I have no interest at all keeping Black, we would probably get "el zilcho" for him in a trade but he would be my 1st choice to go. Even if we trade Hoskins after the season is over. We still have Bauers and Ernesto Martinez in Nashville and Andrew Vaughn in Nashville.
The way things look Miz could be lined up to pitch next against the Mets, then the Dodgers, then the All Star break. A little bit more of a test than the lowly Pirates. Hope he keeps it up.
I'm against a Reynolds deal also but...
I said, WAR, huh (good God, y'all)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, just say it again
WAR (whoa), huh (oh Lord)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me.
Nolan Ryan also didn't throw a 1/2 dozen pitches like they do now days, Fastball, Curveball, Changeup was it for him. That's the key to longevity I believe and location, location, location.
With only 16 innings pitched. Most All Star Starters will have 80 + innings pitched already.
If he goes and gets shelled like Josh Hader did in 2018, it could screw him up mentally for a long long time. I hope he doesn't make it personally.
Regarding Jackson Chourio's bat speed:
He is known for his fast bat speed.
His average bat speed in 2024 was a robust 73.2 mph, and it increased slightly to 74.1 mph since the start of May in the current season (2025).
