    Live I thought that was hit too hard and they might not send since only 1 out and good hitters coming up. Obviously that turned out correct, but as I thought about it required a perfect throw and a bonkers catch to get him. So can't say it was wrong. Hard to believe the C caught that ball. He basically closed his eyes and got lucky on it

    Probably won't win another game all year

    I hadn't heard of those bonusses until the post above, I think that's pretty clear reason there. Also, someone mentioned someone claiming him. I didn't even consider that with how he's played, hopefully someone does that and gives a bit extra deadline money to play with
  4. tmwiese55
    Maybe he was given the choice of this or an IR stint with no guarantees on a spot when he's eligible to come back? Not that I'm too worked up about it, but I'd rather have the depth hanging around for two more weeks than not. Never know who else gets hurt or someone does really poorly.
  5. tmwiese55
    Kinda true, but he's just been hurt and we all know how elbows go. Once one things happens that's usually not it. So there is a fairly significant chance once you trade for him that something else happens and then you just traded a lot of capital for like 4 starts. And if you're him in this situation, any pain you should sit out rather than risk TJ. If he was having his normal dominant year cruising along with no issues, I'd probably be indifferent/ok with it. With the injury, I think its enough for me to pass unless the cost is much less than we all assume.
  6. tmwiese55
    Generally true. They also just might not be clicking together, although Murphy's defense of him the other day is probably an indicator that he's a good locker room guy and willing to do what is asked. But he's probably hoping to get signed by an Angels type team and see if he can stick in the bigs. If he can't find anything better he could always come back to us I think. With all our injuries I'd assume we'd have preferred he hung around aaa, especially since Murphy seemed to vouch for him as a guy

    Isn't that what they currently have in the 3rd deck now, 300 Club or whatever they call it now. I guess they're not getting the buyin on those since they're too high up? IDK, I'm not sure there is enough super rich and big corps to buy this up at the level of most other big cities so it would be better leave it generally as is and do something else to try and court those rich people/businesses. As you say, maybe shifting the 300 level stuff to somewhere in the 2nd or just making the 300 club better. I've only had tickets in it once, for a weekday playoff game vs AZ 3ish years ago and it was basically dead, not crowded, etc
  8. tmwiese55
    Oh gotcha, its the same for everyone. Duh, I did know that.

    The trade idea thread on Bauers mentioned how we wouldn't risk the QO on him so wouldn't get anything. I didn't see it mentioned as to what the best guess would be on that QO? Due to his limited track record it shouldn't be anything too crazy right? If he continues to do well all season maybe giving that and hoping he accepts as a one year stopgap to some youths coming up could be in the cards. Other relevant info is Vaughn will be ARB eligible and assuming a modest bump for him he'll be in the 10 mil range. If Bauers QO is in the same area I would think to go with him (assuming a good finish to the season) since he's strong side of the platoon and has the OF flex if needed. And generally speaking, I don't think they'll pay both.
  10. tmwiese55
    Good post. Just adding the key for Lara is do they think he can do more than at least one of Mitchell/Frelick to the point they'd actually play him every day. In addition, with how Bauers and Vaughn keep hitting you're almost at the point where they both have to play nearly every day. In that case, Lara would have to expected to play nearly every day over both Mitchell & Frelick to warrant coming up
  11. tmwiese55
    even worse, we cut him to trade for someone else last season just to have that person play like 5 games. then signed Sanchez. Could have just had Haase the whole time for nothing and he's perfectly fine/adequate for a backup C on a team that almost never plays its backup C
  12. tmwiese55
    Woodford was one that made no sense to me when they got him considering he had no options, quite the opposite of our normal target. Perhaps they thought they could fix him and make him a legit starter, but obviously they've been wrong and should just move once guys are healthy. Also really never got axing Haase either. seemed to get a hit or walk every time we played him. Willy never sits, so didn't get trading for a backup C last year. Hopefully its just a bad day but if both pitchers have to hit the IL this could be a bid butterfly effect day of the season.
  13. tmwiese55
    And 25-30 mil per year each to Adames and Chapman for another 5ish years too. They're in really bad shape
  14. tmwiese55
    With how bad SF is I don't think this is over. However, also not sure how much we're going to want to blow through the pen today. I suppose a fresh arm can come tomorrow for Crow. Possibly two if they decide Hall needs IL
  15. tmwiese55
    But was looking at as another guy to trust to do the 4-5 inning thing though, not the traditional 'starter'. Hoping add him to the up/down from AAA cycle on it to eat some innings. The Patrick, Sproat, Drohan, Hall, Henderson types. With how he looked and how legit his curve looked thought he could be in that group, not so much after today. Hopefully Gasser's game yesterday is a good sign that he can. But as of now I don't love having to put either of them out there. IDK, maybe with the need for a real starter right now they should revisit Hall getting back to be a somewhat normal SP (of course it'll take a few starts to get him up to 90-100 pitches though). See if one last try at that could work
  16. tmwiese55
    Well I guess a little less trust in Crow as an option going forward.
  17. tmwiese55
    Well, yes if you're the 3 seed it sucks. However, the reward/incentive is to keep playing hard all year to get top 2 seed and a bye though. Remember this format was done to correct the old 4 team playoff in which winning the division literally didn't matter other than homefield so if two teams (Bos/NYY in that era) were running away with the division it didn't matter who won it. And if you were way ahead in your division didn't need to chase the 2 seeds The system in between was the stupid 1 game playoff where yes winning the division was the same for all (and avoided the 1 game) but in that one there was no bye reward for top 2 seed, was bs if you were a WC in a loaded division while crap team won different division, and in general 1 game playoffs in baseball had to go. If you accept that playoff expansion was gonna happen to some degree (and don't want even more) this is about the best you can do. Essentially, there's always gonna be a flaw no matter what you do

