His wildness is a new thing, right? I don’t give AF about his spin rate on his breaking ball, the MF’er can’t locate his fastball. He has always been a low control/high walk guy, but not to these record-breaking proportions.

I haven't been exposed to Berhalter a ton, but from what I see I think he's about as good a fit as an MLS coach can be. This video was a nice primer. Of course, it also inspired me to want to watch all of the videos from that channel, so dive in at your own risk.

From a superficial look, he's getting super unlucky. His BABIP is 100 points below his career average, with no material change in batted ball type. He is pulling the ball more so maybe he's hitting into shifts a bit, but not 100 points of BABIP bad.

this reminded me...not that the location and lefty thing don't still make this very improbable, but not sure if you saw this the other night because it might've been lost at the bottom of the page. that's been the case this year. i know i read it recently. maybe BN or maybe Duke's post. https://www.fangraphs.com/pitchfx.aspx?playerid=4940&position=OF&pitch=FA https://www.fangraphs.com/pitchfx.aspx?playerid=4940&position=OF&pitch=SL https://www.fangraphs.com/pitchfx.aspx?playerid=4940&position=OF&pitch=CU https://www.fangraphs.com/pitchfx.aspx?playerid=4940&position=OF&pitch=CH I did see it, but I did not want to entertain anything but righteous anger at Smoltz, plus I am very distrustful of pitch-specific metrics(especially for hitters) and most importantly I am too proud.

Mekkes with a walk and a balk but no hits or runs in his Iowa debut #Mekkeswatch -
ah yes 96 up in the zone from a lefty, or as I call it, Heyward catnip

[tweet]https://twitter.com/RobUsry/status/1004439155106033664[/tweet] I am already beginning emotional preparations for it to be Vermes. On one hand, what style of play better suited for imposing your will in CONCACAF matches. On other hand, what a trashbag brand of soccer it is. A dilemma.

Looney and Reindl have some solid numbers as relievers, Looney's especially are video game worthy at that lower level of competition.

My homer pick that I'd like to see the Cubs take at this point is Trey Harris from Mizzou. Senior sign and only a 4th OF profile, but we're past the point of taking college pitchers who don't throw strikes and college hitters who can't hit, so there's little risked. Doing this in this year's SEC isn't bad: .316/.413/.516, 11 HR, 34/22 K/BB

Honestly, I'll consider this whole draft a win as long as we don't pick him. The Cubs don't need the bad publicity, but I wonder on a more societal level whether he should forever be barred based on a teenage mistake (his claims of innocence not withstanding). The move toward felons voting is picking up steam, and I think that's probably consistent with where our society is going. The Obama Administration was very committed to the idea of keeping the official records of teen offenders clean as not to hamper them later on (see Nikolas Cruz). I just wonder if Luke Hemlich is different because he might make millions of dollars. Being able to vote is on a different scale than playing on a baseball team that has hundreds of thousands of people who support and identify with it. I'm sympathetic to the idea that committing a crime at age 16 shouldn't doom a person for life, but Heimlich playing baseball does not exist in a bubble. The signal it sends to other folks who have been impacted by sexual assault matters, and alienating them is not worth the chance that Heimlich is .4 wins better than an alternative, nor is it truly unfair that Heimlich's mistakes mean certain career paths are not viable.

I look forward to not remembering that in a few days. -

Am I the only one completely incapable of remembering the difference between Hatch and Lange? Like I know Hatch was the OSU 3rd rounder and Lange the LSU guy, but their profiles are similar enough that every time I read something about one of them I never internalize it as them specifically. -
Reynolds’ K rate this year was only 17%, after the above I was worried it was north of 20. I look forward to irrational optimism with him after Filiere has not repaid my love so far this year.

Drafting a whole university seems like a shrewd use of a pick

I am not a scout, but that does not look like a good breaking ball.

if only there wasn't some incredibly dumb political controversy in baseball, then Carl going to see dinosaur museums instead of visiting the Trump WH could've gotten a similar response as the Eagles.

Opposing teams get 4 outs at the plate for 2 seasons.

He appears to be a multi-inning reliever, 26 appearances, 1 game started, 71 IP. A good one too, 61 H, 2.41 ERA, 96/20 K/BB, 4 HR Tennessee Tech is in a super regional this weekend.
