    Masa has 15 RBI in 17 Games. His 729 OPS is underwhelming right now, but the last 5 games have been a bit of a turning point for how he has been approaching his at bats. 10.5% BB, 11.8% K leads me to believe that he's not overwhelmed at the plate, just making bad decisions.

    Bulk innings in the pen. More frequent appearances with multiple innings.

    You've definitely been more of a Grumpy Gus than usual.

    I'm not sure what Paxton can provide. He still has velo. Maybe he can provide lightning in a bottle. More likely he just goes back on the IL after a few starts. Klubers velo is down. His command is down. If he falls behind in the count and has to get over an 88mph 4 seamer, the next pitch is likely headed for the seats. He was able to be a decent pitcher last year, but it looks like time has finally caught up with him.

    Huh? Blocks Above Average: McGuire 2 Wong -1 Framing Runs: McGuire 0 Wong 0

    Hamilton is repeating High A this season where he hit below 200 last year. I don't know how much meat is on that bone.

    Intangibles? No! Inchangibles? YES!

    Rosier and Sikes are two guys I had never thought about before, but they have played well early on.

    Goodrum has a 35% walk rate right now. However, every time he gets called up to the bigs, his k rate increases exponentially. He had a 44% k rate in Spring Training (24 k's) this year too. Last year in 45 PA's, his k rate was 51.1% with HOU!

    If they are switching, it's not because they looked at CERA.
  13. mvp 78
    He's probably better than Arroyo at this point.

    Here's who Caleb Hamilton has caught: Mata - 3 times Paxton - 2 times Dermody Walter Alfaro has caught every other start, including Whitlock and Bello's good starts.
  16. mvp 78
    Just look at the graph. His second start was worse than anything last season. A "brief spike" of 9 starts that had velo that exceeded anything that we've seen this year. Ok.
  17. mvp 78
    Caleb Hamilton caught each of Mata's 3 starts when you check the box scores.

    They only have one season to figure it out. Without an option available for next year, there is more urgency to decide what his long term role is. Unless they are just going to leave him as the 8th man in the pen and not care what happens in 2024?
  19. mvp 78
    Kluber was able to figure it out last season. He just lost too much velo this offseason. It comes quick for older pitchers. That's the risk Chaim is taking. 50% of the time I keep wanting to type in "Ben" instead of Chaim...
  20. mvp 78
    I'd swap Winck for Walter. Winck has been very effective out of the pen. I think he takes a step back if he reverts to the starting role. Kutter has been interesting at times. I don't know how sustained his success can be. Basically a replacement for Pivetta.

    @tylermilliken_ Alex Cora on Jarren Duran after yesterday’s game: “You can see the intent with the swing… you see it from batting practice, too — it’s not the show he was putting the last few years hitting the ball in the air pull side, now he’s driving the ball to left field, left center.” 7 of the 11 balls he’s put in play so far have an exit velo over 100. Ok... When am I allowed to get excited for Jarren Freakin' Duran? He's not ready for the real word yet. He revamped his swing in 2020. Had a breakout in AAA in 2021, but was exposed at the MLB level after showing a little spark. In 2022, he basically flatlined and really didn't provide anything. That was the true bottom of the barrel for his trajectory of him in the org. Can 2023 finally be his year?
  22. mvp 78
    It would make no sense to have him figure out a career change at the MLB level next season. Mata isn't a guy you can sneak through waivers. I think the writing is on the wall.
  23. mvp 78
    Mata 2023: 12 Innings 12 BB 14 K 10 H It's not just one bad start either.
  24. mvp 78
    They should. He has no more options after this year.
