    Yea and I'm not basing that off one game and I'm not saying he's not a good top level pitcher. Him being so is one of the reasons I was cautiously optimistic this postseason. I'm just saying he's not prime Verlander/Scherzer type good and that's what he's going to get paid like.

    F the luck of that Longoria catch. game changing play there. I think I've said it before, but I think whatever team hands Burns his 250+ mil deal is going to regret it. He's good but not true top top Cy Young level like the guys who have actually lived up to those type of contracts like Max, Cole, etc.

    Yea due to coming up at a later age so hitting FA at an older age this is why I thought he was the target to sign to an extension say 2-3 years ago to buy out 2-3 years of FA. He was at risk of having the Jimmy Nelson situation happen and if this is a major shoulder injury that could be exactly what happens here. Or he could've locked in life setting money a few years ago, but of course be forfeiting a possible say 200 mil payday if he made to FA healthy.. Of course we have no idea how any of those negotiations went so not like there is anyone to blame on either side. But overall really tough news to see. Of course for him overall, but just that this team's hope of knocking of juggernauts like ATL/LA is lightning in a bottle with these two true ace pitchers. Peralta of course has his Ace days too but also has those bad days that just end the game quickly.

    Yea and I've figured part of the rift with MKE the whole time was knowing he'd be operating on one year contracts the whole time. I would guess he's the type who would've preferred to lock in a guaranteed contract several years ago so he could have the money in the bank. And of course a team like MKE wasn't going to give a reliver a big long contract and he's clearly not willing to give a discount in order to get the deal done. I guess I'm just saying I bet he's been in big fear of injury that could cost him his payday for years. No one is really at fault here, it's just the system in place by MLB. I'll be curious if he gets an Aroldis Chapman type contract this offseason if he'll go back to being a bit more flexible on this stuff since he has the 50+ mil in the bank

    LA for #34 too. Shaq, Bo Jackson, Fernando

    Yes good post, truly one of the best and hopefully he sticks around at least one more year (assuming they do a kind of final go for it with this core). The few folks going on their rants two-ish weeks to go seem not be keeping that thread going for some reason. Also, props to him and whoever else is in charge of the bullpen from all angles: scouting, acquiring, development, daily coaching/management. Every year they turn over several guys and find and/or fix more guys to fill in and they've been doing it for years now.

    Surprising the #3 division winner wouldn't automatically get the home field. Have you checked that? I just assumed it would be that way, thinking about it I suppose it will come up in the AL this year for sure since MN is much worse than the #2 team in the AL East. ETA: quick find on MLB.com with a 'current playoff bracket' setup and it has it listed at #6 AT #3 Twins. So it seems the division winner does get the automatic 3 seed and homefield. Although on re-read of the original post I see you might have been focused purely in terms of WC in case we somehow lost division.

    Yea in general I'd agree it would be cool and make sense for some development in the lots or the big open spaces between the park and the casino seems ripe for it too. However, I see it from the team's perspective to just leave as it is. Big development obviously would be a bunch of upfront capital on the hopes it comes back down the line. Or, invest nothing and continue to easily collect a few million pure profit per year. For folks who haven't gone to many games this year, preferred parking is now $40 on the weekends. They've essentially doubled parking prices in the last 5 years with no massive capital investment. Also, side note I don't think I saw mentioned on here. At Saturday's game it was raining/storming outside and there was some clear leaking from the roof on the 1B side.

    Wait, so they're building it i the same location that everyone says is the main issue with attendance at the current one? They're not correcting the obvious problem? I'm not familiar with all the Tampa area geography so please correct if I'm misreading this.

    Saw it mentioned above of the scenario of Trout for Yelich straight up is interesting question for a message board to BS about. I know its all hypotheticals due to both having no trades. Same age. 5/130 so 26 per year left for Yelich. 7/248 so 35 per left for Trout. Trout is the vastly superior player when healthy. Yelich has been healthier but was basically replacement/average the last two years and good this year before the slump now. LAA taking Yelich's anchor contract back is similar to kicking in money. Due to MKE's financial constraints I would suspect they just cannot take on this money and would say No. However, I do think I would do it and take the gamble. A year ago Yelich was completely untradeable if you can now swap him out for a top 5 player when healthy I'd do it and then figure it out lately. I just think Trout would still be the more valuable 'asset' and more likely you could re-trade down the line when you need to cut costs (maybe eating some money though). Again, I'm ignoring no trades for the hypothetical. I know it's close/debatable and I do assume MKE says No just purely financially but after seeing two years of Yelich being so bad I can't get it out of my head as what could be the over the next 5 years and I'd rather take this risk.

