I honestly have no idea what the f*** they're thinking or doing.
-
If Duran is in a package for a front line starter, there's something bigger in the package than Duran. Otherwise I have to think it would be done by now.
-
The Dodgers are having themselves a party.
-
Bloom was a turnover machine.
-
The Dodgers are paying 110% tax now, so Brasier's 9 million is really more like 19 million in total cost. They have money to burn, these guys.
-
Brasier did have great numbers with the Dodgers last year.
-
What about Clevinger - a PR restless dream?
-
Full disclosure: sometimes I exaggerate for dramatic or comic purposes. "Tito ended Foulke's career but it was worth it" is just a fun thing to say. And look at all the entertaining and informative discussion that statement has sparked. It's a win-win.
-
Sam is on the comeback trail!
-
I participated in that!
-
How many times have we seen pitchers leave a game in mid-inning and then go on the IL? Only all the time. For whatever reason, it was that last pitch they threw that indicated there was something wrong.
-
Sure.
-
Not just pitch counts but days between use.
-
If indisputable empirical proof is your standard, we might as well forget it. This is more about common sense.
-
Is anyone here familiar with the term "getting Scott Proctored"? It's widely accepted that Joe Torre ruined Proctor's arm through overuse. Does anyone really doubt that overuse can be damaging to an arm or that teams invest a lot of management effort in preventing this from happening?
-
The point is there is evidence of specific events having adverse effects.
-
As to 'specific events', there have been a number of examples in recent years of pitchers throwing no-hitters, throwing more pitches than normal in the process, and having this followed by a period of ineffectiveness or injury. It happened with Kluber when he was with the Yankees.
-
It definitely didn't. If Bloom had signed a freaking starting pitcher who could pitch I wouldn't have been as down on him for this signing. It was the allocation of resources that I hated.
-
Consider yourself lucky you were only 1 year old for the 1978 playoff game. Poor old Bob had a hand in that one too.
-
I never said he wasn't good, I just thought it was a bad signing once I realized he's an expensive DH. The Matsui comp has made me feel a bit better about him too.
-
Werner needs to be more directly involved in baseball operations, it's clear.
-
Poor moon. All he was trying to do was be thorough about the risks of signing a guy to a long term contract. I guess you might say he was too thorough in this case.
-
Yeah, it's crazy stupid. We have some good players right now, don't we? Devers, Story, Casas, Yoshida, Grissom, Duran, the bullpen...we're not a goddamn expansion team.
-
Nope, not a chance. Otherwise relievers would be doing this routinely.
-
Very unconvincing. Our two best relievers are past 35.
