Look at Ray Ray Run

Cohen is a crook and a POS, but he's not going to suddenly cut down on spending at any point. This is who Steve Cohen - lavish to the point of absurdity.

Doesn't guarantee it, but greatly increases the likelihood of succeeding.

Not sure what this means. He's been completely dominant for a month of baseball. The Sox gave Kimbrel 16 million for a max of about 60-70 innings. Rodon is half way there already - 29 innings. If he gets to 60-70 innings, from a financial and impact standpoint, he very likely would have exceeded the QO value. One could argue that dominating for 1 months impact on the standings, rotation and bullpen would be worth it now as well.

His average fastball this year is lower than last year. Big difference is he's keeping the fastball up this year - which led to its success year one with the + spin rate which has returned. Also, he's throwing more sliders and fewer change ups.

That slider has made Foster's fastball good again.

The two posts after yours don't get the genius and brilliance of Matt.

Is Benetti at the game? The ball was hit 270 feet.

The fanclub has to be short and catchy; no one wants to join the Jose Ruiz Matt Foster fan club; doesn't roll off your tongue the same way.

Oh boy... Cali, I didn't call anyone the wrong name.

Cali... sadly if you don't know, you're not welcome in the club.

Please don't disrespect the Matt Ruiz, Jose Foster, fanclub. This negativity has led to the unlucky appearance.

Burger hosing him; where's Yoan. Still faith Ruiz will overcome and get out with only 1 across - just a small hiccup in the grand scheme of his season of dominance.

The fans were chanting for Ruiz mania and you gotta give fans what they want.

Matt Ruiz fanclub President checking in.

if the ball lands in foul territory when they dropped the ball, the batter is not out.

If you can't go inside without hitting someone, then you can't throw inside.

This has nothing to do with intention; this is about telling a guy to learn to control the baseball. You're a professional. Do your job. Tim told him he knew it wasn't on purpose, but the guy needs to control the damn baseball.

Not everyone can be Jerred 458 OPS Kelenic.

What is Burger doing

We're 80+ at bats into the season and Tim Anderson's K Rate is 12.6%. It normalizes and becomes predictive at about 50 PA's, so this is pretty sustainable and pretty incredible for a guy who is hitting the ball with a lot of authority too. Tim could be on pace for a 30 homer, 40 double pace with 20 steals. Pretty great year. 6-7 fWAR. If the defense returns to normal and he gets out of that funk, maybe 8 WAR. let's go!

Jack everytime he sees a Kopech pitch under 95 MPH.

This is how I feel about it pretty much.

It's the players fault that the manager doesn't put him in the lineup now? My goodness.

Please. The minor groin strain isn't going to heal for 12 months? Stop it. Load management doesn't work in baseball. Baseball isn't physically demanding enough to demand rest - actually to the contrary, it needs time to build endurance and consistent play.

Robert was finally finding his swing and getting in a grove, and now he sits on the bench. It's just bad managing. I said it to you before PTATC, baseball is not some physcally strenuous activity that requires constantly rest to maintain health. In fact, I'd argue it's the opposite; additionally, haven't you argued of late it's the "mental" side you need a break from? I'd also argue that's absurd as you need to learn to push through mental blocks to be a great baseball player. You and I have very different philosophical opinions on the game. Additionally, trainers and etc I have had in my life to train me for higher levels of baseball also disagree with the premise of constant rest.
