Herrera’s hitting 97

I don’t know. Feels like when league was power starved we had more guys like Chris Carter. Now they need to be more well rounded, it’s just pitchers are really good. Like Yellichs k rate hasn’t changed that much.

I am skeptical that the juiced ball, which randomly appeared in, what 2016? Has anything to do with three outcome baseball, which has been trending this way for years. That’s much more likely to be a pitcher velocity issue. Or just have some expansion.

That’s Justin Jircheles dad isn’t it. I forgot he’s still a coach.

The only percentages allowed in this thread are k rate! We laugh at prospects injuries and ridicule them for their k rate. It’s a fun thread.

Well, that’s way more fastballs than I would have guessed but admittedly I was switching channels back and forth.

Lol, would have been a hilarious first hit

Great game from lopey. Starting to lean off FB only approach if first two games.

DP! Finish this inning and save us a bo arm

0-2 to 4-2

Let’s get some quick outs

Eloy don’t listen

Eloy go deep.

Craig Edwards is probably so relieved right now

Yeahhhhhhh keep talking that shit about Leury, he keeps doin it

Live your life.

Dang I missed that. That's awesome.

We can't stick him in AAA, he'd have to clear waivers.

People bellyached about market salary to average to below average players because it adds up and can prevent acquiring other players when they become available. If Wellington's salary is used as a basis for not acquiring an interesting catcher who is cheaper and offers longer control options, then that is justified. And this idea that Castillo is a flip candidate, give me a break. Here's your flip, trading castillo for a former top catching prospect who has been injured but might catch on. About as good as you'd get anyway.

His comment was about it being funny that people would hate McCann signing but like swihart. There's reasons for that, which I provided.

Castillo has had one positive framing year and one positive defensive runs saved year and with the sox he's been bad in both. Swihart has had two positive framing years. Castillo is not a good defensive catcher.

I literally placed it in the title of the thread. I don't understand why I should care about absorbing Castillo's salary. We only paid half of it last year anyway.

but he did the same thing in Winston salem.

Catcher? And when Collins is ready you can either have 2 LH hitters that can play C/1b/DH and one that can play outfield, or you DFA Swihart if he sucks and they are better. And what you will have been out is...Swihart's salary. He's a waiver claim.
