  1. It's pretty insane that Martin has only allowed 5 hits in 22 IP. What kind of stuff are we talking about here? Depperman has allowed 2 ER in 42 IP since the beginning of 2024. 0 HR. This dude must have some serious stuff, hard to barrel. Cristian needs to get the ball off the ground. His profile at present is unexciting/milquetoast. He just doesn't lift the ball consistently. The KBB is blah. Hope he picks it up, but his batted profile hasn't changed much in the last few years. He might need an overhaul. Rojas seems to be a perfect complementary piece in a trade. He should be in AA soon at 20 years old. That's worth its weight in gold for SS/MIF. High potential. Gallagher is firmly on the radar. Looks like a quick riser.
  2. This much power? No. However, you didn't touch on flyball rate. His FB% in 2023 was 50%, 55 in AA. The potential for power was there, but there was still a lot of bad contact mixed in there. Really high IFFB%, swing speed and EV were kind of meh in 2024. But he's extremely gifted at keeping the ball off the ground. I said several times i thought he would hit for considerably more power than what was expected, but i was a little concerned with the quality of contact. That has been the bigger surprise for me. His barrel% is insane. He really lives in that 104-107 band. I'd really like to know how he never got even a 70 on his speed.
  3. This guy has a 2.0 WHIP, get your horsefeathers together Cobs
  4. Striking out 20 and only allowing a deflected infield single and a HBP will always be the greatest game ever pitched. Sorry.
  5. Cruz broke his own statcast record for hardest hit HR. 122.9. It cleared the stadium into the river in like 2 seconds.
  6. Holy horsefeathers his last pitch was 102.6
  7. Sorry man I don't think he has any interest in developing a 3rd pitch.
  8. Pomeranz has been a freaking revelation. 2 years away from the MLB and he has a .55 WHIP and 10 K9. Massive boon to the pen.
  9. What a horsefeathers offense man. The catcher production has been ridiculous. Huge props to Pomeranz. Hoyer absolutely nailed that pickup. And Palencia got a lot of whiffs there in the 9th. Feels amazing to win that one too.
  10. He can't get through the 5th even in clean starts. This was monumentally stupid of Counsell to pitch him in this inning. What the horsefeathers man.
  11. Wicks will be in Japan in a couple years. It's nice to finally have some interesting homegrown arms and we can start to sort of bandy about some future rotations without laughing to death.
  12. He's allowed 5 hr in 9 starts. He doesn't have big velo and he's always racked up big K numbers. It's pretty clear his pitches are hard to pick up and the deception helps his stuff play up.
  13. 107 stays in the park quite often. Especially when hit to center.
  14. I think it speaks to Abbott's stuff having deception if this many hitters just aren't getting around quick enough. They're just a tick late from pulling.
  15. Remember when we donged Skenes 3 times in 1 game? He hasn't been donged since. Just 4 times all year. He's so horsefeathers good. With that performance and that much control i have a hard time believing Busch, Horton, and Shaw get it done. Skenes would set a whole new precedent. He just hit the 200 IP mark for his career and he has a 2.1 ERA and matching periphs.
  16. Yeah averaged 98.2 in 2023 and he's at 96.3 the last couple years. I dont think its coming back, at least not this year.
  17. Most shocking player development since Sosa 98 or Lee 05. This dude just refuses to let the wave die. I'm convinced he's gonna hit 10 fwar if he stays healthy. I cannot imagine this team without PCA. He's the perfect balance for the patient offense, IMO.
  18. He's gonna get a Witt Jr contract, my goodness
  19. Somebody please get this man a keyboard with apostrophes
