  1. I've been making tons of mock deadline deals where we're buyers. The trades I am coming up with are impeccable. If I could somehow get them to Ross he'd probably hire me on the spot. The only problem is that most of the teams I'd want to trade with are actually ahead of us in the standings.
  2. Series W followed by an off day to get the bullpen some rest and then a Dylan Cease start Is the season back on? Some people are saying it is.
  3. There was a very brief but fleeting moment last night where I thought that Brendon Little might have saved our season
  4. Statistically speaking, his worst inning by far is the 7th though. But he also stinks in the 9th inning because he gave up a home run in the playoffs. See my previous post, but I think you have to use him in the 8th inning. The 9th inning is too much pressure for him and the 7th inning isn't enough pressure. The 8th inning is the sweet spot where you unlock the best version of the Hoff.
  5. Yeah I could always tell that you were an elite athlete who really understood the mental side of what it takes to compete at the highest levels and definitely not one of those "computer people".
  6. If we win today that prospect's name is going to be Byron Buxton
  7. If we win today we are trading for Skubal and Mason Miller and we are going to win the whole damn thing. Bookmark this.
  8. I did a deep dive into the stats, and I've reached an undeniable conclusion. Jeff Hoffman is the Goldilocks of relievers. Hoff is at his best in the 8th inning. The numbers back it up. The 7th inning is his worst. Apparently there's just not enough pressure (aka the porridge is too cold). Avoid using him in the 7th at all costs. The 9th inning is much better than the 7th and statistically it is almost indistinguishable from the 8th for him. But that doesn't fit my scientific theory that the 9th inning contains extra pressure (aka the porridge is too hot) that prevents him from reaching his true potential. The 8th inning, though, is the porridge you want Jeff to be eating. It's juuuuust right. It has the perfect amount of pressure for Hoff to be at his absolute best.
  9. I’m going to get absolutely tarred and feathered for this…BUT…we are only 5 games back from the playoffs you guys…just saying
  10. How the hell are we not one of the 21 teams lol At least it will be a seller's market. Hopefully we can take advantage.
  11. Yes, if any position player in the entire league's bat and defense both decline, then their overall value will drop pretty quickly.
  12. He's been hitting really well since the ASB too. He's only logged about 100 ABs this year, so I wouldn't be surprised if his final slash line ends up looking pretty good in the end. Thus rendering the panic from some of the board's more highly regarded members moot.
  13. The only explanation for using Van Eyk here is that John Schneider is as tired of managing these bums as we are watching them and he wants half of them shipped out at the trade deadline
  14. Yesavage vs. Sandoval Cease vs. Gray Gausman vs. Tolle Must-sweep series
  15. Trading Valenzuela would be a good move. He's had a nice 170 AB stretch, but his projections for his bat are really bad. His defense is still good enough that he's a fringe starter/good backup, but because he's young and has flashed some upside another team might value him like a top-15 to top-20 catcher.
  16. Need a good start out of Bieber so we can trade him
  17. I think most players hate Seattle because it's so remote. Any flight you take, and these guys take a lot of them, is simply going to be a lot longer than the ones you take with most other teams. Plus, the entire franchise is filled to the brim with scumbags. So are their fans.
  18. Yeah we had some back and forth on that recently and to me it seemed like a possibility for both sides. I wouldn't be upset with it but I think a lot of us are getting tired of watching his ABs and dealing with all his injuries. But as frustrating as he can be, most of the options to replace him are with guys with even worse bats.
  19. Yeah a benefit to selling is that we can focus on keeping our pitchers healthy for next year and then give some runway to Keys and the rest of the Buffalo Boys to see what we've got heading in to next season.
  20. Yeah I think we can reload pretty quickly. Lots of money coming off the books and there is a foundation to build on. Rotation: We've got the makings of a solid rotation. AAA depth will be better than it has been in years as well. I'm sure we will be in on Skubal but regardless we need to sign just one more starter. Lineup: Need to add a corner OF, DH and CF. CF is tough but the other spots are some of the cheapest and easiest to fill. We also have internal candidates. Bullpen: Varland/Rogers combo is as good as any in baseball. We've got some solid middle relievers and the AAA depth is decent. Bench: We really needed a right handed bat this year. Perhaps Tony Taters is that guy next year. Kasevich could make for a good platoon partner with Gimenez. The AAA depth here is also decent as a new crop of Buffalo Boys are arriving.
  21. 0 home runs in 210 plate appearances at home is a stat so wild that it's hard to believe
