another massacre incoming.

This fucking thread. We got more meteorologists here than anywhere online.

Hitting is a contagion but the opposite is also true. Everybody is pressing. Need to just get a few guys going and relieve the pressure. Right now this is a bad team. Not sure it's their true talent level, but right now it is.

we need a horrifying rating.

this you?

Fegan is a really bad tweeter. Great writer, can't tweet for shit.

We need major changes. Starts with telling Jose he's a part time player.

This is a bad team I'm going to go ahead and say it.

turned it off, fuck this shit, slop ass outfield defense hanging every breaking ball.

just awful pitching, can't even blame the pitch calls. hung a fucking slider.

come on, why would you throw another FB there? He's now in swing mode, bury a slider.

too high, can't command shit right now.

high fastball he's gone.

huge AB early.

what an annoying AB.

It's a plausible scenario. Borderline utility guy at best, poverty background, makes a risk reward calculation to get to the bigs then makes another one once he's established as a 25 man guy. As always, I really don't care about players using PED. Do what you gotta do and it's up to the league to prevent and catch it. I wouldn't be for some organized team led juicing thing but players are always going to cheat one way or another I don't attach any moral value to not juicing or juicing.

Someone already said it but man it's nice to have a guy 22 doing this and not 25-27 range. Of course that's the same thing I thought about our last young breakout 2B, Yolmer. Maybe we can get a three WAR season out of Sosa at some point. Yolmer was actually a decent starter for a minute. My personal suspicion is that he stopped the vitamins once he established himself in MLB and then the power absolutely dried up.

poor start.

Just can't catch a break.

Converted SS so you'd think it would be fine but then again I thought the same of Madrigal. Scouting report says similar bat to ball skills but Sosa has much more raw and in game power. MLB.com had him 40 grade overall preseason. Have to think that would be revised up to 50 or even 55 if he keeps up this batting line, which is solid regular territory.

Not a single team mate that I've seen has said anything positive about the guy. I saw something on another forum that said the best thing team mates can say about him is that he's "intense" which is code for "complete asshat but can hit the ball a bit so we tolerate it".

If it's not broke don't fix it. Wouldn't want to mess up anything with Kopech's routine right now.

I was shocked to see he had nearly 100 bWAR. I forgot what a great defensive 1B he was in his prime in addition to a regular 300/400/600 line. 33rd all time in bWAR.

I am not a "believe all blacks" or "believe all women" type but I am of the believe that my experience in the world is not theirs so I should usually believe them. Not every time, but usually. In this instance I will listen to Aaron and TA and other AAs and if they think it's racist that's good enough for me. Some of the "TA is the real RACIST" takes on Yankees blogs and forums are batshit insane however.
