    Seems about right to me. Voth being signed and recalled along with Mantiply in favour of a guy like Chase Lee definitely signaled they wanted him to eat some innings and then they'd DFA one. Mantiply at least has decent projections and is a lefty so he's not going anywhere right now.

    Okamoto.

    My rough assumption based on no info is he's a pop up, lab grown guy. 23 years old and not even being in the NPB minor leagues while throwing 97 raises some serious eyebrows. I'm just going to assume he was barely cracking 90 a year and a half ago, then decided to invest in himself and went to these newfangled pitching labs and reinvented himself from scratch. He may even have declined offers from NPB teams in order to transition to the MLB more quickly. Once guys are in the NPB they need to play a minimum of 9 seasons to be able to become international FAs without restrictions, or go the Roki Sasaki route where you have to beg your team to post you. This opens up a path for him to make the MLB while still in his prime.

    I don't know about being back lol. His fastball velo is down to 94.7, which is down from 95.4 last season and 96.6 from the one before that. The slider is unsurprisingly following a similar trend. The fangraphs Stuff+ on his fastball is 102 which for a reliever might be below average, and his slider Stuff+ is at 92. He also has a brutal Location+ of 80. He's cooked.
  5. Orgfiller
    Maybe? In his first start the Stuff+ on fangraphs had it as a 124 offering, with all offerings above 123 for a total Stuff+ rating of 127. The location was very poor though. TJStats gave his fastball a 115 tjStuff+ in start #1, overall stuff+ a 110, both better than any previous year. In start #2 thus far, the fastball had a 113 rating and the overall stuff 111. The whiff rate was horrible on it though, only 1 in 32 swings against. The swings and misses came on the cutter (slider?) and splitter. Two starts might be around enough pitches to be able to make some conclusions relative to previous years, although I don't know if there's a factor of keeping up that stuff as the season progresses to really make proper conclusions on if he's gotten better overall.

    Taj Bradley is firing bullets for the Twins. Fastball averaging 97 with a nasty looking splitter. Swing and miss not too noteworthy in this game, but the conditions at Kauffman are not great with a ton of wind. Only just turned 25, notable former prospect who's gotten Ks before but mediocre results. Could this be the year he finally breaks out, or is he another guy in the mold of Shane Baz who can only pitch 4-5 effective innings before it all unravels with a third look by the hitters?
  7. Orgfiller
    He now has 10 strikeouts on 16 batters faced so the K-rate is now 62.5%. He also unsurprisingly has a negative xFIP.
  8. Orgfiller
    Pretty obvious that Varland isn't available, so Little was the only real option with Estrada being more of an innings eater. Nance being s*** is what screwed us in this game.
  9. Orgfiller
    This middle infield duo is magical. What a play.
  10. Orgfiller
    Ugh, Kirk's been a groundball machine to begin the year. Rough start for him offensively.
  11. Orgfiller
    What the hell was that challenge from Kirk. That was obvious and only on the first pitch of the AB. Baffling.
  12. Orgfiller
    Early start time today - April 1 @ 1:07 EST versus LHP Kyle Freeland Springer (1) Schneider (3) - Jonn, Orgfiller Vlad (1) Kaz(2) Kirk (3) Clement (3) Sanchez (2) Straw (5) Gimenez (3) Bench (10) - mphenhef
  13. Orgfiller
    Bo Bichette is 26/27 btw ^
  14. Orgfiller
    STOP THE COUNT
  15. Orgfiller
    Okamoto rules.
  16. Orgfiller
    It seems like they’re respecting Okamoto’s ability to hit velocity, lots of breaking pitches there which I don’t think he was expecting. He’ll adjust as the season moves along.
  17. Orgfiller
    The 3-0 HR from the other day not good enough for you?
  18. Orgfiller
    Sweet swing from Sanchez. Come on Vlad, wake up bro.
  19. Orgfiller
    These line drive outs are killing us. We have a .312 xBA but nothing to show for it.
  20. Orgfiller
    To me, Clement is the definition of when announcers go on about having “quick hands”. He’s able to transfer and fire with the best of them.
  21. Orgfiller
    He’s so good. Smooth and in control at all times. Such a breath of fresh air after years of Bo lol.
  22. Orgfiller
    Yeah but he was 22 in A and A+ and a physical specimen, if he didn't do well there then he likely would have been released right there and then. Big difference in a teenager who has room to grow physically vs a 3-year college player that's basically maxed out. The latter pretty much have to perform right away, since the low minors - especially in Judge's day pre minor leagues contraction - was a similar level or sometimes worse than the college one.
  23. Orgfiller
    Give me Gimenez for today. Would do the copy/paste thing but not sure if the points have changed.
  24. Orgfiller
    Followed it up by hitting a moonshot to pretty straight CF on a 99 mph heater.
  25. Orgfiller
    Probably didn't need to tell anyone this who watched the game, but Cody Ponce shoved. The whiff rate lol - 15 swings and misses on 47 total pitches is absurd. Please be not seriously injured king 🙏
