  1. I didn't even realize Martin wasn't in the majors. Jansen looked awesome in spring training this year. I had high hopes. The BB% is excellent this year. The BABIP is incredibly low. He probably is better than he's showing right now, but it is looking more like he won't be a lead average bat behind the dish. Kirk has 276 PA's in A+ ball and is 21 years old. I don't think it's reasonable to expect he can succeed in the majors. Jansen lit up all levels of the minors in 2017 and had a wRC+ of 146 in AAA in 2018 (360 PA's) and he can't hit at the ML level at age 25.
  2. I didn't know Tepera was still alive. He's pitched pretty well so far this year.
  3. Sad stuff. I was looking at Seaver's numbers today. Pretty spectacular. I was kind of surprised to see that Bert Blyleven had 10 more career WAR than Seaver. It really is remarkable it took baseball so long to get Bert into the HOF.
  4. Chapman suspended 3 games.
  5. The Tigers must be beating up on someone else then to be .500 and in the race against us. Don't good teams beat up on s***** teams?
  6. what gives you the impression Bo won't get locked up? He's just too good?
  7. Yeah I agree - let's play a few extra innings before we start with the gimmicks.
  8. I'd be interested to know if players really hate extra innings that much. I could probably see that as their season is already a ridiculous grind.
  9. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29786820/fernando-tatis-jr-vs-mike-trout-which-player-rather-next-decade thoughts?
  10. White Sox have the 3rd best record in the AL with the 2nd best run differential.
  11. Is choking someone attempted murder? My bad re: gun shots - I seem to recall he shot them in her general direction (like around her or something - not with the intent of killing her, but to scare her) - but I'm wrong. Apparently after he choked her and threw her against the wall, she ran and hide in the bushes to call the police while he went to his car, punched out the window and got his gun....then locked himself in a garage before shooting at the block wall (1 shot through the window though). I'm going to say decision making isn't his strong point.
  12. Well he 'missed' up an in 3 times during that outing - the last one almost killed Brosseau. Let's remember that Chapman is a POS who choked and shot a gun at his girlfriend. Logical decisions like hitting someone in a 'safe' location is probably may not be in his repertoire. I mean if you're unhappy with what the other team did and want to use violence - walk over and fight someone. Pussy's throw balls at people.
  13. Add the A's to your list also....pretty incredible. I can't help but root for those teams in the playoffs. I'd love to see the A's and Billy Beane finally win a title with one of his budget teams.
  14. I'd love to see some analysis on this, but he must be slowing down his arm action on that change up. Has anyone ever seen someone with a 20 MPH differential between the fastball and change up? I haven't.
  15. This unwritten rule of throwing at batters to self police the game of baseball needs to end. It's f***ing nonsense. We don't need it, just like we never needed the take out slide. If you don't like what a team is doing and feel the need to physically attack them - then man the f*** up and fight them at first base or something. Throwing baseballs at people is a massive pussy move.
  16. As long as he's hitting, he's the preferred option at 1st base defensively.
  17. hockey? f*** - I don't bother with that s***.
  18. What a f***ing s***ing night all around.
  19. Buck on his high horse about how players 'these days' don't run the bases well. Go f*** yourself.
  20. If a home run ball counts - then yes.
  21. As reported, he's reverting back to a longer arm action...
  22. Remember when that was a thing? Very few rotator injuries these days.
  23. Buck - "The issue was Villar was a the leadoff hitter in Miami. I don't think he's going to hit leadoff for the Jays. He'll be in the top 3" Dan - "Even when Bo comes back?" Buck - "Oh yeah.....pause....pause....f***.....I think it will be Cavan, Villar, Bo and you drop Grichuk down" Get this man off the air please.
  24. It's interesting because Stripling projects to give you 2.9 and 3.4 WAR over 170 innings in 2018/2019. That's top 30-40 in baseball for starting pitchers. Anyone know why the Dodgers limited his starts/innings so much? Just because their staff was so deep and good? He's been used kinda of similar to Kenta Maeda (although Maeda was a shut down setup man in the playoffs, while Stripling was more of a low leverage guy). We can only hope that once he escapes LA, he flourishes like Maeda has this year for the Twins.
