Yes, this is the bottom line. If you're complaining about being the team with the most titles this century, there's not much that can be done to make you happy.
-
It's easy to say, but the Dodgers were only getting one year of Mookie and had to pay him $27 million, so they weren't really in a position of having to give up a pile of goodies. -
I don't think they're all in on 2022 either, but I do think they had expectations of making the playoffs. I don't think they planned to have a fire sale in July. But they probably didn't completely rule it out, either.

I don't know. He's 35 and his 2021 fWAR was -0.1. He doesn't inspire much confidence.
-
Sometimes I really think you have to be a masochist to be a baseball fan. It's a game that often makes you feel like a little kid who just had his candy stolen.
-
If this team is going all in on 2022, Houck as closer and Whitlock in the rotation makes some sense. That's a big if, though.
-
Oh well, Renfroe is off to an unimpressive start, so we have some hopes there.
-
Diekman is just not very good. He was below replacement level in 2021...
-
In 2021 relievers pitched 18,212 innings, so 607 per team. A little bit of skewing from the use of 'openers', I would assume. I'm sure that will be noticeably higher this year.
-
He said otherwise, but said he was fine with the decision. Said all the right things, in other words.
-
I think that's kind of a package deal.

Trivia notes and questions (some of which may not be answerable)

Cool. -
Thanks.
-
I meant 2021, not 2022.
-
What's the leaderboard for 2021 look like?
-
Gaviglio - after that big innings year in 2019 he has hardly pitched since.
-
Yarbrough wasn't a reliever. He generally came in after an "opener".
-
And his innings and K/9 dropped precipitously the next two seasons.
-
Stanley averaged 3.7 K's per 9 for his career LOL
-
That's a pretty clear trend.
-
Max innings thrown by a relief pitcher each year would say a lot.
-
Stanley did have a rubber arm, no doubt. I don't think he threw that hard, though. Anyway, the modern trend is that guys throw a lot harder and throw less innings.
-
Did Bob pitch 3-4 innings every third day?
-
Yep, too hard to manage.
-
Nope, can't be done. Arms would fall off quickly.
