There's a whole month left to evaluate Fister.
-
With all the criticism of our coaching this year, it seems like it's been pretty good in the pitching area.
-
You're right about the bad deals - but Verlander could turn out to be more of the same. There's a chance you get burned with any big salary you take on. It always seems like a good idea at the time.
-
Right now we have Kimbrel, Reed and Workman all looking very strong. Kelly and Scott have been good. Barnes and Abad are a little scary but really not that bad on average. You can't really ask for too much more.

9/1 at the Yankees

I don't disagree, but let's see how Fister does over the remainder of the season. -
We'll see. Mookie was an 'Orioles killer' last year, but not this year.

I think we're all feeling pretty high on Mister Fister right now, because in his last 3 starts he's given up 4 earned runs in 23 innings-against Cleveland, Baltimore and the Yanks no less. May it continue! -

Doug Fister - thanks Dave! -

Exactly. -
I think everything matters in baseball, and there are a lot of things that can contribute to an individual game's outcome. I think it's fair to say that this team has made an unusually high number of bonehead plays this year and they've cost us some runs. There's no way to measure how many games they've cost, but saying it's 5 or 10 is totally unsupportable. Saying it's cost a couple would be much more reasonable.

Fighting ain't too good for my game if Chris Sale takes a swing at someone and breaks his hand.
-
You can call a Yankee player anything you want.
-
Marrero is a career black hole.
-
He doesn't go on tiny sample sizes.
-
Stanton has an opt-out after 2020. If you're thinking in terms of a ticking clock for the Marlins that might be it. But that's 3 more seasons. I don't think trading him now makes any sense at all for them.
-
Xander's value is dropping by the day, locking him up is pretty much by the boards now. Locking up Betts still makes sense though, I think, and I believe a 6 or 7 year offer is what is needed. I do believe Mookie will figure it out on the offensive end. I have faith in him as a long term star. If you let him get to free agency there's a good chance he's gone.
-
Good stuff oldtimer.
-
I'm still a little unclear why the Marlins would be heavily motivated to trade him. He's their franchise right now. He's a young megastar. If you can't keep that kind of player maybe you should just move the franchise.
-
I guess we just lost that game every which way. But what stands out to me is that our hitting consisted of 4 singles. It was our popgun Noffense at its ugliest.
-
I agree that the 4 games was too light. Cabrera got 7 games. It seemed like the Yanks got a discount because they're still in contention for the playoffs. The appeals are supposed to be dealt with today I think.
-
Pablo is racking up more negative WAR with the Giants.
-
I agree, Max.
-
You could put Fister in the pen, available in that 'piggyback starter' role we've had some discussion about.
-
I guess there should be some credit to Farrell for patiently sticking to the plan there.
