Taking another look, you are right. He's outside the top 10.

Depends on where you look. Baseball reference uses 1000 simulations and has Toronto with 0.2% chance of winning the division.

Worried this week will bury my playoff chances

Orelvis' issues are probably between the ears. Coaching can only do so much for it.

I didn't say he's a top 10 reliever. I said he's a top 10 closer.

Even in a down year, Romano is solidly a top 10 closer. Some of you reacting to last night's game?

Yankees for me. M's getting J-Rod back probably Wednesday, Haniger back as of 2 games ago. Strong pitching (Munoz has become an absolute beast) - they are definitely a team to worry about.

Yep, the bust risk is high right now But 30% K rate and .231 BABIP. Tone down his aggressiveness (55% swing rate) with a normal BABIP and the wRC+ gets into the 130 range. The aggressiveness and low BABIP suggests weak contact on pitches out of the zone

WAR is a flawed measure for relievers, especially closers. Romano is tied with Iglesias and ahead of Hader, among other elite relievers, in terms of WAR.

Just 2 Blue Jays: Gabriel Moreno Blue JaysC Notes: Tools: Hit: 70 | Power: 50 | Run: 40 | Fielding: 55 | Arm: 60 Skinny: Moreno has the potential to be a plus-plus hitter, which has been evident in Triple-A. His natural hitting gifts and plus defense behind the plate make him a potential all-star even with questions about his power. Ricky Tiedemann Blue JaysLHP Notes: Tools: Fastball: 60 | Changeup: 70 | Slider: 55 | Control: 50 Skinny: One of the minor leagues' biggest breakouts on the pitching side, Tiedemann has shot through three levels to reach Double-A in his first professional season. He’s continued to impress with a three-pitch mix composed of above-average or better pitches.

Key to the Soto deal: James Wood NationalsOF Notes: Tools: Hit: 45 | Power: 65 | Speed: 55 | Fielding: 50 | Arm: 50. Skinny: A giant slugger with the ability to impact the game in a variety of ways, Wood is more than an oddity as a 6-foot-7 slugger with advanced plate discipline and more bat-to-ball skills than his huge limbs would portend. His combination of plus power and feel to hit in a power forward’s body make Wood one of the most exciting prospects in the minor leagues.

Jackson Chourio Brewers OF Notes: Tools: Hit: 55 | Power: 60 | Run: 70 | Fielding: 60 | Arm: 50 Skinny: The 18-year-old Venezuelan has been the breakout player of the minors, reaching High-A Wisconsin at an age when his peers are still in the Rookie-level complex leagues. With advanced hitting ability, explosive power, plus-plus speed and highlight-reel defense in center field, he has the tools to be a future superstar.

No he would have beaten the tag, easily

Preller is desperate. He knows the age profile of his starting pitching..... window is getting shorter. I can see Preller getting canned and Soto traded as a rental in 2024.

Can't block the plate until have possession of the ball. If the ball flight is into the runner's path that doesn't allow a catcher to set up in front of the plate to receive it. Its a bad throw, like a 1B throwing into the runner going to 2B. The rule says nothing about the path of the throw.

Padres 5 SP all over 30 next season, all with injury history - and little depth. Darvish will turn 37 a year from now. They effectively have until end of 2024 when Soto hits free agency to win. I expect it all to end badly.

A lot of articles discussed the increased risk associated with being overweight. You go ahead and trust your gut, I'll follow expert advice.

For things I am not educated / trained in, I don't make guesses. Guesses are OK if it relates to something one has education / expertise in, then its an educated guess, and should only be done if the consequences of a wrong guess are negligible. The 10-20% value I posted the other day, that's based on reading I have done. Because my 11 yr old has had trouble with sleeping since getting COVID last December.

Because that's what your gut tells you

Pop it back in place, 3 days rest

non pitching arm

Holy f*** your pitching IL list

You are disappointed Frasso was traded. You gonna hold a grudge against Mitch White for it?

Yep suffocating to death on a hospital bed is no fun Baseball related content: 5.1 IP, 4H, 3BB, 3ER, 6K
