  1. If we had some well-pitched starts lately the W-L record would be looking considerably better. We're losing a lot of games where we're putting up 5 runs or more.
  2. And what does that have to with how bad the starting pitching has been?
  3. C'mon now jung, cheap lines like that are not worthy of you.
  4. It's neither Cora's fault nor Dombrowski's fault how bad the starting pitching has been, IMHO. Fire LeVangie, of course.
  5. There was also a big story about how Sale wanted to do this to help the team a little.
  6. They can, it's called non-tendering.
  7. They could have had Corbin and Keuchel, though. The only cost with those two was money.
  8. If the Yankees win it this year it'll be Cashman's greatest triumph. If they don't, and the starting pitching is at fault, look out Brian.
  9. Price is enigmatic. Who would have thought he would step up the way he did last postseason?
  10. Price and Sale have been about the same, really. Our expectations of Sale are higher. Both have been considerably better than Porcello.
  11. You're right except the AAV is reduced to $25.6 million because of deferred money. This type of adjustment must have been something new in the last CBA.
  12. And if the starters are sucking the bullpen doesn't matter much. Last 3 games Sale, Price & Porcello gave us little chance.
  13. And you can say the same about the Yankees rotation: CC, Tanaka, Happ, Paxton - all diminished, based on the numbers German - only one on upswing Perhaps the rocket ball shouldn't be overlooked as a factor in all this...
  14. What was your point with that, anyway?
  15. Frankly all anyone cares about any more is the AAV. Sale's is $25.6 million because of deferred money in his contract.
  16. Sunk cost: a cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. But yes, it's possible that he might actually earn his 2020 salary...
  17. I think Porcello may have ruined his arm last postseason chasing the ring, like Foulke in 2004.
  18. Merciless bastards.
  19. Coco Crisp is actually pretty much a bang-on comp for JBJ.
  20. If you trade JBJ you're not just saving the tax, you're saving his salary. Castillo's salary is a sunk cost, that's the difference.
  21. That analogy needed some more time in the shop too.
  22. His job is very safe. The 2019 team will go down as being sunk by horrible pitching. Plus: John Farrell lasted 5 years. John Henry is not a knee-jerker (though Kimmi will argue otherwise.)
  23. Pearce's is more like a pigeon compared to the others.
  24. You are the Iceman!
  25. Castillo's only added cost is the tax. 2020 could be his year!
