The rain cock-blocked your prediction.

I don’t think I ever gave an estimate. Either way, he’s at 94.1 innings pitched, not 100 and not 150 yet.

Nice of him to tank his trade value with us. And there’s that improved Getz defense like clockwork!

Nah, I disagree. It was simply guesswork to think Crochet could throw 200 innings this year. Hell, even in this very thread you just made a post about him throwing 200 innings and a second post about him potentially dialing back to 150 innings. 50 more innings is a lot. So which is it?

Well, even Stone is agreeing with the majority of posters on this site that thought the same thing, and he was actually a major league pitcher rather than a message board poster. I’m not seeing the supposed shame when Stone thinks the same thing and has more insight than all of us.

You’re probably right. He just repeated it again.

Nice call for Crochet there… ?

Maybe for a team as bad as the White Sox.

Source for what? I asked the question. Where are all of these other outfielders and DHs, or even other position players, dropping like flies from these recurring hamstring injuries? I know you’ve been Eloy’s number one fan for awhile and refused to admit that he was injury prone, but that ship has sailed. It’s okay to admit that the guy is a bust, mostly due to being injury-prone.

“and no one cared to listen.” ?

During the last broadcast, Steve Stone said they will be cutting back on his innings/outings in some form or fashion eventually.

Agreed. Good pickup for that role but there should be no thoughts of him being a starting corner outfield option for this team going forward.

Julks ain’t jelking anymore. OPS down to .688.

The production team should be too embarrassed to show how much money the Dodgers spent in the offseason.

Good. f*** Jerry.

A 3 pitch strikeout from Eloy with RISP. How will we ever replace such an absolute STUD?!?

Eloy is an .800 OPS (at best) DH that can’t play the field or stay healthy. He would be easily replaceable if we had an owner who cared about winning and a GM with a clue.

Looks like the security guard was celebrating the walkoff win as well and bumped M&M guy by accident. I could be wrong though.

Why isn’t this a more widespread issue among MLB players then? What is Eloy doing differently with his conditioning, or lack thereof?

Too late to convert Kopech back to a starter and pray? ?

Berto from the west side…

The Mets have Grimace. We have M&M Guy…

Not sure what’s worse — this idea or defending the Oldy Moldy acquisition to the bitter end.

Exactly what I was thinking. Here are Benintendi’s salaries over the next three seasons until he is gone: 2025: $16.5 million 2026: $16.5 million 2027: $14.5 million This past offseason, Getz spent $16.1 million on Brebbia ($5.5M), Maldonado ($4.5M), Lopez ($4.3M), and Tim Hill ($1.8M; already cut). All signings that most competent GMs wouldn’t make and would definitely wish they could undo at this point. So what player or players is our wizard of a GM missing out on signing with $16.5 million? The prospect return for Crochet in a trade without screwing it up by including Benintendi’s contract is worth more than the absolute crap players Getz would no doubt sign with that freed up $16.5 million.
