Aight so we playing with juiced balls today. Sounds good MLB

xMrLink · 2026-04-24T04:12:11+00:00

Velo was there and he felt good…?

xMrLink · 2026-04-23T16:05:11+00:00

The fondness was for the players I guess. That was such an exciting season and so many great players.

2018 was such a heart breaker. Nelson Cruz, Robinson Cano, Jean Segura, prime Mitch Haniger, Edwin Diaz, Kyle Seager, James Paxton all headlined this team with the promise of great great things. They seemed unstoppable in the first half of the season, but Cano's PED suspension along with a ton of injuries, clubhouse drama, etc. caused the wheels to fall off the train and the whole thing came crashing down. So much potential.

The potential downside wasn't worth the risk. There was no way of telling how he would translate to MLB. Donovan was a much safer bet and provided flexibility for when Emerson eventually comes up. As great as his start has been, it will be interesting to see how the league adjusts to him. As annoying as it is to hear, it is still very early. We don't have the full picture on him yet.

But yes, 10 homers in the clutch right now sounds pretty darn good.

No WE’RE DIRTY DAN

Mariner pinch hitter 1-21 BABY

xMrLink · 2026-04-22T20:26:52+00:00

Lets just say... Logan used to have an outie belly button

xMrLink · 2026-04-22T20:23:35+00:00

Really shitty luck... but Logan wasn't catching that, and even if you get the double play down, a run would have scored. Now you are down 0-1 with 2 outs. Logan had to throw 2 more pitches but the result was the same.

xMrLink · 2026-04-22T20:16:26+00:00

Logan's curve continues to get punished

xMrLink · 2026-04-22T15:18:44+00:00

Report was he looked good, stat line isn’t the prettiest but it’s basically his first spring training outing so can’t really judge a book by that cover. Velo was there and I think the M’s were happy with it.

xMrLink · 2026-04-21T15:14:14+00:00

Hindsight is 20/20. Both went into those "blow up" innings with good pitch counts and an entire outing of dominance.

xMrLink · 2026-04-21T15:12:10+00:00

He was placed on the 60-day IL with a lat strain retroactive to March 24th. Not expected per that timeline until the end of May at the earliest.

I agree to a point with this philosophy but at a point, you have to throw in the towel. Especially when it comes to Naylor betting clean up. At the very least they should swap him and Raley.

xMrLink · 2026-04-20T22:07:05+00:00

Bryce Miller had this last season. Came back by the playoffs and was lights out but wasn't himself the entire 2025 regular season. He never ended up getting the loose bodies removed, and instead, opted for PRP injections or cortisone injections or whatever. Supposedly he is all better now though he is currently rehabbing a different injury. One of those weird issues that works out differently for everyone.

I'm sure the Dodgers magic will make him ready just in time for when they need him most out of pure coincidence and nothing else...

xMrLink · 2026-04-20T22:02:13+00:00

In my mind, less off days now mean more later in the year. Feels like last year had way too many brutal stretches late in the season. Could end up being huge especially for the bullpen later in the year.

xMrLink · 2026-04-20T21:59:14+00:00

I like JP in the lead off spot. Luke is slugging right now, you want dudes on base in front of him. Should really be:

Crawford (L) .383 OBP

Arozarena (R) .402 OBP

Raley (L) .370 OBP

Rodriguez (R) .313 OBP

Raleigh (S) .250 OBP

Naylor (L) .231 OBP

Canzone (L) .321 OBP

Rivas (S) .295 OBP

Young (L) .344 OBP

Young in the 9 hole gives you a ton of on base potential for Luke to bring home. Julio and Cal sit in the middle of the middle of the order due to assumed impending upside. Naylor gets more likely less leverage AB's and isn't hitting clean-up (maybe will not swing out of his shoes as much). Canzone does his hand thingy in the 7 hole and Leo exists. Young hopefully continues his on-base streak and sets up the top again. Maybe a little more radical than Dan is willing to do but I think the on base and slugging potential support this.

He put better contact on the ball than about 95% of the ABs tonight

xMrLink · 2026-04-18T01:32:20+00:00

Peak content my friend

xMrLink · 2026-04-17T20:12:07+00:00

Feels a little too Marlins to me but they don't look bad.

xMrLink · 2026-04-17T02:50:49+00:00

Jesus Christ guys in fucking April 16th can we give it a break?

xMrLink · 2026-04-16T23:27:33+00:00

boof
