    my wife casually remarked that he "sounds dumb"
  2. sneakypower
    has baseball finally found its own Pete Weber? "i want all your smoke, you guys fucken feed me!" is a worthy entry into the annals of smack talk
  3. sneakypower
    can you change lineup positions? Schwarber qualifies as LF so if possible i'd like to: Add: Rowdy Tellez Drop: Eloy Jimenez

    exactly this- watching the Brewers trajectory unfold, it becomes very crystal clear what an immense difference it makes to have a competent GM/pres vs. sub-replacement dullard

    I think if you believe the bolded that's a plenty fair way to look at it, but I don't think that's at all an accurate way to characterize what their competitive timeline is likely to be or ought to be. i agree with this as well, 2026 is a safer bet

    goal line clearance that would've put them up 3 on aggregate, then Rodrygo scores twice in a few minutes span to force extra time, what an epic comeback
  7. sneakypower
    seems like it's very easy for them, for various depraved reasons, to imagine doing (in their minds) rough sex that gets them hit with a wrongful assault accusation and they empathize with him on that level i guess? and also he's increasingly a culture war reactionary, so it could even just be that he's an important ally to be supported, regardless so essentially this is just a repeat of the Portnoy stuff except the crimes for Bauer are likely a little worse

    maybe pessimistic/skeptical is a better word than adamant, but yeah for sure, i underestimated his otherworldly tools to help allow him to survive a broken approach my hot take here is mostly that it's probably not good that most of our top hitting prospects are aspiring to be Shaq Thompson

    Preciado and Caissie K rates still total over 100%, curious to see how long that can last for
  11. sneakypower
    Absolutely. He now has about a month of success at an age appropriate level plus the pedigree (went into his draft year as a potential 1.1 pick) and tools. Honestly a bit more of this and we’re talking top 50-75 prospect. hard to think of too many hitters that have raised their stock/cemented status in April more than him; Hassell III, Busch, Henry Davis, Corbin Carroll, Langeliers, Royce Lewis, Gorman, Luciano, Lawlar all in discussion i think
  12. sneakypower
    Nelson Velazquez, two-outcomes hitter w/ another HR and 3 K nice night for Canario, 2 HR & SB
  13. sneakypower
    All I’m saying is that he has enough of a profile to give him more than 3 weeks before giving up on him especially after missing so much time with injury Idk how much forgiveness he should be given with the profile. What exactly is his profile? Like he’s a 5’7” slappy dude with no other talent, he’s likely bad and was a terrible trade target. give him some time to get right, and fulfill his destiny as Aaron Miles

    please don't get mad at me for this one https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=baker-004dar

    that one really freaked me out like 8 years ago when he played football at Notre Dame
  19. sneakypower
    Jed's so spooked by his extension he's vowed to never do another one
  20. sneakypower
    North Side Bound (NSB2?) said he was at 6 pitches seen per AB which doesn't really make much sense as a stat but if he's in fact working deep counts then the Ks aren't super worrying imo, his swinging strike was like 15% last i looked which is perfectly livable if he's selling out for more XBH

    maybe an unpopular opinion, but i think the rules should be amended to exclude him from ROY consideration not much point to the award when a seasoned Japanese league Mike Trout comes here in the prime of his career and predictably? kicks ass while other rookies face such a stiffer test comparatively full disclosure, i was personally delighted when Angel Berroa beat out Matsui for the award way back
  23. sneakypower
    giving this a more serious response, we do seem to have concertedly built an overriding fascination with cultivating pitch movement with our bullpen arms guys that all mostly seemed pretty middling in track record were maybe identified with the thought they could heavily focus on honing at least one plus pitch as the basis for their success, which is working pretty well so far (#2 RP ra9-war) [attachment=0]move.JPG[/attachment]

    a simple heuristic for me is, "does this current iteration of the Oakland A's lineup still lead MLB in runs scored?" ok still too early to draw any conclusions whatsoever
  25. sneakypower
    i'm really just saying that "it's good that he's been haplessly floundering, he's supposed to! put your trust in the guys who haven't developed an impactful home-grown regular since Contreras" is a bit of a tough sell, for me
