    no it's more that now he's shown signs of actual real growth rather than a random hot stretch so we probably shouldn't be pushing him out when we imagine the trade market for him might not be overly enthusiastic (i might dispute this also)
  2. sneakypower
    each time that he had a half season of 1000 OPS and 21% Ks? oh yeah i've just lost count of 'em
  3. sneakypower
    perhaps more importantly, his K rate dropped from 28.3%, to 21.8% in the 2nd half; to me that signals development for comparison, his 2017 strong 2nd half was coupled with 191 K pace, and a 169 K pace for his 2018 1st half so he never before really coupled good contact ability with slugging/production
  4. sneakypower
    also i can tell many of you paid little attention in the 2nd half (understandable, really) [attachment=0]ks-2nd-half.PNG[/attachment]

    it's gonna really fucken rule when we trade Contreras because of pitch framing and a year later they institute robot umps and he's flirting with MVP numbers and we've got 2-3 guys combining to slug .350 there
  6. sneakypower
    lol Michigan has missed the Vegas cover by at least 2 TD in 6 straight games
  7. sneakypower
    sets the QB up to fail when you feature stale antiquated play designs that create no space or confusion for the defense
  8. sneakypower
    we don't seem to miss the 47 wrc+ he had been providing since his recall
  9. sneakypower
    the Yankees did not have to give up a future superstar to acquire Chapman
  10. sneakypower
    one of the more depressing things from a roster standpoint is we recklessly burned through prospect capital with extreme abandon: probably 2 guys combining for 80 HR this year that we threw away for 1-1/3 seasons of closer there's always people jumping in to justify Chapman trade but that always conveniently leaves out that a full year of him only required a return of Rookie Davis and Eric Jagielo but of course we needed to give up a now 22yo SS with 38 HR / 162g for 2 months of him..nice foresight
  11. sneakypower
    we'll always have the 3 top-10 picks spent on OFs producing no league average starter
  12. sneakypower
    i'm a little bit irrationally upset that Tebow's holding the ball out like that with his right hand in this thumbnail; i can't see a single circumstance where that makes any sense to do
  13. sneakypower
    [extremely rob manfred voice] it is the pace of play that is turning fans off the sport, not owners who are perfectly content to lose rather than pay players fair market value
  14. sneakypower
    this is kinda funny https://twitter.com/Cianaf/status/1171113233895297024

    Schwarber 2nd in ISO since the start of August
  16. sneakypower
    JD Martinez seems like a near-perfect analogue, but all bets are off in this newfound era of collusion so, maybe?
  17. sneakypower
    help to ease the sting of trading away Emilio Bonifacio
  18. sneakypower
    i choose to view this as a good thing, they're (hopefully) breaking down his wimpy dick swing and reworking it to somehow add loft
  19. sneakypower
    Danny Santana: 13 HR, .375 SLG in 364 career games ('14-'18) 17 HR, .589 SLG in 84 games ('19)
  20. sneakypower
    HR/FB '16: 4.8% '17: 9.2% '18: 6.2% '19: 16.8% i have a theory about why he's markedly improved..
  21. sneakypower
    all this hand-wringing for a guy with a lower wRC+ than Jon Lester
  22. sneakypower
    for the Addison signing, who isn't? this character here who is oddly insistent that we're all mad at the wrong guy
  23. sneakypower
    fwiw i am mad at Theo also
  24. sneakypower
    i uh...think that Descalso is the backup SS now
  25. sneakypower
    because Robel's been awesome and Russell's further settling in as a below-average player with dwindling upside they felt comfortable making whatever statement this is
