  1. one thing that stands out about danny is unlike some of our so called "sluggers" he does not fucking get cheated on his swings. Dude is up there to try and do damage from pitch 1 to whatever.
  2. he really is the poor man's liam. for better and worse.
  3. if there's one good thing about being historically bad it's that anybody we're going to beat is going to feel like absolute dog s%*# if it happens.
  4. Most of what you're seeing there is value relative to position. Vaughn gets dinged something like 20 runs just being a 1st baseman relative to a catcher. And catchers get a massive positional bonus on the other end. I'm not sure if FGs publishes their positional value calculations but it's certainly pretty close to the traditional defensive spectrum with 1B and DH heavily penalized and CF, SS and C heavily rewarded. This is dated but is a good explanation. I think the values are much more extreme now.
  5. The two elite defenders that were already on the team are hurt. Go figure.
  6. Bro literally my first day of offseason BP frosh year of DIII the coach was like "you're never gonna hit for any power with that load". You watch a lot of other teams and they have guys selling out with huge leg kicks and loads and here our guys are looking to slap a grounder into the hole opposite way.
  7. Vaughn taking an inside fastball the other way for a soft lineout is everything wrong with him. Pull the ball, elevate the ball, deposit that pitch into the bleachers. This is how it's done.
  8. You can cancel the post game show. Sadly, not the rest of the season.
  9. I'm going to throw something at the TV if I see much more of Lopez's 85mph popups.
  10. He's touching 95 but he's getting lit up because he doesn't have a put away pitch and throws it down broadway too often. There was nothing in his minor league numbers that suggested he'd have much success.
