  1. What the hell was that Bregman?
  2. Probably more realistic would be something like 1. Sign Kyle Seager 2. Sign Jon Gray 3. Sign Andrew Heaney or Carlos Rodon 4. Resign Kirby Yates 5. Sign Collin McHugh 6. Sign Michael Lorenzen It's not perfect (would certainly love someone like Scherzer), but I think it would be a good team without signing any painful long-term contracts. If we needed an ace later (in addition to Berrios and hopefully Manoah), we could possibly trade for one at the deadline. Cavan and Seager add some lefties to the lineup, and Espinal looks like a perfect super utility guy. We'd have a pen full of guys that Mr. Bongos couldn't even screw up (since there'd basically be no wrong choice).
  3. Altuve has been absolutely robbed twice today.
  4. Yeah it definitely would, but it's also the same for both teams.
  5. We don't have the payroll to leave WAR on the table, or take up a valuable roster spot with someone making a negative contribution to it. Albert has now gone 5 straight years where he's produced at below replacement level.
  6. I don't think so, at least not for the average reliever. The playoffs have a lot more off-days built in. The pen use is sustainable over a short period, but I think you'd break the pen if you did it over the course of a season. It's actually one of the reasons I think they should eliminate off-days during the series. 7 potential games in 7 days.
  7. Arbitrary in predetermining a situation based on something like batters faced. A player's individual performance is not taken into account in that scenario. For example, a pitcher can vary by several MPH in their velocity (or vary in other things such as spin rate) given how they're feeling or how the weather changes a given day. I somewhat get it. I mean, many managers probably don't have the ability to deal with anything more than absolutes during a game. This is really the same thing as a manager bringing in any lefty to face a lefty just because they're a lefty.
  8. Man, what a snag by Riley!
  9. Sure. He'd just start 3 games a week and go one inning a start. I don't think you can easily make a rule to regulate it. Losing the DH actually makes some good sense without doing anything too groundbreaking to the game.
  10. Yes, but they're also upgrading their hitting at the same time in the NL (in almost every case at least). Losing the DH would do the opposite. As for times through the order, you also have to factor in whether the guy you're bringing in is going to be more effective than the pitcher that's being replaced. Making these hard rules and arbitrary cutoffs is a gross misapplication of statistics.
  11. Huh. That is actually kind of interesting.
  12. Team -> My Notification Settings
  13. Peta doesn't seem to usually care about insects. They mostly care about anything that's remotely cute and cuddly. Their donations must be down again. I still remember them complaining about people killing wildlife in WOW.
  14. My picks are as ugly as the player pool was this week
  15. There's a few articles about it, that they need to reduce payroll next year and are currently at a spot where it would further increase. Who knows how much is speculation and how much is leaked by people who actually know. Melvin was making a decent amount, so at least some of it fits. It's probably less damaging to cut his salary than a player.
  16. It sounds like a very large fire sale.
  17. Steph Curry has now gone 3 straight 4th quarters without scoring
  18. I doubt it'll matter. The owners will want the players to take a cut due to decreased revenue and higher operating costs, and the players will want an increased share rather than a cut. If Manfred or Clark cave, they're probably looking for a new job since both sides are going to be dead set against the opposite viewpoint.
  19. Thanks for a great year Marcus! You'll be missed.
  20. Ugh, this week is a nightmare. Bezuidenhout, Bramlett, Watney, Smalley, Hodges, NeSmith is my tentative lineup, probably subject to change.
  21. That would have made things interesting.
  22. Not so sure. On the rear view you could see the ball exiting the glove behind his hand. He didn't lose a grip on the ball on the transfer, his hand never touched it to begin the transfer.
  23. What the hell are the Braves doing out there?
  24. Anunoby with some great plays on both sides of the ball. 5 steals at half time!
  25. Go back and check the settings for previous seasons in Yahoo. We originally had 3 in 2013, then changed it to 2 for 2014 onward.
