Is Singer actually good?

Why the fuck is Garcia batting 2nd?

https://theathletic.com/2581873/2021/05/15/checking-in-on-lucas-giolitos-slow-start-while-michael-kopech-finds-his-slider/ Link in thread: https://www.pitcherlist.com/lucas-giolito-isnt-quite-right/ His release point seems to be more over the top this year than usual.

Yep.

Ervin Santana was a rookie in 05 IIRC.

Mike Trout is one of the best ever, but yeah he doesn't steal bases anymore. Still as good of a hitter as he's ever been though.

They back it up with empirical data. You're only using an old baseball cliché.

Lol.

Not anymore. Things have changed. Prime in baseball is now 24-28. There was an article on Fangraphs about it but I'm having trouble locating it. As baseball continues to evolve, Longevity will be harder and harder to attain.

He'll be 26 in 2 weeks.

Everything that I envisioned Moncada being except the power and SB is coming to fruition this year. I think the power will come with time, the SB are never coming.

What's Tony running for, Ray Ray? Mayor? Alderman?

I can't help but think that Moncada's really been affected by the deadened ball. Some of these ropes he's hit would have been HRs in past years. Now they're outs or doubles.

Haha thought the same thing. He really pimped that.

Idk about you, but I don't think 1/5 of every fly ball that Giolito gives up the rest of the season will go for a HR.

A couple of wind aided HRs. Meh. Someone look up his HR/FB numbers compared to 2019-20

Both HRs had an xBA under .175.

Gio is still missing bats this is just shit batted ball luck.

Two wind aided HRs. Meh.

Do all of the umps think KC needs help to be an MLB team? This strike zone/check swing strikes are ludicrous.

Ump is giving Keller a different zone. Wtf.

Ok my bad then.

No, Gio is still better than Keuchel.

Next time take some warmup pitches during the injury delay instead of throwing a meatball, Lucas.

Ah fuck.
