  1. Cade Horton is -115 to win ROTY on ESPNBet so he's currently the odds on favorite according to them.
  2. I don't hate Zaidman the way others do, but him being in the booth during an Apple TV game is a bad beat all around. Fortunately the early offense is making this a much more pleasant experience.
  3. I'm going to sound like a grumpy old man here, but I cannot express how much I hate the Apple tv games. I pay for MLBTV, just let me watch the damn game you bastards.
  4. If my math is right, magic number to make the playoffs is 14 and to stay out of the 3rd wild card slot is 18. If they play .500 the rest of the way, the Giants have to go 20-2 and the Mets 16-6 to catch them.
  5. Probably tough to really judge him based on the 2023 performance with the rumors he played with a torn meniscus for a decent part of the season.
  6. Wouldn't be terribly surprising if there was something there with the recent history of pitcher development in STL and Colorado.
  7. Probably a couple things at play. He's kind of a cerebral dude and never gets real excited about things and he's historically kind of streaky, and those cold streaks can look pretty ugly and are much more memorable than when he's scorching hot and hits 9 homers in a month.
  8. Right? It's like we haven't been here for 20 years talking about guys having outlier weeks, months and years who immediately turn into a pumpkin after signing a huge contract when they ran a BABIP 30 points higher than their career norms in a contract year.
  9. You don't actually understand anything. It's really kinda funny at this point.
  10. You're refuting actual data with a bucket of nothing. You're the one who needs to back up your claim dingus. Jason Ross has repeatedly shown this using verified data and you have absolutely nothing to contradict that other than your typical baseless claims.
  11. And you're going to continue to make specious claims with zero backup.
  12. Unless it's CB Bucknor, and then it's okay to blame him for everything that goes wrong because he's truly terrible at his job.
  13. I think the defense will be fine if they stay reasonably healthy. The depth in the secondary is problematic, especially if Johnson isn't healthy. Allen will scheme them into looks that confuse the opposition enough that I don't think they'll be awful.
  14. He's been suspended for 6 games for his little tantrum the other day.
  15. Can you look at how many times he's struck out on balls out of the zone and looking? That's really the beef I have with his performance of late. He's stopped being aggressive like he was earlier in the year and he's seeing a ton of hittable first pitch strikes and then the pitcher nibbles after that because they know they've got him on the defensive. He gets screwed on called strikes more than anybody I've ever seen, but even outside of that, he just isn't making the right decisions at the plate.
  16. He wasn't in Milwaukee so he had a chance at least.
  17. Is the division record the first tie breaker or is it head to head? I also wouldn't assume just yet that the Dodgers win the West since it's a 1 game gap right now.
  18. And for the first time in the history of that park, announced attendance was under 20K.
  19. I suggested a very specific move for a very specific purpose. Mo can hit but not much else at this point and a few days off may do Seiya some good. I'm also very skeptical that anything was corrected with 2 days off for Tucker.
  20. Neither of those catches were near as difficult as that one. They were both fantastic plays, but the wind was tougher today, that was a much higher fly ball, and he was much deeper in the corner than either play Caissie made.
  21. Well, the middle 3 games were fun at least. I wish they'd have just put Tucker on the IL to give him time to work on what's jacked up with his swing and let the kid play.
  22. Moderately comforting to see Yelich just stand there and look at a strike to confirm it's not just Cubs hitters who do it.
