    4/17 vs Guardians

    I know the season’s over but Houck is a really good pitcher when he’s on like this. Let’s see third time through the order now.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    Bieber getting TJ. What an epidemic.

    4.5 - Angels in the Outfield

    Yoshida, O’Neill and Casas are up. We will score more runs.

    4.5 - Angels in the Outfield

    Disaster.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    It’s unsustainable. It just sucks. At least he got paid.

    Eury Pérez

    Does he get service time? Man, if he doesn't that would hurt.

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    I was bullish on Houck and Whitlock. Glad that they've started the season very well, it reflects the work Bailey's done.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    The last 15 games has been crazy. He flipped a switch. He's better in every facet: driving, dishing, finishing, shooting. It's one of the most ridiculous things I've seen.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    A crazy idea would be to penalise teams if their pitchers get TJ. If the PA is concerned about this trend then negotiate a bonus for players who get TJ, maybe accelerate service time as well. If you get TJ you’re only under control for 5 years. It might incentivise teams to push back against...

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    Murphy getting his elbow checked out. That doesn’t sound good.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    This is obviously bad for baseball and it needs to be fixed soon. I don’t see any trials being done in the minors.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    The ball would have to be deadened to prevent Judge from hitting 70HRs. But yeah, I think that’s the next logical reform to get pitchers to stop throwing at max effort.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    The launch angle revolution was in response to the 2012-2015 years where base hits and doubles didn't produce enough runs as pitchers continued to increase their fastball velocity. The source of the problem is the ever increasing fastball velocities, I know Theo said they might move the mound...

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    I agree very much with this. Sports is a star-driven entertainment. People watch LeBron, Messi, Federer etc because they are stars. Stars in baseball used to be starting pitchers. Hitters don't get enough PAs to be stars IMO because the average fan wants to see the best pitchers in the highest...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Episode 8 was great. I just love Brady as a competitor. I also love how Belichick just doesn’t give a fuck. By the way, I’m not a Patriots fan.

    Offseason rumors

    I’m a believer in Houck starting. In 2021, he started 10 games in a row, pitched 44 innings, had an ERA of 3.86 but FIP of 2.92. The talent is clearly there. We can get good innings from him. Even if he can only average 5 innings/game, that could be 150 innings of FIP 3-3.50 ball, which would...

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    I don’t have an issue with Bello, Pivetta, Crawford and Houck. There’s upside with all 4. Bello was very good when he came up. Pivetta may be fixed. Crawford has as good of peripherals as Kirby and some other guys we were linked to. Houck was also good before the injury and good when he came up...

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    Oh for fuck’s sake. If he gets TJ he’s almost done for next year as well. Almost $38m gone.
