Profar Machado Kim Cronenworth Tatis Bogaerts Arraez. https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds Currently favorites for the 6th and final WC spot.

nrockway Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) He fits with their team right now but I wonder if he's Ha-Seong Kim's eventual replacement. Does seem a little odd to have a 1B/DH tandem that might combine for 20 home runs. Edited May 4 by nrockway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 The Cease rebound this year couldn’t have been more obvious. I’m happy they traded him before risking injury, but it’s disappointing teams weren’t more interested in him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 How bout those Marlins. Gave up 20 runs, 21 hits to Oakland. Timmy went 0 for 2, then was pulled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrockway Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) Anyone watching Skenes debut? First inning: 2 K's, a walk to Bellinger, a hard hit flyout to deep center. Throwing his fastball at 101 but struck out Suzuki on 3 nasty looking breaking pitches. Second inning: ground out, hit by pitch, walk, single. bases loaded. uh oh. got out of it with no runs scoring. Fourth inning: prominent slugger Nico Hoerner homers to left field. Fifth inning: infield single, double, his day is over. Final line: 4.0 IP, 6h, 3 ER, 2 BB, 7 K. 84 pitches. 2 WHIP, 6.75 ERA. I think I prefer Nasty Nick. not Skenes related but the Pirates play-by-play guy called b2b homers as "back to back chicken shack". that Grateful Dead song popped into my head yesterday for the first time in like a decade, funny coincidence and a good call.

Autumn Dreamin Posted Saturday at 04:01 AM Share Posted Saturday at 04:01 AM Corbin Carroll down to a .526 OPS (.188 AVG). Weird to see. Also, Jung Ho Lee is out for the year for the Giants, and the Dodgers just optioned Outman (.147/.250/.516). NL West bidding war for Pham at the deadline?

nrockway Posted Sunday at 03:18 AM Share Posted Sunday at 03:18 AM Is Edwin Diaz cooked? They gave him $100mil to miss an entire season due to an injury he sustained celebrating an exhibition game victory, now he's pitching to a 5.5 ERA and giving up like 100 homers a game. He has a blown save in 4 of his last 6 outings. He just gave up 4 runs to 1 out against the Marlins. It's funny to me when bad things happen to Steve Cohen even though I kinda like the Mets. They seem to think they're making the playoffs this year, maybe they want to sell their farm for Kopech and Fedde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're also likely to lose Alonso to FA and Lindor has been a massive disappointment and lastly Atl/Philly the better teams by far. Look at Hader for another example of a closer who looked close to untouchable and where he's at now. Have max out those guys like Clase and Duran as youngsters...$100+ million contracts for vets almost never work out in this day and age.

GreenSox Posted Monday at 12:42 AM Share Posted Monday at 12:42 AM Just looking at the rosters of the winning teams across the league, it's amazing how many sub .700 hitters each has. It's generally 50%+. Now they have a couple of guys who are raking, but, man, it wouldn't take that much to be competent offensively, on a relative basis.
