    Tobias Meyers ace, hopefully this takes the pressure off Peralta and he can settle back into himself.

    Frelick having a very nice game with his 3rd time on base. It doesn't seem like it but that bumps his OPS+ to 96 at the moment. Offense is just so mediocre across the league.
  3. igor67
    And a good reminder that there is a lot of season left, even if we don't make any big trades Philly getting hit with injuries like us or Atlanta can close that gap a lot.

    It is never good to long for the days of Lyle Overbay

    At the moment even the second wild card has this issue, but the record splits are so extreme this year that despite all being under .500 all but 2 NL teams are within 2 games of the 3rd wildcard. The ship has sailed, but that is not the type of playoff race I find terribly interesting.

    Let's get our ace some runs.

    Nice AB again for Chourio

    Most middle schoolers don't even know what it means they just say it because everyone else is.

    Insurance (i.e. climate) related housing displacement looks like it is going to become a bigger issue in the coming years as well. Some disincentives (limited deductions, aggressive code or modernization requirements perhaps) for institutional investors make some sense if you combine modest movements on that side with actual supply changes the price distortions will even out quickly. Raising capital gains taxes is another way to remove institutional/ corporate money and not a bad idea to cut down on future investing bubbles.

    I'm also in the nothing really changed camp. All 3 games were close, and any one of those plays at the plate turning out differently could have turned a loss into a win. Same obvious potential places to upgrade as before, same reasons for some optimism when it comes to pitching reinforcements.

    Good take the easy steal
  12. igor67
    Psych you thought you were getting a lefty.
  13. igor67
    Last year it was OFers, at least there are more pitchers on the roster in general to partially explain why.
  14. igor67
    Bright side at least we aren't facing TBD, that guy kills us every time!
  15. igor67
    I'd be more inclined to buy the premise if he had seen a significant number AAA ABs, but he never has so giving him a month or 2 to be successful putting these lessons to practice is not something to dismiss out of hand. He's still got 2 weeks until Mitchell is back and if he shows progress it's a different conversation.
  16. igor67
    Jackson barely had 20 AAA ABs, some consistent time to get back to producing reliably is a pretty reasonable idea at this point. Fangraphs has both defensively with similar value. 1 (Jackson) vs 2 (Frelick) DRS and 1.1 UZR for Jackson vs. 1.6 for Frelick. I'm comfortable calling that a wash even though Frelick is a smidge ahead. For the purposes of the discussion a solid starting bat would more clearly push Frelick into that 4th OFer role as well.
  17. igor67
    Frelick's OPS is over 70 points higher than Chourio's and most of that is OBP (Jackson's SLG is just 6 points higher). So Chourio is the obvious replacement at the moment if you are only focused on the current line-up.
  18. igor67
    With as left heavy at the top, I'd be inclined to go with Hudson or Koenig in game 1 and be content with only getting 1 inning but hoping to snag 2 innings and setting yourself up to do that again in game 3 or 4 of the series while still having good options to bring in a lefty for key innings late.
  19. igor67
    Position players are way more likely to win ROY, so that helps. Potentially splitting the Dodger vote helps and if the Cubs can't turn it around Ortiz being on a contender helps. It would definitely be huge to add another pick from that deal.
  20. igor67
    If Chourio turns it on this offense become just fantastic, I don't mind waiting Mitchell out for a bit to see if he can deliver solid performance but by the end of the month they need to not be giving full time ABs to the OF mix if they are sub .700 OPS. I don't want to lock those young guys out for good, but come the second half you need to set yourself up. I don't worry too much about the true bench type players because I assume they'll do what they can but for the most part the cost and the benefits to those players are modest enough I don't worry too much about it with the current front office. I do think if they can get another solid starter combined with the super deep pen and defense that might well be enough pitching to put it all together.

    I'm inclined to think he's a proud guy and dealing with being on a complete joke of a team ain't a whole lot of fun.
  22. igor67
    I was thinking with the balanced schedule that at this point in the season that wasn't that big a factor, but The Giants, St. Louis, and Washington are all atleast .500 or slightly better with the Philly games off the schedule.
  23. igor67
    No doubt every game I tune into and still get to hear him call is special.
  24. igor67
    And the Pirates have lost
  25. igor67
    Looking for chances (like a 3 run lead with a guy already in the game) to extend pitchers a bit is a good thing in my book.
