  1. Carolina will need the crookedest of numbers bottom of nine to come back from this one, trailing 12-4. Patricio Aquino worked around 9 H to only allow 1 R over 5 IP with 0 BB and 4 K before the bullpen blew things up. Dylan O’Rae (1-3, HBP, SB), Jadher Areinamo (1-3, BB), Tayden Hall (1-4, 2B), Jesus Chirinos (1-3, HR, HBP) and Jace Avina (2-4, 2B) did what they could.
  2. TRats trailing 8-2 in the 8th. Luis Lara (2-4, SB, CS), Brock Wilken (1-3, 2B) and Jheremy Vargas (2-2, BB) having the best days with the bats. Teheran went 3 IP | 1 R | 3 H | 0 BB | 4 K in his rehab start.
  3. Biloxi falls 6-4 with Isaac Collins (0-3, BBx2), Jeferson Quero (1-5, 2B), Wes Clarke (2-4, BB), Freddy Zamora (2-3, BB) and Ernesto Martinez (3-4, 2B) having the big days on offense. Best pitching line in the box was James Meeker giving up 1 R over 4.1 relief IP with 4 H | 1 BB | 1 K.
  4. Nashville wins 7-3 with Jahmai Jones (2-4, 2B, BB), Owen Miller (2-4, 2B), Tyler Black (2-5) and Payton Henry (1-3, BB) all reaching multiple times. Gasser gave up 3 R over 6 IP before Jason Alexander, Ethan Small and JB Bukauskas threw a scoreless frame each to close it out.
  5. ACL crew takes a 2-0 lead bottom of three via Yeison Perez walk, Cooper Pratt single and Juan Baez double.
  6. The guy I’ll probably always sync up Strasburg with in my mind is Chris Sale. Both were considered “injury prone” even during their mostly healthy and overlapping primes, then both fell apart after delivering WS titles and signing big extensions. 2012-19 Strasburg 1,346 IP (17th) | 79 ERA- (9th) | 76 FIP- (6th) | 30.9 rWAR (10th) | 33.2 fWAR (6th). 2012-18 Sale 1,388 IP (6th) | 70 ERA- (2nd) | 68 FIP- (2nd) | 39.3 rWAR (3rd) | 39.2 fWAR (3rd). Here’s a few other recent-ish guys with long runs of ace quality but not quite the quantity typically needed for the HOF… 2014-23 deGrom 1,356 IP (18th) | 65 ERA- (2nd) | 64 FIP- (1st) | 42.7 rWAR (3rd) | 42.6 fWAR (3rd). 2002-08 Johan 1,413 IP (13th) | 64 ERA- (1st) | 74 FIP- (3rd) | 45.5 rWAR (1st) | 36.9 fWAR (2nd). 2008-13 Cliff Lee 1,333 IP (5th) | 71 ERA- (2nd) | 70 FIP- (1st) | 38.5 rWAR (1st) | 38.1 fWAR (1st) 2009-14 Felix 1,394 IP (1st) | 70 ERA- (2nd) | 72 FIP- (3rd) | 38.5 rWAR (2nd) | 37.2 fWAR (2nd).
  7. "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty was playing on the radio at work and I said to my coworker, "Man, Tom really is Petty if he won't back down. I heard Tom Reasonable will consider changing his mind when presented with compelling evidence to the contrary." I also received a blank stare.
  8. This says they have the 8th largest market in MLB, though the Orioles have had territorial rights forever so I believe there is/has been ongoing dispute over TV money from MASN. MLBTR has the Lerners among the half dozen richest owners in terms of personal wealth.
  9. From 2008-10, the Nationals went 187-298, only the Pirates at 186-299 were worse. From 2012-19 the Nationals went 730-566, only the Dodgers at 757-540 were better. From 2020-today the Nationals have gone 204-307, only the Pirates at 199-312 have been worse.
  10. Looks like Stras still has three years and $105M left on his contract. Wonder if he will officially retire and forego that money or get put on the Medically Unable to Perform list or whatever it was that Prince ended up on to still get paid through the end of his deal.
  11. Yeah, bummer all around for Ohtani. Will be curious to see how it impacts his free agency. If he wants a ten year deal, you gotta figure he’s only gonna be pitching seven, eight of those years tops. I’ll still take the over on 499.5 million, though.
