I read the thread title too quickly and was like: But great pics nonetheless.

More stuff on the splitter. We know stuff+ on FG loves his splitter. But Savant also gives his splitter a Run Value of 7, which ties Waldrep for 5th in the majors among the 42 pitchers that have thrown at least 50 splitters this year. But his RV per 100 pitches actually leads all of MLB at 4.3...

73 wins probably locks us into the bottom 8 and behind Stl and LAA. That would lock us into picking no worse than 12th. But the odds for a top 5 pick would not be great. I don't care about the 90 loss thing. I'd rather go 8-14 or worse in order to greatly improve our odds of getting a top 5 pick.

Where is Jeff Porter when you need him?

On 7/17, Ozzie's season OPS against LHP sat at .512. He had a wOBA of .226 and a wRC+ of 39. His ISO was .046 Today, Ozzies season OPS against LHP sits at .700. His ISO has climbed to .116. His wOBA is .301 and his wRC+ is 91. To say he has been crushing LHP lately is a huge understatement.

Not only has his splitter routinely been called a great pitch by everyone that has seen it, but it has consistently generated a ton of swing and miss. Even when he was struggling and getting lit up like a Christmas tree last year in the majors last year, he was still generating a whiff rate of...

I assume you are being facetious. But in case you aren't, we've got 2 more seasons of cheap options. There is really no need to extend him into his mid 30s. He is never going to be the type to require a significant contract. If he's still good in 2 years, we should be able to resign him for...

LOL, it's hilarious watching Scheff lose his shit when he's wrong. Not only on Waldrep. But Harris, Ozzie, etc.

As long as Ozzie stays healthy, he should be due for another 3-4 war type of season in 2026. But he's rarely been fully healthy (like most of our team unfortunately).

He's still the worst pitcher in baseball over the last 2 seasons by over .5 runs, minimum 150 innings.

It is pretty beneficial to get to face this kid again in such a short amount of time. If we don't manage to hit hard tonight, we'll get a good beat on him for next week,

Kenley Jansen signed for 1 yr and 10 million this past off-season, despite a significantly better 2024 than Iggy has had this year. At his age, Iggy isn't getting 3 years. It's doubtful he gets 2 years. In fact, the only reliever over the age of 35 that signed a multi year deal last off-season...

It wouldn't be the worst thing. But we need to bring in another high level reliever.

Here is another article that mentions Harris before he was drafted and noted his elite vertical approach angle...

Here is a good write up on Harris: https://bravestoday.substack.com/p/what-you-need-to-know-about-hayden-harris

Harris gets an elite 7.2 ft of extension. To only be 6' tall, that he is pretty incredible and is one of a select few pitchers at 6" or shorter with that sort of extension (Strider being one of them). If that is legit (and no reason to think it isn't) then it would make his 92-93 MPH FB play up...

Eh, we are 3-3 vs Washington. And that was back when our rotation was actually healthy and we were playing relatively well. And we're virtually guaranteed to lose to Skenes if he throws in the Pitt series. Just gotta stack a bunch of Ls the next 2 weeks.

IMO, I think Valdez definitely lost millions in FA money right there. Maybe don't like a big baby and intentionally try to injure a teammate 3 months before you are a FA?

I doubt he gets a 3 yr deal. Probably something like 2 for 15, maybe a 3rd year option. Even still, there are several similar players to Castro in FA. Miguel Rojas, Isaiah Kinfer-Falefa, Kyle Farmer, Amed Rosario, Dylan Moore, and even Jose Iglesias is you feel like he has something is left...

True. But the Angels are currently better than us by 3 games and have the head to head, so we would have to play 4 games better than them the rest of the way for the worst possible outcome of picking 13th.
