  1. I'm not even sure this narrative makes sense when comparing Davis to IKF. Here's their batter run value on four seam fastballs last year.
  2. meh, it's not exactly a secret and Davis himself has talked about it on broadcasts. I'm more curious if a 92 mph fastball is really the type that Davis struggles against?
  3. Not trying to troll at all. I'm just pointing out those two pitchers particularly are not as terrible in the recent past. The Jays hitting has been terrible and should have everyone worried about it given how it has looked and how it was last year. I'm not sure why anyone would expect differently given they more or less decided to roll it back with minimal changes in personnel. I'm sure privately Schneider is worried too but he's smart enough to know saying it in a post game interview will do no good.
  4. Civale looked pretty good yesterday against the Rangers, who many would argue are amongst the best lineups in the AL. Littell has also looked very good (3.41 ERA, 3.89 FIP last year) since transitioning to a starting role.
  5. At this point 2021 Vlad is definitely the outlier. He's got that in there somewhere but sadly it may take a different voice to get it out of him again. People always point out that Vlad was better in minor league stadiums and that is the reason for his success that year, but didn't Dante Bichette also disappear from the team when they came back to Toronto (I remember guessing at the time he was unvaccinated)?

  7. Clement for me please and thanks
  8. Blanco was throwing it all spring a lot more than he did last year so I would think a good advanced scouting program would be checking out Astro's fifth start candidates in spring knowing you'd be facing them in the second series...maybe not though.
  9. Guys need to work out their hands like Reese McGuire so there is lots of muscle to protect those little bones.
  10. Who cares? He has veteran presents.
  11. I can't help but feel like there is still an issue with advanced scouting or preparation with this team. It just feels like too often a guy they should perform very well against locks them up, especially when it is a young pitcher (of all qualities) that they haven't seen before. We've seen it last year (and for the most part this year in a SSS) where the first time through the order our batters struggle. Last night they looked absolutely lost up there like they had no clue this guy had a changeup. Yes, it was new from last year but he threw it in spring. Advanced scouts should be watching Astros fifth starter candidate spring starts given the early schedule I would think? Maybe these players are too stubborn to listen but I doubt that is the case team wide.
  12. April 1 Vladdy -1 Point - Dylan, Angrioter Turner - 2 Points - Springer - 3 Points - jaysblue Varsho - 3 Points - Abomination Kirk - 4 Points - wilko Biggio - 5 Points - Omar Kiner-Falefa - 7 Points Kiermaier - 7 Points - mphenhef Clement - 8 Points The Bench (Any PH): 10 Points
  13. Maybe he has a window to join a team after March madness brackets are done and before fantasy football season starts.
  14. Schneider for me today please
  15. March 30 Vladdy -1 Point Bichette - 2 Points - WryNGinger, mphenhef Vogelbach - 3 Points - Jonn Springer - 3 Points Varsho - 3 Points - L54, Dylan, Abomination, Angrioter Biggio - 5 Points Kiermaier - 7 Points - jaysblue Serven - 8 Points Clement - 8 Points - Spanky The Bench (Any PH): 10 Points
  16. Can I take Vlad tonight please
  17. He likely was put on waivers a couple of days ago and it just wasn't announced right away.
  18. Only two lefties versus Berrios in a Rays lineup. I find that surprising.
  19. Thanks for doing this again! March 28 - Opening Day! Vladdy - 1 Point - Abomination Bichette - 2 Points Turner - 2 Points Springer - 3 Points - Dylan, L54, mphenhef Varsho - 3 Points - Spanky Kirk - 4 Points - robinthicc Biggio - 5 Points Kiner-Falefa - 7 Points - P2F Kiermaier - 7 Points - Laika The Bench (Any PH): 10 Points
  20. What is something they have never said about SR. ?
  21. I would think a month of major league salary and showcase time might be worth it.
  22. He played first base the other day
  23. It's massaging the egos of the players/agents too. JD/Boras can say he got 12 million even though todays value is really much less. With Shohei's contract it helps the teams budget the first two years but in year three they have to start paying into an escrow fund for Ohtani's deferment.
  24. For many people with gambling problems, it's not always about trying to set yourself up with wealth. It's the competitiveness of it and trying to win that keeps bringing them back. They are hooked on the dopamine rush that comes from winning. Guys like Jordan, who are uber competitive, would feed off that feeling of winning.
  25. Enough money to support your family going forward might make it worth it to some people.
