  1. God damn it, Yankees in bottom of tenth. Just need a run to win.
  2. The front office obviously doesn’t think so, so it’s the managers job to attempt to develop him. I agree though, I’d DFA his ass yesterday.
  3. It’s why managers don’t let guys finish games when it’s close even if they are ‘rolling’ and dumbasses online are complaining.
  4. Which part don’t you understand? Guys are working on s*** constantly. It’s more valuable to get one more at bat from Zimmer and tapia plus get a tiny bit more rest for bichette and springer than it is for someone to hit for a f***ing meaningless cycle. I can’t explain it better than that. Like holy f***, springer misses, best case scenario, 20 games a year. Rest him any time you get a chance.
  5. Every at bat is more info. It’s more valuable to get that info than let springer hit for the cycle. Also, he can’t get HBP either.
  6. I swear to god if the yanks and rays win another close game…
  7. Oh man, he must have struck out the side in the 5th. I saw that he was on 6k after 4. What a performance.
  8. What’s a realistic deal for him? He looks pretty good.
  9. Better than the tigers pitchers. They combined for 13 walks in 6 innings!
  10. He has a sub stack newsletter. If I’m ever out of town or traveling and can’t really follow anything, I read it. It’s a good round up.
  11. I agree with stoeten on this one. Cities are better when there are spaces that pedestrians and cyclists can call their own. On baseball, heÂ’s just an aggregator. He has nothing original or interesting to say coupled with a big attitude.
  12. The dodgers have won one recently (in a bs shortened season) and they put massive resources into every part of their team….. The rays and Yankees have won zero recently and they put massive resources in their own ways into the bullpen. I don’t see the correlation that you see.
  13. You can absolutely do more cimber/richards moves without using top end prospects. Good luck getting swing and miss that way. You will have to trade someone you’d rather keep.
  14. The yanks and the rays seem to have the best pens every year and neither have won in a while. I think as an org we probably do under emphasize the pen. But, I can respect the process. Also, there does seem to be more swing and miss in the farm, so as early as this year we might be able to solve some of our own problems in that area. But, if we want to be like the rays or the Yankees, we need to go back in time and develop pitchers like them AND we need to be willing to put resources into it. The Yankees will spend in free agency. The rays will trade starting short stops for 2 relievers when they are contending.
  15. Yea, in my mind I just crown the team with the most wins the best team in baseball and move on unless the jays are in the playoffs. It’s entertaining but it’s a luckbox. There are some variables. If we are 1 game back of the Yankees at the deadline, I can see the value of trying to get a bye into a 7 game series over having to play a 3 game one first. I also think we should make trades. We need to clear some 40 man mess. We probably have prospects we have soured on and want to sell high. But, giving up genuine guys we want to keep for swing and miss in the pen if we are basically locked into a wild card? No.
  16. I think this is backwards. In a year you are fighting for a spot, you put more resources in. In a year where you are 95% in, you put in less. An 88 win Atlanta team won the World Series last year. There is so much luck in 3 and 7 games series that I find it hard to justify using good prospects to improve our chances within the playoffs itself.
  17. Three earned but one of the errors was his.
  18. They are similar statistically and same amount of control, so probably. Maybe Groshans and Jiminez and two of the older prospects the As like. Or Groshans and Pearson and an older prospect. Those still might be light. They might want to start with martinez.
  19. Frasso hasn’t pitched a ton. I hope Zulueta gets pushed up soon. If he does well in double A, he might solve our long man/back end starter problem in the majors. Or just be bullpen swing and miss.
  20. Our bullpen was a mess last year and we traded riley Adams, john panik, and tellez to fix it. I don’t see us giving up the kind of prospects that getting bednar would require. It just doesn’t seem to jive with our org philosophy towards the pen. If we do get swing and miss, I think it comes internally, or from a weird source.. like a backend starter whose stuff picks up in the pen. Montas I like and we have quite a few of the near majors prospects the As like. That seems like more of a ‘if one of the top 2 gets injured’ type deal. He seems like he would be expensive and he would be our third or fourth best starter. I think I’d rather find like 2/3 backend starters for cheap just as depth and portential bullpen help. To me, the goal is just to make the playoffs. If the gap at the deadline is closer or we are in a dogfight for the last wild card spot… then I’d think about using better assets.
