  1. Not surprised. They definitely looked like they knew what was coming.
  2. My SP curse appears alive and well. THROW f***ING STRIKES Flaherty!
  3. I wouldn't mind seeing us take a flyer and claim AJ Reed, especially if we're going to deal Smoak at the deadline.
  4. We really need someone else as our replay guy.
  5. Price got away with one, and you could see he knew it too.
  6. Having the same pitchers as me should scare the crap out of you.
  7. I'm going to be interested in how Bauer does today after losing his friend (Skaggs) yesterday. I wanted to take him, but decided the unknown factors were too big a risk (I have the lineup in another contest too).

  9. I'm choosing to decline compensation. I think the rule is good to have in place, but is intended more to guard against something that will dramatically alter a fantasy franchise.
  10. That really sucks. Not that it's good timing to mention, but the Angels could really, REALLY use someone like Stroman now, especially only being 4.5 back in the wildcard.
  11. I just saw that. Not a message I expected or wanted to see on my phone. Today's Angels game has been postponed btw (obviously).
  12. It was very heavily backloaded.
  13. BR says he's signed from 2020-2022 at 22.5M / year, with a 1M buyout for 2023. I wasn't including what was left for this year, so it would actually be more than 68M unless they have the contract reported wrong.
  14. I don't have him on ignore, but I usually don't bother trying to decipher his posts either. It's just not worth the effort. If I want something to exercise my brain, I'll go to somewhere like Project Euler or something. https://projecteuler.net
  15. Stroman's WAR is higher. However, Giles is the one that deserves to be there. Before everyone rants and raves though, it's possible his arm is still not 100% and he may not have been available anyway.
  16. Meh, I'd rather them baby him a little if that's what their high performance department or other analysis is telling them is best, rather than bow to public pressure.
  17. No clue whether he'll stay up. The numbers in the minors this year are stellar. He only threw ~80 innings last year and is already up to 70 this year, so it's entirely possible he could be on some kind of innings limit (either shutting him down, or moving him to the pen in the near future).
  18. Pitches with a lot of movement always seem to have more trouble throwing strikes (which makes sense). It's definitely at least part of his problem imo.
  19. That's why I want to see him reduce the movement on the fastball. Get people off it via the splitter rather than extreme movement.
  20. How not to bunt - brought to you by Luke Maile. edited: much better that attempt.
  21. I'd like to see him move to a 4-seamer, curve, and splitter. I think that combo, with his velocity, would be quite effective.
  22. Pillar has put up a 65 wRC+ with negative fielding this year. He's basically Ryan Goins.
  23. The movement is pretty similar. He's getting slightly less sink, but I suspect that has more to do with control (getting the ball up too much) rather than anything else. The only pitch that really shows a noticeable difference is his curve, which is sharper than it has been in the past (I'm not sure if that's a good thing given his control). He really just needs to find a way to get his control back to slightly below average without getting blisters. I kind of think a move to the pen might be worse for his finger. It might be time to abandon the sinker.
  24. I guess it depends where you are in the standings. If you expect to be easily into the playoffs, you might want to hold onto him. If you're scratching and clawing your way in, having a healthy body for the next two months might be more important. I'm obviously assuming this is a redraft, btw.
