Vlad is ABSURD. -
Did you see Scherzer's numbers coming into this start? He's fine, still very good and far from done.
-
If Bengie Molina did it, Kirk can do it too.
-
Castro!!! I thought they had no chance turning 2 on Robles.
-
The best part of this W-L nonsense is it's coming in a thread where the starting pitcher Ryu dominated the Rays for 3.2 IP but had to be talen out unexpectedly. Okay, maybe he didn't "deserve" to get the win because the bullpen had to pick up the slack. So which one of the relievers who pitched the bulk of the remaining 5.1 IP got the win? Tim Mayza, who got 1 out and gave up two singles the next inning leaving the tying and go-ahead runs on base with nobody out for Tyler Chatwood to clean up the mess, who also didn't get the win.

So at what point do just stop caring about pitcher's duels? When Jacob deGrom pitches a complete game with 15 strikeouts and no walks is that boring because the ball was hardly put in play? Corbin Burnes who has turned into an elite pitcher dueled with Trevor Rogers, who might also be very good, for 5 innings, they combined for 16 of these 25 strikeouts, and Burnes actually started getting BABIP'd in the 6th inning for a bunch of singles which turned into runs. I can at least understand why people aren't fans of every reliever coming out of the bullpen throwing mid-high 90s with a devastating breaking ball - although these guys all being good is far overstated - but when it's two good young starters going head to head and dominating opposing lineups is that a problem too? The Marlins scored 8 runs!
-
And when Jacob deGrom finishes with a 10-9 record or 11-8 or peak Felix Hernandez has a 13-12 or 14-14 record at the end of the season what does that tell you? Were they simply not "winners"?
-
Mike Trout is 4-4 lol, and honestly most of it has been on some of the weakest contact he's had in years.
-
Elite Orioles closer Cesar Valdez finishes the Yankees. I'm only like half joking when I say that, Valdez has been legitimately incredible since last season. It's basically a RHP version of Tommy Milone, the sinker/changeup combo has been unhittable and he doesn't walk anyone.
-
This is so unfair.
-
Jordan Lyles is getting f***ing hammered.
-
Not two of the quintessential Trout hits but similar results.
-
Well at least he does that well lol. That was a missile into the RF corner.
-
He's not close.
-
This is a nightmare for LA since in taking him out you're losing one of your best hitters and the pitchers have to hit going forward.
-
Ohtani has had awful command all year long.
-
Good start for Deivi Garcia against the Orioles.
-
It's the opposite for me. I think Gleyber is far more valuable IRL as a MIF - even a poor defensive one - while being younger and less injury prone (I think?). Meadows has an extensive injury history going back to his minor league career and he's basically a DH. I'd lean Gleyber for those reasons alone but I think it's close as well. If this is a redraft though I might take the Meadows side for this year.
-
Biggio has been worth 3.7 WAR over 176 games, I don't know what your definition of special is but that's a very good player. The Blue Jays probably don't give a s*** what his last name is as long as he's a good player.
-
Did the Rays just get out of the inning after getting 2 outs? What the hell just happened?
-
It's frustrating how our talented young players are prioritized over the one dimensional 1B/DH? Am I reading this right?
-
Kiermaier knows he didn't have to jump for that. *******.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2021)
Orgfiller replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Salvador Perez is statistically one of the worst defensive catchers in the league. Since 2016 he's the fifth worst defensive catcher among those qualified. Runners stealing is largely on the pitchers. -
Yeah I can't disagree with this. Visually deGrom appears like the most dominant pitcher I've ever seen. However, peak Kershaw had maybe the best slider in history, a wipeout curve and pinpoint command of all his pitches, and with the benefit of future knowledge we know that his fastball-slider tunneling was basically untouchable.
-
I think you guys are really selling Kershaw short here. 2013-16 Kershaw had 30 fWAR and 31.7 RA9-WAR since he's always outperformed his DIPS. Peak Kershaw wasn't pumping 101 in the late innings like this freak of nature but he had two of the best breaking balls in MLB history with even better command so I think peak wise he's definitely there with deGrom, if not better. 2016 Kershaw was in the midst of putting up a 9+ WAR season. With that said I don't think I've ever seen a starter with stuff this outlandish in my lifetime. If deGrom had this stuff coming out of the bullpen with no extra added velocity he'd still be the best reliever in the game easily, that he's able to do this for 7+ innings at a time is unheard of.
