  1. I don’t think automatic outs are hitting 380 foot flyballs often.
  2. It's definitely because of Manoah, Kikuchi, and Manoah's replacement conglomerate. The top 3 are all innings eating workhorses. The only one who routinely gets pulled "too early" is probably Kikuchi and he's always one hitter away from a complete meltdown so it's pretty justified.
  3. See for yourself: https://youtu.be/wxQ02IkEB6o?t=1260
  4. The interest definitely, the price he ended up going for didn’t however.
  5. Good for Bellinger I guess, but talk to me when his xwOBA is within even 20 points of his actual. Lower avg EV, max EV, barrel rate, hard hit rate than Daulton Varsho. Similar LD, GB, FB rates, slightly below but still high IFFB rate. I think his whole offensive performance is a mirage except for maybe his K rate getting back to career norms. The power is gone, regress his BABIP and he comes out looking pretty mediocre. His statcast page is that of a less toolsy Kiermaier lol.
  6. How come? Robert has a reputation as a good defender and the metrics back it up. Exceptional athlete with good instincts, just happens to be injured all the time.
  7. It's laughable how much better the outfield defense is in comparison with just a season ago. Springer looks like Teoscar or Gurriel in comparison to KK and Varsho, and only a year ago he was the only saving grace because those two butchers were his partners on the corners.
  8. Why would the White Sox even want to keep Eloy Jimenez? A 26 year old DH-only who gets injured all the time can only become less valuable the longer you hold on to him. And he's not even left handed to give him a small boost in value.
  9. Nobody is treating Pearson as an asset at this point in time. The stuff is good but every team has 2 or 3 of those guys in their orgs, he’s not a high end reliever as of now, at least until he really hones in his command to get the most out of his stuff.
  10. Moreno isn't even that good of a blocker either, he's only at 1 Blocks Above Average on baseballsavant, 27th in the league. Ol' Kirky on the other hand continues to be a complete vacuum, 2nd in the league with 8 despite not even having as many opportunities as anyone around him. He's an excellent thrower, but that currently appears to be his only measurable plus-plus skill, which certainly isn't a bad one to have, but there's more to catcher defense than throwing out runners.
  11. With Gausman scuffling relative to his standards today, I think Swanson's stuff might have actually played up this time. The fastball is a bit slower and maybe their swings are a little quick from trying to time 96-98, and the splitter is similarly nasty, if his command was any better he would've just presented a weird challenge in adjustment. Maybe that's what there is to it with them always going to Swanson after Gausman, they're so similar but at a different look and velo that perhaps it just messes with hitter's timing. Or the ace just gets us into good winning positions and Swanson is our second best reliever who usually comes in during these spots anyway.
  12. I think Brownie is being flippant. Seems like he's gone full doomer to match the energy around the board these days, not sure if he's legitimately gone off the deep end yet.
  13. Lyle Overbay.
  14. Jason Heyward is really giving credence to the “it’s incredibly hard” quote from Ron Washington about playing first base. My god he looks like a little leaguer over there.
  15. This is his whole career though. Gausman prior to 2020 was an average starter, from then onwards he's among the elites. I would guess his numbers are much better since.
  16. The elite starters usually tend to. Now obviously Bassitt isn't one of those guys, but that consistency really is quite remarkable from him. Also explains how he's able to get into the 7th inning so often, he can really mix it up.
  17. He only has 75 PAs. Some prospect publications will use PA/IP thresholds to determine when a guy has graduated, others will use MLB's own active roster time (like O'Hoppe will have) for rookie eligibility to determine this.
  18. Well, to a certain extent it is him. Of his 87 hits, 70 are singles and 1 homerun, so he's scored himself twice. He also 19 walks to go along with it. So you take a guy who almost always is on first, and is a slow + bad baserunner, and you're not going to score a lot of runs. Look at Kirk and Belt, high OBP guys but incredibly slow/brutal baserunners. 17 and 13 runs scored respectively. Kiermaier has scored 26 times, Merrifield 28. Those are guys without a lot of power, but they're aggressive runners who get themselves extra bases with their speed through hustle or base stealing.
  19. 80 pitches through 8.
  20. Bassitt is incredibly efficient. Consistently gets us through the 7th, 72 pitches through 7 right now lol. Guy’s a workhorse.
  21. Who f***ing cares if he has two pitches. So does Gausman and he's unhittable. Manoah was fine when he was averaging 94 with a good sinker and a filthy slider. It's not a lack of development from what was already working, it's a regression of all of his stuff.
  22. Because he never needed it lol. He was a 4 WAR pitcher whose biggest flaw is he hit a few too many hitters. His stuff or mechanics got worse, it's not like the league caught up with his stuff. He just simply got worse, Manoah straight out of college was a significantly better pitcher than the one we've seen this year.
