  1. For any dissenters, I’d like to make this point: After he signed, Aaron Ashby missed all of 2023 with a shoulder injury, had shoulder surgery, then had oblique issues, and still nobody is complaining about his contract. I’m glad he’s signed to it - I’m glad we have him. Obviously the dollars and structure aren’t going to look the same — but the point is that you do these deals and bad things happen, you can still operate as a small market team. It doesn’t really hurt.
  2. IMO, When the ball gets away from the catcher on Strike 3, and you just stand there in the batters box, that’s not a good look.
  3. In no way is Contreras having a good enough season to get green lighted on 3-0. Particularly with the bases empty. C’mon, man.
  4. Well, it also would help to not leave an 0-2 fastball out over the middle of the plate.
  5. If our expectation of Mears is for him to be perfect every game, we are in trouble. He’s been pretty dang good. Patrick was ineffective again and we had a several opportunities for more offense and couldn’t push more runs across. Heck, if Frelick doesn’t misplay that “triple” that Mears gave up, this is probably headed to extras right now.
  6. You’re going to have some of these over 162, but this one is really disappointing.
  7. Not Murphy’s most head scratching decision of the season, but it cracks the top 10.
  8. That’s a killer. If you’re going to try stealing there, you need to know you’re going make it. Otherwise, not worth the risk.
  9. I thought “probably” out, but in no way do I think that met overturn criteria.
  10. I actually think Turang had the play by a hair at 1st if he goes that way, contrary to what was said. But still, great looking play.
  11. I mean … Chourio hadn’t had one MLB plate appearance when he got his. So there’s precedent not to wait and see. Sure, you gain more certainty if you wait until the end of the season with Miz. But if he’s lights out all season and wins ROTY, he’s probably more inclined to play the long game and bet on himself than he would be right now.
  12. I suspect that we approach all our young starters as they come up with the opportunity for them to take life changing money now in exchange for taking a discount on their potential future earnings. When that is, I’m not certain — don’t know if we have anything like that yet for Miz, but I would never be opposed. It makes good business sense, and if something bad happens, it’s not franchise crippling. It’s like diversifying your portfolio. Burnes bet on himself, and won. Peralta took the early money, and it ended up being a great deal for us. No idea what the dollars would look like for Miz, but I imagine the structure would be the same as we often see in these deal, like with Chourio — money up front, and as many club options as we can tack onto the end. Just as a reminder — if we followed this for every young stud, we’d still be paying Keston Hiura (but it wouldn’t be crippling). I’d rather do this with every young potential star and take the risk that some won’t pan out, than venture too far out in free agency. Some just won’t do it — depends on the player, the agent, and their priorities. But it’s always worth the inquiry.
  13. Have to give him credit for going with the 4 out save to Megill, then. It was the right call and paid off. Things getting interesting I put mostly on Hall and Koenig. Hall wasn’t effective at all. Koenig needs to cover the bag. Those were the two biggest factors in the score getting as close as it did.
  14. Walks. Can’t do it, Hall. A big lead and you’re walking guys and all of the sudden a big lead has the potential to be a tie.
  15. I think he’s safe. Not sure enough to overturn or not. He came off the bag but Ortiz didn’t hold the glove on.
