  1. Yeah, I've done some basic googling and I can't seem to find anything. Also doesn't help that he has such a generic name. I just hit up Jesse Sanchez on twitter to see if he has any info.
  2. Do we know anything about J-Rod outside of his statline?
  3. I'm not basing my interpretation of Kopech being frustrated with AAA on anything but his Instagram Live videos that I skim through, and someone almost always asks him when he's going to get to Chicago and on more than 1 occasion I've seen his body language become annoyed and if I recall correctly he even shrugged one time recently and said "who knows" while exhaling, before catching himself and then going on about when it's his time, it's his time. It's that in which I get the sense that he is frustrated or annoyed, because I've more or less seen it. Can't say the same about Eloy.
  4. Yeah, we certainly wouldn't want him screwing up our playoff push this year. Better off letting him continue to be frustrated at being stuck in AAA and let him stew on that for another few months during these precious games.
  5. Not only would it be foolish for the Sox to flip Covey this soon, it would be equally foolish for a GM to buy in to this sample size. A trade for Covey now wouldn't get back anything CLOSE to the value it could get back if he continued his progression and is actually good now. And any GM willing to pay for that value on the assumption that he IS good now would be taking a big risk.
  6. I took my girlfriend through the entire journey recently as well, and just for curiosity we watched them in Chronological order, not release order. But I didn't want to make her watch Episodes 1, 2 and 3 and ruin her taste of the series. So we found some 10-minute recap videos of each to explain the backstories. It has left her a little fuzzy about certain things, but it saved about 8 hours of keeping her interest.
  7. This is what I was asking earlier as well. I couldn't figure out who she was supposed to be in the later movies, but I guess she isn't anyone prominent later on. Or maybe we get another anthology movie in between and they show what becomes of her.
  8. Anyone else watching The Staircase? I've been wanting to watch it for years, but the fact that 3 new episodes have been added 14 years later intrigues the fuck out of me. I'm in episode 4 right now, and holy shit what an interesting case.
  9. We don't know what he's been working on. He was told to improve his change-up before he got the call up. So it's possible he's been throwing far more change-ups than he normally would, which results in hitters guessing correctly on, or it being the hardest pitch for him to locate, I'm not really sure. Not saying that IS the reason, but I think his starts in the majors could be a better reflection of his command than his starts in AAA right now.
  10. Is it possible to make the Underslot amount in GREEN color and any overslot amount in RED color? Just to make it easier to see how many of these guys are signing underslot and who were tough signs.
  11. I liked Solo way better than Episode 8, which was one of the worst in the entire franchise for me, but not nearly as much as I liked Rogue One or especially Episode 7, which I liked a ton.
  12. No, there were several pitches in the Boston series to Moncada in particular that were horrible. Porcello K's Moncada in the 6th Price K's 6 (Moncada, although it was very borderline, so not awful) And just for fun, Porcello's 5-K performance (Yolmer strikeout)
  13. Eh, not really. I guess you could see how they handle big pressure games, but I like to just get a preview of what our players will look like while we actually have good broadcasts and cameras, things you don't really get in the minors.
  14. Holy shit has Gary Sanchez been trash recently too. In the last 30 days, Sanchez is batting .181 with 3 HR. In the last 15 he's at .068 with 0 HR. Averaging 0.4 points per game. Schoop, too.
  15. I started 0-2, but then won 5 straight to move to 5-2, but now sit at 6-4. I by far have the most points scored in my league, but per usual, I end up playing the top team so often. I have no doubts I'll make the playoffs, but my pitching staff is starting to fall apart a bit. I had to drop Manaea, Odorizzi, Gray, and even though I probably won't drop him, Kuechel has been dogshit for a while now.
  16. Remember when Matt Rose was looking like a dude for the first 3 weeks or so of the year? Well he's batting under .200 now.
  17. I think our guy Davis Martin should be pitching tomorrow's final Super Regional game for Texas Tech tomorrow at 3pm vs. Duke. So far Madrigal and Pilkington have advanced to Omaha.
  18. Fulmer gives up far, far more walks than Covey. They were both terrible for different reasons.
  19. After tonight's start, I wonder if that ticks to over 95 MPH average for 2018. 2+ MPH would be quite an improvement. I'm hoping Fangraphs, probably Jeff Sullivan, notices soon and we can get a deep dive in to the data.
  20. I wasn't being genuine, I was saying if you want to start moving Moncada around because of Madrigal being drafted, may as well move Timmy Anderson too while you're at it.
  21. I just watched the replay, and yeah, he beat that out. Wow.
  22. Micah Coffey had a sweet diving stop at 3rd base on a bullet to his left.
