@LanceBroz Just be happy the draft creates buzz, is the way I take it. 0% chance this happens. Even if Chicago balked, two more teams aren't going to pass on calling his bluff. They will just be walking in with another top-4 pick next year he plays hard ball to an insane level

I don’t think I understand why this narrative continues to be pushed. The probability of three teams passing on Roch are what … <1%? Can you target something you never had the chance to get in the first place?🤔
SleeperSFGiants@SleeperSFGiants

The Giants are reportedly targeting UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky in the MLB Draft. Buster Posey met with him privately, and Brandon Crawford also spoke with Cholowsky, who grew up idolizing the Giants legend, per @BNightengale

It’s truly amazing how every Mets fan who sells insurance for a living, knows how to run a professional baseball team.

@Super70sSports And some nerdy GM would want to look at his wOBA and WAR and launch angle and barrel rate and exit velocity and … meanwhile he’d be Babe F ing Ruth.

I say Babe Ruth would fucking rake today too. Motherfucker got off a train to swing a 9-pound bat at filthy dead-ass baseballs with guys throwing spitballs at his fucking head without a helmet while he was drunk. Pretty sure he could hit Zac Gallen.

@ltw0303 @DownontheFarm8 @indytampafan Kinda click baitish, no? I do have concerns that some games he just didn't miss the bats like you'd expect, but he's done what he's needed to do to be first arm off board.

@TrueBallerBooks @gehrig38 Sure, and this was taken further when Pitch FX was put into use around 2008. All of a sudden the wide zones started to disappear just as you have a new wave of young, power sinkerballers coming up, and the pure 4-seam crew jumped back into lead position

@gehrig38 My theory is that pitching changed as a reaction to everything being about home runs. Late 90’s/2000’s. Dudes started scooping the ball to keep up with the next guy. That got u attention. Pitchers said ok, then I have to strike you out. MLB is a home run and strike out league.

I keep saying it. Pitching is so broken it's breathtaking. Just take a peek at the 1st pitch of the SD/LA game. Spin rate? Check! Velocity? Check! Command? Nowhere to be seen. I cannot explain how FAR from pitching this is. On the first pitch, hell the first inning, you are working your fastball around the zone to get a feel for the corners and your command. You might throw 2 of your 3-4 pitches but most nights April to September you don't show your arsenal in the first, you need to get hitters out a couple times. You hold on to the 3 and 4 pitches that you setup in the 1st AB and in the hitters ahead of a guy for later ABs. I am unsure I can explain just how far this one pitch, and the ENTIRE process behind it, is removed from pitching. Having said that I do NOT blame the pitchers. The game is to blame. When you're working on 300 million dollar deals hoping to get 150 innings from a guy, that tells ya all you need to know. It's certainly not an easy fix, nor a quick one, but from the draft to MLB there is ABSOLUTELY a process to 'fix' this crap. Not to mention fewer DL stints, fewer TJ surgeries and longer shelf life for SP.

@podoffame @baseball_ref Koufax beats him in almost every category in the five-year peaks season shown here, but Neuhauser's WAR is better. Why?

Sandy Koufax’s 5-year peak from 1962-1966 is widely remembered. Hal Newhouser’s 5-year peak from 1944-1948…not so much. Koufax still has the edge with the WS dominance, ERA titles, and triple crowns, but Hal was no slouch. Almost won a 3rd MVP in 1946.

Reid Detmers... 5.09 era... with a career best 3.24 xERA, career best 3.09 FIP, 1.5 fWAR. I'll be pretty annoyed when the Dodgers or Braves etc trade for him and he goes on to become a perennial 15 game winner

@jherb1323 @gehrig38 This would be true if owners weren't blowing tons of cash on SP. That shows that unlike RBs in the NFL, the game still knows it wants and needs these guys.... They are just afraid to make tough choices regarding the preservation of the position.

@gehrig38 Curt it’s all about money. Dudes going 110% always throwing as hard as they can= injuries=less term and money on contracts= owners don’t have to spend as much money. There’s always going to be another arm.

I genuinely don’t give a fuck what the ABS system says … that ain’t a strike. You shouldn’t be able to miss your spot THAT BADLY and still get the call for strike three. What are we even doing?

Noah Sharp@The_Noah_Sharp·
There has only ever been 5 people in the History of College Baseball to hit 40 or more Homeruns in a single season. 1. Pete Incaviglia - OSU - 48 (1985) 2. Jeff Ledbetter - Florida State - 42 (1982) 3. Lance Berkman - Rice - 41 (1997) T4. Brandon Larson - LSU - 40 (1997) T4. Ryan Bradford - Johnson County - 40 (2026) If @JCCCBaseball continues their season and go to the @JUCOWorldSeries it would be hard to say that the all time single season record wouldn’t be in play.

@James_Schiano IMO if you aren't aggressively using your early challenges to protect your SPs, you are doing it wrong. Not only do catchers know best, but getting a top-2 or 3 SP out of a jam can be like adding a top-notch MRP in the now, and reduce overall wear on the pen in the long-term

This was a bad look for the Mets last night blowing both of their challenges in low leverage spots with no one on base by the 4th inning Anecdotally it feels like this happens too much and doesn’t reflect very well on Carlos Mendoza or the teams general grasp of leverage
Awful Announcing@awfulannouncing

Gary Cohen believes managers will have to get a handle on the ABS challenge process because hitters continue to lose challenges in low-leverage situations. "It's just bad for the club."

@stephencurry93 @SotoC803 And this is why it sucked for Nimmo's legacy, but was great for Mets PR to send him to Texas. The cavernous OF will expose his aging profile on both sides. He's OPSing nearly 300 points higher (!!!) on the road than at home.

@SotoC803 Nimmo OPS for the last month is .660. Now had a sprained ankle after also missing some games with leg issues. Not even defending Semien but its clear why they correctly moved off of Nimmo, especially with Benge and Ewing on the horizon

I tried to warn ya'll Sure it saves us money in 2029 and 2030. But it SEVERELY hurt the team's offense in the immediate term. While it opened a spot for Benge...you very easily could have just done an OF/DH rotation that wouldve played all 3 of Nimmo/Soto/Benge every day.
Good Fundies Brian@GoodFundies

Like what are we going to do with this? Do we just DFA him and eat the money soon and put Ewing at 2B and Melendez back in the OF? Do we put Bichette or Baty at 2B when Lindor returns? Or Polanco? Maybe he turns it around. I doubt it. Semien & Nimmo below.

@ernestdove @GoodFundies We have reason to hope McLean can follow a similar storyline as Jake, but the other three were monsters that took a top-4 pick, dealing a HOFer, and dealing a Cy winner, to obtain. It's a win if we replicate the Matz, Lugo, Fulmer, Gsellman roles with out current kids

@SotoC803 I hated Buck taking flack for peoples pipedream that 4 rookies in the lineup was a good idea. Hated starting Benge in the Bigs. But this.... This move, I agree with.

@SamulskiNYC @MartinJGallegos Everyone but Bolte haha. He might not start 6 out of 6, but I doubt it's less than 5 out of 6. Perfect timing for him to force their hand. The projected OFs have been way worse than I think a lot of people would guess.

@JCBanfield Can't be that hard to say "if it's scheduled, you get an RPI impact either way." This needs to stop. Some things you can get away with as you try to break through the mainstream.... Others, are glaring red flags that will end up being picked apart ten fold
