Harold's Leg Lift

So right around the time the NFL figured out Nagy's offense?

What's the record for missed tackles in a game?

Dumb teams are a reflection of the coaching staff.

I'm guessing Dodgers.

He got $10M. He was projected to get $7-$9M in arbitration so he gets released and makes more money. The system is so fucked up.

D. all of the above

There are some in the organization who are not in love with the way he does it. He could be another Daniel Hudson.

Did he mention anything about increasing the staffs spin rates? If you ain't cheatin you ain't tryin.

or "stay closed."

Max Meyer (3rd pick in the draft) started 15 games in college. Crochet started 13. Meyer was affected by the pandemic (unless Crochet truly was the only one) and the Marlins are not planning on him pitching out of the major league bullpen. They're developing him as a starter.

Clear as mud.

wut

He wasn't injured in college. He was sore and they were protecting him conference play and the draft. If they knew the season was going 4 weeks long he would have pitched from the get go.

It sucks even more that supposedly he's the only pitcher in baseball affected by the pandemic.

It kills me to say this but I agree. It's such a waste of a special talent.

Because pitching at max effort for 3-5 hitters a few times a week will not help him develop into a starting pitcher. He has to work as a starter to learn how to consistently command his fastball over extended innings and learn to command his changeup which he will barely ever throw as a reliever. He has a great arm but he's just a thrower right now. He still has to learn how to pitch and he will not be bale to do that working out of a major league bullpen. They're being greedy by sacrificing his long term value. I guess they're happy with him being a thrower when he could be so much more. It requires some patience which they have shown time and time again they do not have.

This would be so short sighted. I shouldn't be surprised considering how often they have miss handled their young pitchers but it doesn't make it any less madening.

It always cracks me up when a pitcher says he wants to work on increasing his spin rate. What he's really saying is he wants to find a better way to cheat. It would be refreshing to hear someone say "rather than using rosin and pine tar I'm going to experiment with firm grip and bullfrog sunblock. Maybe grow my hair out and load up on the hair spray."

I've been following it a little. If he plays well against Bama he may be mocked 1-1. If he plays poorly he'll go back to 1-10 wher he was before the Clemson game. It's all about the recency bias.

Every pitcher doctors the baseball. They may as well make it legal because it's almost impossible to enforce unless they're dumb enough to put it on their face like Michael Pineda.

The Mets met the asking price for Realmuto but then he and his agent went out and shopped it so they told him to pound sand and shifted to McCann.

Dunning and Madrigal didn't come close to getting Clevinger there is no way this package comes close to getting Plesac.

I think you're underestimating the wickedness of MLB owners.

My expectationfor the 4th pick is not perfromance based.
