Is he pitching against the Yankees this week? Does making this statement bold and huge make it more meaningful than...not meaningful at all?

You sure?

That meme/sentiment started WAAAAAAY before that. Like when KW was GM.

They can’t keep running him out there if he can’t go more than 4+ without surrendering 3-5 runs for much longer. It has become the law of diminishing returns recently.

Preller trades don't count

Except for Wood Jr., CJ Abrams, M.Gore and Leo de Vries… And the opposite side of it: “In my opinion one of the greatest trade deadlines not just in the history of baseball, but maybe the greatest in the history of sports. If you disagree please tell me a time a GM traded for the equivalent of the NLDS MVP (if they gave one out it would have gone to Joc Pederson), the NLCS MVP (Dodger killer Eddie Rosario), and the World Series MVP (Jorge Soler) before the trade deadline.”

He knows position players well.

This doesn't mean "don't be afraid to trade prospects because they don't pan out". This means "teams don't trade their good prospects".

I think it’s got to be higher than 100. I don’t recall them saying Schultz would have a massive innings restriction on him this year. He’s got 12 turns left in the rotation and at 5 innings per start that would put him at 140 total on the season. May guess is they use off days to skip two starts and land him around 130.

We face two LHPs in the four game series vs. the Yankees. Right now, it looks like we’ll miss the Rays’ two LHPs. It won’t be a big showcase, but teams are desperate for RH hitting. Assuming Hays gets the call, he really needs to make these couple of starts count.

Vaughn hit one out yesterday. OPS just under .900. Jake Bauers getting most of the action at first base.

Antonacci against lefties, Peters against lefties, or Braden against lefties.

Yah, me too. Law is sharp. The first time he openly questioned the WS, in my memory, was right after the Shields/Tatis disaster. He was right, of course.

I take it you know him.

That is factually true

Schultz would have more innings under his belt if he could just get some more hitters out.

He was called up by the Rangers

It was on full display Sunday in Chicago. His parents were there to experience it again. "The last time my parents came, I was injured," Murakami said, per MLB.com. "Just being out on the field today and getting the results in front of them [leaves me] really speechless."

It’s still amazing that this team had two top catcher prospects and two additional catchers with decently hyped prospect status at one time in Lee and Romo and now the team needs a catcher.

The thought is that the Rangers cut him loose to allow him to find another gig since they had no plans of calling him up. Kelenic had the following line for the Rangers’ AAA team in 123 plate appearances: .374 .451 .654 1.105

Very positive CERA too.

Not quite, it's all cooked sushi for obvious reasons. They have a California crunch one, and a shrimp tempura one. It's pretty good for what it is.

That’s a sweet rug Bowden has. Totally believable.
