    IMO it should be relatively simple: Never let a pitcher use the challenge, always make it the catcher For hitters, if an egregious looking call is made you get a chance to use it, nothing you believe is borderline If not egregious, you're only allowed to make the call in a high leverage spot, no wasting challenges in the first inning with no one on base (looking at you, Vlad) Favour 2-strike challenges resulting in a strikeout over any other count Bad hitters may take a chance on a 3 ball count since that might be the best chance they get at getting on base

    Another 100 mph bullet from Myles Straw, this time for a base hit on a hit-and-run situation. The season is officially saved by Ross' astute last minute addition.
  3. Orgfiller
    Vlad just lost an ABS appeal on an obvious strike. He's definitely the type to burn both of ours by his first AB in the first inning.

    Myles Straw just hit a 350 foot sac fly at 100 mph off the bat. Our CF woes with Varsho out are resolved. 2021 Straw is back.

    Then the playoffs won't just be easy to make. They'll be easy to win.

    Not sure if you did anything different from other times, but this time it pasted seamlessly.

    I think he's too old and past his prime to realistically warrant a starting/part-time starting gig. Then again, he's still a free agent so maybe you've correctly identified why he remains unsigned this late into the offseason. He just made 1/$2.5M playing for the Pirates, but following a bounceback season of sorts for them I'd probably be willing to go to $4-5M for a one year deal.

    Grandal is a great option, but I fear his throwing woes are a legitimate reason as to why teams are shying away from him now that the running game is a big aspect once more. He was in the 1st percentile for pop time and CS Above Avg last season, and has been horrendous at this aspect going back to 2022. Really the only aspect you can anticipate him being good at is his framing, as his blocking has varied from playable to downright awful these last few years. Of course, beggars can't be choosers, a switch hitter with enough bat still left to play, over a decade of catching experience and respect from his peers would make for an ideal backup to Kirk, one that can speak Spanish at that. The remaining options in free agency are extremely bleak.

    Wasn't back issues the main cause of Yelich's performance decline? Almost wonder if him selling out for power more - extremely successfully of course - took a toll on his body.
  10. Orgfiller
    Probably a bit much having a separate GDT for every ST game, particularly with not all of them being televised/on the home broadcast.
  11. Orgfiller
    Prospect watch with Orelvis at 3B, Roden at RF, Schreck at LF. Aside from that Leo Jimenez is at SS.
  12. Orgfiller
    Kasevich is an interesting guy to follow. His floor is all given by how playable he is at SS. As noted, he's a big guy with an okay arm, so if that means he eventually has to move to a more offensively demanding position like 3B it could really limit his utility. It's encouraging to see that his exit velos aren't quite as bleak as his power output indicates. Whether that means he can dramatically alter his swing to tap into more power or simply give him a higher floor as a high contact, hard lines drives type remains to be seen. If the defense at SS is good he probably profiles as a decently high probability 2 WAR type of guy.
  13. Orgfiller
    Francis' stuff looks decent, fastball velo held up well, good command of his pitches. Only one swing and miss however. Interesting to note that he featured his slider 30% of the time, mostly against RHH. This was a pitch he hardly used in 2024 so might be something he's working on to add depth to his arsenal.
  14. Orgfiller
    Nobody ever give Max Scherzer the ability to review balls and strikes lol. He's made some egregious calls in this outing. He's absolutely fooling some of the Cards' young hitters. 4 Ks, fastball looks solid and the rest of the arsenal looks like vintage post-prime Mad Max. Didn't see a single fastball below 92. So at worst it doesn't look as if the velo has declined relative to last season, and it's only the first outing in February.

    Thanks again for running this series Pendleton. A pleasure to follow along reminiscing on Blue Jays history as we pass the final dog days of winter.
  16. Orgfiller
    The biggest thing for Martinez, much like other young options like Wagner and Roden, is the defensive utility. If Orelvis could play a passable 3B I have no doubts he would be on the roster to begin the year. As it stands they've trying to hide him in 2B, and with Gimenez in the fold it's not a great look for his path to PT. A DH at 23 years old is tough to just put him on the roster.
  17. Orgfiller
    Scherzer looking pretty good in his first competitive pitches in blue. Sitting 92-93, reached back for 94 on a couple of occasions. Displayed the majority of his arsenal, mostly fastballs but showed slider, curveball, cutter and changeup. Two Ks. Loperfido took a scary hit against the wall playing defense. Running back on the ball, he stumbled and ended up tripping neck first into the CF padding. Had to leave the game for precautionary measures, moving his neck on the way out.

    If you remove the PA qualifier to 0 this actually adds 10 more names to the list in front of Vlad. Also I f***ing love not only that the table copies so neatly, but it keeps all the hyperlinks to guy's pages. This new forum rocks. Should be noted that Vlad is the second worst defender in this sample behind Kyle Schwarber, and is the 11th worst baserunner behind mostly 30+ year old catchers, old 1B, Alejandro Kirk, and Yandy Diaz.
  19. Orgfiller
    Soto has over double the career WAR that Vladdy has. Career wRC+ of 158 vs Vlad's 137. Career worst season was 3.7 WAR with a 146 wRC+, Vlad's (one year ago btw) was 1 WAR with a 118 wRC+. He's also a better baserunner - bad nonetheless, but not league worst - and defender - also bad, but not league worst. Soto is at least a tier above Vladdy. He rakes at a level of an all-time great, at his worst he's better than an average Vlad season.

    Meniscus tear would be a couple of months out at least no? At least if it requires surgery.
  21. Orgfiller
    Kirk always looks better in ST. If he wasn't so short and stubby he would look a lot more athletic. In the vids of him working out in the offseason and stuff he always looks to be in decent shape, he's just not particularly fit for a professional athlete.
  22. Orgfiller
    Nah it shows up but I think it also copies the formatting, so when you're in dark mode it's black font on a black background so you can hardly read it. This is what it looks like to other people reading your post on dark mode:

    I think it also makes it more likely that he opts out and gets the deal he always wanted next winter. 3/90 is a reasonable guarantee for him but it gives him the option to pull a Matt Chapman and get that cushy multi-year deal on his terms without the QO attached,
  24. Orgfiller
    TIL Carlos thinks Nick Kurtz is the next Freddie Freeman.
  25. Orgfiller
    If 29 year old Yoan Moncada is getting 1/$5MM then I can't see JDM topping this number honestly.
