  1. You didn't think that HR went 400 yards?
  2. Will Crowe should run to the KBO like that other Will the Pirate did
  3. He probably has more INT than 1st downs in the playoffs
  4. MLB app caption says "Have a Bias" ripped a solo HR to RF
  5. I'm hoping Dalton looks kind of good but we lose all of his starts, prompting the switch, and we dump him onto a win-now team when their QB goes down. One can dream, right?
  6. He should be released
  7. Thank you. That was electric however fast it actually was.
  8. 58% of Triantos' Ks came in 3 games. Dude is really exciting. Love that swing.
  9. I continue to be totality blown away by Marte. This mf has 20 steals, 0 CS, in 30 games with Oakland. A freaking perfect 100+ pace. He's 42/45 on the year. Top notch sprint speed but your do not get there without unparalleled instinct and know-how. At his age it's one of the most incredible accomplishments this season in baseball.
  10. Watching highlights on the MLB app with captions on is quite a bit of comedy. They have a data bank of names that sometimes hilariously override what the announcers actually say. So the announcer says "breaking ball" and then caption says "Zack Greinke ball". Then for "grand slam" it said "Greg Amsinger" and so on. Every highlight is littered with them.
  11. Hopefully waiting to pounce on a veteran cut or something. Really not liking the moves lately.
  12. We've entered the Millsap sweepstakes. Pretty much exactly what we need at this point.
  13. None of them are as important as launch angle and speed, but wind, spin, and altitude also play pretty big roles in total distance. Thank you. I figured wind did, but on such low trajectory, I just couldn't see it making such a drastic difference.
  14. I readily accept that there's a lot I don't know. This article has me bugging. Maybe some of you can explain how this works. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/a-steep-dive-into-shohei-ohtanis-latest-homer-and-other-statcast-extremes/ So I'm looking at these tables and I see some numbers that are confusing to me. I see 2 different home runs, with almost identical launch angles and exit velocities but with drastically different distances traveled. Look at the table for home runs with the highest EV of the Statcast era. You have Stanton and Machado each with the lowest LA ever recorded on HR, at 15 degrees, Machado at 119.6 and Stanton at 119.3. But Machado's bomb went just 357 feet, whereas Stanton's went 416. Doesn't add up to me.
  15. Boy that decision to keep Graham over Leno sure looms large
  16. Props to Ortega for crushing that up and in fb for the granny horsefeathers Lance Lynn
  17. Would have been a nice opportunity for Fields to make a play there
  18. I really want to know what he was looking at
  19. His ERA was .5 when we traded him lol
  20. Espinoza sure bounced back nicely from that outing where he only recorded 2 outs Last 2 starts: 9 IP 3 H 16:5
  21. Maybe see some lineups with Ball, Caruso, and Jones on the court together? That's some good defense.
  22. He is putting damn near everything in the air with SF
  23. Fields vs Titans is totally gonna get canceled isn't it
  24. Anyone think he can be convinced to abandon switch hitting?
