  1. Almora now has a higher OPS than Cain lol
  2. We're just chomping at the bit to swing at trash
  3. Hard contact is good but up the middle against these guys it's generally going to lead to frustrating outs
  4. Wick just has to dial in those walks a little bit. Definitely has the stuff to be a cheap mainstay for us for the next couple years.
  5. Phillies and Pale Hose in the 15th inning. Vince Velasquez is playing LF while Roman Quinn is pitching. Velasquez just missed an assist on a laser to the plate and then followed it up with a 5 star diving catch. 15% catch probability. It was the first 5 star catch for the Phillies this year lol
  6. How about if they're doing it again only with our best player, again?
  7. I'm hoping we get James Rowson back.
  8. You clung on till the bitter end last season so I would expect no different... But our core guys better snap out of this. This is a broken offense as of right now. There's no way around it. These guys are very slow to make adjustments.
  9. He has bone chips/spurs in his elbow, he can only go around 70-80 pitches an outing because of it. Ah I see
  10. Arrieta was pulled after giving up the first run of the day with an 8 run lead and at just 71 pitches in the 5th lol
  11. Saw that. I'm hoping he had just checked out mentally. He made some comments that certainly point to being frustrated with the team and the cavernous ballpark. But yeah those numbers are disgusting. He shouldn't bat 2nd against RHP at all.
  12. Feels like they picked him up just to mow us down a few times
  13. Dixon homered again and now has a 921 OPS with an excellent BBK. I know his MLB career has been awful but i kind of separate this year into a class of it's own and I wouldnt be surprised if he carried a substantially higher ISO upon a promotion. I think hes earned a look. Garcia has options and Machado doesnt. Make the switch.
  14. These guys are brutal on the road. I would like to see them play against the Iowa Cubs and see what would happen.
  15. Kyle got 93 right in the heart of the plate and swung right through it. Have to crush meatballs when they come. Man.
  16. 99% sure it’s box score magic. Opposing starter supposedly threw 36 pitches in 5 innings with 2 walks, 4 hits, and 5 Ks. Ah I probably should've checked that
  17. If Bryant catches it and applies the tag hed have been out because he came off the bag.
  18. Patterson is having a hell of a night 39 pitches, 35 for strikes, 9 Ks and 1 walk. That's insane. I have honestly never seen that at any level
  19. 1) I had not broken it down like that obviously. Didn't even know how to. But I think it's fair to add in the time he spent at AAA where everyone including Theo admitted he has a lot of work to do against breaking and offspeed pitches and determine that those issues are manifesting themselves at the MLB level, wouldnt it? Admittedly very good points ...did I go too far again? Nah I dont care. I pretty much expect to get the smackdown from TT when I post like that. He probably could've drawn back the condescension but it is what it is.
  20. 1) Garcia has less than 60 PA, those numbers are not meaningful 2) Wainwright gets destroyed by LH and has a below average K rate against them, that matters too 3) Garcia has less than 60 PA, those numbers are not meaningful 4) Even if they were meaningful, Garcia's SSS pitch values are only problematic against sliders and changeups, which combine to make up 1.4% of Wainwright's arsenal this year(in practice these are almost certainly crappy curveballs) 1) I had not broken it down like that obviously. Didn't even know how to.

  21. I pulled for Robel as much as anybody to be promoted but his numbers against breaking and offspeed are dreadful. Like 66% whiff rate on breaking and 55 on offspeed. Putting him at the top against Wainwright is really not smart.
  22. Anyone know anything about Kevin Ginkel? This is a dude in the DBacks system and hes been a guy who generally posts 35ish K-BB%. Hes 25 and this year hes pitched 32 innings between AA/AAA and has 60 Ks to just 11 walks. Why haven't they brought him up yet? He has to be in their immediate plans right? His K9 at AAA is just below 20 right now. Hes a flyball pitcher but damn his numbers are insane. I'm surprised he hasnt gotten the call yet.
  23. Stroman has 1 year and has never been as good as Noah. Pretty stupid parameter.
