BLRX with the equivalent of a 15:1 rs. Not what I was hoping for, what with recent years financing done, loads of h2 catalysts and no delisting threat imminent. Hopefully no new offering is on the works here.
Hiura ain't goin nowhere! They let Gennett walk for nothing and blew it with Schoop. Looks like 2b is finally sorted for the contract-controlled future.
That said, the Mets have to be sellers. They're a decent team playing rotten baseball. The problem is that the players they need to jettison are the players nobody wants. Even if the Mets pay a substantial garbage removal premium.
Cano was a yet another reminder that drug cheats should be dumped and avoided at all costs. Braun is a daily reminder of this as well for Brewers fans.
Sounds great. You can have your choice of Braun or Aguilar. Or both! +
Agreed on Shaw and Hiura. Can't believe it took this long, what with Shaw having an option left. Should have let Shaw find his swing in the minors.
Brewers pitching has been woeful, especially the starters. It's looking more and more like that staff over performed last season. They need to make a move this year as Moose and Grandal won't be back in 2020.
You have my sympathy. That blown game today was hard to watch for anyone who isn't a Phils fan.
Hard to believe this team is that bad.
Bruce sucked when he played for the Mets. You couldn't wait to see him head out of town. Maybe his resurgence has something to do with being on a contender.
Yup, Mets aren't toast yet. Yet. And the good news for you is that it's the youngsters who are producing. There's a strong core with Alonso and McNeil and Davis that should keep the Mets strong looking ahead. Old, overpaid veterans who don't produce are a sign of a shonky GM. Sure, you can say all you want about what the player did before the signing, but the difference between a solid front office and a soon to be former GM is the ROI for the big contracts. Brodie has set himself up nicely for a return to the ranks of player agent. Cano, Lowrie, Diaz (who in all fairness can still bring it but definitely overachieved last season)- these are the Brodie legacy players. And no argument about Calloway from me, but you have to trot your $$ players out every day. Can't make the boss look like a stooge.
Brewers drop 4 straight. Since they packed Keston Hiura back to the minors, they've been on a downhill slide. I'm actually pretty amazed that they're this close to the Cubs, what with 1B Jesus Aguilar hitting well under his pre-buffet table weight at .201, with a whopping 5 dingers for the year. Look across the diamond and you get Travis Shaw, whose stellar 1 for 4 day today against the Reds lifted his average to .171 with 5 HRs for the year.
That's the corner infield situation. The power positions. You can't trot out 2 dead-certain rally killers every day and expect to win games.
Ramos is the only name of the first 4 that might spark some interest. You know you've made a horrible deal for a player when you can't get rid of him... short of eating the contract. And that's where the Mets are. The quicker they suck it up and dump some of these chumps the better. Look, the line up is decent this year. And the starting staff is quality. I'd happily trade the Brewers starters for yours... even throw in Braun too. Good company for Cano... they can spend some quality time together in the locker room swapping rehab and PED stories.
Mets went for the quick fix this year and ended up compounding the problem.
You get Paxton, Ottavino and Briton in the off-season and crow Now, how 'bout some pitching. You Yankees fans are just plain greedy!
Don't forget Morales or Ellsbury either. CASHman is indeed king!
Looks like a steep learning curve for Brodie. Trader Jerry takes some flack for his ADHD approach to wheelin and dealin, but he understands the basic premise of any deal: sell high, fleece the new guy who wants to make a splash.
Is his contract up at the end of the season?
Mean while in a game with early playoff implications, the marlins are ruining Jimmy Nelson's return to the bigs. The crew's pitching, especially the starters, has been a ? this season, but it's the bats that have snoozed in this series.
Now Kimbrel signs with the dreaded cubs and it's looking like a division repeat is slipping away.
Brewers getting absolutely destroyed by the flippin' Marlins tonight. These are games you have to win. Sheesh, it's hard enough beating the good teams...
Could be time to call in Reggie for a bit of mentoring.
Just watched the Yanks/Sox recap. Indeed, as was once famously quipped: Down goes Frazier.
Even in my 50+ league, you don't see 'em booted like that too often. Scranton might be too generous...maybe a move to Miami instead...
Best dig of the night came from the Diamondbacks announcer:
"Looking at this Mets bullpen, you can see how Degrom won the Cy Young award with just 10 victories".
Gotta say, the Mets offense BLEW during this game. They were soft and easy. 8 innings they went down in order.
