He appears to specialize in SSS sub-2.00 ERAs.

Have you ever been in a dugout when one of your teammates or players connects and it might go out and not looked at it?

Serious question, then. He had an adequate fastball and a really good change and made it work through 2+ seasons and has an incredible postseason record despite a near-unanimous opinion here that his stuff is trash. You don't have to spin a spike curve. In fact, lower is better. You have to...

Mark Bowman has lost eight pounds on Ozempic.

He was poorly scouted and overrated. Doesn't even seem like a Braves pick. Should have been one of the stupid teams that falls in love with the radar gun. He can't find home plate and never will. Spin rates and velo don't matter with 35 command.

I love the way he ****s all over the guy and then at the end for the money shot it's oh yeah, had a 2.38 ERA and a near 30% K rate over 80 innings.

I would like Castillo from the Mariners. But we'd have to come up with a deal that didn't include Kelenic, they had enough of his **** out there.

Agree, but Flaherty would not have been without exceptional risk. Yanks backed out last year over his back.

I like Castillo a lot despite his age. Great command, underrated.

I am a Florida grad, and I did not share that view. I put a heavy premium on command, and the guy couldn't find home plate with a shovel and a flashlight. He walked 5 per 9 with a 4.50 ERA. The Fangraphs writer ignored the WS game when he got rocked but his teammates papered it over with 24...

Heh. Actually, the way I take that is he's saying we have enough swinging dicks to fill the rotation, but are open to acquiring an actual established ML starting pitcher. For me, there is one that I like a lot -- would fit the bill and might be affordable, doesn't seem to have a job offer...

Right. And he was at 86.5 in 2023. So that will be a clear benchmark. Wonder if a leg kick makes that much difference. xwOBA was .365, so I think it was real improvement but question whether it is sustainable. Alex says he thinks it is. But last year Alex put a lot of chips on Kelenic, and...

7th, maybe? Acuña Harris Ozuna Riley Olson Albies Profar Murphy Arcia Before Acuña is back, move everybody up one and hit Kelenic eighth

Hey, I'm okay with that!

Halle-****ing-lujah. Well, this is not exactly Alex's buy low model, but he is a professional baseball player who can stand in a corner outfielder spot. Hopefully the deal is for 2 or 4 years since he's good every other year. Edit: just saw 12-15-15. Not bad!

Maybe Nacho can drink more milk and lift weights.

Oops

Biggest thing that means is that the Dodgers can outspend their mistakes. Which is exactly what they do. Others have less margin for error. Doesn't mean you can't win, but you can't throw around dollars prospects and know you can buy another one if the first one doesn't work out. I think that's...

RIP Beeg Boy

As long as Sale can take the mound, he's great. So two more healthy years and he's there, to me. I'd say as long as he can raise his left arm above his head, but he's sidearm.
