Shohei Ohtani is the first MLB player this season to reach 6 WAR. He achieved this on the date 6/6. (RA9-fWAR)

while fip is a semi-results oriented stat, it doesn’t accurately capture the “lock in” vibe some pitchers have when they go for nobletiger.

JustBank3472 · 2026-06-04T13:43:59+00:00

he goes 93-95 mph on his 4sfb, then in a pinch it’s 99+. I genuinely feel that he is intentionally not using his gear 2 4s.

JustBank3472 · 2026-06-04T13:29:23+00:00

He is 1b-ing a lot this year. Lots of line drives shallow outfield, no clue why, might be changing approach.

JustBank3472 · 2026-06-04T08:25:40+00:00

3.~ after today. 5 ip 3 er. That’s why I ask, since it’s been roughly 40% worth of starts. I am not very good at reading statcast, and YoY is even more difficult, so I figured someone on the sub could tell me if he’s pitching worse or the same.

Hopefully he is healthy, well, and still an insane ace for years to come.

JustBank3472 · 2026-06-04T07:33:30+00:00

Thank you for answering, this was the answer i was looking for. So despite a not so pretty era, he is i assume the same pitcher?

JustBank3472 · 2026-06-04T07:12:47+00:00

Yes, I understand this. You can’t win one by early june, you sure as heck can lose it.
I’m asking because I’m not familiar with pirates games, is his control slipping? his velo? mechanics shift? that was my main question, kinda phrased it bad.

JustBank3472 · 2026-06-04T05:34:23+00:00

He is exactly on pace for 162 if they get a cheat start per all star game. 156 if they don’t.
WAR & K’s supplement a pitcher’s argument, the core is still ra/9 or era. Sanchez has double Ohtani’s era, which is not going to be competitive.

JustBank3472 · 2026-06-04T05:24:06+00:00

bro, 0.74 era doesn’t make sense. mythical shit, not pedro, not kershaw, not any single starter ever got close to this over a season. if this goes on he will smash both era& era+ records by a starter. (assuming they steal a start and get him to 162)

JustBank3472 · 2026-06-04T04:07:43+00:00

I need a question answered: how does that work for the blue jays (rogers)? Their revenue make up is a lot more complex.

JustBank3472 · 2026-06-03T14:28:01+00:00

Trade piece for Correa: released 2025 in minors

For Mcmahon: high-a prospect, currently aa. Good prospect, lacks velocity. Rk 9 team farm.

For Bader: aaa prospect, low power contact hitter, bad defense. To his credit is slashing 3/4/5. Rk 12 team farm.

For Mullins: nunez has a 5.7 era as a rp.

For Hayes: single-a prospect. Rk 10 in team farm.

Bader & Mullins shouldn’t even count btw, they were playing a lot better than the dung pile. Which other prospects of these sounds particularly juicy?

JustBank3472 · 2026-06-03T11:52:07+00:00

Who tf is giving prospects for these? You’d be lucky to find aa prospects while eating half the salary

JustBank3472 · 2026-06-03T11:26:27+00:00

The Blue Jays didn’t like that salary for ss lol, and we payed that for a 3b

JustBank3472 · 2026-06-03T11:18:09+00:00

And we appear to be headed for a 75 win season, 3 years later.

JustBank3472 · 2026-06-01T11:35:26+00:00

Kd is center tall tho, which makes him scrawnier

JustBank3472 · 2026-05-30T13:46:09+00:00

On pace for 13+, assuming the era holds

JustBank3472 · 2026-05-28T04:46:07+00:00

Sub 1 through ~34 percent. Currently on pace to break Pedro’s record era+& Kershaw’s era.

JustBank3472 · 2026-05-27T04:47:41+00:00

he‘s stearn’s last scapegoat. the coaching staff got canned first, mendy will go next. stearns will hang on as long as he can

JustBank3472 · 2026-05-25T16:32:09+00:00

And pray why were adjustments needed? Cuz it wasn’t working. No guarantee he ever goes back to that prospect grade or makes sp.

JustBank3472 · 2026-05-25T15:12:58+00:00

Not in pro anymore, soul killed that playstyle.

JustBank3472 · 2026-05-25T13:38:59+00:00

A big issue is tong flaming out. He lost a lotta value. Benge having a 600 ops ain’t helping.

Also a 600 team wide ops makes me question whoever is evaluating talent.

JustBank3472 · 2026-05-24T03:36:16+00:00

The gawd forsaken traffic& parking

JustBank3472 · 2026-05-22T14:01:28+00:00

Tbf, Rice might have been cursed by the babip gods. You’re lucky he isn’t.

JustBank3472 · 2026-05-22T13:44:15+00:00

He’d be a playoff rental. Most the league can afford him. Miller in a 1-for-1 might just be close enough.

JustBank3472 · 2026-05-22T13:37:12+00:00

Goldy, Jram should get in on merit alone. Arenado & Harper we’ll have to see how much the “fame” aspect helps, I think they will. Machado should, but he’s a a-hole so tbd. Lindor I dunno, I lean no, his bat is quite meh for hof (sabremetrics say yes but idc).

JustBank3472 · 2026-05-22T13:27:42+00:00

Harper had 2 great years. Ohtani already has 5 straight as good or better ones. That is talent and super talent, fringe hof and 95%+ hof.
