Next year the ALE plays the NLC and the ALW plays the NLE. Should be a more balanced schedule between the ALE and ALW.
-
Asking several times is not saying I am entitled to an answer.
-
Not obligated, of course, but this is a site for expressing opinions, too.
-
Still won't answer.

TOR has reached their make or break moment as they are riding about as high as any team could dream of riding. They have won 11 of 12, which includes sweeps of OAK & NYY. They have won 14 of 16. They play 9 of the next 16 vs TBR (6) and NYY (3) sandwiched around 7 vs MIN (3H and 4A). They finish with 3 vs BAL at home, so if they are looking odd before the last series, they should make it. The Yanks have an easier time, now but end with 9 vs BOS, TOR & TBR.

36-17 TBR 35-21 TOR 33-21 NYY 29-23 SEA 28-23 HOU 28-26 CWS 25-26 OAK 26-28 BOS Houston has not really been doing all that well.
-
What is weird about HOU are these records: 2-5 v DET 3-4 v KCR 3-4 v MIN 3-3 v BAL 2-2 v COL
-
When they play each other, it's guaranteed.
-
"Definitely?" So, because TBR raked BAL and HOU went only 3-3 (+8) vs them , that's supposed to be the r=telling match-up? Here's the differences: TBR played these teams 12-13 games more: TOR BOS NYY BAL HOU played these teams 12-13 games more... SEA OAK LAA TEX Edge TBR as harder over 30 games Then TBR v HOU 6 MIA v 6 SDP 4 PHI v 4 LAD 4 WSH v 3 SFG 3 NYM v 3 COL 3 ATL v ARI edge HOU, for sure over 20 games. Pretty close, overall.
-
Of course. I just threw those numbers out there to see who posters wanted, not really to argue about the numbers, but that number I put for Syndergaard is probably the most uncertain of all.
-
They are 5.5 games up on HOU and played... 19 games vs BOS 13 vs TOR (6 more to go) 16 vs NYY (3 more to go) 7 v SEA 7 v OAK 7 v LAA 7 v TEX 4 v PHI 3 v ATL 3 v NYM 3 v MIA 4 v WSH HOU played... 19 v SEA 15 v TEX (4 more to go) 13 v OAK (6 more to go) 6 v TOR 7 v BOS 6 v NYY 6 v BAL 6 v SDP 4 v LAD 4 v COL 3 v SFG (to play 3 v ARI) 6 or 7 more vs TOR, BOS & NYY seems more than having to play 3-4 gmes vs LAD, SFG, SDP, COL, ARI vs ATL, NYM, PHI, MIA, WSH
-
Why not answer my question? It's just asking for an opinion.

Rich Hill got $16M x 3 (2017-2019) after putting up these numbers (in backwards chronological order:) IP 110 29 39 8 4 58 20 195 99 24 Anibal Sanchez did pitch 3 seasons with 195-196 IP, but no more than 115 any other season, and he got $16M x 4 in 2013. Eovaldi got $17M x 4 after having just one season over 155 IP (that being in 2014) and only 2 seasons over 125 IP.

I can see how playing the NL West vs the NL East could make a game or two difference- or even more, but in all honesty, do you really think the AL West is equal or better than the AL East? 89-54 TBR (+177) 83-59 HOU (+178) 80-63 TOR (+167) 77-66 OAK (+61) 81-64 BOS (+52) 77-66 SEA (-57) 79-64 NYY (+27) 70-73 LAA (-72) 46-97 BAL (-257) 53-89 TEZ (-141) Because your points made make it sound like you think the unbalanced schedule means more than I think it could. Granted, TEX may be better than BAL. That's it. The rest are all worse, and the fact that we play 19 games vs 3 very tough teams and the ALW does not, is not outweighed by playing 5 or 6 games each vs mostly easier interleague teams. BTW, the NLE likely had the best last place team in the NL (WSH).
-
Probably right. He may take a 1 year deal to try and prove he can pitch well, but my guess is, someone takes a wild chance on him.
-
Why would they take a 3 year deal? This is why I think we go after Scherzer, Verlander or Greinke. 2-3 years deals are more likely and less dangerous, despite their ages.
-
I know it's early, and the new CBA may affect values and who will be spenders. It there is a "floor" put on budgets, we may see some teams spending that never did before. What do people think these FA pitchers will get, this winter, assuming no major changes to the CBA (age on opening day): 33 or Older: Here's my guesses without giving it much deep thought... Kershaw (34) $30M x 6 Scherzer (37) $33M x 3 Verlander (39) $27.5M x 2 Greinke (38) $25M x 3 R Hill (42) $20M x 1 Kluber (35+) $12M x 1 __________________________________ 32 or Younger Syndergaard (29) $30M x 7 Gausman (31) $27.5M x 6 R Ray (30) $25M x 7 Stroman (30) $22.5M x 6 ERod (28+) $20M x 6 Kikuchi (28 option) $20M x 5 If these contracts are what these guys get, who do you want?
-
I get what you are saying, but it takes two to make a trade, and not all GMs would give back what Bloom would want to "win the trade." Maybe nobody values Devers as much as Bloom. Maybe everybody values who Bloom wants in return more than Bloom does. I'm not "for" trading Devers, but I'd take Tatis for him, if the Padres were dumb enough to say offer him.
-
I think any GM would trade anybody for the right return.
-
I know it matters. They did play tougher out of league games, but to me, playing 19 games vs 3 from the Yanks, Rays, Jays and Sox outweighs that comp. The head to head division records have merit, too, but so does how well each division did vs the AL Central. Who is to say which value means more?
-
So the Rays now sit in the WC1 slot due to the O's not being able to slug their way to just one win. (Win% not games ahead) As of now, the Yanks are on the outside, looking in with SEA & OAK breathing down their necks. We are tied with the Yanks in the loss column, but nothing about the way they are playing says they will win both of those "extra" games. Here's the updated standings in the AL 89-54 Rays 83-59 Astros 82-61 White Sox 80-63 Jays Tied WC1 81 64 Red Sox Tied WC1 79-64 Yanks -1.0 77-66 A's -3.0 77-66 M's -3.0
-
harmony will have us believe it's because they faced the NL West while we faced the NL East.
-
We are seeing some amazing stuff from some of our better prospects over the past few weeks. I'm wondering what some winter rankings will show.
-
If the return is better, I'd trade anybody, but Devers is the best player we have, so it better be real good.
