I commented to my dad earlier that Brault seems to work at a Doug Davis pace.
-
Am I imagining it, or did it look like it grazed the pole and slightly changed trajectory?
-
Cain is really tough to watch right now. I hope this is just an extended bad stretch and not the new normal or these last 3 years of his contract are going to look pretty bad.
-
Good edit, Nah, a good edit would have been sneaking a lightning fast delete before anyone got the chance to quote it.
-
Waste of time. He's safe. EDIT: Well, I know nothing. Can't believe that was overturned. Must have been an angle we didn't see.
-
You gotta make that send with 2 outs. I am as critical of Sedar as anyone but that's the right call no matter what happens. Nobody out, different story.
-
There's nothing wrong with batting the pitcher 8th. Statistically over time it has shown to be a very slight advantage over batting the pitcher 9th. It's not the reason we're struggling offensively.
-
And Davies gets done what Hiura and Aguilar couldn't. Well done.
-
Just DFA Aguilar already.
-
Much as I like Thames he has a career .659 OPS against lefites. He just isn't going to start against them pretty much ever.
-
Davies is going to have another garbage outing if he keeps up the kind of location he did in the 1st. He is extremely lucky to have only allowed 1 run of damage.
-
I'm not saying Zach Davies is worthless, just that he's not worth much. I felt the same way when he was leading the NL in ERA. He's got a career FIP and xFIP right in line with guys like Jhoulys Chacin and Chase Anderson. While I'm not saying guys like this are a dime a dozen, they aren't that valuable, either. We've been filling our rotation with pitchers of this ilk for years and they're pretty easily available. Guys like Gio Gonzalez and Wade Miley are available these days on short deals in free agency for a few million bucks. Woodruff is the only guy in our current rotation whose stuff, peripherals, upside, cost control and production all translates into a coveted asset. The other guys are just filler
-
To me Woodruff seems really undervalued, Davies seems really overvalued and Boyd seems about right. In no universe is Davies worth more than Woodruff and I would easily trade Davies with whatever middling prospect is worth 3 to land Boyd but would not trade Woodruff for Boyd. I understand these aren't a perfect science and data is constantly changing and I'm sure impossible to keep up with. 2 months ago Davies probably was leading the NL in ERA and Woodruff was still struggling.
-
Yelich doesn't strike me as a guy who is going to be all that successful in the derby. Then again, I never thought he'd be a 30+ HR guy to begin with and here we are, so what do I know?

I'd do that in a second as well. I'd have to think the Jay's wouldn't, despite the valuations lining up. Stroman and Giles would be a huge get and I'd be willing to include Turang in a deal to land those two. -
Am I wrong to think if Boyd is worth that much, then Woodruff should be worth even more? The breakout numbers for each are very, very similar this year. Woodruff is younger, has more club control and had better numbers coming into 2019. I'm not suggesting trading Woodruff, just speaking in terms of valuation.

They don't really have a pecking order in the pen per se. It's basically Hader on one tier, and then a bunch of dudes on the next tier.
-
The Orioles are the first team in MLB history to record back to back shutouts and win by at least 13 runs in both games. Of course it would be the Orioles.
-
The horrible nickname "Salad Man" seems rather suitable for Saladino so far.
-
Thames has a .915 OPS. Just like that.
-
I don't think we are in a position to be declining Thames' option next year at this point.
-
Very interesting comments I just heard pregame on Arcia. Counsell basically came out and said they haven't been happy with Arcia's defense and it isn't meeting expectations. So they want to see if someone else can help there. What hasn't been said is why that opportunity isn't going to Dubon. Maybe they're hesitant to trust a rookie -- but it's not like things are going well anyway.
-
Yeah this Arcia thing is a bit weird. It's not like he's been Shaw level struggling lately. You don't bring someone like Arcia off the bench, you either start him here or in AAA, and if it's AAA I agree you call up Dubon for him. This just ...doesn't really make much sense. Unless they think that Saladino has suddenly morphed into a great hitter, you might as well have just kept Perez and plugged him in every day at SS if you wanted to get Arcia out of the lineup.
-
I'm still stunned that Villar turned down a 20M+ extension after 2016.
-
I don't see Davies having a great market right now. He's more of an offseason trade candidate for a team looking to fill out their rotation without dipping into free agency. Contenders won't be interested right now as they can see the same recent decline in performance as we see. He's not all that intriguing for sellers either. Just a #4 type arm that, as you said, starts to get more expensive soon. I could see Davies getting dealt in the winter. But probably not right now.
