Actually, studies show players coming off TJ show no diff at all in velocity, and actually have increased results:

I shouldn't have to teach dipshits how to use Google.

I shouldn't have to teach middle-aged dipshits how to read.

Duffy's velocity in 2017 on his fastball was 92.8. This year it is 93.1. Both years were well after TJ. The post wasn't about TJ improving velocity before and after but indicating that velocity drop is an indicator of UCL damage, or maybe you missed the 10mph drop that Ohtani had Sunday night....right after he blew out his elbow.

I never said Duffy's elbow was "shot" and I didn't mention velocity so I don't know what we're even arguing.

....

You literally bumped this prediction today.

So, what's your point? Is it about his elbow? His velocity shows no indication of UCL damage.

Generally, when people make claims, they offer support for their evidence. You say the problem is his elbow. You offer no support that indicates his elbow is the problem. Then, you misread one of my posts (because you're an imbecile), and now you're claiming that you didn't say anything about his elbow being a problem. That about cover it?

If you're going to argue with people, I'd suggest you learn how to read better and lie less. You'll make an ass out of yourself far less often.

So we have a pitching fWAR of 3.1 (this moved up from last month when it was 2.6). That means we are basically a team of AAAA pitchers. Trevor Oaks-Skoglund types. This means our pitching has been so shitty, we would only be a 68-94 team with a league average offense.



Or: of the 2,512 seasons in MLB history, we are 19th worst. (Our 2006 team was 3rd worst). This puts us in the 99.3% percentile. For those of you who've heard of "Six Sigma", that's 99.7%.



We are the Six Sigma staff.

Drug abuse issues?

Pratto goes 2-3 with a HR, 1 BB followed by a strong outing by Kowar in the playoffs. 5 ip, 1 ER

Do we think the org told him to work on his hit tool most of the early part of the year (which lead to a lower walk rate & swinging at more difficult pitches to see what he can handle), and now that it's playoffs told him to unleash?

Can’t embed but did everyone see this?

Drug abuse?

I think he is referring to the DWI.

Six Sigma is actually 99.99966%.

You're right. It's 3-sigma. Ain't nearly enough data points to ever get to 6-sigma calculations.

Has anyone been following the CRAZY story about how one Tigers announcer almost choked out the other in the booth?!

There were times in 2012 where Ryan seemed close to doing that to Hud lol.

Devastating blow for the White Sox tonight. Their ace pitching prospect Michael Kopech needs Tommy John. He is going to be out all of next year and will return in 2020. He was considered one of the top prospects in all of baseball, throws 100 mph and had just been called up to the White Sox.

There have been whispers around town that he has substance abuse issues. The BK epsiode being the most notable. Besides that he now has a lengthy durability issue and with the team in the red and going nowhere the next 3 years it wouldnt be shocking if they move on. Should have done it while he had value but whatever.
