MLB draft is weird. To me it is about he value you get from the class, not the order. Writing that it is still weird to think about a good 2019 draft with missing so bad on picks 2 and 3.....That said Shuster is on the team and Shewmake has played this year. Harris is a big win. I think...

agree. I would just name the honors, argue about them, and move on. That said, baseball has a problem that there is no national discussion, it's all regional. So bringing everyone together could be a great marketing event....but no evidence they'll improve. I am with Enscheff where I'd...

Thank you. I always say I love these posts you do. When he sucked last year I kept saying I think he'll be a very good 5. He's surpassed my wildest dreams so far this year, and I've been saying he's not this guy. But your last point is very true. 3/4 under team control is super valuable...

That was my take. Not clear. One angle looked like he missed the arm the other did. Bad base running regardless

First inning there was swing and miss on the fastball….good sign

Definitely better . Still too much middle middle. Especially the fastball. But more stuff toward the sides of the zone. I think the velocity dip was him taking some off to try and know where it was going

Valid. I was mostly having done fun. Thewufpk is always a good poster and an analytical one. But I’d still bet that given any set of circumstances, if snit has a 2 plus run lead and a guy in the fourth….he’s pushing for that win. Guy loves the win and the save stat. Just who he is.

Are you new? Who is the manager? Snit is going to do all he can to get him through 5 so he can get the win.

This year is going to traumatize aa. He already obsesses on arms. This draft is going to be 15 college pitchers

Ajss looks exactly like most thought. Good stuff but no command or experience. Hardly has any innings in his life. He doesn’t know where it’s going so batter doesn’t either. This could be part of the low spin rates. Getting good movement on some low spin rates but pitches are much less...

Strider is throwing everything down the middle. He’s said he is struggling mechanically. I’d like to skip a start with him if we have an off day….at least extra rest. I know 95 vs 97 plus matters. But if you are throwing middle middle it doesn’t matter

Only saw the condensed game. Velocity looked ok for strider but location was rough. Even some strike outs were just middle middle. You can’t be there regardless of stuff.

I’ve upgraded my elder projection to say he’s probably a 3.5 era true talent….but that is really good. I still think he’s a guy you play out team control on and let him walk. I don’t see him as an extension guy. But maybe he’ll keep progressing

Amen. Plus losing and still w/o Max and Wright. Had injuries to other key guys as well. The team is very good. I just want us to win the division and get the roster as best as we can for the playoffs. We may not win the division but I think we are a playoff team w/o losing more pitching or...

This seems possible. Not sure how true it is, but it seems like AA has the idea that there is only so many times you can throw 95 plus, so if the guy is doing that as a starter, then you get him up before he drops down. Maybe an extension is in there. Still a little surprised he locked up...

Appreciate these. Like I said before. I think spin rates are good if very high or low. That was my memory. By hood I mean equate to movement. I thought the issue with low spin rate is less predictable movement. This kid also has the least amount of pre mlb innings in history before call up. So...

Always love when you do these. This is what I saw from the performance. I was thinking he looks like another guy I'd put in the 4/5 range. I'd be happy with 6 innings and 3 runs. In the playoffs, he'd potentially be a one time through the order middle relief guy. Maybe next year he has the...

Rosario is the one I don't get. I knwo we owe him money, but it's expiring and not that much. I'd rather see Hillard out there. I think Hillard is way better on defense and just might be better on offense. Keep Rosario around to pinch hit and play vs the Dodgers. I believe in Harris long...

Agree. Of course, as others have said, he's known for being hot and cold. Could just be hot. And the issue with signing him wasn't this year, it was his production in his mid to late 30s on a 7 year deal. Arcia.....I expect to crash. He wouldn't have signed that extension if he thought he...

He's had one good start right? I'd start him over a bullpen game. But otherwise I'd like to see him string 3 good starts in a row. Plus we don't know what his pitch metrics look like. Maybe this was just a bad hitting team? Last I heard he had made some major changes to his mechanics and he...
