  1. Pretty good video of 5-6 BP swings. A few missiles
  2. Using ExpressVPN. Super easy to setup.
  3. Northern VA. MASN territory. Use VPN to get around the blackouts.
  4. Posted this in the Comcast thread, but it's more applicable here. Just signed up for MLB.TV 2024 season. If you can qualify through GovX or already have an account, you can get 35% off the subscription. My total ended up being $97.49 for the All Teams package. GovX MLB.TV Deal 2024

  6. Buried in the article, but it says this: “Verlander said he heard at the trade deadline that the Dodgers and Orioles were interested, and he said he’d have accepted Los Angeles or even Baltimore if those were the options. “I’m from Virginia,” Verlander said. But when Houston, where he’d won his rings, became viable, he said he was happy to “steer things” that way.”
  7. I actually get this same exact feeling when I watch Urias bat. Not certain on the actual metrics, but just watching on TV it always looks slow, or at least he doesn't appear to exert the same energy into his swing as the others.
  8. Yeah didn’t intend for it to read as it should be fixed, rather more that it looks unusual. It’s obviously working
  9. I’m far from a professional hitting coach, but I was the game last night and his swing looks a little unorthodox. Not the setup, or the finish, but more so something with his hands/wrists mid bat path. Like a little hitch. Hard to explain. He’s been super successful so perhaps it doesn’t reduce the amount of time his bat is in the zone.
  10. Agree with others, that Holliday is the one with the most realistic chance. In addition to his domination of AA and his AAA performance, IIRC, Gunnar had the jump largely because he greatly reduced his chase rates and increased his BB%. With that said, I don't think Holliday has had enough ABs to show any "holes" that he has to fix like Gunnar did. Which would eliminate an unexpected turnaround to help quickly catapult him. With that said, if he plays the second half of the season in AA next year and exceeds his expected outcome by a large margin than there is small chance, but I would expect the real possibility to come in '24.
  11. Yeah, 100% agree. However, their actual “rankings” don’t include Jud. I’m sure they require a minimum number of ABs, but not sure what that is. Also, their response regarding Joey Ortiz stated his age weighed heavily in their algorithm. Adding that he only has a few years to reach typical player peak. Curious how Fangraphs takes age into their calculations.
  12. @Frobby Their response “Projected peak production at the MLB level based on 2022 MiLB production, relative to player age/level.” I responded and asked specifically about Joey Ortiz, but nothing yet.
  13. That’s a great question. I have inquired with the owners of the data set. I thought he was an outlier as well. Odd based on current production.
