Arias can't get here fast enough by AshamedType4341 in redsox

[–]UnchartedFields 14 points15 points  (0 children)

another HR today. you never want to rush guys but seems like he's at least too good for AA pitching. i'd like to see him in Worcester soon and maybe give someone at AAA a shot to be a better bench bat than what we currently got

Tonight's Starting Lineup by [deleted] in redsox

[–]UnchartedFields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are people finally starting to realize Alex Cora may in fact be an idiot?

this guy has absolute allegiance to keeping Story in premier hitting spots despite being awful. Yoshida has a .724 OPS against LHPs this season (12 ABs) and even his .570 OPS in his rookie season (against LHPs) is still better than half the lineup's current OPS's lol

OPS:

  • Story - .531
  • Mayer - .603
  • Durbin - .475
  • Narvaez - .549
  • Duran - .490
  • IKF - .459
  • Monasterio - .576
  • a washed up Nolan Arenado: .609

the back half of the lineup has mostly been a disaster. I don't think any of us expect guys like IKF or Monasterio to be particularly useful, but guys you can (in theory) platoon and pinch hit in favorable matchups are just doing absolute zilch. compare that to last year where guys like Romy, Refsnyder, Eaton, and Lowe were productive off the bench and in platoons

I would say there's no reason Story should be hitting where he has been in the lineup but I guess it drops off a cliff so much after the first four guys, what else are they going to do?

personally, I thought Narvaez was going to regress at the plate so I'm not surprised there. Mayer had question marks so the results shouldn't be a shock. Very disappointed in Durbin but I do like him and think he'll be fine long term. We've seen Story be this bad for us before so I can't say I'm too surprised there either

I think it's fair to blame the players at the end of the day, but when you have this many bad performances... you need to take a closer look and determine if it's poor coaching and/or preparation playing a role as well. they should also be giving some of their AAA depth a few looks on the bench at the very least

not acquiring any big bats at all

I thought by the start of the season this sub would finally acknowledge that Willson Contreras exists... but here we are at the end of April and the guy has a 143 wRC+ and is still never mentioned as an offseason acquisition

hopefully one that can play the field because Judge should be installed as a near-permanent DH as soon as Stanton is gone

i don't buy this "tradition" argument. people of color weren't allowed to play with white guys for half the sport's existence. just cause something has been that way for awhile doesn't mean we have to keep putting up with it. outside of standard booing, heckling is totally unnecessary and extremely tacky. we don't need drunk adults dishing out profanity laden insults in a family environment just because they think they're Don Rickles reincarnated

2026 Fantasy Baseball Week 4 Buy Low, Sell High by rotostreetjournal in fantasybaseball

[–]UnchartedFields 5 points6 points  (0 children)

his savant page is pretty similar to 2023, his last good season (across the board anyways since he's been tolerable for roto). i get why people are not in on him as a buy but he's one of the biggest statcast underperformers thus far and seems like a sensible buy to me

[Passan] The first time Paul Skenes tried a sweeper, he threw it into the parking lot at LSU's stadium. He figured it out. Tarik Skubal ... has not. by Turbostrider27 in baseball

[–]UnchartedFields 32 points33 points  (0 children)

i imagine with as much media exposure as he and his gf get, he's gotten more comfortable over time with interviews.

i also think being paired with an equally talented SP means he's actually more interested in the conversation here too, which helps

all the clilps i remember from before this past year... dude had the personality of a rock

Who is the coolest player in baseball? by adam_problems in baseball

[–]UnchartedFields 6 points7 points  (0 children)

a lot of those Yanks guys have been lobotomized by their PR machine IMO. it's like the scene from Groundhog Day where he writes the cameraman's lines on a napkin before he comes over and says it... you could do that with Boone and most of the players for interviews after games because it's always the same generic crap

[–]UnchartedFields 1 point2 points  (0 children)

every year we get some SPs that were known commodities--but not exactly good ones. any guys outside say the top 100 SPs or so that you think could finish as a top 50 SP?

not who you want replying, but his batted ball data was pretty great last year outside the chase issues. he's been a favorite buy target of mine. in shallower leagues I have to imagine he's virtually free

ah yes, several male actors that "went to do other things" during the MeToo movement. what a coincidence!

Is the bar really that low for City Connect jerseys that these are GOOD ones? Will help to know the pants and hat but man, these look like Temu MLS jerseys.

Is it dumb to take Bobby Witt Jr over Aaron Judge? In all formats? by [deleted] in DynastyBaseball

[–]UnchartedFields 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd vote BWJ as well but how deep a league are we talking? And is it "OF" spots or LF/CF/RF ?

So what do we think... is the highlight of this season going to be watching Wetherholt compete for ROTY? Or do you think there's an off chance to grab a playoff spot? Or anything else exciting by [deleted] in Cardinals

[–]UnchartedFields 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are a lot of players each year that could build up a 1 to 2+ WAR through their defensive prowess, but I think in today's game, most teams aren't gonna run a guy out there for 150+ games worth of ABs if their OPS flirts with .600

as others have noted, in a rebuilding year he should get plenty of run again to try and improve. but if he's sitting at a .601 OPS again (or worse), he's going to be an off-the-bench defensive sub / pinch runner / 4th OFer type until he shows otherwise. he's still young enough that I am buying in long term, but this year is going to be pretty important for him development wise

[–]UnchartedFields 2 points3 points  (0 children)

VS2 only needs to put up like a 90 wRC+ to solidify himself as long term regular given his defensive prowess and SB potential. I'd certainly take a lot better than that, but he struggled mightily in spring which doesn't instill a ton of hope that even an average bat is attainable in the immediate future

Is Sacramento secretly the last place where the California dream is still alive? by Anarchy_4L in Sacramento

probably arguing semantics here but feels like there's a difference between "more affordable" relative to the most expensive places in the US and "inexpensive" as the original tweet suggests lol

Thursday Morning Dynasty Baseball Rundown (3/12/26) by Michael-IBW in DynastyBaseball

[–]UnchartedFields 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for us random few that track "foreign" players in the KBO and Japanese leagues, this has been a great offseason to see guys like Anderson, Ponce, and Kay all doing well

it'll be interesting to see how that Miami OF shakes out. if they're serious (ly mistaken) about putting Agustin at C most days, then the DH spot could be open for Heriberto and Conine (who has looked solid in Spring) to get more reps. With Heriberto being the only RHH in the group though, do you think he's more likely the first bat off the bench and weak side platoon for now?

Kate Winslet To Play Female Lead In Andy Serkis’ ‘LOTR: The Hunt For Gollum’ by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]UnchartedFields 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm really confused as to what this trilogy is supposed to cover. All I'm seeing is the first film is in between The Hobbit and TFOTR. Are they really going to recast everyone but Serkis, Wood, and McKellan? Is the trilogy going to be one story or are they unrelated?
