That makes a lot more sense. Because 66 stolen bases would be two per game. Once upon a time, a 35-55% success rate was more the norm across baseball.

Crazy. I don't remember any of them but I can't watch the majority of games at work lol.

Didn't want Keuchel's 2022 option to best. Shades of 2014/15 Royals on basepaths. I mean, Grandal has a, what, 3-5% rate of success throwing out anyone...even if the runners are held properly.

Good teams play over those mistakes though. Certainly against lousy teams.

One of those laborious outings where he struggles through 5+. Merrifield really heating up recently. Once again failure to control the running game. Rhythm tempo control are all off. Basically the opposite of Singer last night.

They must all have the patented wincing & groaning Moncada/Robert expressions on their faces.

Just having to listen to his "professional or competitive" at bats nonsense for an inning or two was already enough punishment for the fanbase.

Let's hope this matches your last prediction between us.

Too Long what?

Against Greinke? More likely to get shut out the way the offense is flailing away.

Down to 18000 Dow in 2020, 2007-08, 9/11 aftermath, tech/Nasdaq crash in 1998-2000, 1987…those were all much worse (obviously). But a 15% correction seems a bit of a shock with how low unemployment is, and how much profit some companies are raking in. That said, it was long overdue. You have interest rates rapidly climbing, affordable housing shortage, climate change, abortion battles, Ukraine, election year, gas prices, impossibility of spending under $100 at the grocery store, etc. The government might be at its most dysfunctional since the Civil War in many aspects.

Every time one sees Leury or Harrison starting there's a tendency to ask yourself why didn't they just spend $11 million on a better player instead and not create two lineup holes simultaneously... Also, might want to consider winning these two games before heading to the Bronx. A loss tonight would mean 3 1/2 games back. Low water mark is 4.5 games behind Minnesota at the end of that 8 game losing streak.

It happens more often than not. Not many professional players have made it out of Wisconsin. In the last 20-30 years, Brad Radke arguably the best. https://www.milwaukeemag.com/best-wisconsin-born-baseball-players/ Bob Wickman, Jordan Zimmermann and Rays pitcher JP Freyereisen three more.

Of every government in the world outside of Singapore Norway Finland Sweden and NZ.

Robinson Cano had two hits yesterday.

And Vaughn over Sheets at DH despite handedness a newer approach.

Fwiw, he's going to miss about same amount of time as Eloy, mid to late June return. Eligible to come off DL as early as June 7th but just doing light baseball activity and not close to hitting in Peoria AZ.

ReyLo has been useful but consistently underperformed expectations. Still a great trade on Gio alone and Dunning of course turned into Lynn.

It was similar to a Pollock throw…way too much air under it but largely accurate. He was closing in on the deep deep SS position in the OF and Harrison hadn’t even hit the bag yet.

TLR claimed he was never a great fit for the role they forced him into. Maybe should have gotten on the same page before that ill-conceived move?

4/6ths of their rotation? We would be doomed. Buxton and Correa would mean Robert and Jimenez and still not even. Have been forced to use Celestino and Royce Lewis a ton and they have held their own more or less. Larnach and Sano were considered key starters too. Although some would have picked Kiriloff in the offseason ahead of Larnach. (The other thing is that Gary Sanchez despite his poor def seems a lot more likely to go on an offensive tear than Grandal. Have to go with youth…granted the Yankees went all defense at that spot for a reason.) And there’s yet another key piece, Kenta Maeda…who will attempt to return the last month or so of the season. Coming off major surgery.

Conforto is going to be the closest approximation. Maybe not the price tag though.

The rebuild didn’t start until the second half of 2016 and that offseason. Before that the old competing on the fly and retooling mode. Dye Pods Iguchi F.Garcia AJ Jenks all a lot closer to prime around age 30 or under for Bobby in 2005 let’s just say compared to current situation with Abreu, Pollock, Lynn, Grandal, Kelly, Keuchel, Cueto, Harrison, etc. Contreras was still close enough to his prime to last until first half of 2006.

Correa and Bundy coming off today. Buxton has missed time and still not in the lineup every day…has been alternating days off and on. Paddack likely done for the year. Sano out for a similar time to Jimenez. Sonny Gray starting this afternoon.
