    It's pretty obvious Baltimore's OC has zero faith in their OL. I haven't seen this many quick outs and bubble screens since Getsy. Lamar is getting the Justin Fields playbook.
  2. Tryptamine
    I thought, and still kind of do, that he needed to be around a 120-125 wRC+ to comfortably opt out and get his $100M deal. Right now he's at 107 and his defense has slipped from 2023. Could he get his $100M deal? Perhaps, but I think it's far from certain enough to leave 27.5M on the table for 2025.

    Frankly I'd be thrilled if Cody opts out. I wont even allow myself to dream on Soto, but for '25 they could add either of O'neil or Santander and still have 5 to 10M left of Bellinger's money left to spend.

    Welcome back
  5. Tryptamine
    This message board would be going crazy if we were watching PCA do, on the White Sox, what he has been doing here. He's just screaming perennial all-star level talent. edit: Robert also sustained a hamstring injury last night

    They buried themselves with that absolute dumpster fire of a bullpen the first couple months of the season. Even an average pen for those months and we're talking half a dozen more wins and a very different outlook in these last 20ish games.
  7. Tryptamine
    Yes I think Love regresses. He's not the best QB in football and in the 2nd half of last season he statistically was. They're also playing in a significantly improved division.
  8. Tryptamine
    Going to be real surprised if Cam doesn't open 2025 in AA.
  9. Tryptamine
    Part of this is because for some reason he isn't running as much in the 2nd half. He had that crazy 3 SB game, but he's only attempted 10 SB in the 2nd half and he's 9 out of 10. That's 153 PAs. In the first half, 174 PAs, he attempted 17 SB. Despite being on base far less.
  10. Tryptamine
    PCA since the ASB(153 PAs): .281/.331/.482 5.9BB% 19.6K% 126 wRC+ .324babip God please let this be who he is as a hitter now.

    If Jordan Love channels his inner Tom Brady in his prime again like he did the 2nd half of last year I could see it happening. I find that extremely unlikely though.
  12. Tryptamine
    Look, Chapman proved me wrong and had a very nice year, but giving him 6 years when he's going to turn 32 not long after 2025 opening day is craziness.
  13. Tryptamine
    25 additional pitches from Shota is giving up on the season?
  14. Tryptamine
    This is not what he did. Baker did it constantly, not just for 1 game.
  15. Tryptamine
    They got hurt throwing limited innings. It can happen anytime. The likelihood of Shota getting injured on 25 more pitches is just about the same as his first 25. We're not talking Prior going 110 pitches about every time out.
  16. Tryptamine
    None of them got hurt by over pitching, in fact quite the opposite.
  17. Tryptamine
    If we're being honest with ourselves, the playoff hopes are basically dead and 25 additional pitches from Shota isn't changing that
  18. Tryptamine
    Nah
  19. Tryptamine
    Counsell you suck
  20. Tryptamine
    Half an inch from a cycle
  21. Tryptamine
    I mean, they kind of did what we sarcastically talked about right before the all-star break when we were hoping for a top 5 pick. They played just well enough to eliminate any chance of a top 10 pick and maybe not even pick in the top half of the first round.
  22. Tryptamine
    I swear to god this exact conversation happened about 6 months ago, like a month before the draft. People going on for a couple pages about what the #1 overall pick should be called.
  23. Tryptamine
    Rookies, Flagship on the Fox, etc. will all be super packed and I'm kind of aiming for the vibe of, I can hear the TV but still actually hold a conversation with my Dad.
  24. Tryptamine
    Reserved a table at this place near me that is supposed to resemble a "Wisconsin fishing bar" because that's very much my Dad's vibe. I called to make sure they will have the Bears game on. They will, but they weren't sure if the sound would be on. They have like 8 TVs in a smaller venue, but they might not have the sound on? It's noon on a Sunday at a bar, what could possibly be going on that would make it so that they can't have the sound on? I'm not sure if I should find a new place or not because it still seems like that can't possibly be right and I'm trying to keep it to a small venue where there's not a couple hundred people going nuts. By the way, if anyone has been here, opinions are appreciated https://www.dukesnorthwoods.com/

    6 would be a major disaster. This is a far more talented team than the one that won 7 games last year and ,outside of epic collapses, really should have won as many as 10. 8 is about as low as I consider not a big disappointment. My guess is somewhere between 11-8 wins this year. They'll lose a couple games they shouldn't because rookie quarter back and they'll win a couple they probably shouldn't because Caleb flashes.
