    Those rewatch influencers drive me nuts. There are a bunch of them all over.. no one watches games like that ha.
  2. liveforoctober
    Uribe can drop the appeal now.
  3. liveforoctober
    Feel bad for Ashby. Deserved the win.
  4. liveforoctober
    Thieves.

    That all sounds about right. So you are anticipating a 120wRC+ from Contreras and if we are not giving Vaughn credit for being a different hitter with Milwaukee... Then a 105+ish wRC+ from Vaughn. Fair play. I disagree but I'm not mad at the opinion.
  6. liveforoctober
    Right. I didn't say Vaughn has had a better career than Contreras? I said he MIGHT be the better hitter moving forward. Vaughn just passed a half season with Milwaukee and he was 1.8 war in that time. Contreras has been a 3 to 4 war player per year in his career. Contreras is 34. Vaughn is 28. I would assume one of those guys has possible room for upward growth yet and one of those guys does not. Contreras might outhit Vaughn this year and next. There is a fair argument to be had that he won't.

    Okay, after that first at bat no one gets to swing until he throws a strike.

    Ashby for the 8th so we can take the lead and then Uribe for the 9th and then drop the appeal?

    I might be missing something here. Why would we trade Vaughn and prospects for a guy who might no longer be a better hitter than Vaughn, costs over twice as much as Vaughn, and hates our team?

    I understand we are just speculating - but it might be a really weird trade deadline year. Lockout looming in the background ... but more importantly the AL is underperforming so wildly that a team like the Red Sox (currently 9 games under .500) are only 4 games out of a wild card spot. The entire American League will probably still think they are in it well into summer..

    I could be very wrong about this ... but I feel like if Stearns took over the Rockies he would have them respectable in no time. In NY it feels more like a personality misalignment between GM and market expectation? Some people are good at mining for gold and some people are good at spending it. Stearns seems like a bottom up rather than a top down builder. Constrain him financially and ask him to build a baseball team and let him work. Arnold coming from the Rays and thriving with Milwaukee ... I wonder if he is forever cut from the same cloth. Hopefully he never gets the itch to go to a big market and become a spending GM rather than a mining one.

    No question. His biggest value to us his whole career was consistent availability. I would trade for him tomorrow if the price was right for the remainder of the year because he would glue everything together for us. The original topic of contention was who we would start in a playoff game this year ... and I said if Woodruff was healthy I would take him over a Peralta in a playoff game. Season long value is Peralta without question.
  13. liveforoctober
    That's wonderful. The specific conversation topic was who our playoff rotation would be and I said I would take Woodruff if he was healthy over Peralta.

    Nothing more important in baseball than breaking records and Sal is on pace to shatter the MLB record for most times reaching on catcher's interference.
  15. liveforoctober
    I had said in an earlier reply in this convo I would take a healthy Woodruff over Peralta in a playoff game start but would take Peralta if BW wasn't a full go. That part of the convo was lost in this and later replies. There was an implication from a poster that Woodruff had lost effectiveness at this juncture comparative to Peralta and I was simply pointing out that the rough stats this year, when both have pitched, have been similar.

    But trying and failing in this instance is failing twice. If you make some bold trade and give away prospects and it doesn't work you now have failed in the attempt to make a run at it - whatever that may mean - and you also have now weakened the system for the future. So you are compounding mistakes for a manufactured feeling of effort. Again, last year... we did 'nothing' and ran with Durbin at 3rd over Suarez and McMahon. Durbin outplayed both. Not only that but we would still have McMahon and would be paying him $11+million this year to be just as bad as Rengifo has been. Can you imagine had we included Durbin in the trade to get either of those guys and missed out on Harrison+ this offseason?! In a very real sense "not do anything at all" is the bravest thing to do... you are playing the lottery in most other scenarios.

    #Sveumbomb Can I officially request we add two more emoticons to the 5 we currently have? On top of sad, disagree, love, like, and WHOA SOLVDD ... I would like a picture of Dale Sveum's face so I can click it and summon the professor to come answer/fix another poster's question/misunderstanding. .. and secondly a picture of Eeyore so whenever a grump is vomiting unnecessarily on other's happiness we can take out our frustrations on them with a donkey emoji click. (Adambr2 this is not in reference to your Angels' comment)

    .. and making the move guarantees nothing other than it placates to the casual fan. Last year Suarez was the prize 3B at the deadline and there were many here who were really hurt we didn't make the move to get him. He went to Seattle and struck out 1/3 of the time, hit below .200, and didn't return for '26 (Granted he did hit a few big post season home runs). Would we have beaten LA with him? I really don't think so. He cost the Mariners their #9, #16, and #17 prospects. I know all systems are not equal but it seems a really good piece of judgment on our end that we didn't part with Marco Dinges, Blake Burke, and Tyson Hardin for a guy who was, by most accounts, outplayed by Caleb Durbin down the stretch. I would be willing to bet that a lot of us here would pay a really steep price for a guaranteed World Series trip and we would pay a really, REALLY high price for a World Series title... but those guarantees don't exist.

    But my friend you are exhibiting hypothetical outrage. In your example above, you are upset we aren't trading Pena for CJ Abrams. How do we know that offer exists? "Well Abrams could be acquired, we just don't know the exact cost and we aren't willing to go high at all..." How am I to be upset over something I can't confirm? What if the asking price on Abrams, for us specifically, is Made+. The Brewers called and for whatever reason the Nationals are playing hardball with us and asking for Made plus an arm plus a low level top 30 ticket? If that is the price I would hope all of us are out on the trade. So why get all worked up on a hypothetical? Taking shots at folks who "just want a summer of fun" isn't fair when neither of the parties have details.

    If I was a Cardinals fan, this would have been the most maddening game to watch given everything that happened in the last 48 hours.
  21. liveforoctober
    Hamilton breaking up this no-hitter with a bunt single is going to bring the fireworks.
  22. liveforoctober
    Also, I'm not sure why we haven't given Patrick #30 yet so we can call him CP30. That seems too easy.
  23. liveforoctober
    Is this the end of the unique lineups streak or did that happen in the last week and I missed it?
  24. liveforoctober
    If Abner needs to close out the game today that will be must see tv.
  25. liveforoctober
    I get the trepidation but I would give it a minute yet before suspecting foul play. He has started 14 of 19 since returning from the IL and maybe the Brewers and he thought a day off a week for his hand was appropriate or something like that for the first month... who knows. I do also want his bat in the lineup everyday .., but I think the same about Bauers right now too.
