Re: Breaking: Ohtani with a torn UCL, won't pitch, might not DH

Absolutely zero reason to back off because of this injury. Pay Ohtani as a hitter and put options in the contract that pay him more if he is successful as a pitcher. And forget the “we can’t pay that much for a DH because WAR” BS since whatever you lose by not having him in the field will be offset ...

JK is now 24 years old. When does he become an adult?

Legally an adult, but the human brain isn’t fully developed until around age 26. So we can be hopeful some maturity will kick on over the next couple years :D

Re: The Trade

First of all I was fine trading Sewald. He pitched well for the most part but I was never a huge fan for some reason given the smoke an mirrors aspect of his stuff. Here is a thought though. I think he might still be on the team of JK hadn't kicked the cooler. Jerry felt like he needed a mlb ready ...

Re: Thoughts on the series

It's been two or three years, and I don't remember the source, but I read an article where GMs and hitters were asked about the reasons everyone was swinging for the fences. Basically it came down to the idea that with everyone throwing in the high 90s with multiple breaking pitches, the odds of hit...

Re: Strike Outs

The real question is why we don’t have new hitting coaches. It’s clear there is a problem. It’s also clear the current hitting coaches either doesn’t have answers on how to fix the problems or don’t have the players buy-in to get them to change
