  1. 99 to a disgusting splitter. Gausman isn’t f***ing around today.
  2. And then there's Verlander whose stuff just doesn't decline.
  3. The DBacks are really struggling to get much out of their pitching prospects this season. Pfaadt has given up 6 homers in 9.2 IP and is generally just getting completely destroyed lol, he's 1st percentile in just about Statcast metric. Hasn't struck anyone out, the fastball has a ton of spin (89th percentile) but it's coming in at an unsexy mediocre velo. Ryne Nelson and Drey Jameson are two others who are top 100 prospects coming into the season who have not debuted well at all. Corbin Carroll is at least a stud, but Alek Thomas kind of blows, Moreno has no power but is otherwise pretty good, and Geraldo Perdomo would be awful if he wasn't running a .455 BABIP, he's outproducing his xWOBA by 150 points. Certainly too early to call any of them busts, but not showing promising results early on. The downsides of prospects.
  4. Wheeler is no easy matchup, even with Gausman on the bump. Should be a good game.
  5. It was a good pitch the last two seasons. His fastball/sinker are still good. I don't know if it really is the pitch clock messing with his tempo, or he's been experimenting getting different shape out of the slider to become a better pitcher earlier in the season, but he really just needs to rediscover the slider from the last couple of years and he'll be back to being a dependable arm.
  6. Richards is the quintessential reliever. Dominant to unplayable at the flip of a switch.
  7. I could have played that ball better than Castellanos. He looks like a little leaguer out there.
  8. Richards can look absolutely dominant sometimes. That Bugs Bunny changeup was unhittable tonight.
  9. Belt has the 10th highest BA against 95+ this year believe it or not. Now, leaving Belt in against a tough lefty with his K struggles this year would've been pretty foolish.
  10. Disgusting change after some ugly swings at the fastballs. Trea Turner just got undressed.
  11. Okay? It's not like he said he's been the best pitcher in baseball.
  12. Schneider has made some good calls this game, just basically none of them have worked out. Pearson, Springer for Varsho, now Jansen for Belt. None of them could execute.
  13. Phils are honestly even lucky that hit Chapman, that would've missed so badly the runner from second might have scored.
  14. Out by a mile. Looked out live, looks clearly out on replay.
  15. Yup, much better inning there. Even had better command of the slider somewhat which allows the rest of his stuff to play up.
  16. Manoah doesn't have a single swing and miss this start yet. The slider is a total nonfactor with how bad his command of it is. So hitters can sit on the fastball/sinker all day.
  17. Well there's no real rush currently as things stand. Health has not yet been an issue to the rotation (*knock on wood) and performance has varied from god awful to elite to round out to average. The easy answer is they can currently afford to wait it out until a need arises, or if the clock runs out on his rehab then he just gets called up as the long man, 3-4 inning guy who takes over in a blowout or with a starter that needs to be taken out early but the team is still in it.
  18. I think he can do 2 inning stretches, but given the history this is not a guy you want to put a lot of mileage on. So if he’s actually good give him medium-high leverage 1-2 inning stretches with enough rest and prevent him from breaking.
  19. There’s no real decision to take with Mitch White. He’s 100% getting added to the MLB roster once his rehab is complete and they feel he’s fully healthy and worn out the rust from not pitching all year. The team couldn’t care less about Jay Jackson and Pop was struggling before getting injured so they’ll put him through rehab once he’s healthy and/or option him if nobody else gets injured by the time he’s back.
  20. Speaking of butchers who can hit. Masataka Yoshida has a 155 wRC+ with elite metrics across the board for hitting but also only has a 0.6 WAR because of how awful his fielding and baserunning are. Kind of insane that a 29 year old 5'8 guy who's 180 lbs soaking wet can be this elite of a hitter but completely unathletic when it comes to every other facet of baseball. He's David Ortiz in the body of David Eckstein.
  21. Unless he keeps up his current 130 wRC+ en route to a 3+ WAR season almost no chance he gets a QO. His RoS projections have him ending the year as a fairly average 2 WAR corner OF with decent offense and bad/awful defense with negative baserunning contributions. Those guys don't get $18M for a year, even if Gurriel can and does ultimately end up receiving more of a 3/30 type of contract. Edit: it's actually more extreme than I thought. He has a 140 wRC+ but only 0.6 WAR. Even if he keeps his current hitting up he'll be "on pace" for a <3 WAR season.
