Look at Ray Ray Run

Says what? No one is projecting Bobby Witt Jr to be in the big leagues at 20. If he was that good hed be the consensus #1 pick. Moniak was as good of a high school prospect and in his 4th year of milb baseball he's at AA with a 672 ops.

No way is Bobby Witt Jr 2 years away. Not sure why you think he's 2 years from the show when he hasn't even had a professional AB.

College seasons are short. Plenty of guys can have a good 30 games. Vaughn has had an incredible career.

Hamilton is a hell of a defensive cfer. Not many I'd take over him with a large enough sample size. His arm blows though. Sprint speed is straight line speed too - which isnt as valuable when running the bases.

Interesting. Wonder what their home to 2nd and etc times are. Billy is so much better on the bases it's amazing Engel speed is similar.

Similar speed?

His swing mechanics are atrocious.

Brian anderson was a much better baseball talent than Adam Engel.

He will be starting soon. Stretching him already.

Jackie Robinson was getting called that word everyday of his life - threatened with it. Degraded by it. Yet there are people here citing the emancipation proclamation as the end of black oppression and hate... only those who lived during slavery can hand out the permission to use that word because life has been peachy and fair since the emancipation. I dont even know if that word mattered to slaves. The degradation of humans doesnt get much worse than forced labor without pay and legalized rape of their women. The use of it post slavery was a reminder that they may he free but they were not equal.

Daryl says there was no incident that caused it. I am going off that. There are guys that are so strong and they grip the bat so low and strong that they bruise their hand when swinging. All he has to add is a pad on his knob or shave the knob down a little. If it's a hbp I'd be even less worried.

Well hot damn, at least you knew this was a dumb take before you said it. Hey bud, less than one lifetime ago was the civil rights movement. People who go back to slavery while citing oppression are some of the most ignorant people alive. Black people still struggle to this day with true equality and extreme oppression was still taking place in this country when my father was born.

If it's a hand contusion on his left hand it's very possible this is caused by the knob of the bat. Hes hitting the ball so good and hard right now the knob could be smashing up against his hamate. This was a problem for Stanton a couple years ago too.

https://www.si.com/mlb/2019/04/20/tim-anderson-white-sox-improving-vs-sliders-video Looking at those gifs, the writer actually does a nice job describing the major change but the two things to look at are his hands (and his trigger) and his front foot. Because he keeps his front foot in the air, he keeps his hands back which gives his bat more time in the zone with the ball. But with his old load and trigger, anderson would be late on everything if he waited until the ball was coming to put his front foot down. If you look at the first two gifs, his load starts higher, drops lower and then he brings his hands back before forward. His hands are so good that when he got his foot down fast he could get them to the zone but he was off balance, and all the power was shifted to his hands and wrists only. With his load and trigger this year, he starts his hands higher and only drops them to his shoulder level and then instead of pulling them back, he simply finishes his bat wiggle to get his hands in position on rhythm and then hes straight to the ball. Shorter and quicker and he has the power of his lower body waiting back on off speed stuff and his hands are quick enough to turn on anything fast. Those may look like subtle changes but they can mean everything for timing.

Yes.

It's not the same word. My goodness. And it's used it to decrease the significance of it.

You said black people shouldn't be allowed to say it. You dont understand that you're not in a position to make that decision.

This just isnt true my man. Just because you dont understand the difference doesnt mean you should subject them to your train of thought.

By the way, this has been pointed out by those close to Tim but... don't forget where Tim Anderson is from. Tuscaloosa. I'd imagine Tim heard his fair share of the n-word playing as a kid. People have implied such but that's just another angle to this which exemplifies even more why it's ok for Tim imo.

And the gays... amirite? I've for a free front row seat for pride day at the ballpark if you're interested!

Is this a serious post?

Capra has no idea what hes doing.

Cordell is a heck of an athlete.

Everyone loves miggy.

The obsession with velocity is odd. Carlos is having a great year with the heavy slider game plan since he has three sliders and people are ripping cooper lol.
