Adrian Houser allegedly threw a 99.2 MPH sinker today, which would be 1.6 MPH harder than his second hardest pitch today and 1.3 MPH harder than the hardest sinker he'd previously thrown on record. It's probably a hot read; the Giants have had higher velo at home than on the road this Spring.
The more I watch Dybantsa the more I'm less convinced by him, while the more I watch Boozer the more I become convinced
Man, Boozer has just consistently looked like That Guy
Opening Day roster prediction v2
well that’s bad
It’s not about how good Jones is, it’s about how much time Purdy would have to miss in order for Jones’ presence over the field to add even +1 win vs expected.
I probably lowballed it but regardless they’re in bad shape no matter what if Purdy gets hurt. Zach Wilson throwing checkdowns inside the hashes vs Mac Jones throwing checkdowns inside the hashes is not a meaningfully worse trade and you’re netting a draft pick.
Then you’re arguing about words not about the roster building value.
If you ignore the players that have signed and are at the bottom of your screenshot, yeah
Capable backups just aren’t valuable to carry. Mid-20s QBs who will sign for the minimum aren’t hard to find and you’re sacrificing resources and depth elsewhere by continuing to carry him rather than cash in on the trade value now.
Yeah that’s a ludicrous ask for Mac. I’d be thrilled if they got a 5th
So the 49ers have Mac Jones and maybe/unlikely Brandon Aiyuk as “trade for draft pick(s)” coupons? And they’ll probably end up trading neither? Cool cool
And I don’t know if he’s a piece of the future. Coming out of college I doubted he could shoot and he has yet to show he can. But putting Killian Hayes on 10-day contracts above him in the rotation is just weird. Unless they already made a decision on him, which I’m not discounting.
Devin Carter was a first half DNP then scored 24 in the second half to swing the game. The Kings are doing themselves a disservice by not giving him 30 mins down the stretch. Bc the way they’ve handled him, it’s far from guaranteed that they pick up his 4th year option this offseason.
(Half-joking) if SGA is really the MVP he should respond with 85
83
Unreal
Let Bam go for 81
And he's got an 86 MPH sweeper 👀
There we go. With Sanmartin headed for the 60-day IL and Miller/Hentges not being sure bets for Opening Day, they needed the LHP depth. Lucchesi was a pretty good lefty specialist last year.
Reiver Sanmartin was diagnosed with a high grade strain of his right hip flexor and is expected to miss up to three months.
Drew Gilbert (left shoulder impingement) has resumed his throwing program and has been cleared to DH in games. Erik Miller (back tightness) will throw live BP tomorrow.
Extremely. Ramos always had the underlying data and it was a matter of things clicking. Matos' one positive tool (contact ability) has translated to a .231 BA and .240 xBA in 593 MLB PA
It's going to be really cool when they don't start the season with Eldridge because waiting out the initial wave of DFAs maximizes the number of potential suitors for Matos, all of which will probably offer some a college-aged A-ball reliever
Not to mention the parks being pretty hitter friendly, or that his quality of opponent at this point of the Spring has been AA-AAA...
So yes, it's good to see him hitting, but no I don't think it should have any impact on whether or not he makes the OD roster.
Spring Training performance is never *bad* but it's also important to remember what kind of environment we're talking about here. For example...
Luis Matos '25 MLB reg szn vs '26 Spring
In-zone%: 49.1% ➡️ 59.3%
Fastball%: 51.3% ➡️ 62.6%
BA's first mock has four shortstops going at the top with the Giants grabbing Jacob Lombard, one of the HS bats

In a game where Westbrook is the only vet playing, the Kings still manage to only find 6 minutes for their lottery pick that might not get his 4th year club option picked up this summer
other RHP SW*
Here's Tidwell's MLB SW comp'd to the other MLB sweepers (min 50 thrown) that were sub-avg in both VAA/HAA.
Most of the other group are guys with low release points who throw their SW hard. Tidwell is in closer company to Pérez/Montas, whose SW were lower usage in larger arsenals & performed poorly
