  1. the Angels have a better record than us
  2. surely his day is done but great googly moogly
  3. Brown recorded 2 Ks in the 4th both on really ugly defensive check-swings
  4. 1) P.Crow-Armstrong 2) J.Wicks 3) M.Mervis 4) M.Amaya 5) B.Brown 6) A.Canario 7) K.Alcantara 8 ) C.Hernandez 9) C.Horton 10) O.Caissie
  5. Boog said he was just 6th lefty (instance?) to hit 110+ MPH off LHP this year so already pretty hard to think bat speed is a legit flaw
  6. i want you to tell me what any of this elucidates in an analysis of Matt Mervis's future potential Bertz made a clearly understood point and saying "uh this one guy didn't master MLB pitching right away and also sucked defensively (dooming Mervis's near-term outlook by proxy) is mostly pointless commentary imo
  7. uh ok, Jose Ramirez and Paul Konerko were studs by age 23 so we'll just split the difference then and look forward to his breakout next year, in this highly scientific, meaningful, analysis here
  8. what does defensive value, or even age-specific production have to do with anything? the point was comparing offensive peripherals at AAA and what it might portend for his career outlook
  9. balk was a convenience for Steele, Berti was 99% to steal there especially with Amaya throwing
  10. by all accounts, he's a superlative teammate, so all else aside having a league-average hitter in mostly PH role who likely provides significant intangible clubhouse benefits, is much more natural/acceptable role than giving full time PT to a replacement level player at a premium offensive position
  11. what!!? Edwin Encarnacion had a 10-year peak averaging 40 HR & 114 RBI per-162GP
  12. (appeal to authority) "there's a reason 24 teams passed on Mike Trout in the draft" "there's a reason Pujols lasted until the thirteenth round" means little as a rhetorical crutch Jeremy Pena was looking like ROY for 1-2 months last year and Baseball America did an updated rankings where they begrudgingly slated him 100th lol, they're all flawed evaluators
  13. i'm glad that we only wasted a month figuring out that a guy who has been replacement level for the last 5 seasons is still a terrible player
  14. i like that the Lions somehow ended up with 5 guys more or less with 2nd round grades, i'm here for it
  15. dominating might not be a totally fair descriptor, he's at 60 pitches thru 3 so he's effectively nibbling and escaping hitters counts exact same kind of start Steele had last night, funny enough
  16. P-Wizzy is slugging higher than Manny Machado and Juan Soto combined
  17. broadcast said Guzman in '93 the last PG thru 7
  18. gambler's fallacy!!!
