He's hyped for the team no doubt but Okogie in particular. He's played with Okogie for parts of the last four seasons and knows him well.
This is a well discussed transition season for the show. Some of their pillars (Heidi and Ego) left and there's a definitely a talent vacuum to be...
Exactly, he's one of those sleeper reasons why teams under-perform. He's not an additive player.
Tenor & Voice Direct, economical. He tends to skip flowery language and gets to the point. Matter‑of‑fact tone, often surgical in breaking down...
I appreciate your level of fandom and micro-level strategy but IMO the outcomes heavily color the eval of Espada here. I think a manager can...
"terrible decisions" ???? Should we just crown AJ Hinch as the only good manager in the history of the game and accept that everyone else is...
I ask politely: what is your definition of a great managing job?
It's one of my annoyances with the sub-forum. There's always someone in such a hurry to call for a new manager's firing that inevitably the...
Sad. I really hoped he'd be the last to get to 300 wins
How is this not a win-win trade? Both teams are in first place, handily right now no less. The Cubs get to be relevant this year and the Astros...
It’s definitely a great thing to have contributors from the mid and lower rounds. Especially if you get some star level players like Pena and...
Funny. Pitching has also snake bitten the Orioles this year. They're better at hitter development.

I wouldn't say better or worse. Shoulder problems were a career death-sentence 50 years ago similar to dead elbow. A brief literature search shows...
Is he coming back from injury or is on a slow build up plan? His first 4 starts were under 3IP.
Holy small sample size; those early season numbers are kind of nuts. In 8.1ip, Santos is running a 36.7% K-BB%. 25% is considered elite. That's...
We would get a typically Stressly performance, no doubt. I can't imagine cubs' fans are enthralled with his 3.75 k/9 and 5.25 BB/9 rates right now.
As several people have mentioned, draft rankings can differ widely among teams. It can be a matter of need or a matter of subjective grading. If...
Yes, he does have a longer rope here. There's no positional realignment or prospect that's nipping at his heels. The Statcast data suggests he...
I dunno what to make of Rogers so far. He's running a nearly replacement wRC+ with a massively spiked K rate and no power despite an increased...
