    Yarbrough is just about reaching Schlittler’s pitch count now.

    3 quick outs after the lead off walk, beautiful.

    Gausman is in control tonight. Cruising along efficiently.

    Stating the obvious here, but we desperately need to win at least 1. Getting swept would be a nightmare, winning 1 ensures we're still 2 games ahead, winning 2 puts us in the driver's seat, and a glorious sweep would just about ensure the Yankees aren't winning the division and skyrocket our division odds.

    Incredibly topical article: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/cristian-javier-is-back-but-at-what-cost/ He's throwing more pitches now, but his command is all over the place. He was never a command artist to begin with, but post surgery as with most pitchers it's taking a bit to come back.

    Obviously in an ideal scenario France is sitting and Lukes replaces him in the lineup, but with Vlad needing extra days off the field this is the most logical lineup to go with. And at least France has been cromulent for us, with a 128 wRC+ fueled by a high BABIP and a lot of HBP. Seriously, on the season he has 22 BB to go along with 21 HBP. It's a legitimate on base strategy for him. His BB rate is a rather poor 4.8%, but if you combine it with HBP his BB + HBP rate is an absurd 9.3% on the season.

    Cheers for posting it lol

    Can you imagine how horrendous the catchers of back then would have been? They're also probably catching pitches thrown at max like 75-85 mph? So significantly easier to steal back then. Sluggers of the past like Ruth and Gehrig both had 100+ career SBs, Jimmy Foxx had 87, for example.

    You simply couldn't be an MLB pitcher with both bad stuff and poor location/command/control. It's kind of how the inverse to this scenario is true, if you sort by worst Location+, you'll notice it's mostly a list of good Stuff+ guys. If you're to survive at least on the brink of a roster spot, you either need good enough stuff, or good enough location, or obviously both if you're to be a mainstay. Anyone who is bad at both would not get an extended look.

    Willy Adames might well break the Giants' 30 HR season drought/curse. Has two today to bring his season total to 24. On a technicality, Rafael Devers is likely to also hit 30 on the season - already at 27 - but half would have come from his time on the Red Sox which goes against the spirit of truly breaking the drought. Nobody has hit 30 for them since Barry Bonds in 2004.

    Andres Gimenez quietly has a .332 xwOBA, 49th percentile which is not too shabby for a player who otherwise produces a lot of value from his glove and baserunning. With some better batted ball luck we'd probably be looking at a 2+ win player in less than half a season's worth of games. Projections still buy him as being a roughly average to just below average hitter. Even at his worst offensive level he's a near 3 win player, with projections seeing him closer to a 3.5-4 WAR true talent.

    Nice to see low BB (for their standards) starts from Manoah and Yesavage. Fernando Perez really going under the radar, at least to me. 21 years old in AA means he's a legit prospect.
  13. Orgfiller
    Random Tim Mayza sighting in the first clip. Was almost confused on what kind of highlight I was about to witness.
  14. Orgfiller
    lol Keaschall, not gonna get away with taking two obvious strikes twice in a row.
  15. Orgfiller
    Small broken bone sound uhh...not great. Hopefully we can keep Ernie out for a few games and PH with Schneider as necessary. Unclear how long this kind of thing takes to heal.
  16. Orgfiller
    The thing about a nasty bullpen with iffy command is, as sliderguy points out, that they're gonna have stretches where they're unhittable and stretches where they're walking the park. You can't tell me you'd rather have a bullpen of command artists that in theory induces lots of weak contact, because the ceiling isn't as high on those kinds. We saw those types of mediocre stuff bullpens in the past and everyone called for the FO to go for swing and miss. Come the playoffs, if the bullpen core gets out of this funk, you have a bunch of relievers who can strike any hitter out regardless of the handedness. That kind of group can get you very far in the playoffs, just takes a little bit of luck going your way the same as any other championship winning squad. Everything has to be clicking at the same time, and when it clicks for guys with good stuff for a week or two they're very tough to hit.

    This is such a silly post but I'll entertain it. Usually the starters moving to the bullpen for the postseason are guys who have really good stuff. I don't know if Berrios or Eric Lauer with their kitchen sink arsenals, vetrin presents and traditional windups are what anyone has in mind as a fireman break glass in case of emergency reliever.
  18. Orgfiller
    Gage Stanifer with 3 consecutive 6 IP starts in Vancouver. What an incredible development story for the org and the farm.
  19. Orgfiller
    Amazing to see another strong start from Stanifer.
  20. Orgfiller
    I think unless Berrios regains his velocity a bit later in the year then it's a Bassitt + Lauer piggyback for SP4, totally agreed.
  21. Orgfiller
    Unsurprising to see the struggling Barger get a day off to reset mentally, but seeing Ernie at 3B with how brutal he's been at the plate lately sucks even more lol. Since his little 3-game HR surge, he's gone 3-40 with 1BB, including going 0-17 in his last 4 games.
  22. Orgfiller
    For all intents and purposes Lauer is basically still a starter. I very much doubt you'll see him come into the game out of the bullpen unless it's with the purpose of eating 3+ innings. So really you only have two lefties in Fluharty and Little to come into the game in leverage spots.
  23. Orgfiller
    For sure, but I just don't know if he's talented enough to really fix this? He's always had pedestrian to poor K/BB rates, and the GB/FB rates have been continually getting worse as he's moved up through the minors. He's not even a talked about as a lower tier prospect even though he has 70-80 grade raw power. Of course, I could eat my words if we let go of him and some other org unlocks that power consistently, it's just hard to envision.
  24. Orgfiller
    Rainer Nunez...now there's a worm killer! 58% GB rate lol, gross. If he could get his FB% rate from 20 to 40% he'd probably be a very legit prospect. Alas, I don't think he has the hit tool to make that sort of adjustment.
  25. Orgfiller
    Interesting, I looked into it and it's not like he's a worm killer or anything, always hovering around 44% GB rate which is nothing egregious. Does he just hit a bunch of like 5-10 degree line drives all over the field? Certainly doesn't seem like a broken profile or anything of that nature, someone just needs to work with him to up the pull rate and/or FB rate a little bit more. The raw power seems to be there even if he wants to drive balls the opposite way. And of course, there might not even be anything to "fix" so to speak, the xwOBA indicates he's probably just getting unlucky and is doing everything right. Keep doing you Piña!
