Reds are an exciting team to watch, a bit like the Orioles a couple of years ago. Milwaukee is not. While the pitching has been okay in the past few years, injuries have knocked back the rotation this season, and the offense as usual has been AA level at times. AAA is a bonus.
I'm hoping whoever trades for Burnes will have to eat Yelich's contract too. If it's a rebuild, let's get on with it- after watching the Crew get swept by Oakland at home this weekend, I'm finding since the HAder trade, the air has gone out of the balloon, even if they can scrape together the 82-80 record required to win their division. The quicker they extract some value for thier trade pieces, the better.
Mets are as boring a team to watch as any in MLB this season: they get down early in games and struggle to find a spark. While the monster payroll is clearly not a guarantor of elite status, for that $$, fielding a team this mediocre and downright boring is unacceptable. There's clearly no chemistry on this squad; they don't play well for Buck, for which they aren't in any way made to answer. As for the forecast of winning 95 games, that was based on the premise of old men pitching like 28 year olds.
