that Hicks had to do that....just brutal

they should have pitched Horwitz down and out, he might have gone fishing

big run, score some more

he struck out on a bad pitch last AB but he was much more patient here

100% perfect time to try and get the runner from 3rd home.....Biggio needs to go

green>>hicks

lol no kidding

That ball started in foul and ended up fair

Michael King, very rare to see a reliever - mid-season - turn into a dominant starter

that's for the off season, very difficult to adjust swing mechanics in season. I agree with you though that swing needs to get better

100%

Vlady hate and he's not even in the line-up

Vlady has bought in a while ago, not sure if people just have short memories or truly don't know, his workout videos in the dr are on youtube

need Vlady in the line-up

ever since they put him into the rotation, 3 excellent pitches

frame job

Vlady pulled from the line-up, issues with his knee

Kris?

haha yea I was thinking about Manoah as I was reading the article, In Hoffmans case that was probably the last piece of the puzzle - the rest of it - upper body, mechanics, mind set....etc were already in place. And he did it on his own - pretty much - not as part of a large organization with an endless amound of resources. Blue Jays Baseball Operations - High Performance department has about 40 specialists!

I love stories like this, he gained 3 mph on his FB! Full article below (I posted a a few paragraphios incase you can't access it) https://theathletic.com/4864381/2023/09/15/jeff-hoffman-phillies-reliever-2023/ But after two seasons with the Reds, he was unemployed in mid-January this year when he decided to hold a workout near his home in Lake Mary, Fla., a little north of Orlando. He told Nacario, his agent, to invite 29 teams. (The Rockies, Hoffman’s team for six years while his career languished, were excluded.) The night before the workout, someone from Hoffman’s agency called. He was sick. He couldn’t come. Hoffman was on his own. .... He had a contract offer from the Nippon-Ham Fighters in Japan. “It was a money decision,” Hoffman said. “I wasn’t saying I’m not good enough to play here, but I was like, ‘I need the money for my family.'” His wife and four children couldn’t accompany him to Japan. It would have been too much. But it was a good deal. A little over $1 million for four months. ..... Hoffman explained to them why he was confident. “We really attacked how strong I was in the offseason,” Hoffman said. “We thought that was maybe something we hadn’t addressed yet.” He doubled his leg exercises in the winter. He worked with a trainer named Jeff Higuera and Melissa Brown, a physical therapist, every morning. The added lower-body strength led to velocity gains. And, with that, came an upgraded slider.

Jeff Hoffman has found it

I had no idea Cionel Perez can reach 100 3 straight FB's to Alvarez to end the game

Orioles win

Agree, I think it has to change now, Neris, Abreu much better options yea and I don't get Diaz losing all this playing time - although Maldonado homered to day Diaz is a far superior hitter

Astros really showing their age
