  1. Get horsefeathers excited guys. Been a long time since we had a toolsy player like this.
  2. Insane. The dude is pretty much perfect. Every tool is completely maxed out.
  3. That looked like a slow swing and he crushed it 400 feet
  4. Bote's slam will always be legendary. It didn't work out but I don't think it was a bad gamble at all.
  5. Can we pry Gore away? He needs a change of scenery.
  6. This is a newly reworked swing? Dudes raw strength is very evident. Really just a flick of the wrists and the ball explodes.
  7. Some day. PCA will be the guy to end the cycle drought. Honestly when I watched the replay I thought he would have had it standing up. The RF lollygagged. Surprised it was so close.
  8. PCA has a top 10 K rate in MLB this month. Pretty nuts.
  9. Eberflus said he's concerned about the DT depth and we trade for a LB? Weird on the surface for me. I know nothing about this dude though.
  10. It's kind of surprising no staff ever decoded that
  11. That meme is so good, horsefeathers hell 😭
  12. Kopech has faced 30 batters with the Dodgers and allowed 1 walk and 1 hit. That horsefeathers organization, man... I bet he's in their rotation next year pushing for a CY lol
  13. Shaw's closed stance and high leg kick raise a little concern with me. The stance possibly limits the pull-side power and the leg kick as we know leaves a lot of vulnerability to change of speed. Can't deny that they have not held him back thus far though. Now sitting at 600 pro PA and he's hit 300/382/512 with a .62 BBK, 25 HR 42 SB. Tantalizing stuff. And I absolutely love what he does when he recognizes a fastball away. MLB teams will probably attack him inside relentlessly, however, and he'll need to prove that he can punish the high-inside heat.
  14. Likely an offseason acquisition, Hodge, Neely, or Little if he comes back healthy next year. Little could be an outstanding closer as he's allowed just 3 HR in about 150 professional IP. I think his delivery puts some extra strain on that shoulder though which could be a recurring issue.
  15. That has to be really hard to pick up. That arm-action is crazy.
  16. Wheeler suffered a knee injury. Would be a bummer end for that kid's preseason if it turns out to be serious.
  17. Scott had a killer game as I was hoping he would and damn Deebo Jones, I see you.
  18. I am really anxious to see what we do about Catcher because it is a desolate position across the league and not many non-contenders have a good one to trade for. The team really has 2 spots they will realistically look to upgrade IMO - C and 2B, 1. Sign Soto. But I think we all know that isn't happening. 2. Trade Nico because the team only has a couple spots it can realistically upgrade & they badly need more power, even if it downgrades the defense. 3. Trade for a C prospect - Dodgers refused to include Rushing in a deal for Crochet, so they probably want to line him up for a bigger trade. There are a few veteran C who can hit and might be available but lack the overall game you want out of the position. I truly believe Hoyer needs to dig deep and find a Busch-style trade for a C prospect that is blocked and a team is willing to move.
  19. The dreaded TBD. Hope Steele is in prime form.
  20. I legit think if Judge stays healthy he will post 7-8 career 50 Hr seasons. He almost has a 1.2 OPS and 400 ISO this year, with an outside shot of a 400 BABIP. A player has never accomplished both in one season. Ruth did both but never in the same season. The year he posted a 423 BABIP he had a 372 ISO. He's the only one to accomplish both in a career. Unfuckingreal how good Judge is. To do this in this era is absolutely nuts. Of course he had to pop-up for the Yankees, of all organizations.
