    I feel really dumb. Whatever though - I'm a big boy and can admit when I'm ignorant. I love this board - it teaches me something almost every day. September call up doesn't burn an option? (c'mon - there's got to be something about the September call up).

    What is the harm in bringing him up for a cup of coffee in September if we're out of the race? I thought that didn't affect his options or years of control.

    If you're not pulling him up this year and plan on starting him at 3rd next year, then you're following the Trout, Bryant, Acuna template and leaving him in the minors until late April 2019.

    I'm just going to go ahead and bump this up again...

    Maile's been more valuable than JD and Teoscar in half the PA's....

    Yennsy NOOOOOOOOO
  7. Brownie19
    Isn't he a party animal? Probably heavy into the drugs and whores.

    That was me. I guess I better dumb down my tongue and cheek comments. Great young core though, with a great farm system.

    The Braves look like they are positioned for another 20 year run of winning. Man...AA sure picks his spots well!

    1.3 WAR in 365 PA's in 2016 with a league average bat (wRC+ of 100). He fell off a cliff after the 2010 season (4.7 WAR) and has been a backup player ever since, while chasing 3000 hits and/or Rose's all time profession hit record. He was an incredible player. It's been a pleasure watching him for the past 18 years.

    Is this Seth Beer's draft year? They were raving about that kid for years and now he's not a projected 1st round pick?
  14. Brownie19
    Cavan Biggio is destroying AA.
  15. Brownie19
    Theoretically, they should be better, but Diaz and Gurriel are doing a pretty good Barney/Goins impressions right now.
  16. Brownie19
    Shockingly - some people here like baseball in general.
  17. Brownie19
    If JD is ready to return - he's not going to be our 26th man.

    Not to add gas to the fire, but Adam Ottavino used the slow mo camera in a warehouse this offseason to make tangible improvements (sorry for posting this again). https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/adam-ottavino-rebuilt-himself-in-a-vacant-manhattan-storefront/ Then again - maybe he just borrowed a bottle of the sticky stuff from Houston too (I'm just making a joke - you're triggered here).
  19. Brownie19
    I mean yes I would. However, substance or no substance, a drastic change in your pitch usage could partially explain the newfound success. That's all I'm saying (I'll stop now).
  20. Brownie19
    Yeah - I've been in there. I'm just saying it may not just be cheating. Cole's using his breaking balls way more in Houston than he did in Pittsburgh.
  21. Brownie19
    Thought this was a pretty cool article (for once) from fangraphs. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/adam-ottavino-rebuilt-himself-in-a-vacant-manhattan-storefront/
  22. Brownie19
    I don't doubt what you're saying, but I thought one of theories for Cole's success in Houston was that he's throwing his curve and slider way more than he did in Pittsburgh where they pitch to contact more (although sticking fingers makes the curve/slider more nasty)
  23. Brownie19
    Interesting topic. As someone just pointed out - Verlander seems to be completely dominant again. Have his spin rates spiked since he moved to Houston? Chad Morton? My other question is - do they think this is the sunscreen/rosin combo....or something different? I thought it was widely known that most pitchers are using that combo? You also heard announcers say the hitters would prefer if the pitchers had a good grip on the ball when they are throwing 95 MPH. I highly doubt that true.
  24. Brownie19
    Cool stat of the day: If Hader doesn't strike out any of the next 101 batters he faces - he'll still have a league average strikeout rate.

    This is exactly the type of quality analysis we should expect from Barker. Dogg is trolling (as per usual), but I do enjoy him keeping us posted on all the incredibly stupid things that Barker says throughout the year. I still think we need a thread devoted to all the stupid things that our local broadcast teams says.
