    I amended it to 28-52 after the weekend.
  2. moonslav59
    Yes, and obviously DD liked them when he got them in the first place. So, was Eovaldi a short or long term major move?
  3. moonslav59
    Yes, I know, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out he is working both angles in preparation to be a buyer or a seller (or both). I wonder if his contract running out soon makes him much less likely to choose the seller path.
  4. moonslav59
    Pretty sad, when Wright, Brewer and Workman are the only three pen guys we can have any confidence in, right now.
  5. moonslav59
    True. I also think Henry is right to demand better from DD and Cora. Counting all the dead money (Pablo & Castillo), he has spent way more than any other GM. Asking him to throw more money at the problem is neglecting the real problem and actually making it worse by allowing DD to think he can just spend his way out of any problems that arise out of signing the wrong free agents and emptying the farm of any true, quality reserves.
  6. moonslav59
    One could easily say that DD spent on the wrong talent, and he won't be given more money to fix his mistakes. We can "read into" it either way. Can anyone deny that our pen was never "talented" on paper, and expecting Cora to make it so was not realistic. IMO, Cora got the pen to over perform for the first 6-8 weeks of the season, and now reality is setting in. That's on DD. Also, how can Cora be blamed for the performances of our starters, even after the first two weeks and the whole "restgate" period expired? Our starters have been way to inconsistent at a time when we needed them to take some heat off the pen.

    Due to a separate off season signing not an in season move.
  8. moonslav59
    I think you over estimate the value some of the deadline players will get in return. Players like Greene, who are more than 2 month rentals, will get more, but there will be some quality players obtained for peanuts- just like EE and Jay Bruce showed.
  9. moonslav59
    Butler carried the lifeless 76'ers in the playoffs. I wouldn't under estimate his loss. You talk about Durant being 32 when he plays again, well Horford is 33 already. Yes, he will help, but he is not the same as he was even in 2018. I think the 76'ers and my Bucks got worse. If Leonard goes west, the East is wide open.
  10. moonslav59
    There may come a time where DD thinks, even if we have a chance for the wild card, we aren't going anywhere once in the playoffs. I'm not sure this will ever happen, but in 4 weeks we will know more.
  11. moonslav59
    Well, when you trade for 2 month rentals at the end of July, it can only be short term.

    Only Brewer is doing well, although I wanted him demoted earlier in the year.
  14. moonslav59
    His in-season additions have been significant.
  15. moonslav59
    Too funny!
  16. moonslav59
    Craziest day in NBS history. Tell me there was no collusion, when all these guys sign so quickly.
  17. moonslav59
    Even taking away the weekend, here are some numbers from May 27th to June 27th: 15.19 Weber 15.00 Poyner 9.00 DHern 8.10 Lakins 5.73 J Smith 4.76 JTaylor That's 37 IP from guys that should not ever be on the mound, unless it's a blow out. These guys should be 6th and 7th inning guys not 8th inning guys: 7.43 Velazquez 5.68 Walden These guys should be 7th and 8th inning guys not 9th inning guys: 7.43 Barnes 4.22 Brasier These are the only 3 pen guys getting the job done recently: 0.00 Wright 0.66 Workman 2.25 Brewer
  18. moonslav59
    With the, at one time, promising Walden experiment possibly coming to a close (9.72 ERA and 1.070 OPS against since June 9th), and Hembree on the shelf indefinitely, what is DD waiting for? A Wright miracle? Even if Wright pitches like he has in his great stretches of the past, he still cannot be enough to fix the pen. Yes, the weekend series contributed to these awful numbers, but here are some ERAs from the last 28 days: 15.00 Poyner 3 IP 13.50 Weber 1.1 9.00 DHern 3.0 9.00 Barnes 11.0 8.53 Shawaryn 12.2 7.50 Walden 12.0 5.91 Taylor 10.2 5.73 JSmith 11.0 4.50 Wright 4.0 (Starter ERAs: 5.89 Porcello, 4.91 Price, 4.38 ERod, 2.73 Sale, 2.16 Johnson)
  19. moonslav59
    I see it as more on DD. Top payroll: poor winter choices.
  20. moonslav59
    This weekend sucked. At this point I will not argue with anyone saying we are out of it. I still have hope, but it is now just a tiny sliver. We needed pen help long ago, but DD has chosen to wait it out. That wait may just turn us in to sellers.

    It does seem like once it all seems lost, this team lights the candle again.
  23. moonslav59
    Well said. This winter I suggested a lot of things, and some would have been horrible (like Cody Allen), but I did suggest LeMahieu and didn't get much agreement.
  24. moonslav59
    We won a ring as a Wild Card team once.
  25. moonslav59
    Both good for the Smeltics.
