    0.7 in his last 40 games. 0.8 in last 28 games. 1.0 last 22 games. It's interesting how using chosen sample sizes can make a difference. (We all do it. I'm not casting stones, here.)

    I'm glad Brez bungled the Breggie negotiations. It doesn't change the fact that he is a bungler, but I'm glad we have Suarez, Durbin and Contreras over Breggie & Alonso. They are cheaper and better.
  3. moonslav59
    Yup. Just one of many blunders.
  4. moonslav59
    3 runs probably score, anyway, yes, but he still botched the play. That symbolized how he plays, to be. Too many base-running and defensive botches. Inconsistent batting. Saying inappropriate things to fans. Not making the trip to Toronto during COVID. It all adds up for me. I don't hate him. IMO, we had 4 OF'ers with Yoshida as depth. We should have traded him when his value was higher. I wasn't for just handing him away. My suggested trade offers were for real talent in return, not like others who said "Trade him for prospects."

    I'm so done with Duran. It's a shame we didn't trade him at his peak, or shortly afterwards. That game-ending play, last night seemed to symbolize who he is.

    With Crochet on the IL, not to mention Houck, Crawford, Sandoval & Oviedo, our 5 starters are all under 3.71. What a waste of a pretty awesome rotation. OPS Against .607 Suarez 2.93 ERA .624 Tolle 3.08 .629 Bennett 3.71 .709 Gray 3.12 .732 Early 3.64 Assuming Crochet replaces Gray, next year, we have aal 5 locked up for 5 years or more.

    Something many have been suggesting for over 2 years.

    Is a .633 OPS good, bad or awful? That's what batters are hitting against Whitlock, this year. It was .543, last year! .615 in a limited season in '24, and he sucked in '23 (.823.) .639 in 2022 His first year, he was at .631 in 2021 is about the same as this year. He had two better seasons than his first- by this measure. That being said, I'd keep him as our #2.

    Worst gut punch?
  10. moonslav59
    He hit the ball so hard, it was bound to be DPs.
  11. moonslav59
    Worst game of the year.
  12. moonslav59
    I saw more hope in many other prospects traded than Jordan. Matt Lugo, Yorke and Sam Travis Maybe these guys are close: Northcutt, Kavadas, Coffey
  13. moonslav59
    That man was a HITTER!
  14. moonslav59
    Here are the numbers of prospects Brez has traded for: 1.162 Ronny Hernandez (Chris Murphy trade) .777 Luke Heyman (Hoppe) .749 I Jackson (Grissom) .744 A Guzman (Jh Garcia & Travieso) ,706 B Ward (Bernardino) .705 Nate Baez (T Gray) .786 YRod, .754 OPSA Holobetz & .822 Phillips (CB pick via trade for Priester)(Priester) .570 OPSA Bennett (Perales) .656 OPSA Jose Bello (Devers) .793 OPSA Ziehl (Sandlin & Hicks)

    Maybe MIL will be looking to trade William Contreras after this season. I think he has one year left. MIL loves trading with us! FA Options might be: 2B Albers DH Acuna or Tesoscar It's not a great class of FAs. It looks like trades might be the best path. Maybe we can find the next Harrison, Priester, Drohan, Jordan, DHam & Tibbs to trade for the next bum.

    Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame slugger Jim Rice experienced uncorrected vision and eyesight issues during the final years of his Major League Baseball career. These visual challenges, compounded by lingering elbow injuries, directly contributed to a sharp decline in his batting performance and his retirement after the 1989 season.

    Exactly, and to see them play this much with so few injuries to everyday players is the real eye-opener. Anthony has been out all year, but we had 4 OF'ers and Yoshida to help at DH. Romy being hurt did not help, but he was not really a lock at any FT position. IDK just got hurt, but he was the utility guy. Story's injury cleared some room for these guys to play. Gasper is playing because Narvaez has sucked, and Wong might be traded soon. The all healthy offense was never impressive: C Narvaez/Wong 1B Contreras/Romy 2B Mayer/ Romy/IKF SS Story/Mayer/IKF 3B Durbin/Mayer/IKF LF Duran/Anthony/Yoshida CF Rafaela/Duran RF Anthony/Anthony DH Anthony or Duran/ Yoshida & Romy __________________________________ 287 PAs in 2025 who were viewed as AAA depth if all were healthy 123 Monasterio 111 Gasper 41 Sogard 12 Seigler 10 Eaton

    Matz was pretty good. We played Toro, Dom Smith and later added Nate Lowe play 1B rather than call up Jordan. We also had Toro play 3B, when Breggie got hurt and had Romy, DHam, Mayer and others as depth oncer Breggie went down. Jordan was never mentioned as an option that I heard of. I hope he does well with the Cards, but he never impressed me any more than so many others like Lars, Bobby D, Chavis, Casas ...

    I read years later, it was his eyesight and he did not want to wear glasses. He did not like contact lenses, either.
  20. moonslav59
    His OBP is pathetic. I see several better choices.
  21. moonslav59
    Once we traded for Willson, yes.
  22. moonslav59
    Yes, and $79M/5 was not much AAV added, and no Wacha $7M, Hill $5M and Strahm $3M might have been enough to balance it enough for JH. Then, we don't add Yoshida in 2023 and make up for the bad pitching or no Story signing from 2022 by signing a SS/2Bman.
  23. moonslav59
    I love this one almost as much as the DHam- pining posts.
  24. moonslav59
    Yup, and since nobody wanted him Rule 5, the year prior, I'm not sure any GM saw the 400 foot bombs as a kid as anything that special.
  25. moonslav59
    Yes. I seriously doubt JH would have allowed Kyle & Trevor signings in 2022.
