. Loud contact too, 104.7 mph off the bat.
  12. Orgfiller
    Spencer Torkelson has a 92 wRC+ in AAA with a 28% K rate and a middling .155 ISO. Either the Tigers broke him or his confidence is completely shot. Even Kelenic has hit in AAA in between awful stints in the MLB.
  13. Orgfiller
    Judge is Manoah's son.
  14. Orgfiller
    Gurriel with batted balls with xBAs of .770 and .540, no hits.
  15. Orgfiller
    I mean he drove it 395 feet, I think he deserved the bounce over the wall at that point.
  16. Orgfiller
    That was destroyed.
  17. Orgfiller
    I'm sure people said the same about Kelenic. "He's not ".
  18. Orgfiller
    He straight up outhit Pujols as a 42 year old in 2007 when Albert was "27" lol. Obviously being a bit unfair here as the latter would then post back-to-back 180+ wRC+ seasons. But yeah, old man Bonds outhit one of the best hitters ever in his prime lol, roids or not he was just built different.
  19. Orgfiller
    We're all forgetting Barry Bonds, who much like A-Rod got blackballed out of baseball. He conceivably could have pushed for 800 HR. Retired at 1996 RBI, 2935 hits. He had wRC+ of 146 and 157 in 130 games each season in 06-07 as a 41 and 42 year old. Put him in Tampa as a DH on that 08 team and they possibly win the World Series with Barry Bonds eclipsing 3k hits and like 5 HR shy of 800.

    The A's just released Elvis Andrus in the midst of a 2 WAR season, good baserunner (although not fast at all anymore), still plays a passable SS, and league average hitting although the statcast numbers don't really love him. Feels like they just gift wrapped a contender a capable bench infielder with experience for the league min.
  21. Orgfiller
    And yet he's never had issues in the majors or minors giving up hard contact. He's also a 25 year old reliever, why on earth would anyone expect his velo to dip any time soon? Julian Merryweather is 30 and made of glass and yet his velocity has never decreased. Even SP and injury risk Ryu barely saw his velocity dip into his 30s, but 25 year old RP Zach Pop will and suddenly become BP, sure.
  22. Orgfiller
    Yankees-Red Sox has been a pretty good series. Both teams look awful right now but it's made for an entertaining series.
  23. Orgfiller
    Once again, nobody f***ing cares. This is a thread about non Blue Jays baseball from around the league.
  24. Orgfiller
    So Scott Effross is just a less interesting Adam Cimber.
  25. Orgfiller
    Eric Hosmer is so f***ing bad.
