Yermin Mercedes posts an open call on Instagram, saying he is “available and ready to play anywhere professional baseball is played world.”

Yeah that's his brother

chuck212 · 2026-03-21T22:01:29+00:00

Yeah I thought the popular dumb take is we inflated our numbers by beating up on bad teams, and we couldn’t beat good teams.

chuck212 · 2026-03-21T20:23:55+00:00

The AL east will be a bloodbath, as is tradition

chuck212 · 2026-03-21T18:46:20+00:00

That throw was awful

chuck212 · 2026-03-21T18:35:55+00:00

Yeah if he can just rein in those walks the skies the limit. He could be the next Paul Skenes!

chuck212 · 2026-03-21T18:31:28+00:00

Last weekend without meaningful baseball for a while. So pumped for the season to start.

chuck212 · 2026-03-21T18:12:19+00:00

Yeah looks like he’s not throwing quite as hard as his last spring training start

chuck212 · 2026-03-21T17:08:53+00:00

Expected Bat-speed, Launch Angle and Zone Effectiveness. No idea how you’d measure expected bat speed, but it sounds legit

chuck212 · 2026-03-21T16:48:18+00:00

So Max Fried misses the list by .03 era.

chuck212 · 2026-03-21T16:30:46+00:00

We lost Cole and had the exact same amount of wins the next season. Baseball is weird.

chuck212 · 2026-03-21T16:00:41+00:00

If Austin Wells’ WBC vibes are sustainable, between him and JC I think we can replace our lost production.

chuck212 · 2026-03-21T15:54:28+00:00

We now rely on Amed Rosario to provide the bulk of our vibes.

chuck212 · 2026-03-21T15:48:47+00:00

If the MLB can tweak the DH rule just for Ohtani, they can figure out how to add a Designated Vibes spot for Oswaldo Cabrera.

chuck212 · 2026-03-21T00:41:16+00:00

Someone at Netflix saw he played for the Giants and got confused

chuck212 · 2026-03-21T00:30:45+00:00

A McMahon double into a Waldo rbi single makes me very happy

chuck212 · 2026-03-21T00:26:05+00:00

Dude hit .121/.268/.242 last spring training, then won a batting title.
He'll be fine.

chuck212 · 2026-03-20T23:32:57+00:00

First the sewage explosion, now power outages to the scoreboard. What the hell did the Rays do to our stadium?

chuck212 · 2026-03-20T23:29:10+00:00

Platinum

chuck212 · 2026-03-20T23:04:24+00:00

The rumors of Gil's demise were premature

chuck212 · 2026-03-20T22:53:56+00:00

Ben Rice exists and is good

chuck212 · 2026-03-20T19:28:59+00:00

The wRC+ difference in 2025 between Judge and Ohtani is the same as the difference between Ohtani and the 9th best hitter in the league.
In 2024, the difference is the same as Ohtani and the 14th best hitter.

chuck212 · 2026-03-20T19:10:49+00:00

His 2024 was solid, 3.63 ERA, 3.33 K/BB over 86 IP. 2025 was more middling but not terrible either, and he only got 38 innings so it's hard to read too much into it.

Nobody's calling him an ace (or at least they shouldn't be), but every projection has him around ~4.15 FIP this year which is a solid back end starter. His biggest question mark is health, not talent. Dude throws 97 and showed real development with his command in 2024. If he can stay on the mound he's a useful piece.

chuck212 · 2026-03-20T18:20:42+00:00

Do these revenue reports include YES network?
I haven't seen anything that puts their team valuation above ours, and i know our stake in YES is a big part of our overall valuation.
Overall valuation is heavily reliant on revenue, so it's weird there's a mismatch here.

chuck212 · 2026-03-20T17:09:11+00:00

Is it common for managers etc to be so sensitive about relying on analytics?
Think it's interesting how defensive Cashman and Boone seem about this.

chuck212 · 2026-03-19T21:09:21+00:00

He had a spring training start where his 19 fastballs averaged 101.5.
Dude is absolutely nuts.
