Slash & OPSa: 204/307/298 = 606 He did give up a lot of walks, but he made up for it by giving up so little good contact. -
Which makes Ryan's 5,714 K's even more incredible. He almost did 3,000 twice!
-
OTOH has he ever had a more solid and consistent stretch than he did this year from July right through the postseason?
-
I think he will too. What the hell, it's the time of year for dreaming.
-
A little too close to making the game a 3 ring circus...IMHO
-
As an accountant, I'd say I'll let the teams' accountants study it. Much more efficient use of resources.
-
It is a little. If the guy gives up bombs to the first 2 hitters he faces, he still has to face another one?
-
It's about time Craig's agent put out the word that he's only seeking 'Eovaldi money'...
-
The expanded roster seems like kind of a minor issue to me. Eliminated teams are sort of boring by definition already.
-
But how much would you have to lower ticket prices in those cities to make a serious difference? Are the prices that high now?
-
On the other hand the Sox are paying $70 million plus for Rusney Castillo to entertain the PawSox fans, even though there's no tax hit. When you've got that much money invested in something, you will want to recoup whatever value it has if possible.
-
I think this idea has some real merit. It would take away one of the disincentives to spend.
-
Having some dead money on the books is pretty common for big spending teams. You've got the Ellsbury albatross.
-
You sound like The Cooler!
-
Corbin and Eovaldi.
-
The only young person we have here is Thunder. He would have something to say.
-
Yes, but I take you more seriously than I do Larry.
-
That's pretty extreme.
-
It's very confusing stuff. There are also some penalties that apply if you exceed tax thresholds AND sign a free agent who received a Qualifying Offer.
-
There's no loss of international pool money but I think there's loss of 'slot money' for the regular draft.
-
They didn't miscalculate last year. They went over the top threshold by $2.5 million.
-
I agreed with that.
-
And the Cubs. It worked 2 years in a row, and I'm afraid it's become a model to follow for a number of teams.
-
And a lot of that is the elusive nature of the game. But there are no numbers to support the idea that Kelly is a huge loss for the pen. He was great in the playoffs, absolutely. OTOH Kimbrel was terrible in the playoffs.
-
No apology necessary.
