If Bauer wasn't a multi millionaire he might spend some time in prison for this. Instead he's gonna go kick it with Bill Cosby lol

jfc get Kopech up or something

Vaughn seems to have made some sort of adjustment to RHP, Fangraphs or The Athletic should write an article about it

that HR ball became unstitched, monster

the MLB.com article from February dispels some of the things you mentioned, at least they were convincing enough to me https://www.mlb.com/news/why-there-are-no-left-handed-catchers-in-mlb

yup

give him a month, he will be just as pull happy as the rest of the guys

my handful of picks Javy Vazquez, Jon Garland, Gavin Floyd, Jerry Owens, Gordon Beckham Vazquez is my #1

I'm convinced most of the guys on this team are playing with some sort of injury

Moncada can square up a ball about as perfectly as possible and still barely make it to the CF, what the fuck happened to his power

he's so bad

can't fucking wait til we replace this sackless wonder, lol

Dylan Cease ????

another delay?

also when he kicked dirt all over home plate to show up the HP ump

fuck yes

Read the rest of the article. ?

yeah let's gloss over the inherited runners that scored off him (23 inherited runners, 10 have scored) fucking brutal, but hey 3 earned runs!!

hopefully this means Marshall is done, for a while

The last one in the majors was in 1989. There doesn't seem to be a real consensus on why exactly all catchers throw right handed, but I have a theory. It's because of a few things: Most people are right handed. This is the largest pool of players (obviously) If you're left handed, and can hit, you'll always find somewhere to play. If you can't hit, next in line would be to become a pitcher because of the inherent value in LHP. Even if you aren't great, these guys still manage to get drafted. Lefty pitchers are a massive premium in baseball. If you're right handed, and can hit, generally you'll find a position to play. If you can't hit, and you can't pitch, you're gonna be blocked by a lot of guys (due to being in a much larger pool of righties) unless you learn how to catch. So basically it boils down to there being more righties than lefties, and catcher being the least desirable position to play What do you think?

So Greyjoy is out of the question? ?

remember when Vaughn was the most patient hitter in the lineup outside of maybe Yaz, I miss those days edit: I'll take it

selfishness, nothing more totally useless as an injured player with a jacked up knee and whatever else a first rate organization would put his ass on the IL for a couple weeks

offensively Moncadas biggest issue is he's painfully patient, and doesn't have much of a defensive approach on two strikes

masssssssssssive over pay, and I've been pro-trade Cease.
