Too bad never hitting coaches or Barfield and his lieutenant would be all over them.

This game changed on a dime. Mets have one last comeback in them? Diaz still struggling due to Monday pitch count. Alonso almost the goat there.

Tobias Myers starting for the Brewers tonight in the most important game of the season against the Mets. Released by Chris Getz in 2022. http://www.google.com.hk/url?q=https://twitter.com/draftniks/status/1841979519583859147%3Fref_src%3Dtwsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjEzbjMq_OIAxWMHjQIHfWqHdsQglR6BAgIEAI&usg=AOvVaw03NHklzciIW72EnWcojGcD Tobias Myers pitching for Brewers vs Mets in Game 3 Almost right out of the gate in the 2024 season, the Brewers faced significant injuries to its starting pitching staff. Enter Tobias Myers. He delivered for the Brewers and then some. Just two years ago, in his seventh minor-league season, Myers went 1-15 with a 7.82 ERA at Class AAA and was cut by three teams. The Brewers signed him and now, two years later, he's been the team's best pitcher. He pitched his first big-league game April 23 and never left the rotation. He started 25 games and played a big part in stabalizing the rotation. The 26-year-old Myers led the Brewers starters with a 3.00 ERA and, during a three-month period beginning in June, he had the best ERA in baseball. For the season, he had a 1.17 WHIP, posted 127 strikeouts and finished with a 9-6 record. https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/mlb/brewers/2024/10/03/tobias-myers-brewers-starting-pitchers-playoffs-vs-mets-stats/75497575007/

So technically Tatis doesn't fit because he never had an official MilB at-bat? Did Chavez not have a contract with the White Sox in spring training?

But isn't Pham the one who has now been to 4-5 consecutive post seasons? He must have something going for him or he would be out of the sport like Anderson.

Veeck as in Wreck.

We're also looking at a situation where the Cleveland Detroit and KC GM's are going to finish 1-2-3 in the AL Executive of the Year competition. Yes Rick Hahn also won it once. So basically Montgomery Quero Smith Schultz Taylor and Burke all fulfill their potential...and cheaply. How many wins does that get you to without major free agent spending and a solid bullpen? Let's even imagine the 2026 draft pick is more Witt Jr. and less 2024 Holliday. Is that a .500 team? Maybe. But absolutely everything would have to break right. And how often outside of 2005 has that ever happened with this franchise?

See first sentence. We might as well be accurate if everyone is going to be listed. And Chavez got rocked in Sox ST, pretty much everyone simply said it won’t matter in the regular season…when the lights are on. And they were absolutely right. He did his job…how many in the Sox bullpen this year could one say that about?

Nobody expected Salvy Perez to have this type of season offensively at his age…and Pasquantino was a monster with RISP. Nobody else besides the big 3 and Massey stood out offensively, other than Maikel’s stolen bases. Really, it was Ragans Lugo Wacha and Singer and then a dominant bullpen down the stretch even though they lost their nominal closer in McArthur.

Aspiring to be the Pirates essentially is not going to work as a long-term strategy.

The Cleveland Guardians, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers have contracts that expired at the end of the regular season. That would leave the Atlanta Braves as the only franchise whose contract would be unchanged.

Don't forget Tito Landrum... Unscientific reddit poll on firing Brandon Hyde 164 Absolutely 710 Absolutely Not 371 Deserves One More Year

The argument is then that Cease over XYZ allows the Orioles to overtake the Yankees in the regular season and completely avoid the WC series. But if their bats struggled so mightily down the stretch, another five days was simply going to delay the inevitable hot wild card team dicing right through them like the Rangers did last year after first taking out TBR.

You're forgetting the Dodgers, Lynn Kelly Hudson, etc. Royals' LHR Sam Long pitched for Kanny in 2019 before becoming a minor league FA LHP Jesse Chavez was released out of ST and immediately picked up by ATL, pitched along with Bummer in relief

They're not going to fire him based on 5 playoff games...

https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/vahe-gregorian/article293397049.html#storylink=mainstage_card mlb.com AJ Cassavell "With the win, the Padres advanced to their third NLDS in five years -- all of which have come against Los Angeles. They were swept in 2020, before stunning the 111-win Dodgers in ‘22. It was that summer that beloved late Padres owner Peter Seidler proclaimed the Dodgers as, “That dragon up the freeway we’re trying to slay.” They’ll have to slay it again."

Suarez survives to fight another day. Rematch with the Dodgers from two seasons ago. NLDS.

https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/10/02/orioles-royals-game-2-al-wild-card-series/ Orioles’ season ends in another postseason sweep with 2-1 loss to Royals: ‘Just sucks’

Looks like Yu Darvish is going to be a big factor in the next series against LA with Musgrove out with elbow soreness. Jackson Chourio is such a stud btw. That guy can really play ball.

Eflin is going to $18 million. Burnes will be gone. Grayson is a massive question mark health wise. Suarez can't be counted upon based on the last month. That leaves Bradish and Means but lots of question marks and no ace. "The infield is mostly set. Rutschman should bounce back offensively and is incredibly valuable either way. Ryan Mountcastle has failed to make improvements in recent years but has likely done enough to remain the first baseman. Even though Holliday struggled this year, he was such a terrific prospect that he will open 2025 as the Orioles’ second baseman. That leaves Henderson at shortstop and the versatile Jordan Westburg at the hot corner. Ramón Urías and Jorge Mateo are capable reserve infielders. The outfield has two certainties and one notable vacancy. Cedric Mullins is under contract for one more year and will patrol center field, with Colton Cowser coming off a solid rookie season as the left fielder. Santander is heading to free agency, and losing him would be a massive blow to the lineup. If that happens, the team could pivot to Kjerstad or bring in a replacement from outside the organization. The Orioles will also have a tough call on the $7.5 million option for Ryan O’Hearn, who is a useful offensive player and can float among DH, first base and the outfield. With Burnes heading to free agency, there is a massive hole in the rotation. That said, Grayson Rodriguez has emerged as an effective starter and could develop into an ace. He will be joined by Zach Eflin and Dean Kremer. Cade Povich didn’t have much success as a rookie but is young (24) and talented. He could be the fifth starter. Still, there is a major need to either re-sign Burnes or replace him with a similarly talented pitcher. As for the bullpen, the key relievers are under contract for 2025, and major help is coming in the form of Félix Bautista, who is returning from 2023 Tommy John surgery. The presence of Bautista will shift Domínguez to the setup committee with Cano and Pérez." https://sports.yahoo.com/baltimore-orioles-2024-offseason-preview-how-do-the-os-continue-their-ascension-in-2025-235101040.html Forgot they had an option on Mullins....but payroll will be significantly higher and that's without even replacing Burnes.

Good luck ticket agents trying to convince anyone to buy in. The real test is probably 2026 when Montgomery Quero Schultz Smith need to be making significant contributions.

Not without significant FA spending on the pitching front...but not going to count out a system with that much depth. Cowser will win RoY. Still have Westburg Mayo Basallo Hjerstad...but the key obviously is Rutschman and Holiday playing as projected. Gunnar Henderson is already one of the Top 5-7 players in baseball.

Without FA and a high #1 draft pick, it's almost impossible. The only way is trading Crochet and trusting Getz. https://www.milb.com/player/jac-caglianone-695506#:~:text=Draft: 2024, Kansas City Royals, Round: .690 ops in Quad Cities...at least two if not three years away from the majors.

Thinking of the WNBA lol. Brewers trying to make it a series. Down 3-2 bit escaped bases loaded situation.
