  1. ok, so Baker can't frame for [expletive] either
  2. I think there's a pretty good chance Wada pitches better than Wood these next three months. I like his fastball and change/forkball combo better than Wood's 85 mph cutter and questionable offspeeds. Wood's fine; 5.4 fWAR (or 6.3 using RA9) in his last 50 starts will attest
  3. tell me more about Strasburg's FRO
  4. I appreciate people not blocking ads, actually. i never considered doing so until they started making sound you can't even pause or mute you really gotta ditch these
  5. his last, like 5-6 Ks, have been on the change i feel like
  6. Jacob Gatewood: .228/.262/.263 (24 K) thru 57 ABs
  7. couple IF pop-ups too, i'd obviously like for that to be a regular thing updated dream: latter-career Jered Weaver
  8. he only plated 2 on the double, the other was on medium-depth SF
  9. so, he just hit the ball with more authority to the opposite field than Barney ever has in his entire career (if we are to compare the two)
  10. Bailey's off-speed pitch is 87 Hendricks's on-speed pitch is 87
  11. using George Springer (24.5% MILB career K%) as a comparison, Springer averaged 155 wRC+ throughout the minors and is projected by ZiPS for a 116 wRC+ right now, almost exactly 75% of his MILB career rate production - also, it may be worth noting Bryant has been at least about a year younger than Springer was, coming up through the ranks Bryant (26.3% K%) has averaged 210 wRC+ (lolol) and using same arbitrary 75% benchmark would give him 157 wRC+ projection, which would be 9th-best figure right now, identical to Puig/J. Batista/N. Cruz current production, slightly trailing 8th-place Stanton (160) i know it's nearly meaningless back of the napkin math stuff, but i was curious what that process would reveal, so i'm sharing my admittedly specious findings BONUS LAUGHS: Bryant's post-April numbers
  12. if we can sign the Cuban OF (Tomas), it allows us better to deal for Stanton or perhaps even another star-level position player without creating a replacement-level hole
  13. didn't somebody already point out they'll probably send him down to play in the PCL ASG? i'm willing to bet he'll be up for good shortly after that
  14. the Bucs kept down Polanco even though they had serious playoffs aspirations (and are currently 1.5 games out of playoff position)
  15. maybe he broke the sound barrier or the light barrier
  16. great to get a high 5 from those double plus hands
  17. http://images.amcnetworks.com/ifc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/network-03072011.jpg
  18. fwiw: Betts (would-be #12), Swihart (#14), Owens (#15) are Theo-era draftees
