Walker’s average exit velocity and barrel percentage match up with his 2024 numbers. Walker’s going to be fine. Abreu’s EV and barrel percentages went way down in 2023 and 2024 from his 2022 season.

I’m going to amend this. I don’t think it was a mistake to bring Contreas out to start the 8th. Espada’s mistake was not bringing in Okert after he gave up the single. Okert should have been ready to go at the start of the inning. If Contreas has a good 8th inning, Okert will start the 9th anyway and if Contreas fucks up, then Okert is ready to go before it becomes a dumpster fire. You don’t have to worry about having Okert getting hot and not using him because he’s definitely going to pitch. Espada does need to learn to anticipate that stuff before it goes down.

He was trying to steal an inning with one of his lesser relievers in a 5 run game given Contreas looked good in the 7th and only threw 6 pitches.

Sorry - I should have clarified this doesn’t generally include Hader/Abreu. However, how many times did Hader give up a key run in his second inning of work last year?

He came in with the bases loaded and no outs.

Every time Espada tries to stretch out a reliever it bites him in the ass. There was no reason to bring Contreas out to start the 8th.

I think the bullpen is fine. Scott needs to be moved down in the pecking order. Bryan King was good last year and looks good again this year.- Annual buttfucking with no lube, 2025 Appraisals

It’s nice having a 1b who can field the position.- Tariff wars, they have began
My point (which was poorly worded) was that the tariffs essentially protect a very profitable part of the legacy US auto-makers business which has led to them avoiding development of other potential areas such as smaller cars which might be interesting to consumers in London/Tokyo mentioned in the other post and smaller more practical trucks,etc. Protecting those markets via tariffs leads to reduced efficiency and innovation which is one of many downsides to TFG’s love of tariffs.- Tariff wars, they have began
They are really good at making full size trucks because of the American tariffs on full size trucks that have been in existence since LBJ. It’s allowed them to be profitable in a single segment instead of trying to compete in other areas.- Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
