    Add on a HR in the 8th to push his OPS over 1.000
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    Merryweather since getting shelled in his first outing of the year: 17 IP, 13 H, 5 ER, 20/4 K/BB, 2 HR EDIT: Updated for his 2nd inning
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    what a weird play by Stott, both the slide and spin were unnecessary and slow even if it was low odds of getting Suzuki
  4. Transmogrified Tiger
    gonna start calling Madrigal "The Weapon", see if it catches on
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    A little bit surprised that both Madrigal and Mastrobuoni survive that shuffling, but when you're losing a CF and a 1B there's room to do so I guess. I understand that there's not a whole lot of playing time on offer with Morel slated to get the CF time(and the bench needs that LHH infusion), but Velazquez still is probably bummed to not be back up.

    It's Jim Bowden, but he lists BJ Murray in this article on "Prospects you don't know but should": https://theathletic.com/4528412/2023/05/18/mlb-prospects-mets-yankees-braves

    I went to bed after 3, which meant I could overhear the PA announcer on the TV broadcast: "And that's the end of the third overtime period, I am so sorry"
  8. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yeah, the Alcantara thing is about roster math, Davis is more about with every day/week that passes where he doesn't hit the ball with authority means this is increasingly likely who he is post-injuries.
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    Alcantara and Davis are really really bumming me out, we've seen guys turn it on with warmer weather before, but each of them have an urgency that I don't know if you're gonna have the confidence in their profile in time.

    Really enjoying this trend
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    I'm curious about we think is most damaging on this front. Is it hitters getting a literal view of the fastball? In that case it feels like a very fine margin, because if hitters see 15 pitches across 3 PA against Steele, a 15% increase is 2 pitches. And if it's about the team's whole exposure to the pitch(and they're getting some view from the dugout or second hand experiences), that feels like an even more diffuse phenomenon. The other thing I wonder about(and I'm not sure how to quickly check) is how much this is a reflection of command, and the ebbs and flows of fastball use(especially to RHH) may be reflective of how many 1-0s Steele is facing v. 0-1s, etc.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    there is nothing quite like a good left handed power swing, love seeing Mervis getting in front of that
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    Same thing for me, couple hours of CSS being broken(and the scaled images alone meant you couldn't really read anything) on both laptop and mobile. Fixed now.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    Some perspective on this that won't help with all the baseball-related annoyance but is still useful. No division winner in the last 10 years has won 87 games, only 3 out of the last 60 won 88 and the rest won 90+. Even after a 7-1 hot streak, in order for the Cardinals to win 88 games they still need to play at a 96 win pace the rest of the season. To be in the wild card conversation, which last year required 87 wins but could drop as low as 84 based on past standings, they need to play at a 91 win pace the rest of the year.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Have to imagine he's been distracted by the body pillow he's been dating, James Franco style.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    .180 xBA on that home run, what a great sport
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    The Morellercoaster continues
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    All 4 runs on Morel there, that was as bad as any misplay that got Schwarber his DH reputation. In some ways worse because he did not have very far to travel.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    The 5th starter isn't technically needed again until the finale of the Mets series on the 25th, so I guess they'll punt the 40 man decisions until then. Hendricks' 30 days on rehab would be about up by then, so that's the cliff for making another 40 man call.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Stipulated. So unless a pitcher has become mostly dead very quickly, I'm guessing they're kicking a reliever off the 40 man and Boxberger is the really obvious candidate.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Adding a reliever to the 40 man so close to when Hendricks (and soon after Heuer) are going to need 40 man spots leads me to think this might be the end of the road for Boxberger, unless someone has gone from zero to extremely injured very quickly
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Said another way, he had 2 bad starts in his last 5, bookending 3 starts that had a 2.54 ERA
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Of all the unexpected positive things that could happen, I did not have ‘Gomes puts up a 130 wRC+’ on my bingo card
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    genuinely wondering if I have a better arm than Farmer