Brewers win a tough one, even when Hader can't get the job done.
NL central is easily the best division in baseball. All teams still in with a shot at taking out the top spot.
In contrast, the rest of MLB is a mess. Rays and Braves are keeping their divisions watchable, but the rest of the races are pretty much done and dusted. Yeah, I know it's a 162 game season, but do you really think the dodgers, astros or twins will even be challenged? So you have 3 divisions with 50 game seasons and 2 divisions where it's only a question of who takes first and who is the wild card. What's left? 110 games of losers kicking each other when they're down, jockeying to get rid of their veterans so the fat get fatter.
No wonder baseball has a serious attendance problem.
Yup. They blew that one But it happens. Even to Hader!
That Mariners deal was putting a lot of smiles on Mets'fans faces before the season started. Didn't you give it a thumbs up?
Maybe an agent isn't the best pathway to a successful GM job in the bigs. Probably cheaper to hire a baby -faced stats dude fresh out of university like the Brewers did. ??
I think it's Houston. Then in the next tier, the Yanks and Red Sox. The Astros have it all.
I honestly think the yanks are a better team without Stanton. Judge is the big stick every team needs in the line up. He has carried the yanks previously and the line up seems to fire on more cylinders when he's in the 4 hole. I don't think Stanton provides the same spark.
He is indeed! Yanks productivity has been off the charts without the big name stars. How do you sit these guys when Stanton, Didi and lurch return?
Come in to my office. Thanks for the .338 average, the power and the stellar d. Here's your bus ticket to Columbus.
Schoop is having a nice season in Minnesota, but IMO, DJ has been the shrewdest off season signing from the massive class of 2nd basemen.
It is amazing. Now let's see them do 1/2 of that against the Astros, because that's what's waiting in October.
Wow. Maybe crazy market conditions call for crazy trading patterns! Nice job to claw back 41% in a few weeks.
BLRX Sheff bought in 100k shares. No doubt the flock will follow. Could explain the volume.
I still think the Mets could pull their thumbs out and make a run in that division this season...just can't afford any more sweeps by the Marlins.
Maybe you could trade managers.... the Mets trade Callaway to the Nats for Dave Martinez. Looks like it's a close race about who's getting fired first.
Thanks to the Cash-man for letting Gio walk. He's been the stabilizer the Brewers have needed, munching up a boat load of innings and showing the young arms how to pitch rather than throw.
...thought it was the "socks"....
Hmm. If the 100U vial if indeed a smoke screen for the filing delay, what, IYO, could be the real reason(s) for the delay?
Been singing that tune since the last $17 raise. This company has been nothing but a good, hard kick in the nuts.
Lesson 1: when insiders bail hand over fist on their shares, it's usually not a sign that pps appreciation is happening anytime soon.
Glad we got shed of broxton, even though wahl is done for the year.
Excellent to see yelich back in the line up today. Even better to have missed degrom and thorskin.
Gonna be a long year. Don't quit on the metties just yet. With the sp staff you have, a 9 game streak could happen any time. And then you're right back in it.
A tough loss, indeed. But that's the nature of an 18 inning game, and you have to admit that the Brewers had many, many more chances to win it than the Mets before the 18th. On the bright side, your bullpen performed well.
How can you be sick of the Brewers? They're never in contention long enough to be sick of them.
That's nothing. Just get CASHman to spend some of Boss Jr's daddy's money. Now losing Yelich, THAT'S a killer.
Feeling lucky for the Crew to catch your 2 aces in slump mode. The bats broke out big and Counsell did the right thing pulling Woodruff after a strong 5 innings.
We needed a series win as the Cards have been looking like the top team in the NL imo.
Well done kik! Lots of portfolios up by 20 percent or better.
We certainly need pitching, especially starters. Getting swept by the Cards sucks, but it's not only the pitching that's been weak in Crewtown. Aside from Yelich, the bats have been awful to mediocre. And I see Santana lighting it up in Seattle and wonder what the Brewers GM sees in Braun over a guy who hit 30 dongs the last time he was given a chance. Could have dumped Braun 2 years ago when the Dodgers were eager to pick up his bloated contract. And lookie over in Baltimore, where Villar is playing a solid 2nd base hitting decently. I don't get it. Oh well, hopefully Gio can give them some q starts.
SRTS what's it going to take for this ticker to move...it has been the Rodney Dangerfield of bio stocks for far too long.
Time for Cash-man to overpay Keuchel.