    Yea I thought it was funny yesterday you could use Cruz everywhere. So it was to save him for last. I only got 7 today and gave up after 5 or so minutes. I can't believe I struggled with Phi/Stl so much, especially after seeing the top answer. Missed Det/Phi too but not surprised I don't know Det well.

    One patch, that's all?
  13. tmwiese55
    5 runs allowed in 4 games. Kinda nuts.
  14. tmwiese55
    Generally speaking the body language and effort has seemed off or not good through this series. Maybe its just dealing with this pitching but hopefully that bodes well for next week and getting at least 2/3 there and wrapping this up
  15. tmwiese55
    Am I remembering correctly there is a control advantage if Weimer had gone down for a few weeks too. Not that its huge as he's not some mega prospect but still. It seems sending down for 3 weeks to try to clean up the swing along with gaining that would've made sense. Bring him back up at end of year for D subs and/or pinch running if you want. Probably a AAAA type guy out there to easily grab to cover a few weeks and be passable.
  16. tmwiese55
    I might be crazy but one has to wonder what the point of hitting coaches are if they continue to allow Weimer to do what he's been doing with his hands. Like if they're not allowed to tinker with that, players reject or demand to figure that stuff out on their own etc then why are they there. He doesn't have to be sent down to work on this, he's had tons of off days and it's such an obvious thing to clean up every day in BP

    FYI the alternate one I linked to has Brewers on it today.
  18. tmwiese55
    Nice, only 8/9. Missed the Bos ROY. Went with Devers although I thought he did struggle a bit rookie year. Maybe would've gotten to Nomar if I spent more time but not sure. ETA: Did get 9/9 on the other today but it was also big markets. Angels/NYY took me longer than it should
  19. tmwiese55
    Yea that was surprisingly tricky because back in the day there wasn't so many Ks. But I'd have thought pitching so many more innings would balance it. and I think the same day had batters who struck out 150 times. Also a bit tricky as really that didn't happen a long time ago. Yea certainly a decent way to blow 5-10 mins a day. I'd say in general I usually get 8. Don't remember ever not getting 7. Maybe get 9 25% of the days or a bit less. https://www.crossovergrid.com/ This site also has other sports along with their own baseball one most days. I usually just do the baseball and NBA

    probably out but maybe was worth it in the 8th since its so late why not. OTOH, he probably shouldn't have bothered trying. Had the big insurance run at 3rd with 1 out. But it's good to see him hustling and trying along with two good games to start
  21. tmwiese55
    For sure, that is her one quirk phrase. But if you pay attention she has no "umms", "But Umms", "you knows", "uhhs". She's clearly worked to clean out all those but this is her one thing and technically its way better than all those
  22. tmwiese55
    Cubs are likely the weakest team but I'd still cut them out due to the home field being lost and the extra annoyance if they were to lose to them. IMO Philly is clearly the best team of the 3 so take them out. So I'm left with AZ.
  23. tmwiese55
    Nah that's a skewed stat. Chances are if he didn't suck since arriving he'd have been used in higher leverage spots. I really don't care about the argument but soon as I read that I thought "uhh not quite". OF course it still might be true, who knows and I don't care, but I don't think that stat 'proves' it.
  24. tmwiese55
    Can pick on Chafin all you want and act like he was a horrible pickup, which of course he has been since results matter. But the guy has been a good solid reliver for a number of years. There was nothing to bash about that pickup. Sometimes relievers have their bad spells and it so happens he's been on one since he got to MKE. I was hoping he'd figured it out as he'd a few good games there in a row but after yesterday yea he's right down to the bottom of them trusting again. It just hasn't worked out and he's in a funk now, but just saying he's been good for years. I'm sure no one feels worse about than him, especially as I'm assuming he's a FA and this is costing him from getting a good reliever contract to likely league min next year.

    And the red hot Cubs lose two straight to the floundering D-Backs, this is baseball. I assume the sky is falling on Cubs boards now too. Scratch out a win tonight and back to a 3 game lead with 22 games left.
