    I chose him just for you!

    Currently looking at fielding a roster of Aaron Wise Zalatoris Gooch Hoffman Pan Pendrith

    I love Taylor, but he doesn't seem to have the arm for 3rd. He'd look really nice at 2nd.

    Lesson of the day: don't buy a Rav 4.
  5. Abomination
    He had a 3.85 xFIP this year and 3.78 last year, more than a strikeout an inning and averages 95 mph. He'll probably get more, not less. He really just needs to cut down on the long ball a little. Actually, I'd be quite happy with us giving him 4/60.
  6. Abomination
    He also had the highest barrel % of his career and the highest exit velocity, just a suppressed BABIP. Almost everything else was in line with his career numbers except the odd uptick in strikeouts. Basically, it appears he was unlucky. It's not really any different than his 2018 season.

    If Fried was a soccer player, he would have been rolling around the entire length of the stadium on that play. The Slo-Mo makes it look 1000x worse too.
  8. Abomination
    Wow! Crazy play.

    Weird Al is a bit hit and miss, but Amish Paradise, It's All About the Pentiums, and The Sega Begins are great! (The music videos for them are pretty good too!)

    I think they'll look to pick up a 3rd baseman. The other guys are incredibly valuable super utility players, but they haven't shown they can be more and we want to win next year. Free agents like Bryant (unlikely), Kyle Seager (actually seems like a possible fit), or a trade for Chapman (not as unlikely as it sounds if Oakland's payroll rumours are true) could all be solutions. I wonder if we could sign both Seagers to play together? One at 2nd and one 3rd.

    What the hell was that Bregman?
  12. Abomination
    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).

    Altuve has been absolutely robbed twice today.
  14. Abomination
    Yeah it definitely would, but it's also the same for both teams.
  15. Abomination
    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.
  16. Abomination
    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.
  17. Abomination
    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.
  18. Abomination
    Man, what a snag by Riley!
  19. Abomination
    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.
  20. Abomination
    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.
  21. Abomination
    Huh. That is actually kind of interesting.

    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.
  24. Abomination
    My picks are as ugly as the player pool was this week
  25. Abomination
    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.
