    Dumb comment, he's obviously saying to use the extra unused Semien money to improve the team in other ways. I do think all 3 of those things happening is unlikely though.
  2. Stangstag
    My worry with Semien is that we end up with another 2017 scenario by 2026 where we’re paying Springer + Semien 50 million for replacement level production. Plus paying Vlad 30 mil and possibly other guys. Doesn’t leave much payroll flexibility. That’s worst case scenario IMO, but always in the back of my mind. Players normally just decline through their 30s and there’s nothing you can do. Though I suppose you could argue any long-term contract is risky.
  3. Stangstag
    I’d do that for Ray. Semien unfortunately I think we should let go. Career year, he’s the wrong side of 30, and we have quite a few infielders coming up through the minors. Offense is still very good without him. It would also allow Biggio to go back to 2B (or we could make a run at someone like J Ram). I feel we also need to be wary of signing any more guys over 30 to long term 100+ million dollar deals. I’d rather invest extra money into pitching. If we need a 3B/2B maybe look at a stopgap type option.

    Lol

    Im pretty sure he pours water over his head before he takes the mound
  6. Stangstag
    If you remove the minimum innings pitched he’s #35 If you say one thing for Berrios, he seems to stay healthy. And that keeps his WAR total fairly high.
  7. Stangstag
    Yup. He wouldn’t be an ace on any of the 30 teams. Still a good/great pitcher though. He’s more of a Buehrle type workhorse guy. Hopefully he pulls it together, his last 2 starts have been awful.
  8. Stangstag
    Yes, I guess there is a different rule for balls vs other equipment because I know i’ve seen people forced to give bats back.
  9. Stangstag
    We will, after we win the World Series with our new manager
  10. Stangstag
    Why would you think that? Machado maybe, but Tatis seems like a good dude
  11. Stangstag
    Huh, interesting. If he were to have TJs I think he’d be ready for opening next season. Isn’t the recovery time only a few months for non-pitchers??
  12. Stangstag
    I’m quite certain that the fine print of your ticket purchase says that security can force you to give the ball back anyways since technically it isn’t your property. So the right move IMO would be to ask for a signed jersey/meet and greet which is normally seen as acceptable from all parties. Your only chance of keeping the ball would be to catch it and then run away basically. Hide somewhere and leave through the nearest gate before you’re caught.
  13. Stangstag
    I was at the game the day before in the 100 lvl outfield seats and I was thinking about what I would do if I somehow caught his 500th.... i'd probably settle for meeting Miggy and getting a signed jersey from him.
  14. Stangstag
    That contract is looking real bad. Obviously Lindor will be better than he has been, but im not sure he ever gets back to being more than a 115wRC+ type bat. Normally you don’t wanna pay guys like that 30 million a year for 10 years lol. Steve Cohen needs to realize he knows f*** all about baseball and he needs to let the team execs make decisions
  15. Stangstag
    You’re also missing the fact that we can give them both the QO and that gives us major leverage to re-sign them. Also you said “if Ray liked his time in Toronto”... bro by that point Ray had never even played (or lived) in Toronto. Same with Semien.
  16. Stangstag
    We’re also not the Yankees where every little kid always dreams of playing there. Its just not the same at all.
  17. Stangstag
    “No such thing as luck” yadayada
  18. Stangstag
    Brutal blown save and loss by Oakland
  19. Stangstag
    Jesus
  20. Stangstag
    The fact that we didn’t trade Semien and Ray and we can offer them the QO means we have a massive leg up on re-signing either of them. If we had traded them its more like a 0% chance they re-sign. I’d say there’s a very good chance we sign Ray to a new deal. Semien maybe
  21. Stangstag
    Richards has been fairly good too. Those 4 arms should be enough but Charlie will still find ways to bring Brad Hand into a tie game.
  22. Stangstag
    Well we kinda did too
  23. Stangstag
    Yeah lol i’m pretty sure he tried to throw out Odor at 1st and that’s when he f***ed his shoulder. His arm robounded the next year though from what I remember
  24. Stangstag
    Extremely frustrating season. Obviously you don’t expect Vlad to be this good next year, and its uncertain if Semien and/or Ray will be back. We’ve also had pretty great health from the starting rotation (minus Pearson if that even counts) and really Springer is the only impact position player that went down for an extended period of time. Bullpen injuries were pretty bad but expecting Merryweather and Yates to stay healthy was a huge gamble. Injuries can always derail a season but the good teams don’t use it as an excuse and power through it. Its gonna be tough to come out ahead next year even with an improved bullpen.
  25. Stangstag
    Oh god I forgot about this one
