    7 feet outside you stupid f***.

    Gotta see Kirk here.
  3. Brownie19
    Tabby just called Michael A. Taylor a good hitter. WOW - career wRC+ of 80.
  4. Brownie19
    No need to waste time responding to the troll (RobinThicc).....Martin could be playing 3rd for the Jays by September.
  5. Brownie19
    Boyz are fighting back.
  6. Brownie19
    And Tellez.

    This is going about as expected.

    People want to see stolen bases and more BIP. They don't want to see pitchers hit/bunt. These are mutually exclusive.

    But he is as s***** as Roark. You may not understand what xERA is. Based on the exit velocity and angle off the bat - the ball hit to Palacios typically isn't caught. Zeuch was lucky it was right at someone (and then unlucky Palacios butchered it). Zeuch is awful.

    I also wanted to ask the smrt people here. What's the reason for the change. I believe shifts are part of it, but the primary cause is the improvements in pitching isn't it? My friends all seem to blame hitters for not having a 2 strike approach, or for not adjusting to hit the ball the other way (or bunt of course) - but when everyone is throwing 95+....the batters simply don't have that luxury. Hitters have to eliminate certain pitches and locations right? They'll say I'm looking for the ball away and if a pitcher throws it 95+ on the inside corner, they tip their hat. The pitchers simply have too much of an advantage now. Amirite?

    I'm bumping this because I think this board should have a bigger discussion on it. I think we all agree the game needs to change. The current product is hard to watch. 25% strikeouts is insane. Every team has like 6 guys in the pen throwing 95+ and there are too many pitching changes. What's the goal? I think everyone wants more BIP and more emphasis on defense and base running. What era of baseball are we aiming to replicate? After discussing it with a few friends, the correct answer might be the early 90's. Fewer home runs than the steroid era (where too many guys who shouldn't be hitting a ton of home runs were), fewer strikeouts, more base running, more defense - but still lots of offense. I'm also worry I'm getting dangerously close to becoming the old guy who thinks the baseball he grew up watching was the best and just complains about anything that's different.

    what happened when they lowered the mounds before? perhaps nobody is old enough to really know - they also didn't document injuries as well back then.

    Jamal? yeah - brutal stuff. Love that kid and I was rooting for the Nuggets in the west.

    Bo is such a f***ing BOSS.
  15. Brownie19
    I applaud your chirping of Buck and Tabby sir.
  16. Brownie19
    can someone post those awesome videos of the Kirk an Bo home runs please? thanks.

    When did they change where they measured MPH from, as I know that's increased what the gun reads also - but I generally agree. They need to find a way to reduce strikeouts dramatically, have more balls in play, increase the value of defense and base running and reduce the number of pitching changes. I wonder what the effect of lowering the mound would be (seeing as we've had that in baseball before already). I have to imagine they considered that first - also curious what the impact to injuries would be. What era do you guys think was best? I think baseball in the heart of the steroid era (late '90's early 00's) was the best. Guys were crushing home runs, but we also had guys stealing 50+ bases a year. Big time power guys were striking out in the low 20% range, with most others between 10% and 20%. Great pitchers were striking out 7 to 8 per 9 innings and you still had 25 starting pitchers with ERA's below 3.5. Maybe it's nostalgia, but for me - that's the type of baseball I want to see.

    whoa - Rowdy and Kirk both got hits in one inning? The apocalypse is upon us!
  19. Brownie19
    career 115 wRC+, .363 OBP with near elite base running (15th overall in BsR in 2019). Good call.
  20. Brownie19
    Absolutely no f***ing reason to sit regulars v. the Yankees when we're already short handed and have multiple off days coming up. Suck it up boys and get it done.

    https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2153783/mlb-to-test-new-dh-rule-moving-pitching-rubber-back-in-atlantic-league MLB is testing new rules. #1 - move the mound back a foot. Nobody likes seeing so many strikeouts. #2 - double hook DH. Once you pull your starting pitcher, you lose your DH. Too many pitching changes during a game. Apparently a 93.9 MPH fastball at 61 feet is equivalent to a 91.6 MPH fastball at 60 feet.

    Merryweather has an oblique strain too - so much for the hip irritation. f*** sakes.
  23. Brownie19
    It must be nice following a team like this. 6 starters with a wRC+ over 180 to start the year and Cody Bellinger isn't one of them.
  24. Brownie19
    Him and Tellez are going to Korea.
  25. Brownie19
    Wow - great effort Bo.
