  1. Montoyo was such an easygoing beta male that the more competitive players like Bichette hated his guts. They're both puppets, but the players seem to respect Schneider more.
  2. Because of Covid Manoah basically went from a college draftee sitting on his ass to a full time MLB workhorse. I don't think it was the wrong move because the team fighting for a playoff spot, but I've always wondered if that had an effect on him
  3. Not while Shapiro is here. The team has gotten worse since he's left and he's done nothing but win I'm not sure why he would even want to come back.
  4. Kiermaier career against LHP 85 wRC+ Kiner Falefa career against LHP 86 wRC+
  5. Soto is a butcher out there
  6. Volpe looked at 3rd, double clutched, and still got the force at 2nd.
  7. Getting to the leverage guys is a victory in itself
  8. His 3 mph sprint speed makes it even funnier
  9. Vlad doesn't know how to read the room. Cadillac'ing a 330 foot bomb in a blowout doesn't display great self awareness. Same with the HR jacket and constant ice baths on veterans
  10. Maybe he shouldn't do that every time
  11. Guerrero showboating on a 9-3 HR is classic
  12. Kiner Falefa for 2 IP let's go
  13. Schneider gonna empty the pen down 4.
  14. Kirk is so valuable behind the plate that he just needs to hit around league average to justify a spot. Kirk with roboumps is DFA material.
  15. It's very possible that he was holding back to focus on length.
  16. Because it applies mean aggregated data to a unique scenario. Using in-game data (performance, velo, whatever) correctly can allow you to outperform your expected value. Using aggregated data (lifetime performance against LHH or whatever) and ignoring in-game data would would do the exact opposite. I'm not explaining well, but it's the same reason a good poker player can make more money than the expected value dictated by his dealt cards. A poker player who follows 100% textbook strategy without using any additional information should earn his expected value over a large number of trials.
  17. Baltimore had the best bullpen in baseball last year. They are an elite baserunning team as you mentioned. They don't micromanage SP matchups like the Rays and Blue Jays do. All of these factors contribute to outperforming your Pythagorean record.
  18. An IL stint is officially MLB status, whereas getting optioned at the end of spring training is not. Just saying.
  19. It's not just performance. Vlad needs to consistently demonstrate maturity, work ethic, and leadership over the next two years to justify a high-risk investment. Handing an unearned contract to a lazy headcase is a recipe for disaster, examples from the past are too many to count.
  20. Be thankful for whatever production he provides this year then cut all ties. Even if he has a big year cut all ties. Vlad hasn't demonstrated the makeup required to justify a large investment contract
  21. I don't like this move at all. The splitter is purely a whiff pitch that works when you have fastball command, which Nate doesn't have. I'm sure this sounds old school but wild pitchers need to learn to repeat their delivery to develop command, not tinker with 5 pitches looking for the tiniest of advantages. The guy has like 75 IP in his entire career with garbage command. If I'm Whiskey Pete, I tell Pearson to just spam fastball and one breaking ball. Probably curveball because it has less tilt than the slider so easier to control. If he learns to flip the curveball for a strike just once per AB hitters will be overmatched by the fastball. I really don't like how the team develops pitchers.
  22. Pedro threw 99 without performance-enhancing fat. How much harder would he throw if he were obese? 105?
  23. Greg Maddux should've eaten hot dogs like Kirk. He would have thrown 99+ and gone down as the greatest pitcher of all time.