    Crow is on normal rest and they left him on the roster instead of sending down after the start. He pitched generally fine and likely would've gone 5 with 1 run if not for the botched DP. They know more than me but I'm not sure why the decision on who starts today is much of a decision, unless wanted to do an 'opener' of some kind before him.
  19. tmwiese55
    A lot of this discussion probably comes down to Woodruff and if can come back by end of June and generally pitch a normal workload to finish the year. That helps them be able to shuffle guys up and down or with IL stints to take a break. I'm with the person who is not planning on anything from Priester at this point. Essentially, just saying adding Woodruff would be the equivalent of adding someone via trade. I'd also throw out that Crow can be added to this mix of the guys sharing this workload going up and down. He looks legit to me and someone you can trust for starts
  20. tmwiese55
    Without the injury I'd probably have a fairly open mind since he's at such a difference maker level to really help the percentages. But, with this injury there and that if he has any other flare ups with it that he'd be a moron to pitch again this season, I'd stay away. Of course, any P can get hurt but once this starts happening it often lingers and in his personal situation he'd be really unwise to try and pitch through it and risk the contract if a TJ does happen from it. With Det playing so poorly in May I assume that's why all of a sudden his rapid comeback is on hold, there is no reason to push it, especially for a new team he has no loyalty to. What Sabathia did risking himself right before FA is a huge outlier, not the norm. Note, he has had TJ one already as well

    I was pleasantly surprised by the local TV being agreed upon by the teams. Trying to think it through, is there any reason the MLBPA would be opposed to that specifically? In that it leads or starts the walk towards a more true 'cap' is the only reason I'm quickly coming up with. Or that, if NY/LAD have to give an extra 70 mil each per year to a 'cheap' owner that won't spend it (or is barred from spending it by the cap). But at least, the owners are fine with it. That's one battle I expected that doesn't seem to be there
  22. tmwiese55
    Right, that's what tough to grasp in this discussion. Sometimes not doing the move is more trying to win it all than a a short term 'go for it'. It just tougher to see and takes more patience to do it. So in a sense it's harder and takes discipline to stick to it, but it can actually be the route that is 'trying' more. I guess, its really the crux of the whole debate
  23. tmwiese55
    Also, Ohtani barely pitched in '18, '19, 20' as he was getting his feet wet and then got hurt right way. so he was only the two way juggernaut in three years 21-23, and he get hurt at the end of '23 (if I remember correctly)
  24. tmwiese55
    Yes, right now WAS wouldn't even have him available with how well they're playing and hanging around the playoff race. Or, to get him yea you might have to greatly overpay. I guess it gets me thinking, a true 'all in' would be if WAS does tail off, like they should, and you pony up big time on the prospects and get him and Wood. You'd have both for a few years and they should fill the holes on O. Think what that would cost though and all it would do is change your % of winning the WS by 2-5%. While possibly costing you making the playoffs for a few years 6ish years from now, possibly giving a 0% a few times
  25. tmwiese55
    Right, it all depends on how the rest of the year goes and on injuries, and I agree both of those have great potentiall. I think the initial point was more around that we faced LAD with our bottom 3 starters, or maybe better phrased as 'without using our top 2' guys. So considering that winning 1 and being in both of the other games prior to one blow up inning is understandable. Mostly though these recent posts reminded me of something I've been thinking lately. Which is come playoffs I hope they continue to play and manage game pitching generally the same way they do through the year. Rather than going wild with openers and planning to use 8 relivers, etc. Rather use the general normal starting pitcher for 4-6 innings based on results, then use your relivers in the same roles/spots they've been used all year.
