@Michael_Cerami I think the most alarming issue is his extension this year. He's usually elite which helps his fastball play up, but he's lost half a foot of distance this year.
@drewandthedon@ettingermentum I’m most situations I’d agree except he’s their most important player/prospect on a team that’s on fire with serious playoff ambitions. He’d have needed 120-130 pitches in an ideal scenario to finish the game coming off a major injury. Just not meant to be.
@philipe_the_don@bryancurtis Sure. But if it’s 100-100 and Steph hits a free throw to go up by 1 with .5 seconds left, Mike Breen’s not screaming BAAANNNGGGG
@DieselDingus1@Cernovich@Asmongold Both Americans baby! I’m sure you love the constitution, which the Supreme Court just confirmed today said as much 🙏
@aldumancela@BelligeRich@_NYYNEWS There is roughly one player per year in the entire league that hits around .200 and still gets enough at bats to reach even 20 homers. Players hitting anywhere near .200 that don't have outstanding slug do not see the field. Its just a very lazy straw man argument without merit.
@BelligeRich@aldumancela@_NYYNEWS In general I agree aesthetically. The problem is that the only solution I can think of would be to move the mound further back, a solution that would absolutely not fly with the "back in my day" types like Posada and that cohort
@BelligeRich@aldumancela@_NYYNEWS The entire launch angle philosophy is driven by pitchers throwing so hard. The odds of stringing together 3-4 singles to score some runs in 2005 off of a 90 mph sinkerballer was much more feasible than it is now when #4 starters are throwing 97 mph. Gotta score in spurts instead
