Corbin got a 6 year deal.

Sorry Tyler.

Baltimore 5 Rays 0 after 3. -
WAR requires some digging into. It's just a starting point. If you use it with any regularity you know that it's a 'counting number' so games played is a big factor.
-
This is exactly why WAR is a useful tool.
-
Value is all approximate. JBJ's value based on WAR is clearly in the ballpark of 10 mill.
-
Inciarte is under contract for 2 more years at about 6 mill per. Pillar is in final arb year and will probably get about 8 mill. Plus you have to give up something for them. All in all not a big saving.
-
Billy Hamilton's bat would make the game threaders pine for JBJ.
-
We can't forget that Chris Sale's status for 2020 is still up in the air. He's to be re-evaluated by Dr. Andrews in 5+ weeks.
-
E-Rod is certainly making a case to be part of the team's future.
-
Names?
-
Not really. Us armchair GM's and managers just love to pick apart the real ones, that's all. When players play s***** or don't play because they're hurt, they take their lumps. There was a party when Nunez was booted, and there are more planned for the departures of Porcello, Moreland, Pearce et cetera.
-
Corbin pitched a total of 389.2 innings in 2017-2018. Is he really that much more of an injury risk than most starting pitchers?
-
Not really - I'd say most of the criticism of DD is for pillaging the farm.
-
Nope. But the Yankees could easily have afforded the extra cost. That's what a lot of Yankee fans think, anyway.
-
Plus signing Happ instead of Corbin, who is having an excellent season for the Nats.
-
No, the baseballs are definitely a big factor. This was proven when they started using the MLB balls in Triple A ball and home runs instantly increased by about 50%.
-
You can't chuck in the season just because your probabilities are low.
-
When it comes to PED's, one thing I'm about 99% sure of is that my boy Bellhorn was doing 'em. A chunky little guy like that hitting the bombs he did in 2004...

I'm hoping you didn't really take him seriously. -
Happy 80th Birthday Captain Carl Yastrzemski!

Yaz also had an RBI single off Gossage in the 8th inning of that game. On a sadder note, Yaz also made the last out in the 1975 World Series. -
And now Bubba Starling
-
Unfortunately the A's didn't get the memo about their talent level. They've just won 6 of 7 vs. the Astros and Yanks.
-
The pot shots probably say that we're a little childish when it comes to being sports fans. But that's part of the appeal, isn't it? You get to be kind of a loud-mouthed schnook for a while. It's an escape from all the seriousness of our everyday lives.
-
What I think is that even the fans who say they've given up haven't completely given up. They're just very doubtful, and that's understandable considering the statistical probabilities against this happening. Also I think because we won it all last year it's easier to accept that this isn't our year. A psychologist would probably suggest a whole bunch of explanations for the 'I give up' behavior. I do appreciate the optimistic attitude of people like yourself.
