  1. Sonny threw a Maddux against the Cardinals - 1 hit 11:0 Want.
  2. It looks like they grabbed some decent shooting prospects in UDFA anyway so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
  3. That must be why theres several articles with the Cubs saying its the same thing he faced in 2024
  4. deGrom is in an entirely different tier than those guys, but yeah, we could be sitting here for 15 years expecting his arm to explode and it never does. You never know. Hes probably better off throwing 105 60% of the time than throwing breaking pitches for 60, IDK.
  5. We're overdue for some random breakout like this
  6. Probably a sign relayed from Chourio. Just obliterated 450 feet.
  7. Cant believe they didn't challenge the pitch prior
  8. Oh the game is also on AppleTV horsefeathers you, MLB
  9. The improvement on his fastball from last year to this one is insane. I just want our guys to at least break his 9-start without an XBH allowed streak.
  10. We all know Pete is an otherworldly defensive outfielder, making absurdly hard catches look easy. We also know that Kevin Kiermaier is the gold standard for value-provided in the Statcast era. He is the all-time leader in 5-star catches, accumulated over a 9-year span since 2015. Devin Hester put up an astonishing 11 return TDs in his first 2 seasons, not including the Super Bowl (or another in which a BS penalty got called on the Bears and cost him another TD) and setting the career record was basically an inevitability after that. Well PCA is already tied with Kiermaier for career 5-star catches, in 2.5 seasons! Hester's legendary feat is really the only achievement among the 4 major sports I can think of that comes close to this feat, without going back to Babe Ruth out-homering the entire league by himself. He's setting an insurmountable bar. We are so blessed to have him. Cherish this dude and all the foibles that might come with his game.
  11. Mendoza said it plainly; they just didnt execute vs him. A lot of relative meatballs. The offspeed and breaking are going to be laid on pretty thick again I would think. We will see if he can do any damage against that.
  12. Man what a comment section. People trying to speak for everyone with the most embarrassing thoughts one can conjure.
  13. Comparative to the rest of the league it'll so probably be bottom 5-10 but there are a lot more high- upside guys than in years past IMO. They need to have another strong draft and try to stay ahead of the attrition. They seem to be really far behind in IFA scouting and that needs to change yesterday. There's really no excuse to be lacking in that dept.
