  1. True. Well bud aside from 2021 we have seen 110,106,132 and 116 wRC+ in '23. Maybe. Doesn't explain the consistently high EVs though. Enigma.
  2. His timing looks a mess - hard to manage the toe tap and all the hand movement. He is late a lot on cookies.
  3. Kikuchi so legit. Is there a better 5th in baseball right now? Paying him $10M this year.
  4. Some great news on Ryu today. Just a bone bruise. Sometimes they take awhile but still a best case scenario. He looked vintage last night and so fun to watch.
  5. 8 400ft FB that didnt go out? Pull dat ball Chappy!!
  6. His stuff does look electric. In '21 he averaged almost 98 on his FB. He has lost a couple MPH it seems.
  7. Not sure I understand. Other than teams taking shot on a pen arm (in this case from a DFA) which happens all the time, how does Cabrera show up in a comparison with Fuji and Hicks? His avg FB us under 96?
  8. Recency bias but is Hicks essentially Pearson + 2/3 MPH? K rate is up this year. Low spin rate. Whiff % percentile 75th. Struggles at times with command on both the FB and SL. I see him as a really useful piece but not replacing Romano's spot.
  9. For sure. And Silver Fox and Romano are out. Yimi was a bit shaky but got picked up by Mayza and Biggio. Team is starting to fire on all cylinders fingers crossed.
  10. Lol. Pure self defense back there! Nice win!!
  11. He was signalling with his hands he didn’t think he had a good lane.
  12. I’m already burning him in effigy. His average has dropped below .600. Unacceptable.
  13. 3.6 WAR & 126 wRC+ with an elite chase rate and 99th percentile hard hit %. Facts.
  14. CLE man....digging in the trash bin for Kalhoun. I thought he was finished.
  15. Jesus that sucks. he was looking like vintage Ryu tonight. looked like maybe just direct contact on the bone which would hurt like hell.
  16. Ryu finding his inner Buck Martinez to make that out. Wow. Really hope he is ok.
  17. Its very cool brothers, Canucks at that, on the same team. Is that a first?
  18. nice recovery. Ryu is painting a masterpiece so far. hate to see an E on a routine GB mess with it.
  19. Wild. I can’t believe Jason Heyward has been reincarnated into a good bat at his age now. Taking some hacks.
  20. LAD just turned a 5 run gap around in a hurry. Now 8-5 on a 3-0 grand slam by Betts adding to his HOF career credentials. Hard to believe he has 55 WAR already.
  21. Nah. Not my thing to troll on the internet. But ok.
  22. Ya. That’s right on SWR. Quite the gotcha. Came over in Stro deal. I lose track sometimes of all the top prospects and picks traded away which they criticized AA for. Daniel Norris and Matt Boyd’s of the world. Berrios sucked last year 1 fWAR. Especially when his V was down making the other pitches he relies on less effective. True that his FB command was also off. He needs to stay health and eat innings as thats where a lot of his value over 1200 IP has come from. If he doesn't his value drops dramatically. He's got a career FIP over 4. As far as what may happen, in a 7 year deal its all about risk assessment vis a vis term/AAV.
  23. ya, that was over the top. lol. My bad. Metafour knows his ball. We just disagree on a few topics.
  24. Ya right. Because a 7 year extension is norm right? lol. Id expect this kind of comment from a charter member of the Ross Atkins salad tossing brigade. We paid two top picks (albeit not great ones by this FO) for him plus this deal. I hope he delivers like this year for most if not all of this deal. He has been durable. Quite a few arms are until they aren't over 7 years. He ate up a lot of IP in MINN. We shall see. My preference would be to augment a rotation with FAs rather than paying premiums building 5/6th of the rotation around them. Rather see some more developed in house realistic options since 2016. Call me crazy.
  25. At the moment. Long way to go. Ex: Berrios has had 1/2 good years and 5 more to go. Given what we saw with Manoah in '23 we all know this. I think Kooch is going to be paid 16/10/10 with biggest chunk out of the way which is nice.
