Average throwing stepped does not include non-contesting throws such as tosses into the infield from after routine single. They separate out only to top x throws that have a play attached to them, and are calculated for a player only after an established minimum number of contestable throws for the position. Baddoo is still below average. Be that as it may, to your point, Baddoo is also inconsistent and inaccurate, which we both agree to be true by applying the subjective, anecdotal eye test. Also, for what it’s worth, Statcast also says Baddoo has a bad jump and the routes he takes are also below average.

Baddoo’s average throwing speed is 84.7, which ranks 29th of 40 qualifying left fielders and sits comfortably below the big league average of 87.3.

Sure it could happen, but there is no way any amount of biomechanics gurury is going to hike TORK!’s 74mph average throw up to the MLB average of 85mph for third basemen. Anyhow, was it you who came on board with me a week or so ago when I hypothesized that the Drivelining of pitching might be a key reason pitcher injuries have rocketed skyward? If infielders start doing those kinds of drills as well, we might see a rash of TJs among them, too.

It would be nice, but TORK!'s arm is way too weak for third. Heck, it's among the weakest of those at first, and they practically don't need an arm at all.

I'm not complaining about the job Harris is doing so far, and I am definitely giving him a lot of rope, at least a couple years worth, in which he has to demonstrate some level of incompetence before I do start seriously complaining. I don't expect to see that—I'm just setting my personal benchmark for that kind of response. That said, within a limited sense, I'm with you. So far it's been a lot of meh waiver pickups coupled with tenders and non-tenders everyone expected even during the season. Nothing on the roster front has surprised or delighted me just yet. In fact I'm a bit disappointed by the Cisnero tender, based on his advanced age, steadily declining strikeout rate, and sieve-like walk rate. OMMV.

There is that, too. People who like the fascism without the histrionic personality.

The only decent thing Sarah Palin has done, and the best part is, she couldn’t push back even though the joke was on her.

Not Maggie’s Farm? That’s a big favorite of mine. I think his voice is a perfect match for the style.

Are torrents still a thing, even?

That’s fine, go ahead and investigate and tighten up that pipeline, but Ukraine have to beat Russia, and we have to keep helping them.

Trump knows he’s going to stay out of prison. I think he’s running for the money and the fascism.

If you like Gregory Soto, you’ll love Alex Reyes.

Jose Cisnero? Huh.

Much dancing in the Motownforums aisles tonight.

Good news for many here: he’s good as gone.

I gotta believe if the Dodgers can’t fix him, he’s probably unfixable. Pass.

Only if they used the money elsewhere and didn't pocket the cash instead, which I would guess is more likely.

The Big City is lagging behind, at least where I go grocery shopping. Prices didn't seem to move up so much this spring and summer while everyone else was complaining about inflation, but in the last two months or so they seem to have really leapt up on CPG. OTOH, Meat and produce prices always wax and wane due to availability. I just got asparagus for 99¢ a pound and Starbucks packaged coffee for $5.99 on sale, down from $11.79. (I cleaned them out!)

I'm pretty sure 37 is part of the joke ...

It's starting to land with me that indicting Trump would be doing the rest of the Republican Party a huge favor. That way they don't have to be the bad guys kicking Trump out—they can hold their hands up to the base and say, hey guys, we don't want this either, but it's the Deep State and they have all the cops, so what can we do? The only wild card is whether they can herd those Trumpiest of red hats into DeSantis's corral.

If Garland wants to convict Trump, he has to have enough evidence in hand before he indicts. It's probably why Garland didn't indict Trump the day he was appointed. Had he done so and lost because his case wasn't buttoned down, it would probably go down as the biggest swing-and-miss in Justice history.

Looks like the Tigers are all in on the soft-tossing, low-strikeout, hard-hit, run-yielding Tyler Alexander Experience! But hey, we got him kinda sorta cheap. 😁

Longoria has not produced what Candelario is projected to produce since 2017.

Two things about that spot: They should have washed out the color on the Trump clip, if not made it in black and white. There is a danger that this very spot will motivate Republican voters because their still hero appears in it looking like a normal politician.
