    SKubal is vulverable the third time through the order just like any pitcher in todays era. His 6.5 WAR is not Maddux-esque or even close. Its just one of hte ways the game has changed. Pitchers are asked to do less. All of them, including SKubal and Crochet. Skubal is 66% of Maddux. Thats very good. But the era of the 8-10 WAR pitcher is dead. Build through your offense.

    Plus Skubal is not as good as people make him out to be. Hes the best pitcher in AL, but only a tick above Crochet. He aint like prime Pedro.
  3. drewski6
    He had 2 years left which matters a lot vs Skubals one year left. You trade for Skubal and you need to fork over 400m and we'll have no money for offense.

    Swing the bat, boomer.

    Not swinging at fastballs will get you BENCHED. Doesnt even have to be srtike 3. I still would bench dudes more than they are benched for it, but its not like its accepted anymore. We are not in the era of draw walks and work counts and foul and drive up pitch count. We are in the era of punish mistakes even if they are on pitch 1 of an at bat If I was a manager I would bench dudes in middle of at-bat for taking a fastball hahaha. Unless they are a 7,8,9 hitter or we are against an ace. You can work a count if its vs an ace.

    Its not. It was for a while, but its changed back. I agree though. If you are taking strike 3 that also means you are taking too many meatballs early in the at-bat. Working counts is yesterdays news. You have to use your time in the on-deck circle to time the fastball. On a 0-0 count, you pull that trigger if its a fastball.

    It bothers me that Breslow is Coras boss. Id be much more cool with it if it was the inverse. But I guess just because Breslow is technically Coras boss , that doesnt mean he can just fire him.

    I cant pitch for sh*t real life. Im an elite pitcher in the show. Real life? I throw my arm out on the third pitch. Real life with the bat? Im a DH righty who can crush righties if they throw around my knees. Cant hit lefties at all or anything up in the zone at all. In the show, Im dirty with a bat in my hand too but not as elite as I am a pitcher. And I hit righties better in teh show too even with a righty batter. Crazy how realistic the game is. My real life tendancies show up. (Cant hit lefties) Boggles my mind that most righties hit lefties better. I understand lefties cant throw that slider running away from me like righties can. And righties get me with that a lot. But even take that away, and I still cant hit lefties.

    Hes cool. We have bigger needs, but hes cool.

    Its rare to get arm-side run with a 4 seam grip, but hes a super rare pitcher. Think they call that "the running fastball" (arm side run with a 4 seam grip). Its got less verticle drop than a 2 seamer usually. Kind of funny, how if it runs arm side with no drop, its a running fastball, wiht some drop its a 2 seamer, but not too much drop becasue then its a sinker. King of like 1-to-7 oclock is a curveball, but 12-6 is a 12-6 curve, but 3-to-8 is a sweeping curveball So many different names and more are added every year.

    Its also his set-up pitch. His bread and butter is the screwball, which he throws like 55%. Fastball is solid too. Does have arm side run. Wonder how he grips it.
  14. drewski6
    I screwball when wii bowling (left to right spin from a righty)
  15. drewski6
    Williams is a screwball guy. The only one.

    Are the rules still the same ... Revocable waivers vs irrevocable waivers? Send someone down without options, revocable waivers. Remove someone from 40 man = irrevocable waivers. Thats how it use to be but I know things got shifted when they changed the post deadline waived payer trading.

    I think he does have that clause, which is what MVP said.

    They paid Rusney like 60m over 4 years to rot in minors hahha, 36m is nothing to eat.
  19. drewski6
    Rusney Castillo was worse than that.

    ANd the year before that, he won the cy young and everyone was like omg. Then he couldnt pitch in the postseason. He would have, people think, had they made it out of the first round. But back to the wall and their ace was not available. People dont seem to realize this for some reason. Prob cuz "we got hosed" is a better narrative. Im not against trading for Sale, but I dont think hes anything different than what he was. Wirey dudes usually break down. Not all, but most.
  21. drewski6
    Im not against trading for Sale, I just wouldnt count on him surviving the season.
  22. drewski6
    Both last year and the year before concluded with Sale hurt. Hes still getting hurt in Atl.
  23. drewski6
    Im researching think you are right. They can waive him, but if he clears, they cant just park him in minors.
  24. drewski6
    yup, theyll be in on everybody, and we'll wind up with Justin Turner and Rich Hill.

    Make Cora President and coach, and yes, we go right by the lux tax threshold and we'd be better for it.
