    I've been beating the Varland drum for a while now. No reason to believe it precludes future starting for him and its the only way he can make the postseason roster without a catastrophe. He also seems like a guy who can really pump it up in a short stint. Paddock would be a natural fit as well. Meada didn't come back last year because the team tanked. Had there been a playoff run Meada would have gotten a look and I don't see any non-medical reason why they wouldn't give Paddock some hitters. How he looks and feels decides how far it goes. If he's on track bring him back. Kuechel is a no. Can't strike anyone out, struggles controlling the running game, opposite of a firefighter. I can't think of a single game situation where I would want to use him our of the pen. I'm good with him hanging around for a while, making spot starts to eat innings and setup a post season rotation but I can't see him making the postseason roster. Meada is pitching too well to fool with. Depending on how Ryan comes back the rotation will be interesting. I could see him piggy back with someone but he needs to stay stretched out. Paddock and Varland would be enough to provide real options, just like making a trade™️. I still think the only way to make a run this year is to pitch our way through and we might as well throw all the arms at we can.

    Agreed, but he'll still finish ahead of Gray and deservedly so. A mention that a guy pitching in his spare time is as good or better across the board than Gray is good context.
  3. Jocko87
    He's still available at +10,000 odds (appropriate) if you are so inclined. I'll keep my powder dry. I feel like a guy like Shohei Ohtani would deserve at least a mention. No shade on Sonny, haha, but he ain't in this conversation.

    Lotta hard hit balls today, has a beer league softball feel.
  5. Jocko87
    Keep it up.

    I have a camp chef and love it. I like not having to tend a fire for now but when I have more free time an egg will be a good option.

    Nothing gets in the way of a blackout.
  8. Jocko87
    And couldn’t break 3 WAR. I also don’t need him to sign that same contract. It won’t be the money that stops it.
  9. Jocko87
    I'm not one prone to hyperbole and not reacting to one game. The Schwarber comp is a good one. He hits leadoff for a legit contender and can't catch a cold.
  10. Jocko87
    It also returned a 30 for 30 home run estimation. 108.2, 412ft and 38 degrees is caught 25% of the time in a bizarro galaxy. Those two facts don't add up. I've said it a million times. The teams that can process the data properly will be successful. Any team that takes the data as presented will fail. As in business, success is found in others mistakes. I firmly believe no major league team is using the public statcast data as presented to us rubes. They would be fools to.

    A reminder that contracts and especially arbitrations are largely decided on the aggregate and by the end of this Gallo cycle the FO might look pretty good. Schwarber got 79m, Gallo might still get in QO range. Gallo is accumulating some money stats and can catch too.
  12. Jocko87
    I'm going to do a deep dive and report back on all the stats that use xBa so we can disregard them with impunity.
  13. Jocko87
    JHFC xBa is garbage. Gallo 2nd home run was 0.750. Also Jeff Hoffman, old friend, would be handy to still have around.
  14. Jocko87
    Oh right, then Duran.
  15. Jocko87
    Duran probably next.
  16. Jocko87
    What a call. Ump was the only guy watching who got it right.
  17. Jocko87
    Our mind, no. Theirs? Maybe.
  18. Jocko87
    Stinging the ball all night, off lefties too.
  19. Jocko87
    Is Schwarber a good Gallo comp? Schwarber is the top of Gallo upside with the bat but Gallo can catch. Schwarber got 79m to be a negative war player. I’m wondering if the QO is still on their mind.
  20. Jocko87
    Gallo's gonna hit 8 home runs in August.
  21. Jocko87
    Not bad. Lotta soft contact.
  22. Jocko87
    How did Wallner do that?
  23. Jocko87
    Pablo looks good tonight.
  24. Jocko87
    We're out here with you, for a while at least. Must be a nice Saturday night in Minnesota. State Fair?
