I don't usually care one bit about awards like RoY/MVP/CYA/GG, but now that a draft pick comes with RoY I really want to see Drake go on a heater for a few weeks and seal it up.

Profar has always had a good walk rate. The roids added good exit velocity to that good walk rate. Now he still has that good walk rate, is back to his pre-roids exit velocity, and is getting a little lucky on balls in play. His .322 xwOBA is right in line with pre-roid seasons, and a good bit...

I find it a little odd that some folks are having such a hard time understanding a pitch that isn't remarkable itself can be effective when part of a sequence including other pitches, some of which are remarkable themselves. And now that the discussion has moved into the realm of arguing...

Any miraculous 2025 comeback starts with a sweep of the sox. Make it happen, or start tanking already.

Yeah, this is the nuance folks refuse to understand because it doesn't fit the "deadly split" narrative. The pitch does not have good movement metrics, which is an undeniable fact. It's also a fact that the batted ball results are what they are. The difference is one fact isolates the pitch...

If I'm going to masturbate to one of his pitches it will be that curve, or the thought of batters not knowing which way the heater is going to move. The split barely gives me a quarter chub.

Everything Schwelly throws is good/great, which is why he is a TOR guy. However, people don't trip over themselves calling his split "deadly" while masturbating to RPM data like they do with Waldrep's.

Waldrep seems to have reinvented himself a bit in 2025, so let's see what he's throwing now. Spoiler...it's 6 different pitches as classified by Statcast in reverse order of usage: FF: 94.2 mph, 2297 rpm, 0.7" arm, 11.1" vert This was not a good pitch in the last review, and it has somehow...

Now Iggy throwing 98. This team just pulled off the most infuriating 5 game winning streak ever.

AA missed the chance to sell Murphy at peak value. His options now are keep him as an overqualified backup catcher, or trade him for a lesser return than he could have gotten at the deadline.

He looks like he took 2 weeks off.

The way this offense is hitting now makes me so angry. WHERE WAS THIS WHEN THE SEASON STILL MATTERED??

The PAs for Baldwin/Murphy/Ozuna have been mismanaged the entire season, so why change now?

At that point, why are they even standing back there collecting a check?

What happens next year when these terrible umps have 20 missed pitches overturned per game?

This ump is terrible today

Allen not leaving the tag on the runner was pretty dumb.

The hand position has nothing to do with improving chase rate. There was likely some mental block that was unlocked at the same time, but positioning your hands higher doesn’t make you understand the zone better.

Let me make sure I understand… Acuna tweaked his calf on July 28, and told the team. Acuna was allowed to play on July 29 while so clearly injured the announcers mentioned it several times. Acuna spent 2 weeks on the DL recovering from the calf strain. Acuna was given 0 rehab PAs at any...

Snit wouldn’t use the BP correctly “chasing wins” earlier this season, but now he’ll run Acuna into the ground chasing wins in a lost season.
