@DaWindyCityFS This is one of the most lazy, pathetic articles I have read in my entire life. No mention of stats, no analysis, just literally word salad. Absolutely garbage

David Peterson was supposed to stabilize the Cubs rotation. Instead, his early struggles have only added to the uncertainty. Read more here ⬇️ dawindycity.com/the-cubs-canno… #MLB #Chicago #Cubs

@butchbaccala @jeans_david @ftrstarsseries @fss_scouting The crosschecker ai slop series. No wonder no org wants you. You can’t think for yourself

Much better roster look for AC games. @jeans_david @ftrstarsseries @fss_scouting

@WadeTownsendMan The thing that makes you bitch and moan on the internet all day is the same thing that made your career go nowhere

The thing in skubal that makes him react like this is the same thing that didn’t fight to stay in Game 5 on 99 pitches

@tpsojda @TJStats @DanBFox1287 @MLBPipeline Not arguing I agree pipeline is bad but what is an example of a player like that

@TJStats @DanBFox1287 People still using @MLBPipeline for prospect rankings are so out of touch. There’s top 100-125 not even in teams top 30.

I’m actually going to be so mad if the Angels have an absurd asking price for Neto because how does a 26-year-old reliever with these metrics not even net a top 30 prospect? And that’s without even mentioning Ohoppe

@Ry_Good @3cosHank @PitchingNinja Hawkeye cams are the same in every stadium retard

@3cosHank @PitchingNinja And juiced radar guns

Miz had 66 fastballs over 100 mph today... New MLB single game record.

@FeelMyCrypto @PitchingNinja Haha retard can you back this up with any objective data? You’re a fuckin moron lol

@PitchingNinja You would think thats a good pitch, but it’s not, good changeups need to be between 10-20mph slower in order to deceive batter’s brains causing them to swing too early. Youre not really doing anything throwing a changeup at 98mph might aswell just throw a 2-seam fastball…

Mason Miller, 98mph Changeup. 👀

Only thing softer is limiting your comment sections to a few accounts lol

@butchbaccala Sick graphic Butchie! My favorite parts are the AI garble California visual and also how it says your quote not once but twice! Chat GPT did a phenomenal job! Also, way to not forget to knock on those analytics nerds that keep taking your job! Sending love from Tel Aviv!

Justifying a Scouting Area and Region comes from Player Production. What my friends in the Scouting business don’t understand, they keep turning in less players because they think analytics will knock them down. Players come in different packages. Make scouts have value.

@butchbaccala @BarryBonds What is the point of this tweet? Just straight blabber blaming the nerds for everything

Meeting what the greatest player of all time @BarryBonds says was the best Home Run Derby. Jordan Walker pressure filled finish in winning the derby. Launch angle, exit velo and ball distance. Baseball has become an analytical show. Sloppier team ball. But people dig the #’s.

@butchbaccala @InsightsCollege Can you prove this with objective, concrete evidence? Scouts like you that are all feelings and no facts are getting aged out very quickly, and I love watching people like you get jobs taken where it actually matters!

@InsightsCollege Ok then if they have the data to study players and then produce solutions why is the average ML hitter hitting .244. Is this because the modern emphasis on launch angle, walks, and maximizing OPS over raw contact. Baseball in MLB are lacking instincts and Game Awareness. ME>TEAM

50 High School players drafted out of 229 Players. That’s so bad for MLB. No more gut feels, no more guys seeing ability and taking a chance. Basically has become a bunch of guys that are smart and know how to read numbers and probably never put their nut sack in a jock. SAD

@butchbaccala @_JeremyBooth @fss_scouting @ftrstarsseries Real professional smoking a cigar at a youth baseball combine. Did chat GPT forget to remove it?

Looking forward to being back at the Area Code Games putting eyes on guys for @_JeremyBooth and @fss_scouting @ftrstarsseries

Hey! That’s my president you’re mocking! Disappointed in Belgium. Hopefully Trump uses his power to veto the result of this match.

@notgaetti Let it be known that Perez is coming off TJ, and making his 3rd start since a severe leg strain. You’re right his “perfect game” matters more than his health

Let it be known that on June 28, I predicted Peter Bendix telling his manager to pull someone with a perfect game in progress. A week later, that's exactly what happened. #NotStradamus

@hittingguru7 Me Greg me ride horses me think I’m better than everyone else

How did one post of mine get over 50 bot responses that do not make sense. If some of those responses are actual humans no wonder why this world is declining from stupidity.

