    Yeah, if he stays healthy and continues at the rate he's going, Ohtani is definitely winning MVP. Only thing that might hurt him is the Angels are ass, but Trout won a bunch of them so probably not.

    Bringing in Chatwood in a 6 run game would be insanity given the injuries to the pen.

    That looked awkward as hell from Bo.
  4. glory
    Yup. The moment Panik comes back, he's playing regularly. Even when it doesn't make sense to see him in the lineup, he'll be there.

    That is a bit more excusable to me than what happened with Tatis/Woodward/Tingler last season. TLR is 76 and clearly out of touch. The hire was cronyism at its finest and everyone knew it. This type of thing was pretty much expected. Feel bad for the White Sox players to have to deal with that, but unfortunately for them they had no say. Unlike with Tatis where it was clearly an issue that had to be addressed (Tatis was railroaded by his own manager), I think people will just chalk this up as "old man yells at cloud".

    I wish Ohtani chose the Dodgers if he wanted to go to LA. The Angels have him and Trout and will still finish way out of the playoff race. They couldn't even make it last year when 16/30 made it.

    With Vlad looking like a natural fit at 1B, I don't think Tellez has much longer in the org. If he was hitting up a storm at DH, then maybe, but having DH open to rotate/rest players seems like a much better use of the spot for the Jays, especially once Springer gets back. Since the Brewers collect Jays players, my guess is he ends up a Brewer at some point.

    You know the pen is exhausted when Buntoyo lets Ray throw 112 pitches.

    Red Sox take the lead. Angels have the greatest player of this generation (/ever) and the modern day Babe Ruth and will still miss the playoffs.

    Yeah, I'm fine with Sahlen Field for a season, but Dunedin just isn't working for me. I think it's the cardboard cut outs and lack of crowd, but either way, I'll be happy when they leave Florida.

    If you asked me to pick one today I'd go with Manoah, but that's only because of Pearson's injury history. Manoah just looks like he will be a guy who will be a workhorse, but obviously pitchers are fragile regardless.

    Would have liked Stripling to get one more inning considering how good he looked, but good start regardless.

    I'm curious to see what the umpire grade for the HP ump will be after this game. I'm following on Gameday, and it seems like a lot of calls are wrong. More than the usual incompetence by HP umps.
  15. glory
    Don't even bother testing out robo umps in the minors. Just implement the technology today and work out the kinks as the season progresses. Seriously can't be worse than what we are seeing nowdays.

    I'm just as excited about Moreno as I am Martin and Groshans. For an athletic catcher, what he's doing with the bat at his age and level is really intriguing.
  17. glory
    I like all of those, and would be fine with limiting pick off attempts to increase SB's (which is apparently something they are testing) as well. The game needs more stolen bases, doubles, triples, and less time in between pitches. I think you accomplish a lot of those things with the rules changes they are testing. I really hope some, if not all, of those changes are added soon.
  18. glory
    Pearson has been optioned to AAA, and Jeremy Beasley (who?) is coming up.
  19. glory
    I like practically every rule they are testing out in the minors. Robo umps, moving the mound back, increasing base size, limiting pickoff attempts, pitch clock, etc. The only one I'm not sure of is regulating shifts as I'd actually have to see it implemented first, but the others should add more action to the game. I hope they all get implemented, assuming all goes well in their minor league/Atlantic League trials.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdBAVo-5m_o In case this wasn't posted, interview with Theo Epstein about "how to fix baseball". I wonder how much of what the league is trying in the minors has Epstein's fingerprints on it since that appears to be why he was hired. He definitely articulates his vision better than Manfred ever could.

    Manfred should have unjuiced the balls after he made all the changes he's testing out in the minors/Atlantic League. He had to know that doing it beforehand was going to cause this end result. Although TV/streaming numbers/overall interest in the sport seems to be up this season compared to previous years, so maybe fans don't mind the pitching dominance.

    Yeah when I saw Miley was throwing one, I had no interest in seeing the final out at all, and I typically always like seeing the final outs of no hitters or perfect games. It might have officially jumped the shark with him. As I said above, the league wants to do things to increase BIP like move the mound back + they want robo umps. So they deaden the baseball so that offense around the league resembles the dead ball era and umpires are increasing the size of the strike zone to almost comical levels. My tinfoil hat is firmly in place.
  23. glory
    Montoyo would play him everyday and bat him cleanup.
  24. glory
    4 no hitters now (5 if you count MadBum) in the first week of May, and Manaea has one through 7 tonight. I can only assume the deadening of the baseballs was to make it easier to justify all those changes they want to make (moving the mound back, etc), but when Wade Miley throws a NH, man.
  25. glory
    Even the HP ump felt pity for Stripling there.
