Looks to me like they should be ok. Weather report only indicates a 20% chance of rain between 6 and 9 tonight at Shea.

What could Braun bring from anyone? (2017 version)
adambr2 replied to pete's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
We've already beaten to death why I think your first paragraph here is a bad way of looking at things, but I really don't understand the 2nd paragraph here. We extended Braun in 2011 because he was giving us such an amazing deal on his first contract? I'm pretty sure we weren't just looking to do Braun a solid because his 8 year contract was looking good, and if we were, that's a horrible way to conduct business especially when you're throwing around $105M. It's extremely rare to buy out someone's mid to late 30 years when at the time we already had him under control for FIVE more years. I didn't think it was worth that risk at the time and still don't. So, that's not a situation where we can just shrug and say 'Big deals are going to be horrible their last few years.' We didn't HAVE to give that big extension. And we already know that the Dodgers' offer included McCarthy, Puig, and 2 prospects, and given Braun's contract, age and history, we already know that's not a lowball offer regardless of who the 2 prospects were. -

First and second paragraph you claim Braun doesn't have a bad contract. Then you go on to say, 'Well, every team has bad contracts, right?' And if the 50M teenager is a stud, who ends up costing 100M for 6-7 years, that will obviously have been well worth it. If you're asking right now would I rather have Ryan Braun for 80M or a top 30 prospect for 50M given a choice between one or the other, I'd much, much rather have the prospect. You're right, he won't be traded, because there are no trade partners for him. People seem to wistfully remember Braun for what he was and not really for what he is now. Braun can probably still give a good .850 OPS or so but when there's no DH spot for you and you have a highly negative defensive value, there's not much value to that 850 OPS. -

Well he is currently a 0 WAR player this year despite being 'right on track.' So yeah, I'd say 1 WAR this year is highly plausible. -
Rattlers, Shuckers, and Sky Sox all got beat too. Mudcats were off, so at least there's that . wanna kick my dog while you're at it?!? If it helps, the Cardinals lost again and the Cubs are down 4 to the Padres. At least we keep losing to professional baseball teams.
-
Because Sogard is a career journeyman utility player who has over 1,200 career ABs that show he's a mediocre player, and 10 hits didn't change that. Maybe if they were a contender and concerned with every possible win over development right now, they might have tried to ride the hot streak. But since they're rebuilding they have to see if guys like Villar and Perez have a future here.
-
I forgot Hughes was even on the team.

Sounds like you gave up on him a long time ago. About 30 seconds of looking through my post history would tell you that you're wrong about that. I really thought this pen move had a chance to be a turning point in Wily's career. And you still have to give him more time. But so far he looks like the same guy, and frankly, I'm not sure he has the poise and confidence to handle high leverage situations.
-
I give up on Wily. He's a lost cause. Nice walk to put a runner in scoring position, Wily. And great clutch hitting tonight, Brewers. Maybe you can just count on the Cardinals and Cubs losing every game the rest of the season.
-
Having to catch Wily with the game on the line and a man on 3rd has to be a terrifying task.
-
He probably does. Probably can't get righties out on the mound either.
-
Fat lady is warming up.
-
Braun would have torn both calves trying to hit the brakes like Pina just did in these field conditions.
-
Guess 'conclusive' isn't the same thing as it was in the Arizona series.
-
Nice work Bullpen Wily. Had me worried when he started the inning by falling behind 3-0 on Granderson but recovered nicely.
-
Smoker had like an 8 ERA coming into today, and we're just making him look like Andrew Miller.
-
This umpire just flat out stinks. All over the place on the borderline calls.
-
Too bad, some long ABs but nothing to show for them.
-
Gameday showed the 1-2 as well within the strike zone.
-
Bandy popped it up a mile high to the SS, the SS camped under it for a couple seconds, the ball started it's decent, the SS realized his grave mistake and started to back pedal....too late. LOL, that's fantastic...hope we can take advantage and win this...
-
What happened on the 2 run error?
-
Tough matchup for him, but Shaw has been pitiful tonight in key situations . Two routine flyballs by him would have been enough for 2 runs.
-
should have? No. Could have. Lets not act like it was a clear strike. It scraped the strike zone at best. Would have been nice to have that Strike 3 that scraped the strike zone with Shaw up and Thames on 3rd called a ball in a similar situation.
-
Honestly, we are what we are. A very average at best team that happens to be in first only because the rest of the division happens to be struggling just as much. Neither the Cardinals nor the Cubs are bad enough to struggle much longer, and I expect to be several games down in the division by the end of June.
