    58% of Triantos' Ks came in 3 games. Dude is really exciting. Love that swing.

    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.

    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.

    Hopefully waiting to pounce on a veteran cut or something. Really not liking the moves lately.

    We've entered the Millsap sweepstakes. Pretty much exactly what we need at this point.

    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.

    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.

    Boy that decision to keep Graham over Leno sure looms large
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    Props to Ortega for crushing that up and in fb for the granny horsefeathers Lance Lynn
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    Would have been a nice opportunity for Fields to make a play there
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    I really want to know what he was looking at
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    His ERA was .5 when we traded him lol
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    Espinoza sure bounced back nicely from that outing where he only recorded 2 outs Last 2 starts: 9 IP 3 H 16:5
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    Maybe see some lineups with Ball, Caruso, and Jones on the court together? That's some good defense.
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    He is putting damn near everything in the air with SF
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Fields vs Titans is totally gonna get canceled isn't it
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    Anyone think he can be convinced to abandon switch hitting?
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    I don't care much about the rankings; it's just too bad that Amaya and Marquez seasons were wash outs.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Seriously, Brewers Who the horsefeathers is Jake Cousins?
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    Triantos' numbers after his first 2 games are fantastic. 10% K with a 150 wRC+
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    I was thinking if my kids end up caring about sports I'll encourage them to pick whichever team they want to root for. If Tampa can keep dominating for the next couple years that will be quite an easy decision for them to make.
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    That old ass Starling Marte is 36/39 in steals this year, including 14/14 since his trade to Oakland. Back up the Brinks truck for him please.
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    Votto went into the ASB with a 257/347/463 line He's at 282/375/581 now Ridiculous

    History says “never”, as OL has been a concern every year I’ve watched this team (under multiple coaches and GM’s) It was league best throughout the 80s and quite good during much of Lovie's run. Angelo and Pace both went on extended runs of failing to address it, but it takes one or two signings to significantly upgrade things in a hurry. Yep 2005 they signed Tait and Brown and boom they had one of the best in the league

    Stringing along 2 of our very few stars in search of new contracts, injuries already, tough ass schedule, Nagy seemingly still lacking in coordinating the offense with playcalls taking more than half of the play clock up, and probably a few weeks starting Andy Dalton. Probably a 6-7 win season. Pace really hamstrings the team's depth with his continual proclivity for putting all his eggs in one basket. This Jenkins situation is infuriating.
