Trey, thank you so much bro. I really appreciate and I'm super glad to have you along for the ride. Also, can't wait to see your canucks in the playoffs this year it's gonna be wild

cheers mattix thanks so much! Jets are crushin it this year. What's your team in MLB?

Blue jays😊

cheers thank you!

Cheers thank you! Man I want a panthers lightning playoff matchup so bad

@@justoverthefence2000 Yea they are always a battle. So fun to watch

Then going down the order you have a healthy Rizzo, then Torres, then Verdugo and then Stanton. And even as god awful as Stanton was last year, he still hit 24 tanks and drove in 60 in roughly 60-70% of a season. So him potentially being in the 7 hole could be scary.

Also love just overall hearing these sports news!

Stars are honestly one of the most fun teams to watch this year. Duchene especially has been so fun to watch. Excited to watch their games especially in the playoffs. Thoughts on the tigers this upcoming season?

Umm Tigers have not been doing good but they should have a big jump this year compared to last.

Fellow Tigers fan 😊

No pitching their cooked

Thank you Yasha!!

2 months late ik but it’s called Johnny Hawkey

Fair enough. Correction then: Historically they have often been able to pluck many of the best players from other teams

RBI is Runs Batted In, this applies to when a batter hits the ball (whether for a hit or an out that is not the third of the inning), draws a walk or is hit by a pitch and as a result, a teammate scores a run. In the event the run scores as a result of a fielding error, no RBI is earned. Runs are when you safely cross home plate. Batting average is the pct of times you get a base hit in your At Bats. As an example, if a batter goes 1 for 3 in a game, that day they batted roughly .333. On Base Percentage is similar, but this takes into account the number of times yo safely reach base on a base hit, walk or hit by pitch. So if the same player who went 1 for 3 in his at bats also had drawn 2 walks, that would mean the were on base 3 of their 5 plate appearances for an OBP of .600 (Walks/HBP do not count as an at bat, but as a plate appearance. All at bats are also plate appearances but not all PAs are ABs.) Slugging is more confusing, but the same basic idea. In this stat, the highest total you can have is 4.000 For this stat, a single is worth 1.000, double worth 2.000, triple 3.000 and Home Run 4.000 while any at bat that doesn't result in a base hit is worth 0.000 You then add the totals up and divide by the number of ABs. For example, a player who goes 4 for 5, hitting for the cycle (this is when you get one of each of the four types of base hits in a single game) would have 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 0 / 5 which would give a slugging percentage of 2.000. OPS is simply OBP plus Slugging. So a player with an OBP of 400 and slug of 600 would have an OPS of 1.000 I would go on into some stats for hitting and then pitching, but I have to get to work. There are several sites with some great info on standard statistics and more advanced statistics and metrics. I recommend BaseballReference.com BaseballSavant.com Fangraphs.com All three of these sites have some great information.

Foolish take.

DJ, Rizzo, Verdugo, Soto, Judge, Torres are all better than MLB average to varying degrees. Austin Wells seems like he's likely to be above average offensively for a catcher. When you factor in his stolen bases, Volpe is also an above average offensive player, even with his average where it was, which is almost certainly going to improve. Then there's Dominguez who will return, and he seems like he will be pretty far beyond average. Their lineup is LOADED.

​​@@snerdterguson Rizzo, sure, but he looked terrible after the injury, and we haven't seen him back in action yet. So he's a question mark at this point. I don't agree on DJLM. He had a really good August last season, but overall he's been well below average. Guy is 36 and injury prone as hell. Big question mark. Volpe is a good prospect, but his output was downright pathetic, even with the stolen bases. Can he jump from 0.209 to 0.260? Sure. But he's just as likely at this point to have another garbage year. I'm not saying they're terrible or doubting them. I'm just saying there is huge unpredictablilty about them. They can be the best lineup in the league, but there's also a sizable chance they're going to be Judge-Soto and inshallah.

Unstoppable with the grill and chain

lmao kind of haha

If you think the second place team in the AL East isn't gonna be in the playoffs, you don't really follow the sport.

Also, the Cole opt out is nonsense. It doesn't in any way mean he isn't a Yankee the next year, because the Yankees can exercise their own option to give him a tenth year. On Soto. I will simply give you a question. How many star level players did the Yankees have on their roster over the years, who they wanted to retain and failed to do so?

Nah they’ll just be like 2023 Padres. They’ll eat dirt.

I should make an orioles video they’re gonna be so good this year

I've been watching baseball.since 1987 and I have never seen a team have everything go right for them like it did for Baltimore last year. Even the 98 Yankees had a huge injury to their best offensive player (Bernie Williams). The Os had like no injuries, every one of their young kids was a success story. It is very likely, in fact already playing out with their ST injuries thus far, that the team will not be as blessed this season. One or more of the kids will take a step back in all likelihood. They are still a very good team, but they got incredibly lucky in comparison to their competition which got blown up by injuries everywhere.
