    Lucroy brought in one good prospect and two so-so prospects and Lucroy was packaged with Jeffress in case you forgot about that. Grandal could bring in at least one decent prospect not sure how that is absurd. Grandal for a top 25-40 prospect wouldn't be out of the question. Why does there have to be a deal in MLB history seems like you are just randomly spewing out garbage. Uh no, your lack of understanding doesn't make it garbage, I supported my points quite thoroughly. "Why does there have to be a deal in MLB history" as you asked, uh gee, perhaps to show that there is some sort of precedence for your suggested trade. Did not think that was an unreasonable ask. Yes, I already mentioned that Jeffress was included had you read my initial post on this on the first page. That supports my point, not yours. Yes, Grandal for a top 25-40 prospect is out of the question. That's more than Manny Machado brought back and even HE was cheaper than Grandal. Unless you think Yasmani Grandal is going to be in the NL MVP conversation in July it's an extreme overvalue. A significant part of Lucroy's worth came from him NOT being a rental AND a far cheaper contract which gave him significantly more surplus value. JosephC could break this down better than me, but surplus value is the main part of this equation that you're missing. It's not just which catcher is better when traded. Lucroy had a 5.25M team option for '17 that probably added $20M alone in surplus value.

    Grandal is not bringing back a Lucroy type return and I have no idea why people think that. That's essentially a Realmuto type return. Lucroy having that extra year of control was enormous. Grandal is a pure rental. Not even a cheap one. He's a major salary factor for many teams at the deadline. He cost 4 times what Lucroy cost. Also, he's good, but we're not talking the prime of Ivan Rodriguez here. Many teams question his defense, and he's slowed down offensively. I find the idea that 3 months of Grandal could net a package similar to Lucroy's deal to be absolutely absurd. Please name one time in MLB history when a rental catcher was traded for a significant haul. If it were that easy, teams would strategically sign an expensive rental every year just to flip them and restock the farm every summer. We'd go get Kuechel and Kimbrel right now just to pay them for 3 months and trade them.

    Cool story Ender, you do you and keep on keeping on with your high quality posts. You seem like a real likable dude.

    Thats cool, I have reached my tipping point with people saying things that make no sense and then defending it when questioned. There is no way that someone who really gets baseball thinks Guerra has been good this season. If he wants to piss on me because I look at meaningful stats instead of a 17 IP sample of ERA which takes 500 IP to start to become meaningful so be it. This forum has been corrupted by knee jerk low knowledge posters to the point it is hard to stomach visiting at this point. I actually have him on ignore because of the consistent low quality posts but I made the mistake of clicking on display this one time. Anyone referencing ERA in a 17 IP sample just doesn't get baseball, it means absolutely nothing in that sample. (Shrug) Not everyone here really follows baseball on a deep analytical level, and that's okay. We're all just fans anyway.

    Other than Hader, I think you are seriously overestimating the trade value of these guys.
  6. adambr2
    Another chance...
  7. adambr2
    Pitch 7 to Conforto was borderline. Pitch 1 was a strike. Ugh.
  8. adambr2
    Yep. That's just poor baseball IQ.
  9. adambr2
    Ender, I enjoyed reading your posts for years and I always found then to be knowledgeable and informative. But man, the last couple years it's just been post after post of constantly talking down to people.

    Can has had some really bad ABs lately. That was one of them. Got ahead in the count, then started hacking.
  11. adambr2
    Drew Gagnon. Didn't we trade this guy for Jett Bandy or something?
  12. adambr2
    Houser is going to be this year's version of Jorge Lopez. No idea on a day to day basis whether he's at MLB or AAA.
  13. adambr2
    This is getting really annoying.

    Fox sports camera crews - a replay shot from the 1B side stands is not going to give us any clue if a ball is fair or foul.

    Shaw is terrible. Complete hibernation for this offense in extras.
  16. adambr2
    Well he fortunately never got a chance. Hopefully we win it this inning. ..
  17. adambr2
    You know that Keon will hit a 3 run shot off us if given the chance, because that's just the kind of thing that happens to the Brewers.
  18. adambr2
    Too close to overturn, but you never know what they're going to do in New York. If the roles were reversed I would have been expecting an overturn.
  19. adambr2
    Great to see Braun starting to get it going with the bat the last couple days. The power seems there this year -- still lots of time for the average to come around.

    I remember Game 4 of the NLCS probably better than any other game. We were up 2-1 in the NLCS, a chance to put ourselves on the brink of a World Series. It was a hard fought pitchers duel that essentially turned into a game of chicken to see who would be the first to blink and worry about anything other than getting that next out. I say this as a big Counsell fan -- he blinked first. Deep in an extra inning tie, with 2 outs and a chance to face the pitcher and almost certainly get to the next inning, he tried to get through Cody Bellinger with a runner in scoring position. No one knows what would have happened the next inning, but we never got a chance to find out. Instead of being deflated, the Dodgers tied the series and regained the momentum and we know what happened after that. I guess my main point here is not to downplay the importance of Game 4 just because we don't NEED to have it and have regained homecourt regardless. There is just such a big difference between 3-1 and 2-2. Win it and put the Celtics in an almost impossible position -- beat us 3 straight times including 2 at Fiserv. Lose, and the series goes becomes a best of 3 with the momentum pointing in their direction. This is still an enormous game and they should treat it with the same intensity that they treated Game 3. Would love to get Brogdon back on the court for 15-20 minutes.

    Awesome win. Really shouldn't have been this close. Fun thing about this one is the C's didn't play that badly.
  22. adambr2
    Oh my God Bledsoe. Worst game of his career?
  23. adambr2
    Ok I'm breathing easier now. That got scary. NBA leads can vanish in a heartbeat.
  24. adambr2
    Domination? This is one of the worst efforts to close out a game I've seen in a long time. Fouls, terrible passes, way too early shots.
  25. adambr2
    Bledsoe gets back in and promptly misses 2 of 2. He is an absolute trash can today.
