  1. Was that a f***ing changeup? Chapman just casually brought out a filthy offspeed out of nowhere to Kirk.
  2. Jesus f***ing Christ he threw an awful hitter with power a fastball down the pipe on a 1-2 count. f*** me.
  3. Hell yeah Vladdy, that's the stuff.
  4. This implies that Springer isn't also a solid defender, which is far from the case. DRS and OAA think he's firmly above average, and UZR thinks he's roughly average/slightly above. He'll be average at worst for probably 2-3 more years barring injuries. He's an excellent player.
  5. Innings. Here's the innings a 3rd time through the order for the top candidates: deGrom: 14 IP Darvish: 18.2 IP Bauer: 20.1 IP Burnes: 7.1 IP Burnes is also the only guy who hasn't started each of his games. It's a short season, so I'm gonna cherry pick. He has the worst K-BB% of the group - not by much mind you, but we are splitting hairs after all - and no amount of "lol xFIP is a dinosaur stat" is gonna make me believe that he isn't getting lucky on homeruns allowed when last season he suffered the exact opposite fate with the same stuff and similar K/BB.
  6. To be honest, I'm not in love with Fried's K/BB rates, but his contact quality has been superb and after watching his starts that's probably no fluke, though ironically it came in a season in which he's decreased his curve spin relative to the league so it could actually be influenced by luck/randomness. I love that Kershaw is elite again, best pitcher of our generation.
  7. I'd be fine with any of Darvish, deGrom and Bauer winning it. Burnes may have been the best on a per inning basis (although he's gotten very lucky on homeruns allowed) but will have a lot fewer innings than the others in an already short season which I think should count for something. I think I'd give it to deGrom again, he's IMO the best/most dominant pitcher of the group and having a 3rd consecutive Cy Young would be awesome and totally deserved. If I had a ballot it'd be: 1. deGrom 2A. Darvish 2B. Bauer 4. Burnes 5. Lamet
  8. Well so much for the knuckleball gimmick lol. If the pitch starts to look anywhere like a major league pitch it's going to get destroyed.
  9. Not exactly uncommon, but Vlad has by far the two hardest hit balls this game. Unfortunately they were both groundballs lol, but at least they weren't pounded directly into the ground so silver linings.
  10. Usually every pitcher out of the Yankees bullpen, even the bad ones, is a fireballer or has nasty stuff. This guy is not one of them.
  11. How does Luis Rivera make that send lol? We'll certainly take it, Frazier made a really loopy throw home.
  12. Lmao Gary Sanchez is awful.
  13. Outstanding job from Cole.
  14. Can we start shifting Lemahieu the other way? I swear he gets minimum 2-3 hits the other way every single game against us. Put Gurriel in the hole or something.
  15. The Yankees are playing Little League defense lol. Tanaka looks pissed.
  16. Looks like Kirk lit a fire under Jansen's ass. Great problem to have!
  17. Ray is basically alternating between being unhittable and not knowing where the ball is going from hitter to hitter.
  18. That's basically as good of a groundball as you can hit lol. Sharp but not routine by any means.
  19. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-sets-playoff-bubbles-schedule-neutral-site-locations-and-everything-else-to-know-for-2020-postseason/
  20. It's the latter. For the first round all games are played in the higher seed's park, everything after that is in the bubble cities.
  21. Gurriel doesn't always get the best reads but at least he finishes the play a good deal of the time it seems.
  22. Vlad wreaking HAVOC on the bases. 200 IQ plays.
  23. Not the hardest hit ball but those little bloop line drives have a higher xBA than most of his crushed groundballs.
  24. When the alternative is any of Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion or Josh Donaldson, yes, significantly.
