  1. Wilson is a dead ringer for a younger Lance Lynn.
  2. I love spicy food but the habanero has a poor flavor profile. Jalapeno is almost always better. Also I'm just not a big fried chicken sandwich guy. The bread isn't needed with fried chicken...
  3. Quero made that look really easy. Not bad.
  4. adam sandler is decent at basketball? thanks Schriffen
  5. these are some really bad breaking balls.
  6. There are probably two players on the entire team I'd stop what I'm doing to watch. One is Shane Smith the other is quero. When Vaughn is up I'm more likely to grab a beer than anything related to watching him. That said, I do think the FO thinks he's a bit of a fan favorite. Undersized white guy, resonates!
  7. If he had a history of being an average regular it's one thing but he's literally been replacement level or worse for his career. I'd love to see how many guys, 3rd overall pick or not, approached 2.5K PA of below replacement production. Usually you don't get that long of a leash. Vaughn will have 2.5K PA and negative career fWAR if he's still on this team come July. Wow, look at this: disgusting company. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&month=&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&players=0&sortcol=21&sortdir=asc&startdate=&enddate=&pageitems=30&season1=2021&season=2025 Vaughn has basically 1000 more PA during that period than any other negative fWAR player. He's been given a runway the length of a light year.
  8. just an awful lineup. No reason to have Vaughn ahead of Vargas right now and why in god's name is Palacious leading off again?
  9. 1/4 with a GiDP, K, warning track fly and thrown out trying to score on a double. That's a good day for him.
  10. Carrying two 1B who are both right handed just doesn't make any sense regardless of the rest of the roster. Vaughn just needs to either accept a AAA stint, accept a fake IL, or just get DFA imo.
  11. While I agree we should call him up you're vastly overestimating the percentage of the fanbase represented on twitter and other online spaces. It's maybe 1/5 at most that is tuned into those areas.
  12. I really believe it comes down to Getz not being able to say he wasted 5.5 million or whatever on Vaughn. He should just throw Hahn under the bus and say it was a terrible pick and blah blah DFA him.
  13. He can't possibly be worse than Vaughn right now. He's a better athlete if absolutely nothing else and can save a few balls from going into RF over at first.
  14. Vaughn is officially the worst player in baseball according to Fangraphs. Impressive April. They should just audition his spot in the lineup the rest of the year, give guys a month see what they can do.
  15. Gross. But I'm not the target demo.
  16. Other people sucking on other teams isn't really a great defense for guys sucking on our team.
  17. From surefire HOF to out of MLB in 5 years. Oof. He was always so cocky on his interviews with Mariners radio. You can tell that it's completely shattered his entire being not being a MLB player. Some guys think too much.
  18. yea some things that are cannon in the stats community turn out to be way more complex than the original figures figured. DIPS theory is a perfect example. I bet xWOBA and catch probability go through similar refinements over the next decade.
  19. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/andrew-vaughn-683734?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb Says it all. Good but not elite EVs. Poor LA. Horrific athlete, bottom 15% in all of MLB in sprint speed, and that includes catchers and 34 year old DHs.
  20. wRC of 32 and -.9 fWAR after today. He's literally been the worst player in baseball and it's not like he has a track record of any success. Get him the f*** off this team. Watching him on the bases today was like watching a fat out of shape high school player. And he can't hit or field either so screw him.
  21. 1/10 with RISP and 10 LOB. Time for Vaughn to go and get Elko up here.
