  1. Coal-black Hamel, more than a little Lugo-ish
  2. To hear these MLBTV dudes talk, it's impressive how many "pure hitters" were seemingly bred in eugenics labs 18-21 years ago.
  3. That slot thing-- saving money to bowl over Rocker-- HAS to be it, right? With plenty of more visible prep talent and good college hitters out there-- South Carolina's Ethan Wilson, e.g.-- reaching for this Canuckleballer doesn't seem to make much sense, otherwise. i wonder if they'd have grabbed Jaden Hill (a scary, scary 6'4' who was a top-5 prospect this year before Tommy John) had he fallen a few more slots. EDIT: A work friend of mine who's plugged into area high school ball/scouting in the area just texted me to say we REALLY missed out not getting funky, funky NJ lefty Solameto (Bishop Eustace HS).
  4. Good, all things considered. You could argue that an overwhelming majority of our key players have been hanging out in their bottom-third, expectations-wise... with not many (Stroman?) unsustainably lingering in their top-third. They were basically living waiver-wire-to-mouth for a damn month! Jon Gray or Kyle Gibson-- or even a middle-reliever or three on an expiring contract, on the cheap-- would be a delightful add.
  5. It is unequivocally the worst among the most advanced nations/economies. By design.
  6. Most strikeouts in Div. 1. Consistent college track record. Droolworthy, Pitching Ninja-lovable stuff. Former pro athlete as parent. What's not to f'ing like?
  7. =G-Fafif post_id=70895 time=1625882396 user_id=55] No NFL to any longer distract the pro sports fans of San Diego.
  8. I know who 9 is! (Now.)
  9. Tony Clark was a switch-hitter?
  10. =Fman99 post_id=70902 time=1625882774 user_id=86] Ten Mets have done it, 24 times in total. I feel a quiz coming on (I can't run it. I have no f'in clue who they all are)
  11. Double-decker stylee, no less
  12. They want Mauricio? Cool. Give us Bryant AND Davies, you cheap fuckers. Top prospects are expensive. We'll even throw in a low-A pitchy guy. You want MORE? Near-major-league-ready? For a rental? Go fish in the Padres' pool. Good luck dragging the bottom of their minor league system, post-this-offseason.
  13. =Marshmallowmilkshake post_id=70879 time=1625881398 user_id=119] A Yankee-lovin' Stony Brook grad?
  14. Even better: the TERRIBLE Nationals booth's... um... description of events.
  15. Rules say that every team has to have a player selected... but not necessarily participating. So... Walker doesn't HAVE to be picked. The NL is LOADED with SPs, to the extent that even guys like Freddy Peralta (122 K in 87 IP, 2.17 ERA), Walker Buehler (8-1, 2.35), or Joe Musgrove (2.63 ERA AND the no-hitter). Hell, Scherzer (2.10 ERA, just under 13 K/9) and Kershaw (2.8 fWAR, 7th in the majors) are on the outside looking in. What REALLY sucks is Diaz-- having the best overall year of any reliever not named Josh Hader-- losing out to guys like Alex Reyes (1.54 ERA and 20 saves... with at least half of those coming in lucky, white-knuckle fashion, along with 7 BB/9) and Mark Melancon, who's maybe the fourth best reliever on his TEAM.
  16. And AGAIN with the hold at third
  17. Not to be that guy, but Stroman hasn't gotten HALF the borderline calls all game nthat Loaisga has this inning.
  18. Edgy MD wrote: Gary DiSarcina holding three Mets in a row to third on singles to Judgie. Including guys like McNeil and McKinney. This seems to be a matter of policy. If so, this is a bad policy.
  19. One starting pitcher option is off the table, as for Mets minor leaguer Mickey Janis has been purchased and brought to the majors by Baltimore. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/orioles-finally-call-knuckleball-pitcher-220218219.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/sports/orioles-finally-call-knuckleball-pitcher-220218219.html He's only knuckleball pitcher in baseball. Later And he PITCHED! He got treated like AAA Jannis, not Rumble Pony Jannis, but-- hey! He pitched!
  20. We've gotten to the shitty retread longman portion of their bullpen in the third, so in a way, we've already won.
  21. Screwin' them fuckers into the ground with sliders now. I LIKE this kid.
  22. =seawolf17 post_id=68902 time=1624493029 user_id=91] Yeep, Tylor is a big dude.
  23. LINDOR, GOD OF THUNDER
  24. Hey, McNeil has a hit with RiSP!
  25. =Centerfield post_id=68895 time=1624492106 user_id=65] I like this kid. Maybe this is 2014 deGrom.
