    Not this past year. Fried's Whiff% was 26.6 which was 59th percentile. Suarez was 22.2 which is 24th percentile. Their K rates are similar but Fried gets more swings and misses. Overall they're not too dissimilar pitchers at this point in their careers. Both are guys that rely on inducing...

    At a reasonable contract I'd be okay with him but someone is going to give him more money than you can justify considering the risk level.

    He's among the worst in the league at getting swings and misses. So he's basically entirely reliant on inducing weak contact. If he's not able to hit his spots precisely or if his pitches lose some movement, he's not got much else. He could end up being effective into his 40s. It's just that...

    Suarez strikes me as someone the wheels could come off of very quickly. His fastball is bad and he doesn't miss any bats. He relies on not walking many and getting poor contact. He's not got a lot of margin of error. If his stuff or control declines at all and guys can square him up a little...

    We don't need DeGrom, we have DeGrom at home (Strider).

    He's responsible for my all time favorite movie, The Princess Bride. It's an absolutely perfect film.

    Seager is the kind of difference maker you bet the farm on. I don't think they'll trade him but if they do we need to be all over it.

    Tankathon draft pick watch

    MLB draft is such a crapshoot it's often better to have more picks than super high picks. So getting the Drake pick was a bigger get than if we were picking five spots higher.

    This. The defense struggled early. But the young DBs have come on strong allowing Georgia to dial up the pressure. They had Simpson running for his life.

    Blaming Morris is like blaming a dog driving a car for rear ending you. Sure the dog screwed up but the dog should never have been there in the first place. The real problem is whoever let the dog drive. Morris should never have been hired. He's nowhere near competent enough to do the job and...

    I disagree about ND being favored but including Tulane and James Madison over them is pretty absurd. One is forgivable. Having both is pretty silly.

    The Falcons are potentially the worst team in the league at the moment. They got beat by the Jets, the Saints just beat the Bucs. Not many teams in that bottom tier. Man, Morris was such a ridiculous hire. I can't believe anyone taking a legitimate look at the guy could ever conclude he's head...

    It's hard to believe the Falcons are this bad. This might be the most incompetent coaching I've ever seen. I had very low expectations of Morris when we hired him and I now think I vastly overestimated his abilities. One things for sure, no one can say now that his failure in Tampa was due to a...
