    Mariners vs Padres (picked out of a hat today)

    Sorry for leaving Canada out of the discussion. Is Robert Pickton's farm still up and running? 🐖

    Aileen Wournos was probably the loudest person at every dive bar she walked into.

    Permanently injured guys don't get a lot of ARB money. Not sure what his FA market is. People getting very excited over one start though.

    No way were John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, Ed Kemper, HH Holmes, Pee Wee Gaskins, Henry Lee Lucas and Albert Fish quiet. They were probably the most annoying people in the world to be around. If they were internet posters, they'd quote people and provide endless non sequiturs and emojis. Yuck! David Berkowitz and Dennis Rader were probably quiet though.

    Anonymous 3 hours ago What are scouts saying about Kristian Campbell's efforts to rebuild his past hitting success? It seems like he still has a way to go. Thanks. Geoff Pontes 2 hours ago I think the results have been better than the feedback or the underlying data. It's odd, he's EVs are way down and he just doesn't seem nearly as explosive. He did homer for me on Sunday and has generally hit in every WooSox game I've sat on in the last month. Evaluators just don't seem to be watching the same guy.

    He just needs to average 5 innings per start. Doesn't seem hard for a guy like him.

    This is the most lopsided pitching matchup we've seen all year. Sox take the series. Brown was close to being outdueled by a AAA pitcher the last time. Buehler isn't a AAA pitcher.
  9. mvp 78
    He's got until the postseason ends for the verdict.
  10. mvp 78
    Ewww, they should keep it PG TBH.
  11. mvp 78
    Pedroia had a large contract? I thought it was a below market deal? 😇
  12. mvp 78
    The ground balls won't change anytime soon, FYI. When he hits it in the air, it's just going to go very, very far.

    All offseason I said Marcelo needed time in AAA to work on hitting vs LHP and offspeed stuff. Marcelo: AAA 638 OPS vs LHP, MLB 416 OPS vs LHP Offspeed per Statcast: 125 BA, 139 XBA, 292 SLG, 312 XSLG, 214 WOBA, 228 XWOBA He was in fact not ready in March for the bigs.

    Someone would have to Nancy Kerrigan Nick Kurtz for that to happen.

    Lowe's 89 ERA+ is the same as Dustin May's this year. However, he had a 4.26 FIP which when factoring in the era is so much better than how May has pitched this season. That FIP was in line with previous and subsequent years, so he probably was just unlucky in '04. Bonus points for throwing 180 innings.

    I'd rank them in order: ERod/Eovaldi Lowe/Arroyo Peavy/Doubront Schilling/Lester May/Buehler a distant 6th With how far runs have dropped off recently, I think Buehler is by far the worst pitcher listed and May probably second worst.
  18. mvp 78
    Disagree. Rafaela is a transcendent defender. Duran has been just fine this year.
  19. mvp 78
    Sure, but this is a team that wants to do damage in the playoffs and is trying to go for it, right? They were supposed to be buyers? It's not supposed to be like "most rotations" IMO.
  20. mvp 78
    Thank Breslow that an extension was signed. Hope he maxes out that deal and earns a ton of incentives.
  21. mvp 78
    His power outage is probably due to the right quad injury. He's still noticeably slower and any decrease in lower body strength would take away from his pull air potential. He may be intentionally adjusting his approach because of his quad.
  22. mvp 78
    I think they wanted Ryan AND May. I believe May was in the works ahead of the Ryan deal and was going to get done anyway. It wasn't a "panic move" IMO. I'm glad he had a great start last night. The dude has shown a lot of promise in the past. I'm just not confident that the Sox are able to rely on him down the stretch. I'm just seeing a guy similar to Buehler where there will be a great game or two followed by a blowout or two. Having two of those guys in the rotation isn't ideal to me.
  23. mvp 78
    Roman has never been a pull air guy. This goes back to his entire time in the organization. Unless they are going to completely change his approach, you have to accept his higher than average ground ball rate.
  24. mvp 78
    Hard to say this on a night Anthony gets 4 walks.
  25. mvp 78
    Mayer was in fact not ready on day one. Campbell wasn't ready either. Anthony certainly was and had a higher AAA OPS in '24 and twice the PA's than Campbell. The only reason Anthony wasn't called up was "too many OFers."
