Baty is on the way. Eppler must have learned from watching Grissom crush it in Atlanta.
With Bregman starting to hit again, Yanks better be worried.
Can I ask which 2 tickers I have frozen? I'm confused by my own spreadsheet!
Braves making a statement in the chop house tonight. On the plus side, Ruf could be the 2nd coming of Ohtani. He had a better outing than Givens!
Gotta love Vic!
Maybe because Benintendi is hitting under .200 in a skanks uniform and will be under .300 for the season by this weekend if he doesn't pull his thumb out
Now don't go gettin all sentimental for Joey G.
Watching the guy the Brewers traded for Hader get crushed by Pujols late in their loss could easily cost the Brewers not only the game, but also a few thousand season ticket subscriptions. What a deal.
Stearns saying that there were no bats at the deadline worth the asking price is an added level of arrogance, ie, I'm so much shrewder than the rest of MLB looking to make trades. Bottom line: we needed help and he didn't get it done. That's a failure. We needed a bat not an excuse. I'm no fan of preller or dipoto, but when the window is slightly open, you have to act.
Yanks have issues for sure. Judge can't let up even a bit or the line up collapses like a paper bag. Getting rid of Sanchez was a great step, but now you get to live with Donaldson in the 3 hole, while it's well known the the team thinks he's an A hole. Gio was a good fit for the Yanks imo.
And now it's clearer that some of the pitching staff had a balco-esque first half that wasn't rooted in historical statistics.
Good thing you got off to that huge lead in the division....and that the Orioles are the next best thing after the Yanks. It'll be interesting to see how that first 3/5 series plays out and whether the layoff helps or hurts the bye teams.
Haha! Love it! IKF has played well for the skanks this year. It's not in the counting stats but he puts it in play, and on a team of all-or-nothing strike out hackers,that counts for more than a little.
But isn't he honing in on 30/30??
Don't count out Milwaukee yet in the NL Central. They're half a game out of first with plenty of head to head action left. Just let's not talk about the 7 games vs the Dodgers!
Field of Dreams indeed. Baseball has a lot to answer for, what with the shabby treatment of minor leaguers and the lack of minority representation at the top end. There would be a lot of Tatises shooting up behind the scenes before coming through the cornfield. For many, it's their only chance.
Yup. Some really, really good teams aren't going to win the World Series this year. And most of them are in the NL.
In the case of Donaldson, substitute the word PAST for the word FUTURE and you have some excellent analysis.
Your season was over when you traded for JBJ! Let's see how he fares in Toronto after being DFA'ed.
If the Red Sox front office has a plan, you need the baseball equivalent of the Rosetta Stone to decipher it, but hey, you got Hosmer locked in to 1st.
Yeah, much as I loathe the Cards they compete every year. They spend for headline talent and they keep the relationship with their fan base tight by holding on to the wainwrights and molinas. They sure stuck with carpenter long enough.
Seems to me that there's some billy beane syndrome out there with some of these GM's. Too clever for their own good. To compete at the highest level, IMO a team needs 2 top starters, 1 lockdown closer and a core of 3 bats. Then you can fill in. This is what makes the Mets, Dodgers and Braves so effective. It's also what the Yanks don't quite have.
It's painful for fans. I've thought about the teardown plan as well, if only because that trade was not the move of a competitor. Then they DFA Lamet. Brewers had a window which peaked last season and is now quickly slamming shut.
Right now, Williams, Woodruff and Burnes have value. The rest of the line up could be swapped out for any other team's mediocre players and the result would be the same. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Stearns gone in this offseason to a bigger market club like Boston or San Diego.
Ding ding ding! Chicken dinner. You take Stanton out of the line up and the Yanks struggle. You take Judge out and you got the Brewers.
In contrast, the Astros are so deep. They've played parts of this season without every big hitter in their line up and they don't miss a beat. If they go into October healthy, they're the favourites, regardless of home field.
I've seen worse trades of a closer at the deadline. Since dealing Hader, the crew has been swept by Pittsburgh and dropped a home series to the juggernaut known as the Reds. The team morale is obviously in the toilet and rightfully so.
With St Louis starting to heat up and the Phillies facing Washington for a third of their remaining schedule, the Crew has no route to the post season. Even the team owner is bowing out of the fray, saying it was a decision left to baseball management.
No argument here. Ownership must have approved it. Milwaukee haa an awesome fan base. Moves like this really erode it. And where's the 2-3 bats this team so obviously needed to bring in for a deep run?
It's a gut punch to every fan. Doing nothing would have been much better. I'm at a loss. Moving Hader was in the cards but not for this pile of shiit.
Mets had a quiet trade season. Phils got better, padres killed it. Yanks even added by subtracting.
Crushed today. Not sure what to think here.....
What a shit deal.....
And the NL? I know the team is stacked but it's pretty hard to ignore Freeman's numbers at this point. Goldschmidt, Riley, Alonso..... Too close to call right now.
Judge has been the indisputable MVP. Cole on the other hand.....
Excellent. Love to see him traded to the AL!
That $$ amount is getting higher and higher every day. Can't remember the last time I saw one player carry a team for so long. Why on earth would you pitch to this guy?
He was dominant. Maybe Cashy should pass on Castillo and focus on Singer instead.
JD without the injury would be huge. That's a big roll of the dice, especially with a balky back, but he is swinging the bat again.
What type of stooge actually pitches to Pay the Man in a 0-0 game in the bottom of the 9th? Unreal.
Lol! What dud trade. Guess that rules out Soto.
That Yanks line up can sure look mediocre at times. Without Stanton, it's all on judge's bat. The other 7 are within a standard deviation of average.
Totally agree. That to me is the best move the Yanks made in the off season. I'm not crazy about Donaldson and losing Urshela carries some pain, but I'm a big believer that there are guys you know you can't win big with. And those guys gotta go, even if you don't have much of a plan B. Sanchez is that guy. Maybe he lights it up in Minnesota but in New York, losing another playoff game due to a past ball by Gary just couldn't happen again.
And he's 0-3. Can't handle the pressure. Trade him tomorrow. Fire CASHman and sign Soto.
Who? What an add/steal for the Yanks. Does Joey stick around with rosters expanding or is he DFA'ed?
Left.
He has been hot lately for sure. Getting him straight up for JBJ was a coup. The crew's offense is only the long ball. It can work over 162 games but when you need 2 or 3 runs to close out a playoff game, the pitching will usually prevail against that type of free swinging approach. It did last year vs Atlanta. McNeil's punch to right late in tonight's game.... that's what wins tight games in Oct.
This is the first time I've seen Diaz pitch this season. He blew 'em away. Lemahieu doesn't usually look that bad on swings, but he was completely overmatched. Given Kelenic's career arc to date, maybe Brodie was shrewder than ya thought.
I love the bottom of the Mets line up. McNeil and Guillorme both know how to hit, especially with 2 strikes. A bit like Lux in LA. Turning the line up over is something that doesn't happen much in the MLB. Certainly not in Milwaukee.
Bond' s numbers don't seem humanly possible, unless.....
Sounds like it's time to ditch solar and drill some more coal. Can't be having those damn panels competing with green house gasses in the race to annually top global weather events and "natural" disasters.
