    We missed a chance to gain on several teams, last night, but we are still sitting in the #1 WC slot. 45-36 BOS +1.5 44-37 TBR +0.5 44-38 TOR -0.0 40-39 CLE -2.5
  2. moonslav59
    Like Robles & Davis, last year. Highly probable. Schwarber was a surprise, too.
  3. moonslav59
    Astros are in the west.
  4. moonslav59
    Casas is on the IL and will not be ready, this year.
  5. moonslav59
    Did you or did you not tell me to "pump the brakes a little?" Pump the brakes on what? Does that have some unknown special meaning only to you? I hesitate to use the word "clarification."
  6. moonslav59
    I don't have my foot on the gas. I just stated what he's done in a small sample size and said, if he continues doing well, he'll stay in the rotation. Why is hitting the brakes needed on anything I said or implied? (Rhetorical question- don't answer.)
  7. moonslav59
    You don't need to be a big thing to be worth more than 3 months of Beni.
  8. moonslav59
    I get why we lost those 2, but we still had a very good chance to win at least 1 of those 2. I'm not saying the Cubs deserved to lose, but their loss in game 3 had as many what ifs as our 2 losses.
  9. moonslav59
    Hopefully, he recovers quickly and fully.
  10. moonslav59
    I hope they keep Wink in the rotation, assuming he continues doing well, until the IL starters return. His sample size is only 26 IP, but he was tearing it up in AAA, too (.532 OPS Against) Wink has a 134 ERA+, so far, and after his shaky first start, he has these numbers his last 4 starts: 3-1 1.96 (.623 OPS Against) 15 K 4 BB 23 Hits 23 IP (2.33 FIP) Anyone still miss a leftfield only Beni?

    Bobby Dee may still have a hot streak or two left in him, but I'm not sure how much longer he will have to show it. The trade deadline is about 4 weeks away.
  12. moonslav59
    I don't care for the "opener" strategy, either, but if you have to go with a pen game, it makes sense to line it up like Cora did, with the long man going second.
  13. moonslav59
    We lost 6-5 and 3-1. We had chances to win both, just as the Cubs had chances to win the one they lost. BTW, the Cubs scored some runs on errors, too, including in their 3-1 win in game 2. We outhit the Cubs 11-6 in game one. I think we could say we could have won that one.
  14. moonslav59
    I suspect Bloom will demote Crawford, Seabold, Bello and Winckowski once pitchers start coming off the IL, but I'd like to see us keep at least 1-2 as pen depth. DFA Robles and maybe demote Danish. Davis is out of options, as are most of the rest of our pen, except Sawamura, who I doubt will be demoted.
  15. moonslav59
    We were somewhat lucky to get that one win vs the Cubs, but we easily could have won 2.
  16. moonslav59
    The thing is, those "flickerings" are about as extended as his slumps, and some are blinding, white heat flickers. 2020 .436 in first 19 PAs 1.105 in last 73 PAs (much longer than the slump) 2021 .507 in first 92 PAs 1.103 next 41 PAs .622 next 177 PAs 1.110 last 143 PAs Or, .507 in first 92 PAs and .866 the last 331 PAs. (.000 OPS in 12 playoff PAs) 2022 .482 first 121 PAs .867 next 66 PAs .564 last 30 PAs
  17. moonslav59
    I'm not sure, if he's had nasty stuff like this before, but he's not having a season like this on smoke & mirrors. His stuff looks legit. (So did Barnes', last spring.)
  18. moonslav59
    I kept thinking maybe Bobby Dee is a warm weather hitter. It looks like that was just wishful thinking. I've not given up on him, yet, but 2 years in a row with these long and slow starts can not be tolerated.
  19. moonslav59
    The "flash" part of the question was not addressed. Homie was very good, last year, too.
  20. moonslav59
    You highlighted all the bad. Here is some good. 2022 57.2 IP 75 K 7 BB .585 OPS Against 0.90 WHIP The 11:1 K:BB ratio is astoundingly great. BTV has him valued at 4.9, which is pretty close to Bell's 5.6. We did get Schwarber for Aldo Ramirez. I think you over value Bell. I may be over valuing Walter.
  21. moonslav59
    How long must Schreiber do well, before he's not viewed as some "flash?"
  22. moonslav59
    True, but I left Whitlock off the list.
  23. moonslav59
    I would not give Walter for Bell. Maybe Downs or Groome & Jimenez?
  24. moonslav59
    Don't look, now, but with the 2 hits by Downs, he's now at a whopping .761! Potts had 3 hits for POR, while Van Belle went 6 IP w 1 ER (0BB-6Ks) GRE lost, but Drohan did okay: 5IP 5H 2ER 1BB 8K. Hickey w 2 Hits and 4 rbi. Mayer went 1 for 3 w 2 BB & a SB (11th) in a Salem loss.
  25. moonslav59
    Playing the Rays, you better not be looking ahead.