  12. Not to mention Carter struck out 32.0% of the time in 2016, which shook out to a 156 K%+. Alonso strikes out 21.2% of the time in 2023, which shakes out to a 94 K%+.
  13. Cubs pretty much need to go 4-2 (to get the tiebreaker) or 5-1 (to close the gap outright) in their remaining games against the Brewers. Anything short of that would make things a lot tougher for them. Tankathon has their remaining strength of schedule pretty close with the Brewers at .486 vs .498 for the Cubs.
  14. If the Yankees lose tonight it will be their first ten game losing streak since 1913. If they finish the year under .500, it will be their first time doing so since 1992. Been a bad year for big spenders, by Cot’s OD payroll rank…#1 NYM (59-68) #2 NYY (60-65) #3 SDP (60-67) #6 LAA (61-65)
  15. Wainwright has 3 W in 17 GS this year, with the last one coming two months ago, and he needs to pick up two more dubs to get to 200 with what…six starts left? That first start outta the break has gotta sting, left after five up 5-2 but the bullpen blew the lead in the 6th/7th. He’s been credited with the loss in each of his five starts since. They might be better served moving him to the pen and bringing him into tie games to try and vulture those last two?
  16. I love Alonso, he’d be the best hitter we’ve had since Adames put up a 136 wRC+ in 2021. But he’s also looking at around $20M for his last year of Arby’s, so even if you wanted to project him at 5 WAR (which he hasn’t cracked since his rookie year), that’s still only like $25M in surplus value on the high end. He’d be the perfect “all in” bat for 2024 if they decided to hold all of Burnes, Woodruff and Adames. Could conceivably QO all four and set up ridiculous for the 2025 draft.
  17. If the Brewers end the season 18-18, the Cardinals would have to go 33-2 to finish higher in the standings.
  18. For the rest of this year they have Toro, Black, Devanney and Dorrian as 3B options in AAA. Of course Urias has an established MLB track record and none of those guys aside from Toro do, but with Luis’s performance thus far in 2023 there’s no guarantee he’d return to those 21-22 numbers, just as Willy or Rowdy or Tyrone haven’t been able to replicate their 21-22 success in 23. Even with no moves, they will likely open next year with organizational 3B depth something like… MLB: Monasterio AAA: Black AA: Wilken A+: Adams A: Bitonti/Baez The no third baseman storyline looks to be wrapping up shortly too.
  19. Because at the time of the trade he had hit for a 59 wRC+ in MLB and an 84 wRC+ in AAA. It appears as though the Brewers didn’t believe he’d be worth his Arby’s number this offseason, and they had two 3B who were outperforming him already on the roster, so they traded him for a talented arm. It’s cool that Luis hit two grand slams, but he had a 45 wRC+ with Boston before that, and even then he had three days off before the first grand slam, then a day off after, then another day off after the second one so he isn’t even playing every day.
  20. Believe they moved the Sunday games for SDP, LAD and LAA up to Saturday doubleheaders in anticipation of the looming hurricane.
  21. Angels called up their 2022 first rounder Zach Neto two weeks into this season after only 44 minor league games. Believe the last guy to go straight from the draft to MLB skipping the affiliated minors entirely was Mike Leake with the Reds back in 2010, but he was a 2009 draftee and did throw in the AZ Fall League. Paul Skenes could be up pretty quick next year too. Looks like the Nats gave Strasburg eleven starts at AA/AAA the year after getting drafted before he got the MLB call.
  22. Man, if they push Yophery to Carolina that could be a really fun lineup between him, Pratt, Bitonti, O’Rae, Baez and then guys like Satchell Norman and maybe even Reece Walling that’ll be getting bumped up too.
  23. Yeah, there have only been 30 qualified seasons with at least 60 SB since 1991. Might see it more with the new rules/bigger bases. A few guys got close though, 1991 Rickey (18/58), 2006 Crawford (18/58), 2006 Reyes (19/64) and (drumroll please) 2016 Villar (19/62).
  24. Eric Davis went 27/80 in 1986 and then 37/50 in 1987. Rickey has a few too. 24/80 in 1985, 28/87 in 1986, 28/65 in 1990.
