    Yea survive a couple weeks until some guys are back, maybe trade for a blah innings eater type. But its crazy to have been hit like this and somehow still be in 1st by this much
  2. tmwiese55
    yea that's why attacking him over it is overboard. He said exactly that with tons of caveats and did not pass it off good as again. He passed it off as there might be a possible sliver of hope for him not sucking.
  3. tmwiese55
    I mean yea, that's exactly what he said he was doing. He basically just said "hey the guy finally had two good starts after he's sucked for a long time, hopefully we get lucky here and get something out of him". That's it, nothing too crazy warranting all this

    I haven't done any digging on what SP might be available. But I'd guess we'd just be grabbing a mid level guy who hopefully costs very little to acquire. I'd question if higher level guys needing high prospects is really even out there, but even so with the gap from LA/Phi/ATL to us I don't think they should be forking over anyone significant. Get a league avg ok guy to hopefully eat some innings along with our guys coming off IL, hope you can get lucky in the playoffs.

    Yea after that incident I'm sure he's off the list and might have been anyway. Essentially you could get roughly the same thing out of Tyrone Taylor (Pharm probably a tad more reliable on O) for the same or less cost and you know the team likes him. Should be several other guys if you look around the bottom 12 teams.

    From what I can tell. One year 2.5 mil. Basically league min

    During the weekend I was thinking Pham is the exact level of player they could use to finish the year. Fine at D, right hand hitting league avg hitting OF, who costs very little in pay and little in cost to acquire. Knew he's had some personality issue type things in the past but it had been a few years. Then he goes 5 ft inside the baseline out of his way to try to run into a C, then he gets mad that the catcher gets upset about it, makes a scene and continues with it in postgame. So yea, think he's out and likely why he's toiling around on CWS. But, if Frelick/Chourio etc don't start hitting more this month a guy about his level would help

    I had it on in the background. He did an in game with the Cubs announcers. He really seemed a bit beaten down and no energy, basically sounded bored and not into it. Funny part of the broadcast is apparently the Cubs thought wearing their socks on the wrong feet today would really snap them out of their funk. Don't get me wrong, superstitions happen all over baseball and can be fun. But you can't like pre-plan one or kind of talk into happening. Something like that has to happen on accident, like Joe Schmo wears on wrong feet then hits 2 HRs that day and everyone realizes it, so everyone starts doing it

    Brian Kenney on MLB talks Mets a lot and how they should teardown and rebuild. In it he puts up the contracts they owe and its laughable how bad they are. Pretty much every one of them when signed people like us would've said 'well that'll be a bad contract' and they're all worse than we would've guessed. Things like 160 mil for Nimmo. Just a terrible spending spree where the agents had to just be laughing their way to the bank. All those "needle movers" have moved in the wrong direction. Yea, Stearns probably gets a 2-3 year pass here to clear through some of these contracts. Step one could be trading Alonso rather than paying him 300 mil that he won't live up to.

    With the lead they have and the state of the division they should be looking to add a Taylor/Canha level RH OF bat to finish the year. With the WS still being a longshot due to LA/ATL/PHI you don't need to chase a big name or anyone that would cost legit prospect capital. Just a proven RH league avg OFer who's fine at D. Add that person and Hoskins and you have a descent and deep lineup most days. Other things to note in this discussion, if his target is the 17th thats still several weeks where someone else can get hurt or even he has a delay of some kind. Someone always gets hurt though. I agree Chourio could use a 2-4 week breather to clear his head. Go back down, work on things, see himself hitting well again to get feeling right/confident again and then come back. But yea, with no other RH options it probably can't happen unless they trade for someone.

    At time of trade I think I was of the opinion that you'd probably get a similar return in the offseason so what was the rush messing with a playoff team. But, there was real fear that his slump could prolong and crater his offseason value. So I get it. Plus they brought back Rodgers as the 'insurance' for that year, unfortunately he flopped like Hader did too. Think of it from the perspective of if Rodgers is what he'd been then him vs Hader for 20 inning is negligible or at least greatly minimized. But even still they did well in this and as shrewd as it is unfortunately it is what has to be done in our market. Of course management doesn't get everything right, but this seems to be one they did. And returns look good so far on Burnes too.
  12. tmwiese55
    Yup. Was talking about this at the game Monday. Definitely their biggest thing the last 7ish years that has led to their success and overachievement. They churn over these pitchers every year and keep on producing. All the injuries this year and you throw guys like Wilson, Tobias and others out there and get your 3-4 innings somehow, and bullpen takes care of it. Of course this year without the top line starters we all have a 'how long can this continue' fear but here we are 1/3 of the way and its still humming
  13. tmwiese55
    Yea just get your 2/3 from them and move on. I think Philly during the week next so
  14. tmwiese55
    Sure in general you're probably right in that you probably have a higher floor. But our recent samples here don't' really help much. Mccutchen, Bradley Jr, Winker. Got value out of dumpster guys like Jesus, Rowdy, Perkins somewhat, and some others. I'd guess the lesson is there probably is no clear set formula and each is its own case. But in general, that 8-10 mil "proven vet" slot we've had the last few years has flopped, and likely led to them paying up for Hoskins instead. And if I had to guess the 'moneyball' on the value provided by getting that 8-10 mil guy over the league min isn't there in the sense that both have a good chance to be about league avg players. But one of course costs way more and you can take multiple swings at it with the saved money. Basic example say 2 years ago, chances are the difference between a Tyrone Taylor and McCutchen is going to be pretty negligible but one costs 8 mil the other is league min. But you're probably generally right in the sense that a McCutchen is less likely to be a complete disaster so is safer And tha'ts ignoring pitching where we've made a killing dumpster diving others castoffs
  15. tmwiese55
    Hoskins is back any day, which should be the end of miller
  16. tmwiese55
    I'm not a bunt guy but with that bad of a hitter as your RH option maybe just try to bunt along and move things along. Then again, the guy couldn't get anything over the plate so there's a logic of not just giving an out away when he might walk you. They did it that way a few weeks ago where someone bunted a 2-0 pitch that would've been ball 3
  17. tmwiese55
    He dominated Monday and had two days off. Sometimes guys just have bad days and no one is to blame. He wasn't going to keep a sub 1 era all year.
  18. tmwiese55
    My look alike on him from first time I saw was former Brewers great Jose Valentin
  19. tmwiese55
    Yea Bryse has been huge to hold down competency with all these people hurt. But yea it'll be nice when they get a starter back so he doesn't have to be relied on so much. He should be a great 2 inning guy out of the pen. Similar to what they're doing with Hudson. I'm guessing they wait for the IL guys to come back and see how it goes before trading for someone though
  20. tmwiese55
    Yup, probably overthought a bit tonight and of course he gets some wrong like everyone does. But obviously he's getting more right than wrong so far and getting them right at a clip better than most to be winning at this clip with this roster and injuries
  21. tmwiese55
    yea right on the elbow have to think that could be serious. Sucks if that really messes him, long time minor leaguer who works and grinds. Finally figures it out, plays great for a month. Then have that happen to mess it all up. And possibly costing him his chance to make real money
  22. tmwiese55
    Surprised Rock isn't seeing that balk. We'll see what the explanation is after game and I'm no expert but seemed he never stopped before starting his delivery. Heck, this is probably a rule I learned from Rock at some point
  23. tmwiese55
    Didn't think the blue was needed on that one...
  24. tmwiese55
    I can't believe Dunn stared at a strike 3 right down the middle. No way that guy should be PHing for anyone at this point. You're there for D position flex at this point, that's it.
  25. tmwiese55
    I saw a jersey at the game yesterday spelled Churio. Made me grab my phone and double check
