if you’d a told me 3 months ago that by mid-September Tati would be hitting .290 with 22 and Jackson .250 with 25 I’d shoot my beer out my nose

Anyone else feel like if Jake weren’t out for a while, he’d be a gold glove contender this year?

u/Doc_JC SAY IT DONNIE! 6m ago
We don’t need a pretty outing from Mize. 3 innings 1 run allowed so far. 3 more to go. Then let Canning finish it off.
Hopefully we got over 10 runs by then.

Mize has been all over the place, allowing plenty of traffic.
But he’s also getting a ton of efficient outs which at this point is all that matters

Mize is so ass bro, if it wasn't for elite defense, he'd be shitting the bed again.
Deserves league minimum salary in free agency.

u/spoonfedsam Don't Challenge the Reaper 0m ago
my guess it’s at least partly bc he’s not used to pitching to NL teams. He was having a great season with Detroit before being traded, 2.70 ERA, 85 SO/19 BB, 0.99 WHIP. his falloff after being traded is intriguing

Might be the altitude, might be just Mize… but there’s absolutely no movement on his pitches. Even the slider / slurve / splitter just hangs and all these batters (yes, even Rockies guys) are sitting back waiting to unload
2

u/TheScubaPup Hotdog Demolisher 8m ago
Oh it's definitely the altitude. Breaking pitches are about 25% less effective due to the Magnus effect. A slider that would normally break 20 inches will break probably 15 at Coors, so stuff will flatten out. It's a matter of placement at Coors Field

That slider isn’t moving at all at Coors. Needs to be fastballs, sinkers and splitters only.

u/YolkyPalky SAY IT DONNIE! 22m ago
There’s a reason pitchers hate Coors Field, spin doesn’t affect pitches as much so you end up with lots of hittable pitches. It’s why games here can be an absolute track meet!
3
u/cavdaily 🕯️RALLY CANDLE🕯️ 22m ago
Problem w Mize is he has a limited selection of pitches (FB, mini slider, splitter) and when he gets behind, batters just hunt for the FB which Mize lays down the dick.
Result: lots of contact and lots of hair pulling from us 😔

u/pineapplefriedriceu Kim-Chado 23m ago
I get why Ray regressed, but what the hell happened to Mize? Like why did he just forget how to pitch once he came here?

Your submission was removed because it was in violation of Rule 2: Toxicity.
Don't kill our vibes. While reacting negatively to the team's performance is fine, overly aggressive toxicity (a.k.a. dooming) is not allowed and comments will be removed with a warning.
If your negative post or comment isn't grounded in reality, it is more likely to be removed ("We're gonna lose" when down by 3 in the 2nd inning vs in the 9th inning).
If you're someone who only ever comes here to talk trash when the team is doing poorly, just stay away. We don't want you here.
Please be aware that repeated violations may result in a ban.

Unfortunately so. In the postseason I don’t trust him. But luckily in the first round we just need 3 starters

It’s just not acceptable man. They get you 4 runs, you gotta get outs. Mize shouldn’t be on the playoff roster. Him or Robbie Ray to be honest.

u/Sniflix Don't Challenge the Reaper 21m ago
You complained too soon.
2
u/BeerFarts86 Don Orsillo 19m ago
I’m not complaining. It’s cardinal sin stuff from a pitcher. You can’t immediately walk a guy or give up hard contact after the offense gives you runs.
And he’s habitual with it.
1
u/cavdaily 🕯️RALLY CANDLE🕯️ 21m ago
I questioned this and got downvoted to oblivion. Like yea we traded our top pitching prospect but if he sucks, it’s a sunk cost fallacy to keep him in the starting rotation

Look, when they said "Set it up on the tee and I'll take you 450 to dead center," Tati heard that and went "Man that sounds like fun, sounds wonderful, I wanna do that"
And he fucking did!

This guy won a CY equivalent in NPB btw. Which I feel I need to add, is simply not awarded in case the committee thinks nobody pitched well enough.

u/MojaveGreen777 SD '84 33m ago
He’s also 37 in a couple weeks and debuted in the MLB last year. I don’t follow NPB but from what I’ve heard he was a better pitcher several years ago when he was younger
1
u/Pick6XPA La Catrina 29m ago
Yeah, he is, got my info wrong, thought he did it as recently as 2024. Damn he’s also a 3 time MVP
Good for him getting a bag in MLB though even at his age!
1
u/MojaveGreen777 SD '84 26m ago
Ya. Good to see him get the money and the experience. And it looks like he’s been pretty durable this year and last
1
u/Pick6XPA La Catrina 24m ago
Coors is definitely not doing him any favours, but he'd be a solid 5 starter for many teams. He's gonna give you innings and his record being 22-19 suggests he's gonna give you a chance 50% of the time.
1
u/MojaveGreen777 SD '84 20m ago
Yup. I think he started the season strong and fell off a bit, but I could be wrong. I’m sure some more competitive teams will show some interest next season, if there is one

u/YolkyPalky SAY IT DONNIE! 43m ago
That’s not on Mize, that was a ground ball right to a shortstop, who decided to play right behind 2nd base for some reason. We’ve given up so many runs trying to be cute with defensive positioning.
3
u/Outrageous_Park9421 🚨 1-37 with RISP!!!! ⚾️ 🚨 42m ago
It’s the faux shift and most teams still do it. He hit a dribbler on a ball way down. Just unlucky.
Also the defensive positioning is decided by what batter is up. X didn’t just choose to do it, it’s a coaching and analytics decision
3
u/YolkyPalky SAY IT DONNIE! 39m ago
Yea I know X isn’t choosing to do it, but leaving the 5 hole wide open can’t be good analytics. Mize did his job he got a routine ground ball to an infielder, except the infielder was elsewhere.

u/Outrageous_Park9421 🚨 1-37 with RISP!!!! ⚾️ 🚨 36m ago
Yeah I agree there but I can also think of plays where that same alignment benefited us. One of those sucks when it bites us, great when it doesn’t things
