2.2 and 1.8 in 2017 and 2018, followed by a very disappointing 2019. Maybe it would have been better to just get Wong as Fathom argued, and trade Madrigal+ for pitching in the offseason. Of course, his peak trade value was during the 2-3 weeks before the season ending injury.

Of course, you also have to consider the difference in salaries…if not the fact Kimbrel arguably cost a lot more in talent. Frazier heading for a 4.3 fWAR at his current pace. And can play 2B/LF very well, and RF above average.

1 Unit of fWAR in FA=$8.0 million Craig Kimbrel 2019 -1.1 2020 0.3 (prorated) 2021 3.4 (prorated) Net=2.6/3 years Liam Hendriks 2019 3.8 2020 3.8 2021 2.4 Net=10.0/3 years

Rick Hahn and Must Watch should never be placed together in the same sentence…

Well, this game might likely become more known as the one that galvanized everyone around LaRussa…and not for those three K’s with bases loaded.

Hard to imagine us beating Houston, TB, Boston…the Yankees as well with their new lineup.

Of course. Why can’t anything ever be easy with this team?

Hernandez must have been confused about who to fight… Sheets not having the greatest game. Forgot the situation.

If this was a Korean sports-themed rom com, he would be milking it with his gf or fiance for a minimum of 2-3 weeks. Wearing a head bandage around like The Mummy, lots of moaning and whining.

Quentin still leading him…

LaRussa went after Perez…Demarco Hale in CLE dugout got upset LaRussa was talking to his player. I guess it’s much ado about nothing, unless we hit someone with CLE.

Has to be in the concussion protocol…

Abreu having terrible injury luck this year…intentional?

Patented opposite field swing…

Bunt bunt bunt.

Board meltdown coming if the run doesn’t score or Hendriks blows save #6…although the media would have a manufactured “closer controversy” to right about. Karinchak going all fastballs. Crazy.

Now a PHer mid at bat, lol.

Bad hop. Might end up a hit if the official scorer looks at it carefully.

If Zavala does anything but bunt the runner over succesfully…

https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/padres/story/2021-07-30/padres-fernando-tatis-rockies-jon-gray-ryan-weathers Left shoulder again. Third time this season. Unfortunate for baseball if both he and Acuna are down, Soto on a team going nowhere…Ohtani and Vladdy Jr. hard pressed to make it to the post-season. Everyone is going to start pushing for him to undergo surgery, since he’s been dealing with the exact same problem since 2016/17.

He quit the board for the 7th time? That won’t last…

The Indians have Ramirez and Reyes…that’s basically a AAAA lineup.

Well, we automatically have to support him because we just added him until he sucks so bad everyone turns on him and Hahn. It’s like anyone coming over from the Northside is deliberately sabotaging the Sox chances. Ruiz not even warmed up well.

Jose Ruiz? REALLY?

Well, wishing ill on another player usually ends up in bad karma. Congrats.
