I said it before… Verdugo looks like a different guy to me this year. His shoulders look a lot bigger. His power appears different, too, obv. Comes from rocking the baby all off-season.

Houck's lack of command is frustrating

Verdugo’s launch angle is 13.8 so far compared to his career 7.6

Xander really in a funk. Not seeing the ball well? Any other Xander videos available?

Let the record reflect that JBJ hit a bomb even if it was an out. He looks pretty good to me.

The Renfroe JBJ debate will continue on this board though lol In fairness, I think the debate is as much JBJ/Renfroe/*other* — that is, trading Renfroe was acceptable in a context that *also* brought another OF by trade or FA. Minus that, JBJ or Renfroe feels maybe risky. And I *love* JBJ. If Verdugo keeps hitting dingers, the OF issues will go away, though!

Hard to overstate how much it would be worth to Chaim's supporters engaged in message board debates if JBJ puts up more WAR than Renfroe this year

Very true, Verdugo is helping heal the Mookie wounds right now as well! JBJ/Renfroe is such a classic regression to the mean arbitrage, but I don’t want to jinx it since baseball is baseball

It's one of the weaknesses of their positional adjustments - JBJ helps the team more by playing RF, but WAR knocks him for it.

It didn't surprise me that ESPN didn't know about Houck's new delivery but it does surprise me that NESN hasn't picked it up. No, it's no longer just like Sale except mirrored. What are they looking at ?

NESN really did hire Mazz for regular season games. He makes John Sterling sound competent. Thank goodness for the mute button. Tell me something I don't know.