@notgaetti @BigLeagueDigest @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @CodifyBaseball @shegone03 @VandyonTigers @OfficialMLBRFC @WillClark22 @threeinningfan Missed a year plus change because of TJ then was on the IL for over a month and this is his 3rd start back. All that chatgpt anti analytics garble is meaningless once you grasp the full context of the scenario. You just love the attention and hating on the geeks

Drop whatever you're doing, folks You wanna know why I'm tough on Peter Bendix? You wanna know why John VanderWal and other former MLB players are apoplectic over the increasingly vice-like grip of analytics on in-game baseball decisions? It's because the Bendix playbook includes the possibility of pulling a pitcher with a perfect game in progress through 7 innings and sitting at just 92 pitches, depriving him of the exceedingly rare opportunity to pursue baseball immortality on a night where everything was working and couldn't be touched. A generation ago, this would have been inconceivable. You don't have to reach too far back to grasp an era in which it would have been a foregone conclusion that Eury Perez would go back out there for the 8th, and if he remained perfect, then again for the 9th. Short of a grievous injury or losing the perfect game, nothing would stop him from taking the mound and chasing those last six outs, and nothing would stop his manager from letting him. It might have taken him 120 or 125 pitches, or about *half* as many as Nolan Ryan was known to throw during some of his wilder outings. Perez is a 23-year-old professional athlete standing 6'8" with a body and mechanics that have been finely tuned for the very specific task of throwing a baseball; he'd live to fight another day, and to make his next scheduled start. (Kids are resilient, and even more so when they have the benefit of the best training, nutrition, therapies, and recovery that professional sports can offer.) Perez deserved the opportunity to chase greatness tonight and to finish what he started, but when the strings are being pulled by folks that never threw a baseball and don't know what it feels like to be in that flow state, to feel invincible and unhittable, to know you can't be touched... this is what happens. Perez left the game with an 8-0 lead after throwing his 7 perfect innings, and Miami barely hung on to win the ballgame by just ONE run after their bullpen gave up 5 runs in the 8th and 3 more in the 9th. Because the Marlins ultimately won the game 9-8, half of you still think Peter Bendix is a genius. (It's that half of the population that John VanderWal is mad at.)

@notgaetti @TwinsAlmanac @BigLeagueDigest @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @CodifyBaseball @shegone03 @VandyonTigers @OfficialMLBRFC @WillClark22 @threeinningfan Me Gaetti me hate good point and only rebuttal is trying to be funny

@TwinsAlmanac @BigLeagueDigest @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @CodifyBaseball @shegone03 @VandyonTigers @OfficialMLBRFC @WillClark22 @threeinningfan Bionic elbow fresh, strong

@ProducerJMAN @VandyonTigers Hey chubbs where did you play? I’ll take trouts word on this over a “sound engineer” 🤣🤣😭you do realize nerds have run the league because nerdball WINS. Look at the correlation between runs and advanced stats, and runs and standard stats. Moron.

@VandyonTigers It's the only way the nerds can justify their understanding of the game is through math and video game theory. None of these goofballs ever got more than their mandatory 1 AB and 3 outs in RF in little league.

Another internet baseball expert made a Mike Trout “88–91 mph” meme like he just uncovered the Dead Sea Scrolls. News flash: one off-the-cuff quote doesn’t rewrite baseball history. In 2011, I was scouting for the Padres, and one of my primary clubs was the Detroit Tigers. I wasn’t watching YouTube. I wasn’t scrolling X. I was behind home plate doing my job. Verlander could light up the radar guns at 100 whenever he wanted. Scherzer had premium-plus-plus velocity—mid to upper 90s. Porcello was 92–94 with command. Fister showed up throwing 91–93 with a filthy two-seam fastball. That was one rotation. But somehow I’m supposed to believe everyone was 88–91 because somebody made a meme? Here’s the difference: you have memes. I have years of scouting reports and hundreds of games in the ballpark. Stop trying to teach baseball history to the people who were actually there. Memes don’t beat experience. They just expose the dumbasses who think they do.

@hittingguru7 @KennedyMathis22 Yeah he’s running this country into the GROUND🤣🤣all he does is insider trading to make money for himself and his corrupt family. Do some research and see how he’s made BILLIONS since the start of his term, and tell me how that’s normal

@KennedyMathis22 Typical entitled ignorant lil guys chirping with the comment “get over yourself”. No just u young entitled arrogant ass hats just think u know it all with ZERO experience. Go on with ur day enjoy a wonder 250th Anniversary celebration today and President Trump at the helm.

I feel like if I hand picked a line up of MLB rookies & college players that play the game right…meaning fundamentals 101, move runners,bunting, RS hitting, sacfly, occasional 2Bs & playing the game simple the way it was made to be played I could beat any MLB team right now!

@VandyonTigers AI slop because you REFUSE to conduct your own research/calculations and make up any actual objective evidence rooted in fact. All you have is little anecdotes from hundreds of feet away from the action on the field after your failed career.

Hey meme guy …. Time to go hide under a rock

@ChrisMSarracino @hittingguru7 Can you prove this with any data or objective evidence? Or just anecdotal “a few games a year” that you watch? Moron

@hittingguru7 I can't disagree with you there. Fundamentals, the basic stuff, seem to be largely missing from Major League Baseball right now.
