    Dude can you please stop boot-licking this FO. We suck and can't do anything right. We're incredibly lucky that players we drafted and developed are up and hitting well right now.

    The BABIP magic is gone for him.

    Adam Macko cooked again tonight: 5 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K Really encouraging emergence late in the season.

    I don't think so man. Shatkins was brought in to reduce the payroll, remember? They're probably going to just non-tender him to save the $$.

    What the hell is Clement doing smh. Medina walks two straight batters and he comes up swinging at two pitches nowhere near the plate. Then he singles off a pitch way high. Good "result", but he swung at 3 balls nowhere near the zone.

    Awww man what the hell, why pull him!? Now the bullpen is going to be tired! Why not let your ACE battle through??

    Off Top 100 prospect Jared Jones:

    Frasso's AAA debut: Sat pretty much 92-94mph. Threw 10 pitches over 95mph and topped out at 97. Looking at the pitch by pitch tracker, his velocity dropped after about ~35 pitches. His fastball was mainly averaging 92-93 from pitch ~#35-80. Another thing: he had just 5 whiffs on a total of 80 pitches. His fastball in particular only had 1 whiff on 51 pitches. His overall line in the start looks good, but the stuff is down and really wasn't impressive by MLB standards. And therein lies the concern over his future profile: is his stuff ever going to hold up over a normal starter workload? He's at ~80 IP on the season which is a career high, but if he's already getting "tired" in an 80-pitch outing then he isn't doing much to squash the reliever vibes. Like someone mentioned above, he was 97-100 mph in outings prior to us trading him, so an outing wherein he's mainly throwing 92 mph is way down. Mitch White in his most recent AAA start: 95 mph average on his fastball with 5 whiffs on 36 pitches. Not making any sort of statement, but Frasso's actual stuff is worth monitoring.

    Adam Macko might be back. So far tonight: 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K
  10. metafour
    Michael Dominguez tonight: 5 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 10 K Gave up 2 HR's which is now 6 in 22 IP, but he has otherwise been good since being promoted.

    BA apparently wrote this about Roden yesterday:
  12. metafour
    They got literally zero "prospect points" off him lol. Imagine the "25th best" farm system's virtual non-prospect being this guy.

    Yes, I love painting players with abnormal talents with the same brush that would otherwise hinder an 'average' player. The fact that he runs a 5% walk rate means much less for him than it does for 99% of the hitters in the league. He swings a lot, but he also doesn't whiff (75th percentile this season) or strike out a lot (71st percentile). A player like him could very likely become more selective and walk more if/when his bat-to-ball skills ever deteriorated. He is getting slower, but his hitting prowess really isn't predicated on his speed. His Statcast page is all red everywhere and it has been for 4 straight years now. Outliers always exist.

    Hicks is considerably less hittable than Pearson. C'mon dawg.
  15. metafour
    Bichette is nothing like Baez. Baez didn't even have his first "good" hitting season until his 5th year in the league. Bichette is one of the most consistently above-average hitters in the entire league. 90th percentile or above xBA in each of the past 4 seasons. He's in the 98th percentile this season. It's truly elite bat to ball skills.

    The Orioles are just a next-level organization. INCREDIBLE signing.
  17. metafour
    Roden was also 2 for 2 in the last game that got cancelled due to a rain out, so he completely lost out on those hits. He is crushing right now.
  18. metafour
    There are no more pinch runners my guy. Were you going to sub him out for Kirk LOL?
  19. metafour
    No, he's really not you dummy. LOL.
  20. metafour
    Miguel Hiraldo has been on an absolute tear. Playing himself back into intrigue (if not just trade fodder) 3 for 5 with 2 HR's (Grand Slam) tonight. Also made an impressive play at 2B. Roden: 2 for 3, HR, 2 BB Jimenez: 2 for 4, BB
  21. metafour
    Literally came to post this. Dead-center fastball and the CF barely had to move.
  22. metafour
    Is he now? It must be very frustrating for him to have to play on one of the Top 7-8 teams in the league. Is he going to demand a trade to a Top 3-5 team? How often do "star players" ask for trades off of clearly competing teams LOL? If Gausman is going to ask for a trade, does that mean that it's going to be open season for the under-.500 Padres and their stable of superstars? Surely under the same logic I expect Soto, Tatis, etc, etc. to demand trades this offseason? Talk about melodrama. There are star players who play for teams much worse than the Blue Jays whom I've never heard a peep out of.
  23. metafour
    No BABIP magic today clearly.
  24. metafour
    You are SO cute! You going to spend another full day bumping up old posts from years ago again? How mad were you that day? You have the self-awareness of an autist.

    Jansen is only good for getting plunked with the ball.
