I think you have to walk Harper here if they get Turner
-
So Gallen couldn't come in on two days rest to throw an inning or two and get the ball to Sewald to try and lock down a pennant? It would have been his throw day anyway, right? Wheeler did it.
-
Imagine walking Christian Pache with the top of the order coming up
-
lol @ the relievers the D'Backs are trotting out there
-
Damn, Phils in tough. I wonder if they ask Sewald to go 2.
-
They're also starting Evan Longoria at 3B, a DH who would be the short side of a platoon with Barndon belt, boring league average players at LF, SS, and CF if Alek Thomas isn't actually bad. Toronto's pitching staff is flat out better. The idea that the Jays are behind Arizona is silly.
-
Wild that Houston is using JP France in game 7 of the ALCS. They need to address their rotation with all the weird underperformances this year.
-
Yeah same. Thought they’d win 85 games or something and miss the playoffs.

Well, there's no problem with those contracts if payroll accommodates them by spending enough to round out the roster. They're running into an issue in 2024, where it looks like payroll won't be high enough to field a contending team around their stars. And it's a weird time to pull back, with so many 30+ year olds at the start of long-term deals. I expected payroll to stay high for a contention window from 2023 to like 2025 or 2026, then pull back when Machado/Bogaerts/Darvish/Musgrove were all dead money.

I'm probably going to ban you if you keep posting the same garbage over and over again.

I wonder how much of that they give back next year if payroll is slashed to 200M. Their payroll in 2024 is at 200M if they run back their current roster, pick up Wacha's option, and don't acquire anyone to replace Snell, Hader, Sanchez, or Lugo. Preller screwed them by failing with the massive payroll, now it seems they're going to take their foot off the gas and will probably lose fan support while doing it. Should have just fired him and maintained payroll.

Real Dusty Baker quote when asked about Chas McCormick earlier this year: “As far as his weight is concerned, if I had something against his weight — and you can ask him — I wouldn’t bring him banana pudding once a week,” Baker said, per Chandler Rome of The Athletic. “I stop by This is It and get him banana pudding … If I was concerned about a guy’s weight, I would not bring a guy banana pudding or maybe I helped continue to that.”

Ownership should have asked basically anyone but Preller to spend their money. It probably would have led to a playoff berth in 2023, they might not be slashing payroll by 25% in 2024 and looking at a non-playoff season. A lot of mistakes that were questioned the moment the ink dried on the deals: - Bogaerts for 11 years when they already had Machado at 3B, Kim at SS, and Cronenworth at 2B. - Why was Jake Cronenworth given an 80M extension a full 3 years before he was going to hit free agency? - Signing a 36-year old Darvish to a 6-year extension before the 2023 season, when he was signed through 2023 already. Next year they'll have Machado, Bogaerts, Cronenworth, Musgrove, and Darvish all in their 30s and at the start of long-term contracts, but won't even be trying to win, assuming the 200M payroll rumour is true. What's the plan?
-
Padres beat reporter wrote the other day about how SD is seriously considering moving Bogaerts to 1B. Not really surprised that Melvin is fed up with Preller's ********.

Blue Jays acquire Daulton Varsho for Moreno and Gurriel
BTS replied to Laika's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Nothing in his post indicated a lack of understanding -
Just saw this on Reddit. Reminds me of the White Sox rotation thw year they won the WS. The Phillies top 3 starters of Wheeler, Nola, and Suarez have combined for 10 starts, 58.2 innings, and an ERA of 1.38. No starter has allowed more than 2 earned in any outing.

Samsonov is struggling
-
This CS round has been insane. I think we get Houston vs. Philly
-
Dusty is going to get crucified for sticking with Verlander into the 6th
-
It warms my heart to see Jose Abreu coming up with big hits in the playoffs.
-
JV using his old man wiles to get out of a spot there
-
Kim Ng declined Boston’s invitation to interview
-
Verlander vs. Montgomery tonight is going to be awesome. JV is going to find a way.

Oh god we’re going to be subjected to 7 months of “Vlad is in the best shape he’s ever been in” reports
