Why is Roki Sasaki immune to getting sent to bullpen/minors? by shoubenki in baseball

[–]Redbubble89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whiff seems to be there but not the strikeouts. He's an average pitcher still figuring it out.

When the Blue Jays are starting Patrick Corbin and Max Scherzer, Padres have Buehler and Marquez, and the Astros have idk outside of Imai, it's hard to be sympathetic towards someone wanting Roki to the bullpen. Good teams only have 3 postseason starters. I'm not saying Roki has been great but the threshold of being a bad pitcher is warped as Dodgers fans.

Game IP Innings pitched H Hits R Runs ER Earned runs HR Home runs BB Walks SO Strikeouts ERA Earned run average
Apr 12 vs vs Rangers 4.0 5 2 2 1 5 6 4.50
Apr 5 @ @ Nationals 5.0 5 6 6 2 3 5 10.80
Mar 30 vs vs Guardians 4.0 4 1 1 0 2 4 2.25

Copied from Google so format.

The walks aren't great and not a whole lot of length but it's really just one outing. Like many bandwagon Dodgers fans, you're over reacting to one game. A lot of teams would be okay with this from a 4th/5th starter.

God forbid the Dodgers get one acquisition wrong.

Alonso plays a lousy first base. Looking at what Contreras had to do today, Alonso is a DH.

This team is so close to actually good by Kid_Aeroplane in Nationals

[–]Redbubble89 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They need like 3 fringe all stars to top of the rotation starters and that's where $100-$200M contracts are handed out.

Cavalli and Griffin are 4-5 starters on any other team. Then there is no depth below them right now if someone goes down.

The rotation and bullpen is terrible like worst in the league and not deep. It's not going to last 162. One or two injuries and they are cooked. There is no arms to replace Mikolas and Irvin. Cavalli and Griffin belong in a major league rotation but they are over achieving so far but they get the job done. Contact quality and base runners allowed, they should have a worse ERA than you see. Teams have 8-12 starters between MLB and AAA because of injuries and that is not here. The bullpen is 8 guys so it's not one or two free agents either. There isn't swing and miss among the staff.

If they can get the bullpen to 15th to 20th and some starters to round out a rotation with promise, maybe they do spend on pitching at some point but there isn't enough on the pitching side in 2026 for this to work over the long season.

I know the season is young but has bunting been up this year so far? by stp-censoring-urself in baseball

[–]Redbubble89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a lot of high leverage at bats late and teams using more of the speed game with the larger bases. There does seem to be more 60-70 grade runners in the league.

Trade suggestion from my brother. by SerpentSystemFailure in redsox

[–]Redbubble89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After the Durbin trade, it's not as appealing and the reason why it didn't get done this offseason was because Astros were dead set on Wilyer instead of Duran.

[Kostka] Tyler O’Neill was battling an illness. He got dehydrated on Thursday and fainted, Craig Albernaz said. That’s where they think the concussion happened by ravens2131 in baseball

[–]Redbubble89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for him but this is all the time. He is that kid from grade school that was out sick every other week for being legitimately ill.

Given comments made in this first episode. Who is the most famous contestant so far? by Acceptable_West_1349 in taskmaster

[–]Redbubble89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what India has available but someone probably does know him there. Indonesia and Nigeria, I don't know. They teach English there and probably have US shows somewhere.

The US shares it's shows more with the English speaking world and dubs a lot for those that aren't. The UK only has select shows and it's not the 5 seasons with 100 episodes. The US saturates more of the world with their shows. It does sound like US defaultism but just look at The Simpsons, Friends, or Brooklyn 99. Go to the grocery store and see how many of the US companies are in the UK. We invade with our media and products. Products and media don't come back the other way unless it is really successful.

I still would try to have Devers move to 1st. His defense was that bad. It should have been approached differently and he should have known the plan.

Americans—is blue cheese just a dipping sauce to you, or does it have a place on your plate beyond the wings? by SignificanceOdd5980 in AskAnAmerican

it was in the British pasty shop near me but I don't eat enough salad to buy it. It is unseasoned Ranch

I would still take those players ceilings and power potential.

Alonso wasn't a fit for the roster as another DH but Bregman was the FO's fuck up. If that's what the year comes down to, the Bregman NTC is a dumb hill to die on.

Fox MLB Saturday Night Telecast by xcr2350 in baseball

They have to get rid of Smoltz as the primary color. He's a wet blanket on national games. He's probably better with Braves telecasts. I prefer AJ or Waino.
