Except for the Rockies game, his September was normal for him.For a team that should be expecting themselves to contend going into next season, I’m okay with slotting him in at the back end of the rotation and letting him eat innings. If he can regain anything close to his first half this year, let that be a big time bonus.I just hope they don’t expect or rely on him to be that first half guy moving forward.

20 hours ago20 hr We need about 300 starting pitching innings of at least a decent quality. I don't think we need to have a superstar at the front, though that makes the post season potentially harder. But we HAVE got to get more GOOD innings from the rotation, as it relieves a ton of pressure on the back end of the rotation as well as the bullpen is able to settle into more predictable roles and routines.
17 hours ago17 hr Do any of you foresee bullpen arms being tired for next season based on their usage this year? I am assuming we miss a couple months next year so that might not be an issue, but in the case of a full season?

More than the innings totals, is the heavy loads in a short period of time and short rests.

16 hours ago16 hr Author Maybe they give Vasil the Hagen role? I dunno, can you really expect more than 500 innings combined between Smith, Taylor, Kay? I doubt it. We need someone to eat some innings. Maybe Castillo will pull a miracle and give us 160-170. They aren't going to let his option vest over that.We really need to sign a proven #2 or 3 starter that can project for 180ip around a 3.8 ERA.

3 hours ago3 hr I'd add Freddy Peralta back to the list of guys I would want. File his first half struggles to "General Mets Usual Shittiness" Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by Bob Sacamano
2 hours ago2 hr While Peralta will always have the 4.99 ERA stain on his resume from his 22-start Mets tenure, he is already doing a lot of good with the Rays to diminish the impact of his Mets stint on his free agency.Will Peralta land a nine-figure contract like he might've been seeking this offseason? Probably not, at least not without signing a very long-term deal that has a much lower AAV than pitchers normally would get.But a strong postseason for Peralta with the Rays, especially if he helps them win the World Series, could have the Tampa Bay starter landing a much more respectable deal this offseason.si.com3.25 era with MIL and two solid postseason starts to boot

Had an ERA of 6 and then a was good SP for Cubs. Having any semblance of a defense helps a lot.Edit: might actually be a lowkey good name to look at Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by Bob Sacamano

Agai, you assume they are going to rock a $120M payroll next year.
2 hours ago2 hr 1 minute ago, Chicago White Sox said:Why not? Agai, you assume they are going to rock a $120M payroll next year.Because the White Sox did not act like a team with a lot of money to spend at the deadline. They traded an additional prospect and contract to save money instead of taking on an entire deal.

Ishbia doesn't own the team yet and I doubt he's fronting much money until he does. His focus now is on the new stadium.
