    Has there ever been a league MVP who's looked so bad the following season?

    So there has been some chatter about Smith struggling a bit behind the dish and man I have to say that I am starting to see it. It's not the blocking, but his framing (which he has received high marks for in the past) is pretty mediocre. He jabs at a lot of pitches that are in the zone and costs the pitchers a decent bit of strikes.

    im pretty convinced we needa go with 3 catchers in the playoffs, so we can start Barnes and DH Smith some days., especially and easily against lefty starters

    You could certainly argue that based on age, health and just how much of a step back it has been compared to last year, this is the worst follow up campaign to an MVP season is history.

    Definitely see it having to do with the playoffs and needing him to get used to pen work, but also May has faced the Padres a lot in a short time in the big leagues. Wonder with all his recent contact issues, if they want to see if they may be able to mess with a teams gameplan when bringing him in this way.

    I wonder how Graterol would be as a starter. Still only has 2 pitches, but wonder if he could

    I can't say this enough, I hate Manny Machado and I'd love to see him wear a May fastball to the face

    Feel like for him to be a starter, he is going to have to incorporate his lower half more. I can see why scouts felt his chances at starting were slim. That is a great amount of stress on your upper half. He has totally ditched the change which was "ehh", but some thought it had potential. With the way they have used him this year, have to believe his chances of being lengthened out are little to none at this point.

    i actually love him as an opener though. I like him with clean innings, and he’s efficient with his pitches, and you can go 1-2 with him to start out your game with a bang

    No idea why Machado did not try to turn two. Turner is walking around the bases right now and Cronenworth coulda jogged the ball from 2B.
