Damn I was hoping he'd be out of the division. He's always a pain to pitch to.

It would be extremely weird for us to give big money to a guy like Hendriks but go dumpster diving for a RFer.

Yeah, Mazara at least still has a little bit of upside left. You know what Eaton's ceiling is and he's probably not that guy anymore.

With the season he had last year, this contract seems about right. Not sure I like it. Joc definitely adds more to the lineup, but Eaton is a safer bet. I'm sure TLR loves him for the clubhouse, but IDK if he fits in with the rest of the core.

It could be that since they played 2/3 of their games in the NL West last year, teams have a much better idea of how to pitch to him.

Yeah that is pretty concerning. He saw a lot less fastballs last year. He struggled against change ups the most last year but that wasn't always the case in his career.

Holy crap, did Jeff Passan just validate Not Steve Cishek?

The numbers (aside from 2020 regular season) tell me that Joc will be a fine platoon player for us. But I'll always be reminded of our track record with signing left handed power guys who don't hit for average and strike out a lot (Dunn, Alonso, etc).

I honestly would have preferred Musgrove over Lynn for a cheaper price. You get 2 years of control, he's much younger and can still improve, and he's been quietly very good for the past few years.

The Astros had his number. 16 of his 31 ER last season came against Houston in just 2 starts. 5 of his 13 HRs allowed also came against Houston. I wouldn't be too worried about his ability to pitch for the next year.

This is Greg's nightmare

I'm confused. Didn't they already do a hand recount?

He's clearly worried about what may happen to him after he's out of office. Otherwise, he wouldn't be doing all this shit.

IDK about Cy Young contention, but he's been quietly good for a few years now. His K/9 numbers last year were insane in his 8 starts. He's also arb 2 already in 2021, so he shouldn't come at a huge price.

The Indians are really good at giving up broken goods right before they break. Kluber last off-season and now Clevinger. Although you can argue the Rangers knew that Kluber carried a decent amount of risk given his injury history.

Is there someone just making this shit up for him to tweet?

Keuchel got one 10th place vote lol

M V Pito!

Ha he did Cooper's job for him 2 years ago and now he's got Cooper's job!

Maricopa county just dropped their last big batch of ballots and Trump won 55% of them. He needed to win around 70% to come back. With 22,000 ballots remaining, he needs 76% of it to win Arizona. Looking like Biden will hang on there. Arizona also has no recount unless it's within 0.1%. Decision Desk HQ just called AZ for Biden.

A recent batch of 5000 was 50/49 for Biden. Now Trump needs almost 70% of the remaining 35,000 ballots.

Or a 2 time drunk driver.

Yeah it's pretty fucked up. The margins Biden will win by in WI, PA, MI will total less than 250k. A quarter million less votes and he loses, even though he will have 7 million more votes.

Silver projects Biden will win by 4.3 points when all the votes are counted. So the national polls were 4 points off. Even more than in 2016. If the turnout is actually 160 million, Biden is set to win the popular vote 82 million to 75 million. A 7 million vote win in the popular vote is very significant.

I think the goal for Biden and the democrats is to make sure McConnell can't block everything under the sun that Biden tries to do like he did Obama after 2010.
