Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 22/01/2026That’s a pretty strong top-four in the Rangers’ starting rotation, if healthy. 010

Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 05/11/2025I think whoever takes over the Rockies' front office (any takers?), they won't have to immediately worry about a lack of velocity to utilize, to mold. But they have to find a way to generate strikeouts even to consider any modest improvement, plain and simple. 010
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 06/10/2025I am curious to see what Chaim Bloom does for the Cardinals in terms of pitching development in the coming years. The organization has lagged in various respects dating back to 2021. 100
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 13/09/2025Sandy Alcantara in his last six starts 📈 - 40 IP - 11 ER - 7 BB (3.9% BB%) - 41 K (26.6% K%) - 28.4% Whiff% - 98.1 mph avg. 4-SM velocity - 2.48 ERA - 2.99 FIP 000
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 02/09/2025Before his TJ in 2023, Luis Garcia upped his cutter usage to 43.2%, with a 41.9% whiff rate. It was nice seeing that pitch in his return to ML action. 000
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 26/07/202511 inches of horizontal break with 23 inches of drop on this Mike Burrow’s changeup. That’ll play. 000
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 25/07/2025103 mph at the letters? Yeah, no one is ever catching up to that. 000
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 21/06/2025All future Jacob Misiorowski starts are now in must-watch territory. 000
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 21/06/2025Is this 96 mph slider from Jacob Misiorowski one of my favorite pitches of the year so far? Yes, it is. 000
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 15/05/2025Hunter Brown vs. Jacob deGrom. That’s in must watch territory this evening. 000

Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 08/04/2025Loved MacKenzie Gore’s curveball to strike out Tommy Edman looking. 56 inches of vertical break right on the outside corner. A gnarly pitch. 000

Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 06/04/2025Also, how about the Giants starting the season 7-1... 000
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 06/04/2025How about 36 inches of drop to go with 11 inches of glove side horizontal break from Ryan Walker's slider to strike out Luke Raley. 000
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 06/04/2025That changeup from Hayden Birdsong just now to strike out Julio Rodríguez was so good. Mercy. 010

Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 31/03/2025It was really cool to see Germán Márquez back on the mound again (only his 6th start dating back to 2023). 000
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 27/03/2025MacKenzie Gore, 20 whiffs on 50 swings. That'll work. 020
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Ugh. As with almost everyone else, Weathers was on my list of pitchers to watch closely to start the season. 000
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 18/03/2025I laughed out loud at first, but then I looked at Corbin's splits from last season... 2024 1st half (105 IP): 15.9% K%, 7.8% BB%, 4.72 FIP, 4.47 xFIP 2024 2nd half (69 2/3 IP): 21.6% K%, 5.9% BB%, 3.96 FIP, 3.63 xFIP Yeah, he's probably worth a flyer considering the Rangers' needs at the moment. 000
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 17/03/2025Griffin Canning, 16 strikeouts in 10 innings. Only Spring Training, yes, but he's got my attention. This is also why I desperately want someone to trade for Reid Detmers. 000
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 01/03/2025I’d be curious to see what a more forward thinking organization can do for Justin Lawerence. 000
Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Sandy Alcantara is back and that’s great for baseball. And 99 mph to boot. 000

Cody Poage @cpoage9.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Fernando Cruz is 34 and hasn’t had much success, but that splitter (38.1 inch vertical drop, 59.3% Whiff%) can certainly play. Just watch him succeed with the Yankees now. 000
