    The team is down an important reliever in Swanson. If/when he comes back Fluharty will likely find his way back to AAA.

    The middle relief runs allowed didn't help but the team lost primarily because they failed to plate a single run.

    Why is that? The MLB torpedo bat currently being used was in fact invented a couple of years ago by a physicist employed by the Yankees.

    The bat being used by MLB players presently was in fact invented a couple of years ago. I even linked an article outlining when it was created. The fact that there was an aluminum bat with a similar looking barrel does nothing to change when the current MLB torpedo bat was invented.. This isn't that hard, try to keep up.

    Notice how I used words like "may be" in my statement? That's far from a definitive statement, time to brush up on your reading skills a tad.

    Oh you totally proved me wrong, MLB have obviously been using torpedo bats for decades and an aluminum bat with this type of barrel is concrete proof.
  7. max silver
    That's not true. The Torpedo bat was invented a year or two ago according to this article: https://www.mlb.com/news/aaron-leanhardt-discusses-invention-of-torpedo-bats

    It's not like Yankee Stadium wasn't already making a mockery out of the integrity of the sport along comes the Torpedo bat.

    I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but you should go all board sheriff on this Yarbrough situation.
  10. max silver
    I was going for the world record on run on sentences.

    If this happened with the Blue Jays the exact same group of fans that is so incensed over the Blue Jays decision to let a mediocre replacement level longman type go to the Yankees would also be super pissed at the front office if Yarbrough had this type of blowup as a member of the Blue Jays.

    I might be inventing a quote that he never actually used, but I think that Buck Martinez would suggest that Easton Lucas looked really starterish in his season debut.

    I think Giminez's contract is pretty friendly to both sides. If Gimenez blossoms back into a star the deal starts to look team friendly, but if he bounces back to 2023 level 4 FWAR it looks very fair to both parties.

    I think Wagner has potential to hit a ton of doubles as the exit velocities are solid enough. I had a peak at his Statcast numbers and he's really struggling against the heater with a .215 xwOBA against the heater. That trend is going to need to reverse if he's to continue to enjoy success.

    Jays have already offered Vlad a truckload of money. I think he's most likely going to receive a rude awakening in free agency.
  16. max silver
    Giminez very well may be morphing back into a star player in front of our eyes this season.
  17. max silver
    I'd still be totally on board with a Bo extension at this point. Vlad's shown himself to be a delusional greedy idiot and it's entirely possible the team may have dodged a massive bullet with Vlad turning down the already well above market value extension offer.
  18. max silver
    Vlad has actually been getting under the ball a tad too much so far. Leading up to the game his groundball was easily at a career best 35%, which is a 10% drop from his previous best.
  19. max silver
    Well this game certainly went the way everyone expected. Lucas handily outpitches Mackenzie Gore Gore is roughed up by the Blue Jays Springer dinger off of Gore Several hits from Straw off of the bench It's really easy to feel good about this team right now. Once Santander and Vlad start chipping in with the home run ball this offense could be downright dangerous. I was very impressed with Lucas, as his fastball in particular was a weapon up in the zone and the command was very solid as well.
  20. max silver
    Still prefer Yarbrough at this point? We know that Yarbrough's ceiling is decent long man, but Lucas really opened my eyes as a dude who looks like he might be a legitimate option for the back end of the rotation.
  21. max silver
    I think Wagner has looked very good at third base in spring training and early in the season. He's not a gold glove candidate like Ernie Clement but the defense has been very solid so far.
  22. max silver
    I'll reserve judgment on who I'd rather see pitch between Lucas and Yarbrough until I've actually seen Lucas pitch. He did produce pretty decent numbers in AAA last season and his stuff+ numbers look decent as well so he may prove to be a cromulent depth rotation option.
  23. max silver
    This feels a lot like last year when most of the better rotation depth options started the season on the injured list.
  24. max silver
    Some of the tools look to be a little better than advertised. Roden's sprint speed has worked it's way up to above league average at 27.5 ft/s, albeit with an awkward looking running technique. The defense has been very good so far as well.
  25. max silver
    Vlad has an unusual issue this season in that his launch angle is actually a bit too high as he's getting under the ball too much. The exit velo is excellent as per usual, hopefully he can level the swing out a bit as he appears to be attempting to lift a bit too much. With Santander he's a notorious slow starter for his career but the power should come eventually. He has a career 84 wRC+ over Mar/Apr for his career with only 12 career home runs.
