2023 “Other Games” Thread
Transmogrified Tiger replied to PackLandVA's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Miles Mikolas turns 35 in August, and since his first year back from overseas has missed about 30% of available starts and pitched at a 2.5 win pace when he has been healthy. The Cardinals just extended him for 2/40 for '24-'25 and he is rewarding them by giving up nearly as many runs as he has outs so far. -
oh do you not like the classic sound of Randy Arozarena walking to the fence to sign autographs during the WBC

Nothing can convince me that Rowdy Tellez isn't a slow pitch softball player who just showed up one day and talked his way into an MLB lineup
-
It's a bad swing decision, but Bellinger getting the barrel to the 92 mph cutter well off the inside is probably a good thing for his mechanical corrections?
-
Hosmer please don't get the pitchers killed, these are the things that probably shouldn't need to be said out loud
-
That is extremely flattering to the point of making me uncomfortable, but the takes being simple/bad is unsurprising. I remember one of my earliest posts advocating for trading for Lew Ford as the CF of the future. Curiosity and posting through it can take you a long way!

wyd it's YAN GOMES running down the line
-
I've seen a bunch that have the natural two seamer tail so my guess is he's amped up and overthrew a couple 2 seamers or changeups

Seems inconclusive, he said without a shred of bias
-
Tellez's dive was somehow slower and shorter than if he had just taken a step and reached
-
Mancini looks like offspring of Corey Stoll and Paul Scheer, not sure how to process this
-
Anderson after that K

Stroman buddy you're paid to throw a ball overhand, go ahead and do that when you're 40 feet from first
-
I didn't say they were there yet

Three pitch strikeout of Yelich is how you play your way into my heart

Ah, well, nevertheless

2023 “Other Games” Thread

boy are things bleak for the Nationals -
How many minutes of game time does the pitch clock need to save before Marquee realizes they don't need a 3rd person in the booth to fill every single second of airtime
-
Gomes in front of Hosmer(even without a LHH in front of Gomes) feels like an early data point on what they think of Hosmer
-
Don't sleep on Alzolay too. I've somehow lost all memory of him pitching at the MLB level last year, but the early returns on him as a multi-inning reliever are, uh, good: 6 G, 13.1 IP, 3.38 ERA, 19/2 K/BB, 1 HR

I like the Wicks one, I think in general we're probably sleeping on his impact because he doesn't have cartoonish velocity and there's interesting guys in front of him. He took 2 starts to adjust to AA and then was lights out afterwards(21 IP, 2.57 ERA, 27/8 K/BB, 1 HR). Between Wesneski, Wicks, Kilian(I still believe) and Brown I think there's a strong chance you feel comfortable with 2 rotation spots from that group in 2024(albeit possibly not on opening day). Considering the current rotation is all under contract for 2024 that's fine too and speaks to the depth that is there at the moment.

Minor League CBA Deal in Place
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Does the MLB roster count towards that limit? If so it feels like with inevitable injury rehabs and such that the MiLB rosters start getting a little lean to stay in those lines. -
Considering Seiya's injury and Burnes being the opposing starter, everyone now has 24 hours to mentally prepare themselves for the strong possibility of Nick Madrigal: Opening Day Third Baseman

Minor League Musings
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Maybe they give one of the new relievers some piggyback type work to give them time to flesh out any adjustments? Elias was starting in winter ball and is new to the org and is the first candidate that comes to mind.
