    God damn Biggio is a vacuum out there. He's making it look easy.
  2. Orgfiller
    It's Spring so I'm not going to look too much into it but he's looked uncomfortable against the lefties in this game.
  3. Orgfiller
    Lol @ the broadcast praising Brogdon for throwing s***** changeups that miss inside.
  4. Orgfiller
    Wtf was that slide by Springer? Please be careful George.
  5. Orgfiller
    Remember when people said Biggio wouldn't have the arm for third?
  6. Orgfiller
    Most of these Spring broadcasts are awful jeez. Great play by Biggio btw.
  7. Orgfiller
    "Rye-you" lol

    Not sure if that was intentional judging by Jansen's glove position but nice to see Matz go with a high 4-seamer for the K.

    Dear god, even if the gun is hot that's still him sitting like 95 which would put it at the high end of where the velocity was in his best years with the DBacks. Skeptical of that 91 mph slider though, is that a new power slider type pitch that he's going with or did a hard changeup just escape and got mislabeled? I'd probably bet on the latter.

    Vlad at 27 is an egregious drop. That's a steal and a half, he's literally one launch angle adjustment away from becoming a top 5 offensive contributor for a decade. Let me guess, I bet multiple pitchers went before him.
  11. Orgfiller
    Performance aside - although obviously this will be a big factor - it's going to depend on the usual evaluation criteria for pitchers. Can he stay healthy, can he go deep into games/maintain his stuff deep into starts, and how does his third pitch develop? Manoah is probably an MLB ready dominant 1-2 inning reliever if he wanted him to be right now, but as far as I'm aware he didn't really show his changeup too much this spring and like every other pitcher his appearances were short so we don't really know if he's capable of going 6+ strong innings while not losing much efficiency of his stuff and going through the lineup multiple times without getting shelled.

    3 years, he's a FA for the 2023-24 offseason.

    This seems like a foolish stance to take. So he looked (very) good in a handful of ST innings. He's still an unproven pitcher, we don't even know if he can cut it as a starter yet! Castillo is an elite pitcher in his prime who we would have for three seasons under team control. Don't know if the difference in price between Castillo and Manoah is Groshans, but that should certainly be a conversation starter between the two teams.

    Some of them do suck or will suck, but two weeks of Spring Training data isn't going to be what determines that.
  15. Orgfiller
    He's 21 and hasn't played in two years, this goes without saying and shouldn't be that surprising. Torkelson has 12 strikeouts in 23 PAs. A lot of these guys haven't played competitive games in a while, it might take some time for them to find their groove again.
  16. Orgfiller
    Hatch immediately holds his forearm and is taken out of the game. Sigh, pitchers.
  17. Orgfiller
    Pretty sure both Nola and the last pitcher (Tony Watson?) thought they gave up bombs, just look at their reactions.
  18. Orgfiller
    Have you seen Nate's minor league numbers and what he did to the Rays in his brief showing in the playoffs? The potential is there to be that kind of pitcher. Obviously with his continued setbacks he's nowhere near that yet.
  19. Orgfiller
    LeBron already owns a part of Liverpool FC which is owned by FSG, so I think this is just formalizing that arrangement.
  20. Orgfiller
    Yes. The rules in ST are basically made up.
  21. Orgfiller
    92 as a RHP with a sinker and no other swing and miss stuff in today's MLB is...an unlikely combination to pan out.
  22. Orgfiller
    "And that's where Kevin Smith is." I'm no expert on our minor league players, but I'm pretty sure Kevin Smith isn't half black/latino.
  23. Orgfiller
    Meh, the rotation has depth but it's still obviously a weakness since it lacks quality. You have one elite pitcher in Ryu and then a million question marks. Robbie Ray projects well and will likely be much better than last season, but with his command variance that's still a decent number 2 at best, nothing compared to teams like the Dodgers, Padres, Mets, Yankees if healthy. Then after Ray is where you have a bunch of guys who may or may not suck. On the whole, it's probably reasonably likely that one of Matz, Roark, Stripling, Pearson will be good, but unlikely all of them are. And because they're pitchers, even the good ones are going to miss time, which is where the depth comes into play. So then you're stuck with having a dozen #5 type quality starters following a great pitcher and a good one, and Ryu has injury concerns himself so if he misses a couple of weeks throughout the season then the rotation looks brutal.
  24. Orgfiller
    Safe to say Orelvis Martinez wasn't seeing breaking balls of this quality in rookie ball lol.
  25. Orgfiller
    Van Eyck's stuff isn't bad, fastball at 93-95 (sitting 94) which has yet to be squared up, and the curve has alright movement although not sure if due to his lack of command it's not tunneling at all.
