  1. It's a wonderful time for a moon dance...
  2. BTV has him valued at 2.4. K Lee was valued over 11 when the deal was made and is now at 8.4. We also got Winckowski from the Mets, and he is rated at 3.3 but is doing very well, right now.
  3. Beni was nothing special on defense. Just because we had some poor to average fielders in LF before Beni doesn't mean he was good. Kike & Verdugo are already better after Beni. (BTW, Franchy had a better UZR/150, too, but I wouldn't call him better.) Here are all the ones better before: Reddick Ellsbury JBJ DMac Cespedes Castillo Gomes Crawford, Bay & Nava were about the same. Who the hell cares about Beni's defense of the loss of it?
  4. ...and more pitches near the strike zone.
  5. Yes, and it could happen to young prospects raking in AAA, too.
  6. That's an amazing stat. We are 6-8 when allowing 5-7 runs and 2-3 when allowing 8-9 runs. The Yanks are 0-9 and 0-3 in those two subsets. They are also 5-6 when allowing 4 runs. We are 3-5.
  7. Eovaldi has a better OPS against than any starter on our team. He's been bitten by untimely hitting and low run support, but is doing better than he has in a long time, except for maybe the tail end of 2018. Richards is doing well, but he has been walking too many hitters and falling behind on the counts. He seems to bear down and avoid untimely hits, but is that sustainable?
  8. I know it sounds like I don't think Duran is ready, but actually I'd love for him to be on the team right now, because it would mean Bloom & Co. thinks he's ready for the bigs. I trust they know more than we do. Duran will get the call, probably before September. I think it is already past the extra year of team control cut-off, so that can not be used against him. I hope he does well when he does get the call. We need something to boost this offense.
  9. OPS Against 2021 .648 Eovaldi .657 Pivetta .658 Pérez .749 Richards .832 ERod Pen: .413 Barnes (for reference, Uehara’s 2013 season was .400) .541 Ottavino .559 Valdez .637 Hernandez .660 Whitlock .785 Taylor .806 Houck .821 Sawamura .912 Andriese
  10. About time we play these guys, What a messed up schedule!
  11. Tough and long stretch: 3@NYY 1 MIA 3 HOU 4 TOR 2@ATL **** 3 @KC **** 3@TBR 3 NYY 4 KC 3@ OAK 3@ LAA **** 3 PHI ****all star break**** 4@ NYY 3@TOR 4 NYY 4 TOR 3@ TBR (during trade deadline and into August)
  12. Hey, we have this dude in AAA, right now, who has 1.109 OPS after 20ABs. He even has some ML experience and is said to have “all the tools.” Name: Franchy Cordero
  13. He’s playing on the Olympic qualifying team and may not be deemed “ready” by management, anyway
  14. Dalbec hits lefties well, and to me, he needs more time. If we had someone to call up, maybe. We don’t. Nobody but me likes Ockimey.
  15. some awful slumps in process: 7 days .056 Bogey .105 Kike .125 Marwin .200 Santana .500 Dalbec .583 Vaz .667 Verdugo & Devers 14 days .243 Marwin .359 Kike .501 Bogey .513 Dalbec .608 Vaz
  16. I remember Houston helping Charlie Morton find a new approach at something like 32-33 years old. He wasn’t bad before but I’m hoping this turns into something like that. Perez did have one of his best WHIP seasons, last year. Maybe with Pivetta, too.
  17. This would be a great time to pull off a big win streak or winning stretch. I like the pitching match up. I hope we keep Kike from the one slot going forward. I’d prefer Arroyo in the 1 or 2 slot and Verdugo in the other.
  18. Verdugo, Kike, Renfroe, Cordero and Marwin (JD in a pinch) was supposed to hold us over to Duran and maybe Santana. This was also supposed to be a bridge year.
  19. Will anyone claim him, or do we work out a trade? Probably we get nothing.
  20. How do GMs know who will sign for less and by how much?
  21. Probably. There are cases where a team has found the secret to making a pitcher improve drastically. Maybe, for once, we are that team.
  22. Well, I stayed away from the thread to get a break from some negativity, and maybe that was the mojo we needed... lol. Nice game. Perez is officially our #1 or ace or whatever you wanna call your best starter. Makes me think of all the times I asked myself, “How do other teams get the most out of these average Joe types.” Now, we are doing it! Thanks, Bloom!
  23. I guess I'll never understand what is so dismaying about any player(s) going on a 3 game slump- no matter who they are facing.
  24. I put it under Ho Hum, because it was rather questionable. The money helped the Yanks and kept us from signing 1-2 other FAs. If Frank German works out, it's a good deal. If we make the playoffs in part because Ottavino did well, it's a good deal.
