  1. I think from the way he reacted with his arm becoming lame immediately it looked to me like it was shoulder or elbow. Him touching his neck might've been the nerve acting up or something. Either way I think it's not good at all.
  2. Clearly an arm injury and may have been his elbow. That's f***ing brutal.
  3. You can't just throw the same pitch all the time or they'll adjust, Chapman is no slouch and can hit the fastball if he's looking for it. Slider was just left over the plate and a good hitter made him pay, if it's below the zone it might have been a strikeout.
  4. Jansen came into the league as a good hitting catcher with average defense. He raked in the minors in '17 and '18 at age appropriate levels for a catcher and then hit well in a brief stint in the majors. He spent the offseason working to improve his defense to elite levels and has never recovered as a hitter. There were signs he wasn't quite that bad in 2020 as his xwOBA was 52 points higher than his actual so there was hope he could yet turn it around. This year though his batted ball profile went to s*** and he's not hitting the ball with any authority, which is extremely concerning. The only positives remaining is he walks a fair bit and doesn't swing and miss a ton for how bad he's been. But when he makes contact it is pathetic right now. Why would Kirk not be the answer? Have you seen him hit?
  5. This umpire has been dogshit. Bo and Vlad robbed.
  6. I don't think the league figured him out so much as he just completely forgot how to hit or lost whatever strength he used to have to drive the baseball.
  7. Thornton's velo has been way down this season. He also throws a ton of cutters, but he used to sit 92-93 as a starter and now he basically tops out at 93 out of the bullpen.
  8. Much like Matz yesterday, Kay wasn't all that bad outside one inning and a handful of pitches. His bigger issue was missing outside the strikezone whereas Matz hung a few too many. The offspeed and breaking balls weren't particularly sharp which put the fastball, which I think looked pretty good most of the outing, in danger of being hit.
  9. It's the second inning and our bullpen is dead. We need him to eat it for at least 3-4 innings.
  10. Did you read the title of the graph? And not really, infield singles are on average probably hit much softer. Hit it a bit harder and the fielder has enough time to make a play. That's why there's a valley, there's a sweet spot between hitting it softly enough for a bloop/crappy hit and hitting it hard but not hard enough to give the defense time to get to the ball and make a play.
  11. Murphy had an unreal block the pitch before and Trivino decided to test how far he would go lol.
  12. If you're wondering how an outfielder can look that stupid on a line drive, 110 mph opposite field is how.
  13. I know he has a couple of strikeouts in this game but in his defense he got completely screwed over by the umpire in the last AB. When the zone expands that much hitters are bound to start swinging at garbage.
  14. People watching these games get just as upset if not more when something bad happens and when a guy who is directly involved in the outcome shows passion they get s*** for it. Sometimes when a player is struggling and they're shown laughing on the bench with their teammates (like Vlad has in the past) they get criticized for it too. There's no winning for them.
  15. Probably have to dig through the logs of Sean Doolittle and Jake McGee appearances.
  16. In the heat of the moment Montoyo's decision to pull him might have been the catalyst but I think it's pretty clear he was mad at himself. He knows it wasn't a good start and it ended on a poor note.
  17. Guys are allowed to be mad at themselves after poor starts? Certainly not the first pitcher to react like this and won't be the last.
  18. The knee jerk reaction is very much comparable. Both are stupid statements, one more so than the other.
  19. 6 strikeouts and 1 walk in 5 innings but okay. So he hung a few pitches, s*** happens. Matz is perfectly fine.
  20. Weren't you also the one who said Scherzer was done in his last start?
