As a starter...future is bit cloudier.

Brewers bases loaded no outs btw when is the next Miz start? tmrw?

Not to mention Hagen McDougal Oppor. Taylor and Burke are the only remaining success stories.

Bring back Jon Adkins and Felix Diaz!!! Ofc he would throw 97-99 for the Red Sox. That loss last night has done a lot of damage to this team's collective psyche.

Minor miracle it's only 2-0

At this rate they're going to try to turn Hicks back into a starter or at least an opener that can get through the order once

If there's such a thing as karma for mlb it would be Detroit winning without Skubal and Mize trading Flaherty to LAD worked like a charm two seasons ago

Panic might be closing in on being justified at this point...

It's good for Bristol/Berman lol

Might be all the runs that Messick needs tonight

BoSox over Yankees 3-0 finally catching them

Braden as well

Enter Sandlin/Sandman they simply can't keep running Schultz out there

Whole division except KC stacked up together within 3 1/2 games...

Pretty much a full time DH now, though? Obviously thought their playoff odds/revenue share chances were better. We shall see. Definitely a better pitching staff over there...White Sox are duct taped and barely held together by baling wire.

It goes with the territory. Now everyone is hating on Peters Braden any catchers Mune Colson Vargas...even Antonacci's defense and hitting against LP. Davis Martin and pretty much any non Burke starting pitcher...maybe a bit of appreciation for Kay. Will probably change yet again in 2-3 weeks, right?

Dominguez was actually pitching much better in recent weeks...outside the closer's role, which was never a good fit, just like it's not Brazoban's place, either. On the open market, he would probably get at least $6-8 million. You'd have to really be VERY kind to possibly imagine anyone giving Luis Castillo more than $13-15 million as a FA (if he didn't have a guaranteed contract for next year)...unless those $150-160 million payroll floors become a reality.

https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CHW/2026.shtml The fact remains that Meidroth and Vargas have been their best players. Then Peters, Mune, Colson and Antonacci.

2000 or 2001

Fans don’t really care about “positively spinning” accounting mumbo jumbo. That’s how they ended up sending E.Johnson and Tatis, Jr. to SD in the first place. And both for declining “Big Game/Name” pitchers in Shields and Castillo with obviously diminishing performance/crispness of stuff/peripherals.

Still a 7% decline from GRF to Seattle would be expected. Only surprise is GRF not playing as an offense-first environment, actually 22nd. But there’s still August and early September to go. Also holds true for 2024-25. GRF 19th for offense, Seattle consistently the very worst. baseballsavant.comStatcast Park FactorsBaseball Savant

Which of those bottom 16 fWAR and slightly beyond would possibly get that $$$? Peralta and Ray? Singer? Merrill Kelly? Springs? Mikolas? You’re not even taking into consideration moving from Castillo’s offense suppressing environment in Seattle to GRF.

https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?month=0&pos=all&stats=pit&type=8&qual=100&pagenum=3&pageitems=30 3 of the bottom 16 fWAR (out of 91) with over 100 ip Kay Castillo and Fedde

Altuve will be another interesting HoF case. On the Red Sox or Yankees, he probably gets in. But just barely.

Not an easy problem to address now less than fifty games out. (Hopefully not even Ron wants to rush Bonemer up to a corner outfield spot before the playoffs begin.) Who would have ever thought Keider Montero and Parker Messick would be the two best AL Central pitchers standing going into the second week of August? Strangest season in a good way (especially with the bar set so very low) since 2000.
