@LastDiveBar
. How can you not be romantic about baseball? Unfortunately, John Fisher doesn’t have even 1% of passion like this. You can paint over it, but the A’s will forever be “Rooted in Oakland.” The interview in its entirety:
Paul Skenes’ MLB debut is the most anticipated pitching debut I can remember since Stephen Strasburg took the mound in June of 2010. He struck out 14 that day (Vs the Pirates coincidentally). Any chance we see Skenes pile up double digit Ks tomorrow?

More on episode 9:
This Corbin Carroll video from 7/7/23 has been swirling around a lot lately. He had labrum surgery in 2021. His current SLG% is .246 🤮. ISO is .053. HR/FB is 2.8% (was 15.4 last year). His K% is lower than ever so he didn’t just become bad at baseball. This is a strength issue.
We are an ALL MLB podcast, but we’re very excited to bring you some single-team experts as guests on the pod in the coming weeks!
Ep 16 (this week):
@Wilnerness
(Blue Jays talk)
Ep 17: hoping we can make it work with

to discuss LAA
Ep 18:
@TheVergePod
- Orioles MiLB
⚾️Coby Mayo since returning to Triple A after a rehab assignment in High A: 6-13, 3 doubles, 3 homers, 6 RBI. I’d say he’s ready. Question is, if he does get the call, will he get consistent playing time or will he fall into the Kjerstad part time role?
#Birdland
Some Edwin Diaz concerns. In 2019 he was awful for the Mets. Ton of HRs
HR/FB% is 18.2%. In ‘19 it was 26.8%. Never higher than 13% in other years as a Met.
Fastball velo is 97.3. Lowest since that awful ‘19 season.
K/9 13.5, lowest as a Met.
BABIP only .174 which will go up
Which
#prospect
that hasn’t debuted yet are you most excited to eventually see at the
#MLB
level? Could be someone who is on the precipice, someone that’s years away, or anyone in between.
Over the last month, there’s a surprising SP getting hit harder than anyone else. The average EV vs Logan Webb is 95.0. For his career, EV is 89.5. HardHit% vs Webb over the last month is 67.5% 😳 Next worst is Bailey Falter at 51.5%. Webb’s career HardHit% is 42.1. 🤔

Is it time to declare Luis Severino fully back? Last four starts he’s only given up 5 runs in 25 innings. Took a no hitter into the 8th tonight. 2.31 ERA on the year.
The Yanks are cruising. Everything’s clicking. The lead the AL in wins. But what about Clay Holmes & his 0 ERA? Best closer in MLB? Or Fluke?

Garrett Crochet with another A+ start: 7 IP, 2 ER, 11 K. Trade Stock 📈? A potential innings limit complicates his value. 2022: 0 IP, ‘23: 25 IP. His highest IP total? 65 IP back in college. 2+ yrs of control. Would a team acquire him,put him in the pen and then back to SP in 25?

💨Boston stole 9 bases vs the Yanks tonight. David Hamilton had. Kudos to Alex Cora. We downplay the role of managers these days but the good ones get more from their roster than most think possible and expose flaws in other teams. That’s Cora.

Do the other managers not watch baseball?? Holy shit 😂. Anyway, first base isn’t super hard to find. Love Vinnie but you absolutely need to replace him with one of wood, Skubal or Skenes.

The topic of Pete Alonso’s looming free agency ain’t going away anytime soon. Joel Sherman stated Pete turned down 7 years, $158 million this offseason. So what’s he worth? $30 mil per year is too much, right? *note: check out Ep8 for the whole 12 minute conversation
#LGM
A lot of people are pushing for Paul Skenes to START the ASG. For entertainment value, I definitely get it, but it’s a really tough sell when you look at what Chris Sale has done: 11-3, 2.71 ERA, 11.47 K/9 in 99.2 IP. Skenes’

are very similar in only 59.2 IP

Heston Kjerstad got only 17 ABs in 17 days after his callup. Now he’s back in AAA. The O’s logjam has been described as a “good problem” to have and many explain it away with “these type of things usually work themselves out.” We’re not so sure. Listen to Ep 9 for more

Vladdy is scorching hot 🔥 right now. last 8 games: hitting .432, 5 doubles, 6 HRs, 20 RBI. Raised his avg from .278 to .296 in that time. Great timing for TOR as trade season looms. Still 2 years of control left with this type of production? The return could be huge
#TOTHECORE
The biggest surprise of the MLB weekend has to be the Astros sweeping the O’s. And at times they looked dominant doing it. Don’t look now, but the Stros are creeping up on AL teams. 4 GB in the wild card, 6 games behind the Mariners. 5 consecutive wins.
#Relentless

Over the last month of play, Aaron Judge leads the league in Barrel%…by a lot. 42.3%. Here’s the rest of the top 5:

4. Giancarlo Stanton: 20.6%

The Mets will be one of the most interesting teams to watch as the trade deadline approaches once the calendar turns to July. Surely David Stearns won’t trade Pete Alonso if they continue to play this well, right?? His track record says wrong.
#LGM
👑The Royals are in the midst of a crazy difficult part of their schedule. Guardians, Mariners, Yankees, Dodgers. Yesterdays walk off win vs the Yanks was huge for them. They’re 4-5 during this stretch. Now off to LA…can they take 2 of 3 to finish it .500?

questions in! Or even some non-baseball questions if that’s what you’re feeling. Tons to discuss in the world of
#MLB
right now!
What do we think Jackson Holliday’s peak is? .300 hitter, 30 HR power? What about Coby Mayo’s peak? .270, 40 HR power? I can’t understand
#Tigers
fans crapping on a Mayo-led package and saying it’s Holliday or bust. JH has the better glove, but Mayo could be an offensive force.
So I’ve seen this “more homers than Judge since 2019” argument a lot for Mets fans saying do whatever it takes to re-sign Pete. Here’s the difference. When Judge comes to the plate in a big spot, there is real fear in the ❤️s of the opposing team/fans. Can we say that about Pete?
Not buying it. If they continue to be this bad or even just slightly better, they’ll absolutely sell. Their farm system ranked 27th by MLB Pipeline with ZERO top 100 prospects. And remember, before all this success, it was the stros who made tearing it down and rebuilding “cool.”
"No. No, I can't envision that. This ballclub is too good."
- Astros GM Dana Brown on if he envisions a scenario where the team is a seller

⚾️Our conversation based on a mailbag 📬question: “With Willie Mays’ passing, who takes over as MLB’s greatest living player?” Easy answer in our opinions. Anyone want to argue against it? 🤨
#SFGIANTS
Saw this graphic on MLB Network today. Surprised we haven’t heard more conjecture about it. Tatis is seemingly a different player since he came back from the PED suspension.
