  1. Not the lack of a full compliment of pitches. It's the lack of an out pitch against lefty batters, who are using him as batting practice to the tune of an .813 OPS.
  2. Not quite convinced. This is something quite typical in the development of some top-of-the rotation guys, who come in, get guys out with low K rates (Hello Jon Lester, Justin Verlander and Zack Greinke, all very high ceiling guys who optimized their arsenals at the ML level and then started posting above average to elite K rates), make some adjustments and then start striking guys out to complete their development at the ML level. Bello's issues with fastball spin rate and its adverse effect on his slider are fixable. I'd say a mid 3.5 ERA guy who provides innings is his floor, not his ceiling.
  3. Theo Bloom DD Ben Duquette (disliked him and still do)
  4. Because of durability, I actually think Houck is the more likely of the two to end up a starter if they can either improve his changeup, or work in an average split.
  5. They need to fix his fastball spin rate issue. And they won't address it until the offseason.
  6. DD credit for drafting them, Bloom credit for developing them. I do not dislike DD, au contraire. He did what he was brought in to do, same as Bloom.
  7. The CBO assembles the team, instills drafting/development philosophies and decides how important prospects are handled. That's why I put so much emphasis on the development aspect and not just the drafting.
  8. Your wife is a saint.
  9. Rafaela sure has made me shut my mouth and put some respect on his name. Wow.
  10. Carlos Rodon is now my favorite Yankee, both sucking and being an ******* to fans even though he's making a mountain of money. Love to see it.
  11. Here in the DR, we don't call them cabra or cabrito, we call them chivo. Stewed with rice or boiled plantains or yuca my guy. Delish.
  12. Yorke's bat would not play up at DH, since he's a HIT first guy. Also too young to not play him at a position. That problem will sort itself out when the time comes.
  13. Out of this enormous pile of injured players, merely because of statistical probability, some of them should produce. Can't bat .000 on all injury returns even if we wanted to.
  14. Lol Accord
  15. This team lol. Build for '24
  16. a) Stewed goat is f***ing delicious. I love all types of peanut butter equally.
  17. Goat itself is delicious. Don't @ me.
  18. What in the blue hell is wrong with you two?
  19. Ya win some, ya lose some.
  20. Red card. Ejected.
  21. The goalposts are in place for a reason.
  22. I have one gripe with your sarcasm, and his name is Jason Varitek. Even when being sarcastic, you put some respect on his name.
  23. Buyer beware on Miley. His statcast xERA is almost 5.00.
  24. Triston Casas OPS and OPS+ by month: April: .576, 61. May: .766, 110. June: .851, 134. July: 1.066, 184. And don't y'all forget it.
  25. Anyone can beat anyone in a short series. But it's not likely, which I think is his point.
