    Need to get Skenes out of the game and Yelich swings on 2-0 without making him throw a strike first, Adames tries to ambush the first pitch which is inside, and then Frelick swings on 1-0 without making him throw a strike first. SMH...
  2. LouisEly
    That'll do!

    With Reynolds, Cruz, and Tellez coming up you have to try to get Civale through McCutcheon so they can bring in a lefty.
  4. LouisEly
    I'm totally OK with not getting a hit this inning if it means that Skenes throws at least 14 more pitches.

    Core CPI up only 0.1% MoM, shelter up only 0.2% MoM (in the hottest months for rent demand and lease initiations). Core up 3.3% YoY vs. 3.4% YoY last month. All-items declined 0.1% MoM, first decline since May 2020. Gas down 3.8% MoM during the first month of summer driving season, where it usually goes up.

    Zack Wheeler left Tuesday's game early with lower back tightness. Said his back had been bothering him lately. All it takes is a couple of injuries...

    Pirates saw 5 pitches in the 9th. They just wanted to get the hell out of there.

    Hitting .290 over the last 28 days, .355 OPB, just hasn't been getting extra base hits.

    Hopefully Bauers PH for Yelich was just a "we think it's out of hand so give Yelich the rest of the night off" and not anything else...

    https://www.mlb.com/prospects/draft/cam-smith-701358 Smith runs better than he did in high school and has the chance to be a very good third baseman, with a strong arm, at the next level.

    Of those who realistically expect to be there, my preferences are: Carson Benge Brody Brecht Ryan Sloan (so long as he's under $5M) I have a feeling that someone a few slots above the Brewers is going to take the less risky Benge at an underslot deal. Really tempted by Sloan; HS pitchers are the biggest risk, but he seems physically mature already and seems to have an advanced feel for the cutter and changeup and working the entire zone. Coming from central IL, he's probably pitched in colder weather.

    2023 AAA stats: Winker: .286/.462/.500; .962 OPS Hiura: .308/.395/.565; .960 OPS Seems pretty similar, right? Winker: 23 BB/ 13 K in 93 PAs; 24.7% BB rate, 14% K rate Hiura: 31 BB/ 90 K in 367 PAs; 8.4% BB rate, 24.5% K rate That's why Winker was brought back up at the end of the season and got two PH ABs in the playoffs.

    Bingo. Any money sent by NYM does not offset the amount that goes against the salary cap. Scherzer would add about $15M to the salary cap number. Yankees are already $90M over the base threshold, so they will be paying a 60% surcharge on any salary they acquire - that's an additional $9M surcharge on Scherzer's contract. Same w/LA - $90M over base. PHI only $10M over base, but Scherzer puts them in a 12% surcharge.

    Because gas and oil don't cost anything over the lifetime of a gas mower...

    Who they should be selling: Luis Lara - while he still has value Bradley Blalock - will need to give up pitching to get pitching, and clock has already started Tyler Black - love him, but lack of defensive home makes it tough and he's the most likely to be able to bring back quality pitching with multiple years of control Eric Brown, Jr. - (see Luis Lara) One of Mitchell/Frelick - somewhat redundant Mike Boeve - Ortiz/Turang/Wilken/Black will make it tough to find AB's for him in the infield, deal from surplus Carlos Rodriguez - (see Bradley Blalock)

    It really is that simple. It's just not that easy.

    Already have a (partial) solution to that - drone shows. A number of big cities worldwide have adopted them. Denver replaced their annual July 3rd fireworks show with a drone show. It's only a matter of time before all big cities adopt a drone show for noise, injury liability, and fire hazard reasons. I assume you are referring to consumer fireworks mostly, though.
  18. LouisEly
    Yep, It's the main reason that a replacement level pitcher will occasionally throw 7 shutout innings and a good hitter will occasionally go in a 2-26 slump and a horrible team will still win 50 games. The talent level between players is really, really small.
  19. LouisEly
    So far. Most of the starting pitchers selected usually opt out, so they'll need to name a number of replacements.

    Somebody's been a little quiet lately...

    Turang absolutely deserves it over Arraez. Arraez has a pretty batting average, but he's only walked 7 times in 300 PAs and Turang has a higher OPS. Defensively, Arraez isn't even playing 2B anymore for the Padres, he's playing 1B and isn't even a good defender at 2B. Alonzo and Freeman are the backup 1B and Turang absolutely should be the backup 2B over Arraez. Abrams is a SS.
  22. LouisEly
    Yep, some really good choices. Keys and Miller are both worth taking a shot on in the 3rd and 4th if they're still there to see if they can make something defensively of them. Normally I'd think that a player such as DeBarge would be a prototypical pick for the Brewers at #57, but with so many talented IFs at the lower levels of the org I don't know if they go that route.

    To Hicklen's credit, he's forcing the issue. The problem right now is figuring out the 40-man roster spots for the pitchers coming back from the 60-day IL first. D.L. Hall is ready to come back, Ross just had his first rehab start (it was his back, not his arm, so I assume a quick ramp-up for rehab appearances), and Devin Williams will be back soon. So who are the three who get DFA'd? Herget, Capra (assuming Ortiz is back from the IL soon), and then one of Zastryzny, Keuchel (not until Ross is back), or possibly Junk? Maybe Haase once Sanchez is back, but do you risk losing your catching depth if they DFA him? Then you potentially have Bukauskas coming back, that's another spot. Then you have possibly adding another pitcher at the trade deadline. For Hicklen to be added, that means DFA-ing perhaps all three of Zastryzny, Keuchel, and Junk to make room for him. I don't see that happening until September 1st when they can add another position player as it will likely take until then to sort the pitching out.

    I don't know about destroying the bullpen, but you can go to very different environments. In Denver the air is thin and dry, and as such breaking balls don't break as much because there isn't as much humidity in the air to cause friction with the baseball to make it break. So you have to pitch differently and focus more on changing speeds. In LA, if you get the marine layer rolling in at night the air can get very thick and you're basically not much higher than sea level. You're going from thin, dry air at 5000 feet to thick air at 500 feet.

    Interesting dilemma on that role. When Devin comes back, do you move him back to closer? Or does he get Wally Pipp-ed for Megill and get the 8th? Williams last year: 13.3 K/9, 4.3 BB/9, 0.6 HR/9 Megill this year: 10.2 K/9, 2.2 BB/9, 0.3 HR/9
