October 7, 20223 yr Seattle must be feeling pretty damn good about the Castillo trade right now. What a performance from him so far today.

I saw her about a month ago really speaking slowly, and thought she had a stroke I didn’t hear about. Hopefully she will stay happy for as long as possible. Such an unfair thing.
October 8, 20223 yr I wonder how long it'll be until someone at BP/Fangraphs etc is able to prove they're using juiced balls for the playoffs. The ball definitely seems to be carrying a further than we saw in the regular season.
October 8, 20223 yr Just now, chw42 said: Scherzer doesn't look fully healthy Scherzer, deGrom, & Bassit all having different health issues heading into the playoffs certainly isn't ideal for the Mets

October 8, 20223 yr Mets look like the Sox did in the playoffs last year. Pitching staff limping to the finish and offense not hitting for power. And the Padres aren't even close to the team the Astros were last year.
October 8, 20223 yr Kim & Profar were such obvious role player targets for the Sox 2 off-seasons ago. But of course, it's better to build your team out of 1st baseman rather than shortstops.

October 8, 20223 yr 23 minutes ago, maxjusttyped said: Looks like Tommy Pham shares our suspicion about the ball Only 2 homers were hit to straight away center with a launch angle of 30 degrees and an exit velo between 99 and 100. That's actually crazy. Edit: There were no homers hit with those parameters in 2021. 4 in 2020 and 6 in 2019. Edit 2: if you lower the minimum exit velo to 95 there were 5 homers to CF this year with a launch angle of 30 and an exit velo of less than 100. There were 11 in 2019.

October 8, 20223 yr Author Arenado hit the s%*# out of one today that didn’t go out, but the wind helped. It’s terrible if MLB wants juiced balls in the postseason. Just make it fair and let us watch some real baseball. It’s not that fucking complicated, Manfred.
