    Objection your honor. He did tweaks in 2016, 2017 and 2018. If he doesn't get a reliever this year it will be disappointing, though.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Thanks Captain Obvious.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I get paid the same as you do for all those one-liners, Henny.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Ah yes, the dreaded FIP.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Well, let's see, 2 guys held out, Kimbrel and Keuchel. And Keuchel has pitched about exactly as expected.
  6. Bellhorn04
    It's simple, really. Our horses, Sale, Price and Porcello, are letting us down. And the bullpen is mediocre. So it's all pitching.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Pitching and pitching strategy cannot be as bad as you make it out to be, jung. Even with the Manfred Missile, major league teams are only averaging 4.5 earned runs a game. Unless you want to credit this fact to the hitters not being very good either (which I suspect is exactly what you want to do).
  8. Bellhorn04
    Not seeing any moves in that direction.
  9. Bellhorn04
    True, but his 2018 post-ASB and postseason numbers were not very pretty either.
  10. Bellhorn04
    The problem is those better human umps will never materialize. These guys are doing their best, I assume. They're not trying to suck.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Huh?
  12. Bellhorn04
    The idea of trading a solid young everyday player for a reliever makes me gag. The fact that said reliever is having a horrible season doesn't help, of course...
  13. Bellhorn04
    The team doesn't need a shakeup IMO. They've been playing better, but the pitching continues to disappoint. That's not going to be fixed today.
  14. Bellhorn04
    As I've said elsewhere, I think that in general, trading Benintendi would be nutty. And the return here looks pretty shaky.
  15. Bellhorn04
    It has been bizarre. I only have 2 hopes: 1) We get a reliever; 2) Yankee fans are really pissed off at the end of the day.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Not me. I don't know much about Smith, but at a glance his defensive numbers look pretty wretched.
  17. Bellhorn04
    jung could write a book about how baseball sucks now. In fact, he already has, if you just cobble together his posts from this year.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Nah, the simulator isn't greedy, it just wants another player with $11.3 mill of Surplus Trade Value.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Computers are there to crank out data, but humans still have to make the decisions, for better or worse. With Dave Dombrowski and Tony Larussa, I think we've still got a little old school thinking going on, for better or worse.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Calm down, armchair wizard. Moreland has an .845 OPS, 13 homers and 38 RBI in only 52 games. He had 2 RBI's last night.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Which shows the limited value of such simulations. Would anyone in their right mind trade Benintendi for Diaz (plus $11.3 million more of theoretical trade value) right now? I'm sure Dave Dombrowski would have a good laugh at the idea.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Good thing Max was just heaping the sarcasm.
  23. Bellhorn04
    You guys sure run things differently these days. Very conservative. Doing things like passing on Keuchel over 1.5 million.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Trading him would be nutty. We have Betts and JBJ free agents after 2020. We have no promising outfielders in the system.
  25. Bellhorn04
    But they have been winning games. They're 15-8 in July. I think that's how the FO is probably looking at it.
