    They are adding extra off days in the season this year (why we are starting on a Thursday instead of Monday) so if anything 162 game seasons should be more common. And I have no idea why that would be a bad thing, the star players should play every game if possible. If Prince Fielder could do it no reason a guy like Yelich shouldn't be able to.

    This guy already has more guaranteed money than Jonathan Lucroy has made in his entire career of putting up almost 20 WAR

    Last year the Brewers faced 128 RH starters and 34 LH starters. Of course if you assume injuries that will dictate who plays, but under normal conditions to start the year it looks like Santana is going to sit the most out of Thames, Braun and him. Game 2 of the season he will not be starting.

    Someone is going to miss a lot of starts until we have an injury, and Thames seems like he'd be the guy to sit most. As you quoted, Thames will be getting plenty of start since most pitchers are righty. The guy who is going to sit the most is Santana which we all already knew because against RHP the OF will be Braun, Yelich, Cain most days. I am wondering who is playing LF/RF in that starting group.

    The point is you need to do this for every player in the league and then see what the average and elite ERA numbers are. You are still treating 3.32 like the great number it is overall, but it may not be as good if you compare it to the MLB average after removing the best/worst 3 starts.

    I had to check, there have been tons of these streaks in the dead ball era, but since 1920 the only 2 such streaks (road game, 5+ IP, 0 ER) of 5 or more games are: Zach Davies (5 starts) Jul 19 2017 - Aug 26 2017 Rogers Clemens (6 starts) Sep 24 2004- Jun 17 2005

    I agree, you should get comps because you lost a player you wanted to keep. The Cubs get a pick for a guy they didn't even want on their team.
  8. topper09er
    Why? Because he missed half of ST I would assume. Correct, I mean why do pitchers normally show up in mid February if it doesn't even matter

    Is Lynn going to be on the opening day roster for the Twins? Maybe with very low pitch count limits?
  10. topper09er
    Looks like Hader with no haircut in the offseason, by September he is going to look live a caveman
  11. topper09er
    Wow Thames shortens up with 2 strikes and delivers an RBI. Great to see, hopefully CC is trying to emphasize actually playing baseball instead of HR derby this season

    I thought that was his nickname from last year during the stupid nickname jersey weekend

    This Rockies pitcher is throwing a ton of changeups
  15. topper09er
    Aguilar looks a little slimmed down this year, too bad for him I don't see any way he makes the opening day roster. I'm sure we will see him in Milwaukee at some point this year
  16. topper09er
    Perez really stayed back nicely on a changeup for a single
  17. topper09er
    Braun with a dumb move running on a ball hit in front of him to the SS, but gets lucky because Arenado basically did his best NBA impression and didnt even try in order to avoid contact.
  18. topper09er
    Braun just goes with the pitch and really drives it to RC. Nice AB.
  19. topper09er
    I didnt see a replay of Suter on his pickup, but from the runner view you could see he was not even leaning or took a step in the wrong direction, Suter just straight up picked him off on a throw over to first
  20. topper09er
    I am traveling for work and have nothing to do this afternoon other than watch the spring training game against the Rockies, anyone here watching it?
  21. topper09er
    2005-2006 combined bWAR leaders for LHP: 14.7 Johan Santana 11.3 Dontrelle Willis 8.3 Andy Pettitte 8.1 Kenny Rogers 7.7 Barry Zito 7.6 Scott Kazmir 7.4 Randy Johnson 7.0 Mark Buehrle 6.9 Tom Glavine 6.5 Chris Capuano 6.4 CC Sabathia 6.2 Erik Bedard 6.2 Zach Duke 6.0 BJ Ryan

    For reference, you don’t really need to say that in quotes. It’s a common expression. Mark Murphy may be the 10 millionth person to say that. Sorry could not resist
  23. topper09er
    I agree, but I think the real issue is the time between pitches. This is easy to fix since a rule already exists that simply needs to be enforced, no stepping out of the box if you did not swing. I don't mind the inning breaks, go get another beer etc. I think the pitching change breaks are much worse, usually they interrupt exciting innings. Just make a rule you get 2 warm-up pitches on the game mound, just enough to introduce the pitcher and then get back at it. No commercial break.
  24. topper09er
    It is more and more looking like the only collusion going on is between Boras clients who he is counselling to all hold out in a united front
  25. topper09er
    Everyone keeps saying we need a TOR pitcher
