  1. Also from Smith Anyone know which specific additions to the infrastructure he could be referring to? Is it that pitching lab they built in Arizona? We also added/replaced some of the coaching/trainers/staff through the org that seem to be more forward thinking and analytically inclines. We also hired than former player (who’s name escapes me) who has like a biomechanics degree from MIT as example. Edit: I was thinking of Craig Breslow, he’s “Director of Strategic Initiatives for Baseball Operations” and he went to Yale and has degrees in molecular biophysics and biochemistry. Hmm, pretty awesome stuff. I hadn't realized we made these changes. Could definitely be a major factor in how were getting these breakouts and I've felt like our pitching has taken a noticeable step forward on the farm.
  2. Looking at the top 30 fwar offensive leaderboard is funny right now. There's maybe 10 players on there that you would expect to be on there. The Royals have 3 on there, in Mondesi, Gordon, and Dozier You have Andrus, Gallo, Polanco, Alonso, Anderson (1.9 walk rate with a 410 wOBA; where are the articles decrying this as impossible like we got with Javy?), Lowe, Mancini, McNeil, etc. Seeing DeJong 3rd just pisses me off.

  4. I think Theo might've gotten it right with Hottovy and Iapoce. At least with our offense I truly feel like he's helped quite a bit, in particular with oppo slugging. And our starters are more efficient and able to go 7 more often. I like what I'm seeing.
  5. I couldn't understand it at the time when I read his HS scouting reports and I'll never, ever, understand it, how our FO, thought they should use a 6 on this guy.
  6. Someone's whole reply is, "Molina is incredible"
  7. Bellinger has 2.8 fwar already. horsefeathering insane slash line 427/500/913
  8. Hatch bounced back and had a really nice start 6 IP 2 ER 5:0
  9. Steele got lit the horsefeathers up Velasquez stayed hot and pushed his OPS over 800
  10. Holy hell that is terrible
  11. We've had several days off and Davis really shouldn't play
  12. How many games does the 2016 team win with this version of Javy?
  13. Nah I like Eloy, I hope he rakes. Just Q should also rake Nothing against the guy but I am so sick of hearing the complaints about how we gave up a generational hitter for a bottom rotation pitcher.
  14. So Q is back to being at least a 2 and Eloy has an OPS sandwiched between Bryant and Schwarber with absolutely no defensive value added. This should keep up and I would be a very happy man.
  15. And he wants to be closer to his family in Chicago
