Tony Phillips posted:Was gonna make some dumb rear end post about some guy named Koufax who barely made it another season past his perfect game but then I just stared at Koufax's last four seasons and Christ. It's really interesting to look at BB-ref and select Koufax years. Sum up his first six years, and then compare those numbers to his last six years. It really is a tale of two totally different careers. The difference was in spring training going into his seventh season, a catcher (not Roseboro, someone else) convinced him to take a little off his fastball. Sandy was a fireballer and his fastball was a killer, but his control was awful. This same talk has been had with many a power pitcher, and a lot of the time they are uncomfortable with the idea of taking a little off, they're afraid they will become hittable. But this catcher convinced him to try, told him that if he didn't throw quite as hard he'd still be difficult to hit, and the added control would change everything. And so: First six seasons: 36-40, 4.10 ERA, 3.94 FIP, 1.428 WHIP, 7.6 H/9, 1.1 HR/9, 5.3 BB/9 Last six seasons: 129-47, 2.19 ERA, 2.16 FIP, .970 WHIP, 6.5 H/9, 0.6 HR/9, 2.3 BB/9 as As Tony said, the last four years are even more insane. Last 4 seasons: 97-27, 1.86 ERA, 1.97 FIP, .909 WHIP, 6.2 H/9, 0.6 HR/9, 2.0 BB/9

Big Mean Jerk posted:Chapman and Osuna have unfortunately proven that front offices don’t even think twice about taking PR hits for abusive pieces of poo poo so long as they’re still effective on the field. If Bauer stays healthy during the suspension some team will absolutely sign him to some kind of contract when he returns and just put out the usual meaningless lip service press statement to try and convince people they give a poo poo. Some team is going to sign him for 3/60 and sports media will remark on how it's a great deal for a pitcher like him and maybe vaguely refer to a "controversy"

Bauer has gotten far more attention than any of the other players mentioned. No team is going to touch him. The team and league would lose half their sponsors over it. I don't think MLB is being altruistic or anything, I just think this situation is much different (maybe because so many people hated him in the first place).

I don't think there is a player a sports team could sign short of like OJ Simpson who would make them lose half their sponsors. No one cares that much.

It's that and that Bauer cannot shut up and just keep his head down. His suspension is as much about that as it is about the heinous domestic violence, sadly.

I want to be clear that Chapman and German are pieces of poo poo and I've wanted them cut from the Yankees for years but also what Bauer did was an order of magnitude worse than what they did too.

good riddance, he was taking ABs away from younger guys who really could have used them like McNeil, Davis and Smith the Mets are legitimately so fun and exciting right now, can’t wait to see how it all falls apart

Kelenic is frustrating because you can see the power the dude has, and his dingers have insane exit velocity, but he's still not putting it together. He could probably help himself by going 90% and making better contact than swinging away hard every time.
