  1. Lukes just hit a .900 xBA ball for an out 👍 Sick f***ing game.
  2. First AB of the next inning is a line drive right at someone. Just one of those games thus far.
  3. Rays are blooping and groundballing us to death. Incredibly frustrating.
  4. Probably used an LLM to generate half, if not much more of the article. And then couldn't even do the bare minimum in proofreading it lol. Embarrassing.
  5. Since the previous scorecard got so much attention, I'm sure this one will be similarly received:
  6. That was an unreal play from Simpson who is statistically one of the worst outfield defenders in the league, because of course.
  7. I feel like they don't need to take a week off, and the division odds are about as high as the making the playoffs odds. So while I'd probably save the celebration for clinching the division, I don't think I would blame them for celebrating just clinching a spot and then giving the regulars a day off to get over the celebration hangover. There's no 40-man expanded rosters, so it's not like we'll be throwing junk AAAA guys out there if we give some regulars a day off all at once.
  8. Ah yes, connorp's theory that there's generational defenders just rotting away in the minors because they can't hit too good.
  9. Andres Gimenez already has 3 OAA at SS lol. The bat has been disappointing, and in his defense he's been underperforming his xwOBA as much as anyone, but by god if he isn't an absolutely special infield defender. The projections still think he's closer to league average than to the bat he's been the last couple of seasons, and honestly he might be a 4.5-5 WAR player if he's just a 95-100 wRC+ bat. There's more value to be added with his legs in a fully healthy year, and he's very much still in his prime years so the bat shouldn't be a complete lost cause.
  10. Bassitt’s command is kind of all over the place, but at least he’s not missing down the middle. It’s definitely effectively wild right now.
  11. If the Blue Jays were a Disney channel sitcom set in the 90s?
  12. Fun video recap on Gausman's outstanding outing by former longtime pitcher Adam Ottavino: I've found watching Ottavino breakdown pitchers to be pretty interesting. He knows a lot beyond the usual former player cliches, he talks about both old and new school approaches to pitching, understands tunneling, effective velo, what makes good movement on a pitch or not, but explains it in a very digestible manner for someone who's not an expert on it. Honestly could make a good future pitching coach or pitching coordinator, which I'm sure is somewhat of a goal in having this channel and reviewing this kind of film for public consumption to put himself out there. As a fun little extra, he also did a breakdown for Bieber's first start back from injury in Miami: https://youtu.be/YRrkummds_0?si=Tii9quQ6NnaH4lWy
  13. He has a lot of silverware which will help his case even if he limps in the back half of his 30s.
  14. CGSO on the 100th pitch, poetic. What a masterful performance.
  15. Too bad, with a normal defensive alignment that's the Maddux right there.
  16. Maddux in jeopardy, but we'll settle for a CGSO.
  17. Tarik Skubal did, a 13 K Maddux earlier this season where he hit 103 on the gun on his last pitch of the game in the 9th inning. https://www.mlb.com/news/tarik-skubal-strikes-out-13-in-maddux-for-first-complete-game
  18. One of the rare guys where the defensive stats say they're fine, average at worst if not just barely above, but by god does the eye test make him look like a butcher out there. Just horrific misplay one after another this game.
  19. Jesus Sanchez is f***ing atrocious in the outfield, my god.
  20. For a non 1-year deal probably. Ray and Semien were insane value deals, but it's much harder to hit on a multi-year deal, particularly a $100M+ contract.
  21. Gausman is pitching like an absolute ace right now. Best time for him to be at the top of his game.
  22. Scheduled Davis Schneider bomb after being ignored on the bench for a week lol
  23. If he's doinking little hits into the outfield his xwOBA is still going to look good, whether that's a skill that he possesses and we should expect that moving forward is a separate issue. He has a .456 BABIP, there's just no sugarcoating that he's been getting incredibly lucky, his avg exit velo is a pretty woeful 87.5 mph. This is for a guy whose scouting report says that he has a poor hit tool but good raw power. So his success isn't even evidenced by who he's supposed to be as a player, and I'm not really buying that he's made meaningful adjustments to become a better overall hitter, sacrificing power for contact, given his AAA performance. Maybe him cutting his K rate has actually made him worse as a hitter, since he's not looking to do damage as often.
  24. Probably the most under the radar player in the league (for obvious reasons): Hunter Goodman. Reached 30 HR last night, up to 3.3 WAR on the season. Mediocre but not bad C defense. Rare development win for the Rockies? He's only 25 years old so he essentially makes up the entirety of their core, depending on how you feel about Jordan Beck and Ezequiel Tovar.
  25. The Ty France acquisition proving its worth once again. Vladdy getting tips from the master at it.
