  1. Well, my snarky friend, how about their pitching SPLITS? Home ERA 2.84 Road ERA 4.38
  2. Verducci also did a nice job talking about how Benintendi has become such a good base stealer.
  3. Hey STORK, do you remember this post you made on April 14? It's in the 2018 Bullpen thread if you want to go look it up. Hembree 8IP 8H 5ER Reed 8IP 1ER 9K Priceless So since you made that post here are some numbers: Reed IP 30 ERA 5.10 OPS against .911 Hembree IP 27 ERA 3.00 OPS against .666 Contracts are also worth mentioning: Reed 2 years 16.75 million Hembree 1 year 582 K Now who are the stooges and who is the idiot?
  4. In this home stand against NYY, HOU & WSH, the Rays have allowed 12 runs in 8 games, and 6 of those were in one game. In their last 10 at the Trop they've allowed 13 runs.
  5. Incredible isn't it. I'm glad we've played most of our games with them. I'm a little suspicious that they've done something to the air in the TropDome that makes it impossible for other teams to hit there.
  6. Beni couldn't keep up the incredible streak he was on. All hitters have ups and downs during the long season. But don't judge him based on most recent results. He's hitting 285/369/508 - 877 OPS - with 13 HR and 53 RBI in 80 games. He also has 15 steals in 16 attempts and his defense has been great lately.
  7. What's his OPS since Jacks started this thread?
  8. That's about 80% true. He hasn't traded Benintendi or Devers. He has a select few that he hangs onto.
  9. He pitched like a solid #2 in 2016 - 17 wins, 3.99 ERA, 230 innings. He's pitching like a solid #2 this year. He's been a disappointment, but not exactly a bust. The great Theo signed Yu Darvish to a 6 year, 126 million deal this offseason. Darvish has 1 win, a 4.95 ERA and is currently on the DL. These deals are always risky, especially with pitchers.
  10. There's still the possibility of Pomeranz coming back too. In any event I'm sure DD will do what's best. You can see with the pickups of Phillips and Pearce he's looking to do what's necessary to plug holes.
  11. And when your farm system produces a potential HOFer like Mookie, you let him walk when he reaches free agency? That would kind of make us like the Montreal Expos of the 1990's. I'm partially kidding there, but it is a real question.
  12. So 9 years, including the 2 remaining arb years, at 31 million = 279 million.
  13. John Smoltz became the latest ballplayer to find out what it's like playing golf with the big boys. Smoltz won a qualifier to get in the US Senior Open, which is an impressive feat. He shot 85-77, 22 over, to miss the cut by 14 strokes, finishing ahead of only about 10 others. A little disappointing, I was hoping for him to make the cut, but the course is obviously brutally hard.
  14. Very reasonable! Well at least it's not as bad as what SC30 used to suggest as a disincentive program.
  15. A reference point for an extension for Mookie would be the one Altuve got recently. And I think I'm getting too lazy to look all these things up anymore.
  16. Bryce Harper is a guy I definitely wouldn't trust to live up to his next contract.
  17. His stock would get even higher if he stays hot a few more weeks.
  18. What makes him tough is that he can really hit his spots. You're not going to see many pitches in the middle of the plate.
  19. Mental toughness is a factor for a pitcher, I don't doubt that.
  20. But then you can't have Pedros or Mannys.
  21. Naps was a pioneer for the current crop of 'swing hard in case you hit it' types.
  22. Fair point. I believe the premise is that Walken was 'the other guy' in her life, and thus Wagner is presumed to be the one with the motive.
  23. Oh, I agree, the favorite wins the majority of the time. But in a baseball playoff game that probably translates to the favorite winning 52% of the time.
  24. Baseball is remarkably hard on the body.
  25. So if we're in the Wild Card game and we're -110, that would basically mean we 'only' have a 45% chance of being eliminated rather than a 50% chance.
