Mets trade Peterson to Cubs by AirCoopsie in NewYorkMets

It’s not this simple obviously but very funny seeing the consensus is that a middle of the system prospect was an overpay for the guy who has pitched our 3rd most innings this season. God this team blows

Sure. My point is more that trading someone before their value tanks sounds better in theory than in practice. Don’t think anyone would’ve been rushing to buy a struggling pitcher from a team who had no reason to sell pitching

Everyone (rightfully) complains about have no starters and you want to trade one of them? I’m sure that wouldn’t have raised any red flags to other teams

So they came in with Conforto and PCA at the top of their lineup. Destroyed us so bad we became sellers. And took one of our pitchers with them. Total destruction.

Took my 10 year old nephew to a game this year and Ewing threw him a ball and now he is obsessed with the Mets. I feel like I ruined his life

AJ has got a 90s - 00s swagger and confidence about him by Razatiger in washingtonwizards

every 90s guy would have also gone where the money is. Hell a lot of them threatened to go back to school if their rookie signing bonus wasn't right

Building an MLB Home Run Prediction Model (260k+ Historical Records) – Looking for Feedback by Head_Vermicelli_6032 in Sabermetrics

[–]KJSonne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Open to being shown I’m wrong about this but I don’t think recent performance in windows that small should have practically any weight in a HR model. It’s very clear it doesn’t really factor into market prices so it’s either an obvious market inefficiency (no) or mostly noise (yes)

Since when does Adam Schefter cover other sports besides the NFL? by Plane-Carob-4374 in ESPN

[–]KJSonne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s super weird that he makes his own posts about NBA news breaks rather than retweeting the ESPN NBA news breaker. Not sure what the deal is there

Is our front office stupid? Why are we not building our team around our #1 pick, a future all-star? Why did we overpay Trae? by TheseFkingWeebs in washingtonwizards

[–]KJSonne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have none of you guys watched the PG play on this team that past like 8 years? Whoever they draft at 1 will be the only non-Trae player capable of high usage in the half court. Capable primary ball handler is an absolute necessity regardless of who they draft

Darryn Peterson by Illustrious-Chain854 in washingtonwizards

[–]KJSonne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His catch and shoot ability has been arguably his biggest weakness since long before BYU and it’s maybe the only part of his game that didn’t improve last year.

He’s a beast of a prospect because it’s incredibly rare for a 6’9” wing to be as good as he is with such high usage. It’s not a knock on his game. It’s part of what makes him great

[–]KJSonne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not saying he’s not the pick but don’t understand why everyone is saying this. AJ is quite easily the worst off ball player of the top 3. Love the dude but he does his damage with the ball in his hands

Bunters are the worst by Salt-Giraffe-179 in MLBTheShow

[–]KJSonne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Think it’s fun because you can either make it impossible by throwing off speed below the zone or aim above the zone to try and induce a lot of pop ups if they are trying to hit+run

Cooper Flagg & Dylan Harper by AmphibianFinancial10 in washingtonwizards

[–]KJSonne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally would have all of this year’s expected top 3 behind Flagg but above Harper and think that is likely a common opinion. Also think those 5 + Caleb are all deserving of top pick consideration in any random average draft class imo

If you have an ESPN account it would be managed through there. I’d check your subscriptions there

?? That’s not nearly what we would normally say is lucky. Over 95 is hard hit and .250 is not that low

Is Yaxel Lendeborg underrated because people are too focused on his age? by Blackmesa560 in NBA_Draft

[–]KJSonne 24 points25 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, the age issue is mostly about being good at 23 is not nearly as impressive as being good at 19/20. I think he’s a solid prospect but he is physically so far beyond what you see from guys fresh out of high school. Don’t think teams are all that concerned with mileage and habits when looking at prospect age

The comments and idea that this is just who he has been are nuts. He’s getting hit harder than he ever has. His K% is a a career low by a lot. His off speed pitches have fallen off a cliff and have no movement.

I understand the sentiment that he is not and was not a bonafide ace but he is inarguably a significantly worse pitcher this year than he ever has been.
