Sorry for the lack of BB this week, some time constraints were the primary culprit, but I’m back with a few thoughts on the pitchers from Wednesday’s games:

: Hello everyone! Thanks for coming to my chat!! |
| 1:03 |
: weekly skubal check in?? |
| 1:04 |
: It’s not good. I was not concerned after the first 3 with only Texas really standing out as problematic, but the other 2 v. BOS & TOR. Felt like standard regression. Now we’re at 5 starts w/a 2.0 HR9, soaring walk rate, and big velo dip last time out v. KC. I’m not yet cutting him in most lgs (maybe a 10) but I’m benching him |
| 1:04 |
: Who is to blame for the white sox |
| 1:06 |
: Everyone wants it to all be TLR, but that’s not really the case. Mgrs. rarely have THAT much overall impact. I do think he is a net negative for sure and the hiring NEVER made sense (unless you know the personal friendships of TLR & Reinsdorf, but certainly no baseball sense). They’ve also been ravaged by injuries which isn’t an excuse as all teams get hit, but it can be a reason for a team’s shortcomings in a given season. Kopech looks off completely right now, too. I still can’t rule them out of the Central bc of their core of talent, but they are far from the favorites |
| 1:06 |
: Where do yo think Isaac Paredes’s talent stabilizes? I know Statcast hates him. Can he be a 25 HR .800 OPS guy? |

: Hello everyone! Let’s talk some baseball!! |
| 1:03 |
: Strider or Roansy long-term? |
| 1:04 |
: Strider for me! He looks every bit like a legit SP |
| 1:05 |
: think snell figures it out this year? under the hood doesn’t look that far off from career numbers but he’s been tough even in shallow leagues |
| 1:05 |
: The tough part is when command goes in and out, he can be great for 3-4 IP and then off for 1-2 and those 1-2 can be killer |
| 1:06 |
: Hi Paul! Would you rather start Gonsolin vs SD or Javier vs LAA? |
