  1. I refuse to read to read the news this offseason
  2. Judge 1-7 with 2 walks Soto 3-8 with 1 walk but no RBI or R Cole, one bad start love it go Royals!
  3. Really no role for him whatsoever in a 5 game series If they make the next round maybe he slides in instead of... Duke Ellis? who is Duke Ellis? I hate the off days in the playoffs. Yankees go: 10/5 - game 1 10/6 - OFF 10/7 - game 2 10/8 - OFF 10/9 - game 3 10/10 - game 4 10/11 - OFF 10/12 - game 5 why the f*** do they get three off days in a five game series lmao is this even baseball?
  4. yeah that's weird he was good for Seattle!
  5. Daniel Norris lived in a van! It should have been obvious!
  6. That Profar catch was hilarious Jazz was 100% out at 2nd base in game 1 btw, Yankees should not be up 1-0 that was total garbage
  7. way too much typing happening about a mediocre result on a free agent signing Springer still does enough things well and at the end of the year I think the projection systems still liked him as a 2.3 WAR player going forward So it's not like these final two seasons even have a "bad" outlook all things considered it's just contextual disappointment that he didn't perform/produce in 2024 and 2023 as hoped. It might end up as one of those weird FA deals where the player is just okay the whole time, rather than really good on the front end and useless in the final years.
  8. This is pretty funny. IIRC the Braves took on almost exactly $25M in payroll commitments in order to acquire Kelenic. Horrible deal lol Maybe they win a playoff game if they never take that stinker
  9. Right side is stacked. Those are some sweet series. Left side is pretty crusty. Nobody wants a KC/DET ALCS lmao.
  10. AJP has already done it once or twice It's like his best skill
  11. It's possible but not likely. $55M or so to spend. Pay for one star bat. Pay less for another okay bat that performs like a good bat. (i.e. make a great signing) Pay for some backend RP help. Piece together the rest of the pen with analytics hurrrr durrrr Hope the SP stay healthy again lol Hope Bo bounces back and is that 2nd or 3rd star in the lineup Hope a couple of the glut of 2H/LF/DH types at the back of the roster develop well and are everyday players
  12. This is why a Vlad deal only makes sense if the AAV is at least close to his current final arbitration projection. Vlad for $30M or a bit more, fine. The upside is there in any given year so it makes sense to pay for the MVP potential. Vlad for more like $40M, insanity. The going rate for a good hitter on a pillow contract is around $20M, and that's if they are younger and interesting like Hoskins/Bellinger, the older guys are more like $12M or $14M, so like you said in any given year you could just get two of them. Or say, Joc Pederson + Lourdes Gurriel + Jack Flaherty (veteran on a 1 year deal, position player on a shorter term deal, and your favourite prove it SP or RP).
  13. Caleb Joseph had some good insight on this after the game on Sportsnet I think Alonso was just sitting changeup the whole PA and ended up getting a cookie of one in a 3-1 count
  14. what was going on with Winker there it looked like he messed up his head or neck, but there was no collision then it just looked like he threw his back out from how he was walking around smashes his helmet lmao
  15. Yeah didn't he get cancer and retire?
  16. Not in BORED but my BBDL team, it's inevitable. Pretty stacked from a long term perspective just need to tighten up the roster to win now.
  17. No DDL or LOD titles? woof.
  18. Luck is part of baseball? Since when!?
  19. But yeah the honeymoon phase is now squarely over for the Orioles. They are still in a great spot long term because of their enviable core of Henderson-Rutschman-Cowser-Westburg but they blew it this year. I mean they traded for Trevor Rogers at the deadline, lol, then demoted him and didn't win a playoff game. And DFA'd their big FA reliever signing before the playoffs. lmaooooooooooooo shitbirds.
  20. You never know with catcher defense, right? Like, Gary Sanchez is still catching a bit in 2024. Who ever thought a player shaped like Kirk would be a plus defender? I don't really trust scouts much when it comes to minor league defensive projections.
  21. Brewers did just as much and with less resources. More impressive. Being said, Preller had a good year. Gutsy calls with the Soto deal, giving Merrill CF from day one.
  22. This doesn't give Judge and Soto enough credit though Like, the heart of the Yankees order isn't just better than the Tigers or Royals it's.... orders of magnitude better
  23. cmon andrew ibanez
