  1. Well that's better. He has an option next year so I assume we tender him and use him as depth. I'm not expecting much beyond that though. Here's an article which discusses his elaborate glove raise. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/notes-on-more-pitching-rehabbers/
  2. Kirk's flyout would have been a homer in Yankee Stadium lol
  3. My impression is that he's not, they want to leverage tomorrow's offday to give him a full 72 hours of rest
  4. Yeah no need to be careful with the two guys who are the biggest injury risks on the team in Bieber who is coming off TJS and Max whose 41 year old thumb is hanging on by a thread Gausman (4th most innings in baseball the past 5 years) doesn't need any rest either Ramp it up boys! It's playoff time! 😂
  5. Interesting strategy. I think most teams (the ones who can afford to anyway) try to get their starters some form of rest, though I'm not sure that will come in the form of a 6-man rotation or not. But here you are suggesting they ramp up! Did you manage an MLB team in the 1970s per chance?
  6. I could see a 6-man rotation during the stretch in September where we play 13 straight games.
  7. When rosters expand in September, a 6-man rotation becomes easier with the extra bullpen arm. Until then, Bieber, Gausman, and Scherzer are the clear top three, and Bassitt isn’t a bullpen fit. That leaves Berríos and Lauer. Lauer has bullpen experience seems to be a better fit as a longman than Berríos, and he Bassitt now have shorter leashes with Lauer in the pen. It also gives Lauer useful pen reps ahead of the playoffs, where he could be valuable if a starter falters early.
  8. Day off tomorrow too so hopefully he's back Friday with a strict no splits and no hustling rule in place
  9. Correct. He needs to stop hustling on the bases too. Vlad should never hustle.
  10. Apparently Barger did fail some test in 2019. But from what I've seen it appears to be for for amphetamines not steroids. Still just a wild thing to say about a player not even involved in the scuffle.
  11. They rode Grant Holmes pretty hard on the RP-SP conversion too.
  12. Uh oh it looks like I struck a nerve with the AA Fanboys on this one! Sure, 79 wins might be too low but beating that total by a few games isn't going to do them any good when the high spending Mets and Phillies are projecting for far more. In other words, this was supposed to be a potential dynasty that rivaled the Dodgers. 2 years and zero playoff wins later and we are talking about them being a decent bet to finish over .500 because AA teams are always paper thin. Sad!
  13. The Jays have a good opportunity to essentially put the division away with these next three series: @ Pirates @ Miami (cooled off considerably) vs. Twins Meanwhile, the Yankees and Red Sox have a 4 game series coming up.
  14. I collected a ton during the junk wax era when I was a kid and all of that stuff is worth almost nothing. The resurgence has definitely peaked my interest but I still plan on mostly staying away. It's become far more expensive and there's no way it pays off. I'd be better off doing more sports gambling. That said, I still might whet my appetite by picking up a rookie card of Vlad Jr. and Kirk because of the extensions and can display them on the shelf in my office. Maybe throw in a Halladay and Stieb rookie too.
  15. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/is-all-hope-lost-for-the-atlanta-braves/ The gist of the article is that the Braves only project for 79 wins next season and will need to spend big in FA next year to right the ship. But they haven't spent big in FA in quite some time. Meanwhile, the Ross Atkins' led Blue Jays have the best record in the American League. Dumping that chubby idiot AA was the best move Shapiro has made.
  16. He should be an upgrade over the below replacement level stuff they've been running out there But they are a joke for dumpster diving instead of making actual trades
  17. Red Sox dumpster diving for Nats castoffs after making minimal moves at the deadline
  18. Or for your boy Freeland who is flopping like a fish. I tried telling ya :)
