Peace of mind ... I guess?
-
Tulo is left handed now? You're probably not far off. Pompey if he's not a quadriplegic by then after falling down while walking his dog might get a shot

Vancouver won game 4 by a score of 2-1 to win the NWL Championship last night. Logan Warmoth hit a 2 run single in the 5th to take the lead back and it held from there.

Vancouver won 2-1 last night to take a 2-1 series lead in their NWL best of 5 finals. Pearson threw 4 innings, gave up 1 ER on 3 hits, 2 walks and 4 K, then the pen took over and threw 5 shutout innings on 1 hit, 2 walks and 6 K.

Urena will start him in AAA and he will take over for either Travis or Tulo when they inevitably get hurt. He won't be a starter if both are healthy unless Shatkins can work a miracle and trade Tulo, or they decide to move on and trade Travis. I think the chances of either of those trades is pretty low though. -
21 wins is the record from 1935 Chicago Cubs, Oakland's Moneyball year of 20 straight in 2002 is the modern day record

Vancouver won game 1 of the NWL finals over Eugene. Game 2 tonight

And it's SABER ffs, it's not a goddamned cavalry sword

Too bad you're not displaying much common sense. Blown saves happen to closers at the best if times. A dink hit there, s***** walk there, bad sequencing .... yeah, he's to blame because he's on the mound and throwing the pitches but just looking at a BS number is never the only important stat for a closer. 60 innings he's only given up 3 HR and 9 walks while striking out 76. That's f***ing dominance. I'll take that in the 9th inning any day of the week. Btw, he blew 6 saves last season, so 4 more doesn't make or break a team's fortunes, though having the worst offense and 3rd worst defense in the AL certainly will.
-
Yeah, you could take Acuna plus... like any of 3 or 4 arms from their system and be pretty solid.
-
Acuna /Allard ?
-
Technically they are Co-Champions with the Palm Beach Cardinals because the league final series was cancelled due to the impending hurricane.
-
Barreto maybe in Oakland? Graveman perhaps...but not like he's a stud, just a steady 4/5
-
A very fair point when you consider the KRate of pitchers throughout the history of the game. Cy Youngs k/9 career was 3.43 and his best season was 5.89. So many more balls were being put in play back then. But, the mound was higher then and the fences were 5 miles away.
-
Pretty sure he'll be a deadline trade next year from the way Shatkins talks about him. Very doubtful they trade him in the offseason unless some team backs up the prospect truck, which is in itself, very doubtful
-
Pretty much. Wife got pissed for me cutting holes in the last ones....
-
I guess what I was saying is... an 80 hit tool in 1920 probably doesn't compare to an 80 hit tool today. I think Altuve would be the benchmark hit tool these days
-
Awe come on. I love watermelon and I'm so white I'm practically clear
-
Was Bonds really an 80 hit tool though? And I'm not sure there's really an accurate system for rating players of the past compared to today... skills wise.
-
Complete and utter dreaming, but a future core of Alford, Hernandez, Bichette, Vlad, Tellez, Gurriel and Jansen, with Pearson as a legit front end starter....SRF maybe a lights out closer... I'm getting wood just thinking about it.
-
First ballot... that's for chumps. They'll actually waive the requisite waiting period for HOF eligibility for Vlad JR, just like the NHL did for Gretzky.
-
For what, watermelon eating contest?
-
I think it's absurd to suggest 80 hit 80 power ceiling, when there's nobody that's ever had that combo before. Just be conservative, call it 70/70 and move along.

Hoping you mean DH, not DL. -
Probably depends alot on how they look in spring training next year. Both probably get a ST invite just to taste the big league camp
