    Schwindel is worse at 1B than everyone thought Schwarber was at the outfield, which is really saying something
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    Good thinking Nico, clearly hitting the ball right on the screws isn't working, time to deploy the bloops

    BJ Murray's gotta be backfilling Mervis at South Bend pretty soon, he's starting to make a mockery of Myrtle Beach: 140 PA, .342/.471/.532, 19% K%, 16% BB%

    Scally is playing so poorly he's gonna get shoved behind Tim Ream in the LB pecking order for Qatar

    Why couldn’t that be an option other than it being a major geographic outlier? Mexico would seem like the more natural fit culturally but I’m sure they’d rather have a country that A) can bring in more revenue and B) give road matches in the US a home field advantage. Not like switching confederations is unprecedented. I think he was talking about merging CONCACAF and CONMEBOL, which would have some benefits(CONCACAF would love the increased depth of quality, CONMEBOL would love having a better shot at qualifying) but probably wouldn't happen for political and logistical(imagine a Vancouver to Santiago window for qualifying) reasons.

    I just don't really see a ton of upside with Calhoun, his problem has always been more approach than mechanical and he hasn't had the performance or scouting highs that Frazier has had to dream on. Also, you've got Suzuki, Villar, Bote, and Hermosillo who are gonna be coming for a roster spot within a couple weeks, so you don't need an external option to satisfy a desire to punt Heyward and Rivas

    As a Liverpool fan that would be extremely fun, but as a USMNT fan I'm not super jazzed about another situation where Pulisic is in a dogfight for playing time. At least Liverpool has a lot less dysfunction so it would presumably be a less capricious thing than it was at Chelsea. Personally I liked the Milan rumors a bit better for his long term trajectory.

    I dunno guys maybe with a few more tries the fastball over the outer half might get by Donovan
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    I noticed this too, Madrigal was staring him down as he jogged to the dugout
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    why is Morel leaving to back up 2nd on that pitch
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    when you drop the bat below your waist before the guy releases the pitch, your bunt attempt is already about doomed
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    call it
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    They're gonna have to put Mervis in Iowa before the 4th of July at this rate
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    another unbelievable plate appearance by Morel
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    almost better to just take strike 3 on that pitch, even if you catch up to it you're beating it into the ground
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    are they really gonna let Heyward and Simmons go at it again
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Morel's gotta know that's do or die and you need to barehand it
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    the sound the ball makes coming off Simmons' bat makes me wonder if he's swinging a souvenir bat he found at the ballpark
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    this is fun i am having fun
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    2 K's and shattering Goldschmidt's bat, yeah that'll do
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    105 PA, .281/.333/.542, 6 HR, 7.6% BB%, 18% K%
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Has anyone identified an appreciable change to Swarmer's pitches or pitch mix in AAA this year? He had been donged to oblivion in Iowa in both 2019 and 2021, but his HR rate and BABIP have dropped dramatically this year. If there's some repeatable reason for that then yeah he could definitely play the Mills role for a few seasons.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    Schwindel is now over 100 PA since his 24 hour demotion and has a wRC+ of about 130 in that time
