  1. Damn Schlaffer's got some rise on that 4 seam Hell of a night for the guys at South Bend
  2. Does Harold Ramirez count? Guy is slashing 330/379/452 for Tampa
  3. "High fly ball to left... " *Cameraman shows some kids walking around in foul territory*
  4. What a year for PJ
  5. Low-key I've been wondering if the long game with him is to get him in a rotation. He throws 4 pitches and the sweeper could be a game-changer for him.
  6. Their effort in extra inning games is just embarrassing
  7. Looks like something was off with the stride, foot was landing too early causing his arm to lag
  8. Matt Carpenter has 9 HR in just 70 PA after the Yankees signed him off the street
  9. That is a horsefeathering shitty way for Keegan's night to end
  10. Dalen Terry made some nice ass highlights tonight
  11. Im not expecting him to be around next year
  12. Caissie looked like Corey Seager going down to get that pitch.
  13. Of course Yan Gomes produces 5 straight (and 7 of last 9) seasons of 700+ OPS and comes to the Cubs and goes all Andrelton Simmons on us.
  14. Wow now Morel homers off Gonsolin. This dude looks like a dude.
  15. I have words to eat on that one. They are thinking AFL at earliest, right?
  16. Well this is stating the obvious but this is why they need to hit on a few big additions in FA. the team isn't that far off from having a 2015 season again. They don't have a Bryant but doesnt that outlook change immensely if they add Correa, Xander, or Turner, and a TORP?
  17. Triantos triple to deep center. Wonder if he just missed another dong.
  18. A .300 wOBA backup catcher as the downside is more than fine though, and Higgins's all-field approach might be more likely to beat his exit velocities in a similar way that contact managing pitchers can beat FIP with some regularity. Agree with that, I do appreciate his approach. He has a good feel for what they are trying to do against him and doesn't stray from his plan. Simple stroke, doesn't seem to "try to do too much". I have low-key believed in what he's done this year and think he's earned a long look as a potential back-up.
  19. The think with Higgins is his xWOBA... He just does not pack a punch often enough. But he has gotten favorable results for sure.
  20. I wish all players broke out of the box like Morel.
  21. I see such a drastic dropoff once he reached AAA and I'm wondering if his big struggle has been the bendy and offspeed stuff. He cruised through AA with super rates across the board. Could be, but he only played 19 games at AAA across 2 seasons so I wouldn't read too deeply into that line. Especially since he's got 480 MLB PA at about a league average level to help with some concerns that AAA performance could surface. That's true. He is intriguing, seems to be able to handle himself in the field also, although a SSS. Couple things that they really need to address is the defense IMO, and get more left handed on the offense. I'm just not crazy about adding guys that are going to swing and miss a ton.
  22. I was chatting with a buddy that's a Twins fan this morning and he thought that Larnach might available in a deadline deal. He's currently hurt and may be out of favor with Kirilloff, Miranda, Celestino, and Arraez taking PA where he would get them. I see such a drastic dropoff once he reached AAA and I'm wondering if his big struggle has been the bendy and offspeed stuff. He cruised through AA with super rates across the board.
  23. I’m definitely in on offering Conforto a deal after the draft here. Just sign him up now for the Schwarber contract +/-. That would be insane to me. Schwarber wasn't coming off of shoulder surgery.
  24. Would definitely prefer Conforto, given he's feeling strong. Gallo's valleys are quite low. There is a 17% difference in their career contact rates and I cant ignore that. We certainly need good LHB though. I was wondering, are there guys out there that may be on the outs with their organization but still have multiple years of control and the pedigree to take a chance on? Similar to how the Brewers grabbed Telez but maybe not so fat and otherwise useless? Like, Kelenic comes to mind. His issues with non-fastballs worry me but he laid waste to MiLB pitching and it could come together for him one day. Hoping Mervis gets a look after the deadline and honestly locks down the job to begin 2023. Why not. He looks like a potential starter.
  25. Cannot wait to see that kid in Wrigley
