  1. We need a dead cat bounce back year next year from him so he opts out of the final two years of that contract.
  2. The irony that the guy who everyone was pissed was pulled after two innings two long years ago is now no longer going to make the post season roster is something else.
  3. I always laugh when the fans boo it on the second throw over. They should be cheering that as it sets up an advantage for the team. I suspect that was the situation the Baltimore announcer was making his comments on.
  4. I think people underestimate how much Bo wants to win and wants to win in Toronto. He'll do what it takes to be part of a playoff run.
  5. Even as a prospect Vlad was expected to be a hit over power guy. The 48 is very likely a number he doesn’t hit again but he will have plenty of great years despite that I hope.
  6. I'm a firm believer that mindset and confidence plays a huge role in success in sports. I've seen it with kids I coach and you can definitely see it at all levels. We've seen how hard this fanbase can be on closers who aren't perfect. I don't think that would be the best way to introduce a guy who has struggled his first time out at nearly every level. Now, I would say bring him up and if he dominates be quick to give him more leverage.
  7. Now that I could get behind.
  8. Are you seriously suggesting they bring up Trey and shove him into the closer role in the heat of a pennant race as a rookie? That's one way to mess up a prospect.
  9. So admittedly this is something I read from another poster on the board or heard during the broadcast. I'm not sure how to get the stats from just 95+ pitches, but here is his line against 4 seamers only. It's the batting average itself that was said to be amongst the top 5. Some others Judge .323 Ohtani .265 Bichette .271 Turner .336 Jacob Wilson .320 Vlad .341 Pena .349 Springer .294 Hoerner .326 Frelick .291 Witt .280
  10. You might want to take a look at his splits before making this claim.
  11. Late inning relievers usually throw gas. IKF is one of the best in the league against velo. It makes sense.
  12. It would be gravy, but I'm not counting on it. Given he hadn't found his timing two months into the season I'm not counting on him doing it in the next two weeks.
  13. I have been one of the biggest Hoffman defenders I think but even I am starting to question his continued use as THE guy. A 10% fail rate is still great for a closer but Hoffman must be double or triple that now.
  14. Anyone else see Heineman in the post game interview and think there's no way Altuve would have let that happen. It was so disrespectful to his wife.
  15. Best post I've read in a while. This gave me such a good laugh.
  16. I would hazard a guess he is the reason he hasn't signed an extension yet. Would it be surprising to see him move over to the commissioner's office to get some time in there before Manfred retires in 2029?
  17. The numbers of guys who have come out this year and said the key to their success this year has been some form being true to themselves and their swing has made me truly appreciate how he is playing to guys strengths rather than getting them to attempt to fit whatever terrible model Mattingly and Martinez were following.
  18. If there is pain that causes mechanics to change it could lead to a bigger injury. The team may have simply told him he was a no go. You just don't know.
  19. Our team needs to score more than theirs before the end of the game.
  20. This is the narrative, but it simply isn't true in 2025. He's still receiving shine from his 2024 platinum glove. In 2025, he is 9th percentile in blocks above average and 85th in framing. He has negative DRS this year. Defensive numbers are hard to go by so they could be telling a false story but they tell a story of some regression in his defense this year.
  21. Babe Ruth had 9 SBs in a 45 game span? I might have guessed the under on career stolen bases at that number lol.
  22. Say they lose both but don't get swept...they only lose a game to each team and are still up 1.5 games with the tie breaker. they can easily lose those series and still win the division.
  23. Even with a 6 man rotation they continue to baby their starters. Like pulling Gausman while dealing at 93 pitches? How can one justify that with a 6 man rotation?
  24. I think it was just as much or more to have these guys face the Yankees next week.
  25. They brought him in for the playoffs.
