  1. 108.8 mph on that rope from Bichette that bounced to the wall.
  2. Chris Bassitt for Cy Young? A lot of people are asking this question.
  3. Tough luck on not getting a run through, but his pitch count is through the roof.
  4. Rare pulled line drive on a fastball by Kirk.
  5. Teams are probably kicking themselves at not trading for Chris Bassitt in the offseason. This might be the best he's ever looked? He's putting up ace like production at the moment, and able to handle the innings and pitch count which are enviable in today's game. Of course, I'm assuming he was even available. But at his age and salary with the Jays going deep into the CBT thresholds, I gotta figure there were calls being made by the FO to inquire on his value around the league.
  6. Crazy when Dan lays out how good those A's teams were a few years ago. Matt Chapman, Matt Olson, Sean Murphy, Marcus Semien, Mark Canha. Chris Bassitt, Frankie Montas, Sean Manaea, Liam Hendriks on the pitching side. The FO and John Fisher made that franchise into a travesty.
  7. Nice AB from Santander, hung in there long enough and then poked it the other way with the empty hole.
  8. Bo lol, he was determined to swing at everything in that AB. Not really competitive pitches either.
  9. His fastball velo was down around 2 mph in his rehab assignment, so there's still some rust to work out. He won't be a walk in the park but this is as good a time to face him as any.
  10. I wonder if they'll demote him again. His 2B defense hasn't been good, and the K/BB is ghastly. 1 BB in 48 PAs. The ability to make good contact is there but just about everything else needs work.
  11. And the catalyst for the collapse was Kylometres Straw working a walk from down 0-2 in the count. Battled some foul balls, took some close pitches, and really tired the pitcher out. He wasn’t the same after, gave up the HR to Roden and multiple hard hit balls in a row.
  12. Myles Straw showing insane range there, happy to have him as the backup.
  13. Ok? Thanks for proving my point I guess.
  14. I appreciated the alley oop there. Or more topically, the clean flip to second.
  15. Yeah ironically he did exactly what we were complaining he wasn’t doing before lol. Two excellent swings today, an oppo gapper and a no doubter to RF.
  16. He’s got some filthy stuff, if only his command was more stable.
  17. Fluharty and Little go out there as fake LOOGYs and then dominate the righties while being incapable of retiring the lefties. 200 IQ by Schneider.
  18. Yeah and this lineup in particular is ass with those guys missing.
  19. Dude what is your obsession with the Braves lol. After Murphy it’s pretty mid. Their 6-9 is significantly worse than ours.
  20. Another 14 whiffs for Gausman tonight. Importantly, we saw some whiffs on the splitter this outing.
  21. Martin is a draft pick bust, but considering Pearson and Snider were both top 10 prospects at one point, in particular by the time they debuted, I think they still rank higher on the busts list. By the time Martin reached the MLB he was a 45 FV prospect with an okay hit tool, no power and an iffy defensive home. The book was out on him by his second professional season.
  22. Roden needs to start putting the ball in the air. He has a disgusting > 60% groundball rate, with a 10% line drive rate and a 30% IFFB rate. The ABs themselves haven't been poor and he's making contact, but he's not driving the ball at all. Seems like any pitch low in the zone is a recipe for a groundball, and on high pitches he's popping it up instead. You could at least live with a bit of a slap hitter if he turned a number of those ground balls into soft line drives into the outfield, but he's not doing that at the moment. He needs to work on his swing path badly.
  23. I actually think Clase's power potential isn't all that bad, it's whether he'll really get to it in games. In 2023 as a 21 year old he hit 20 HR with a .208 ISO, and in 2024 with Seattle's AAA affiliate he had 10 HR in 280 PAs with a .176 ISO before the trade. Fangraphs gave him a 50 raw power tool last season. He just hasn't gotten to that power in our org which unfortunately entirely adds up lol. He's quite the sleeper prospect, still hasn't even turned 23.
