    Well it worked there. I think they made the right call... I know his pitch count was low enough that he could have lasted another inning at least but it was his third time through the order and Tampa has some elite relief arms

    The narratives are strong tonight

    McCullers was at like 80 pitches anyway. The statistically correct move is probably to pull him before the 5th if Urquidy is available... so might as well take no chances and bring in the lefty. At most McCullers is going 5 innings. Not worth any risk to try to milk one more inning out of him in a game 7. And he’s already given up two bombs! Win or die, you empty the pen.

    Adames is a sick defender. I was not completely aware of this before the playoffs.

    I am sad to lose Boxy. It was my fault at the end, I was mean to him. I will be getting drunk tonight to mourn him. Send trade offers in a couple hours
  6. Laika
    Yup

    Wake up! Second wind. Rays game. Let’s make some DDL and LOD deals

    looks like Boxcar is officially done, if anyone was wondering what was going on with his team. BlueRocky (Linc) is the owner.

    Huge day for the sport of baseball

    The narrative will repeat indefinitely though. It doesn't matter how many times a SP gets pulled and the bullpen does their job, or how many times a SP gets left in and blows the game... people are more compelled by veteran starters with bloody socks throwing 7+ innings and 100+ pitches, and for obvious reasons. So we will have to suffer this narrative forever, I think.

    I didn't say he sucks, I said he sucked immediately. Facts.

    I wonder how much they'll get. Relief pitching contracts can be all over the map and the big ones tend to not be good investments. Last year Will Smith got 3/$40M and Pomeranz got 4/$34M, I think those were the two biggest. Smith was a great RP for years and then sucked immediately (AA is the best GM in baseball history tho!!).

    I like this. The vastly inferior team now has a vastly inferior chance of winning today. Luis Garcia is an okay prospect though so there is a chance he just goes off and shuts down a team that has never seen him before. I think his stuff is solid.

    I make too much money to work in baseball, sadly. Golden handcuffs.

    Sorry that you are taking such a beating here but there's no need to call me names. No, it would not change how any baseball executive builds a team.

    Gear switching You literally said "Policy is usually driven by the high earners." The only sensible interpretation of that statement is that the front end starters, through the union, would exert pressure to change policy so they are starting all of the postseason games. I don't think MLB is going to want to create any more inflation on upper tier player salaries, Connor... MLB probably f***ing WANTS teams like Oakland and Tampa to win and be popular. If depth wins flags owners save oodles of money.
  22. Laika
    wat
  23. Laika
    No, I am saying this is not even a line of discussion if either side actually wants this. It's all about negotiated off-days for travel. As an aside, I don't agree with you that the union would give a s*** about some "casual friendly" playoff schedule that limits the amount of union members who get to participate and I don't think the union would have any preference for it.
  24. Laika
    MLB should make the World Series 9 games long. - Way back it was 9 games long so there is historic precedent - It adds games to the playoff slate, which means more TV money and MLB will be happy - The World Series could have a couple of off-days but still require teams to use their depth. The schedule could be three three game sets with two off days. Nine games in 11 days.
  25. Laika
    No gear switching. It's a clear line of discussion. You think the top talent has a say in policy, which is absolutely not true in this instance. You're right that MLBPA will never likely never hop on board with no off-days in the playoffs but it has nothing to do with "devaluing talent" or really any consideration whatsoever relating to the product on the field.
