    this is true but also funny that what we're hoping for is his .234/.293/.280 expected slash line to normalize i know he can give us better than he's shown so far..like maybe an upper-mid-.500s OPS!

    i'm still extremely anti-Madrigal, his best-case scenario anymore is beating out a run-scoring FC "putting the ball in play" only matters if you're capable of finding the OF grass occasionally; .233/.268/.315 since last August has no role, you can close your eyes and point your finger at a AAA roster and find a better hitter

    ONKC put one in the drink on 0-2 count i believe, off MLB quality LHP Daniel Lynch who had been cruising

    it has not https://twitter.com/ballskwok/status/1784349273401794569

    i had seen a few sources worry about his inconsistent effort and assumed Campbell & Holmes would discount him on that basis

    reading up on the draft a lot for the Lions there seemed like such a small list of guys (something about "knee-biters") that they'd deign to select at their pick, so filtering out all the supposed bad culture fits i'm hoping for this board for them at 29: Cooper Dejean (unlikely to fall there) Kool-Aid Chop Robinson Legette trade down

    lmao Verlander made the most of the hot mic near the dugout there

    lol

    i got a little annoyed when Boog started saying that, i guess you're just not going to hear me complain about any reliever on this team "throwing too many strikes", we should be so lucky

    among active closers only these names have higher ra9-WAR for the last full calendar year than Adbert Tanner Scott Jason Foley Evan Phillips Craig Kimbrel Josh Hader Clay Holmes and nos. 1 & 5 are in danger of being moved off the role for a bit after some high-profile blowups he's still good in my book, that HR was kinda fluky altitude nonsense
  12. sneakypower
    eh, i would half-heartedly argue he's currently one of the best closers in baseball simply because every other closer is more or less injured at the moment the best ability is availability!

    Swanson being unable to close his glove tightened the margin to just a solo HR Hendricks was batting practice Smyly wilted pitching issued 10 BBs etc. lot of things went poorly to lose that one that it's unfair scapegoating to focus your frustrations on one player

    it's Teheran' up my heart
  15. sneakypower
    first HR he ambushed first pitch for an oppo blast, 2nd HR was on 1-2 offering, neither one the OFs tried chasing down in earnest; he rules
  16. sneakypower
    smug
  17. sneakypower
    no i just meant that they're more or less the same "0.01% chance they turn into Blake Snell" brand of funky lefty maybe he does and we'll groan but Busch is hitting ground running with a .400+ xwOBA anyway
  18. sneakypower
    had to double check the date on this, how could somebody gnash teeth about giving up DJ Herz Jr & a lump of clay for plug & play Matt Carpenter, ingrate lunacy, to me
  19. sneakypower
    that's quite literally his biggest strength, like there are so many other facets to QB play tangible & intangible where i can't tell you with confidence that he'll meaningfully succeed in the League or not but he's an innately great passer while Tebow was the clear worst in recent memory: https://i.gifer.com/HroA.gif

    i'm trying and failing to think of a single athletic trait or similarity these two share
  21. sneakypower
    Morel acquits himself well at 3rd
  22. sneakypower
    another stunner, mercy
  23. sneakypower
    fwiw Chop Robinson & Adisa Isaac were blowing by Michigan's turnstile tackles and it's ironically a testament to JJ's importance/irreplaceable nature that they opted to use such extreme measures there to preserve him in a somewhat apples to apples (Harbaugh offense) comparison his efficiency/rate stats were fairly comparable to Andrew Luck albeit w less volume

    sleeper – CFranklin, Wiggins keeper – ARosario, Devers weeper – McGeary, Howard, Davis, KFranklin, Pinango, Preciado, PCA
  25. sneakypower
    fun question is if this was available, would you rather have a) Caleb or b) Maye, Barton, Nubin, KJenkins (and maybe Egbuka later?)
