    I think the issue is he knows every win matters. Margin of error for this team is razer thin. So far, he's riding his best and is willing to live and die with his best on the board. Before the recent hiccups, those guys had been nails. Then they were overused. I fully expect he'll try and walk that tight rope balancing act of pushing your best guys and overusing them. It's not like he has several other reliable options (although Little and Fluharty have both really stepped up). God knows if he was being too conservative with his pen use - trying to save guys and that was costing us games - fans would be livid... Unfortunately, it's a tough spot. That said, I LOVED Gibby and thought he managed the pen really well. Always room for improvement, but he's in a tough spot IMO.

    Good call.

    Demonizing America? Give it break. Threatening our sovereignty has consequences. And don't bring politics in here please.

    Straw! Wow.

    Nothing to show for it tonight, but Varsho is swinging it well. Really hope it's sustainable.

    F*ckin' right Bo.

    You were banging that drum all off-season. I remember that. I don't remember any T&F but I could be wrong. I think most thought they needed to aim higher and others thought it would be hard to convince him to sign here knowing he'd be a 6th or 7th starter, coming out of the bullpen. So far he's been great value for the Mets. Will be interesting to see if he can keep it up.

    You're making a mountain out of a mile hill...

    Rob Friedman (@pitchingninja) • Instagram reel WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM 9,689 likes, 117 comments - pitchingninja on May 10, 2025: "Roki Sasaki averaged only 94.8 mph on his fastball last night... This suggests he's not throwing as hard to try and regain his command. That's likely screwing up his stuff+ metrics. Very odd situation.

    SD is beating Colorado 21-0 in the 8th...
  11. Brownie19
    Probably why nobody is doing that.

    Never in doubt Jimi...

    Oh boy

    I enjoy seeing Barger get some regular playing time. Curious to see what he can be.
  15. Brownie19
    That's probably worse than being told to play 1st base...

    Very odd situation. My initial reaction is he's a spoiled brat. Do what you're asked to do to help the team - especially when you're clearly a below average defender at 3rd. But - I do think you have to understand the communication before you draw that conclusion. The team needs to articulate the plan to Devers and gain his support/respect. Then if they want to change the plan, they again need to speak with him and help him understand why it's changed. That's what leadership does. If they've done that and he still refuses and then runs his mouth to the media, then f*ck him!

    I was thinking that this morning... Hey don't worry Brock. If everything works out, people will care about the Jays in 2029 again. You'll get a return on your investment then...

    We're now projected to win 79 games, 5th last in the AL and even that seems like the projects are still artificially inflated by pre-season expectations. Remember when the projection systems thought the entire lineup was going to be > 100 wRC+?
  19. Brownie19
    I think it's a small miracle we're even 16-20. I think it's just the baseball gods evening things out. Those loses are more likely to be the difference between the 5th overall pick and the 10th overall pick.

    Something certainly changed in 2024... 2023 ISO - 0.043 2024 ISO - 0.243 2025 ISO - 0.364 The samples sizes aren't large, but that's a massive change. He mustn't have gotten the memo from Donnie Baseball yet. Looks like Loperfido did with his little slap base hit to the other field.

    I'm not. The best indication of future injury is past injuries and Ricky is made of glass. What do you think the probability he'll ever be a regular starting pitcher at the ML level? I guess he could become a Glasnow type? Seems more likely his ceiling is Josh Hader, but I think the chances of hitting that are <10% too. The floor really low. I guess if that's what makes you a Top 100 prospect, that bar is pretty low these days.

    Good luck getting Rogers to waste another $5M - $10M on this roster. They aren't morons. THE SEASON IS OVER. Every decision from here on out should be based on evaluating players within the org and setting up certain players to gain value for trade near the deadline. And for f*ck sakes, don't run Hoffman/Garcia out there every other day and destroy their arms to "try" and win another meaningless game.
  23. Brownie19
    The probability he becomes a starter at the ML level must be <10% at this point. Every bullpen arm throws 95+ now. At best, he might be a closer? Doesn't seem like Top 100 prospect to me. I suspect he'll throw some innings for us during a rebuild - probably suck and then we'll ship him off ala Pearson.
  24. Brownie19
    It might be best if we don't have GDT's moving forward. Save people's sanity.
  25. Brownie19
    I don't understand why anyone would put Ricky T in a Top 100 list. He's thrown like 4 innings in the past 3 years. Are you sure that's not a typo and it should be: Nimmalla 8 Tiedemann 595
