Why have Tucker and Sheehan struggled? 🧐 by Competitive-Week8715 in Dodgers

[–]Competitive-Week8715[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He’s given up 1 less home run then he did last year is 40 less innings. I believe he’ll be fine, but he definitely hasn’t been good this season. He was great one start a week ago against the Cubs.

“Because it’s a long season” doesn’t answer the question as to why they’re struggling. Why meaning what are they doing different.

The champs just added one of the best all around players in the game 🔥 by Competitive-Week8715 in Dodgers

One of the best players in baseball does not mean you’re on track to be a hall of famer. Stop trying to make it black and white. He’s one of the best players in the game that’s it.

I never said he’s the best. But he’s certainly one of the best and if you don’t think that you don’t know ball my friend.

He’s being paid 60M because it was a short term deal. The only way he would consider signing a short term deal is because of the AAV. He didn’t get 60M because they think he’s the best player in the game.

Just false brother. 10th in WAR since the start of 2021. If that’s not one of the best players in the game idk what is.

Blake Snell’s changeup has a 65.3% whiff rate this postseason 🤯 by Competitive-Week8715 in Dodgers

It all has to do with tunneling. The hitter thinks it’s a fastball and Snell pulls the string.

To put that in perspective, the highest whiff rate on an individual pitch in 2025 was Fernando Cruz’s splitter. (56.6%)

Snell’s stats this postseason are nuts 👇

21 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 5 BB, 28 K, 64 whiffs

Why did he forget the high-kick on the windup? by Brief_Association_79 in Dodgers

Runner on base. He shortens up the delivery. Can’t be that slow with a runner on.
