  1. The Bucks lost Brogdon, the 2018 Rookie of the Year. They will also lose a couple role players.
  2. I think the big 3 will be fine as well, but the point was that they all need to start pitching better.
  3. ERod & Price have been okay, but over the last 4 weeks... 4.21 ERod 4.55 Sale 5.40 Price 5.85 Porcello
  4. Yes, but we also need the big 4 starters to start pitching like a big 4.
  5. Back in his old stomping grounds.
  6. Vazquez Makes the All Star Team! Felipe, that is.
  7. Maybe let him play 2B again! LOL
  8. It is a gamble, but anyone we put out there instead is a bigger gamble.
  9. I think you will be surprised how little some very good pitchers get in return via summer trades. We'll see. So far, this year (and last summer, too) the returns on trade have been very low.
  10. True, but the writing was all over the wall with Irving.
  11. I've seen both play once in Portland. I will say, Dalbec is twice the defender Chavis is at 3B, and I'm not the only one who thinks that. BTW, I did mention Chavis at 2B and Dalbec at 1B next year.
  12. Of course beating the best teams is better. It gives them a loss and amounts to a 2 game swing per game. My point was that, if they are 13-3 vs two key opponents, then their record vs other teams must be worse, and it is. It wasn't meant to be a statement on importance.
  13. Not really, Moreland, Pearce, Nunez and Holt are all free agents after 2019. We'll need to fill 2B (Chavis & Marco/Chatham) and 1B (Dalbec & Chavis) I'm fine with trading Dalbec, if we can get a much better player than by trading someone like Shawaryn, but I don't think it's a clear move. I'm not sure we want a line-up with 2 high K guys like Chavis & Dalbec, but our budget will be tight again next year, and 1B/2B is a big area where we can cut major expenses and maybe not lose any ground.
  14. Betts would make 6 in the top 14! I assume you are talking mostly about our pitchers.
  15. Devers is ahead of JD in hitting, but your point is well-taken. I don't get the rational. We just had several days off (yes with travel), and the AS break is coming soon. BTW, Vaz ranks 13th in the AL in wRC+ since May 1st. JBJ is 12th. I'm counting on ... Marco Freakin' Hernandez!
  16. Yes, I get it, but my point is we should be able to get 1-2 decent pitchers without giving up Casas, Dalebec, Duran, Mata, Chatham, DHern, Groome, Houk or Flores.
  17. Maybe he'll be Little Big Man.
  18. AL Leaders: wRC+ 184 Trout 151 Santana 148 Bregman 144 Devers 139 Voit, Vogelbach & Brantley 138 LeMahieu & Dozier 137 Bogey 135 Moncada 134 Chapman 133 JD Martinez 27th Betts at 121 Since May 1st: 187 Trout 162 Devers 160 Santana 152 Torres 151 LeMahieu 150 Bregman 148 Bogey 145 Ohtani 137 Brantley & Voit 134 JD Martinez 132 JBJ 132 Vazquez Can you believe Vaz & JBJ in the top 13 in a pretty significant sample size of 2+ months!
  19. The only pitchers we have with an ERA under 4 over the last 4 weeks: ....but look at some of the WHIP! 1.69 Workman (1.50 WHIP) 1.74 Brasier (1.26) 1.86 Taylor (1.03) 2.16 Johnson (1.80 & on IL) 3.38 Hembree (0.38- tiny sample size) 3.75 Brewer (1.75) 3.86 Lakins (1.71) 3.86 JSmith (1.29) No starters. 4.21 ERod 4.55 Sale 5.40 Price 5.85 Porcello The worst (8+ IP) 11.42 Shawaryn 9.90 Walden 8.18 Barnes Last 14 days (3+ IP) 1.59 Brasier (1.06) 2.70 Workman (1.50) 3.00 J Smith (1.00) 3.00 Price (1.33) 3.60 Taylor (1.80) 4.32 ERod (1.26) 5.40 Wright (2.00) 6.23 Velazquez (1.61) 7.71 Brewer (1.93) 7.71 Sale (1.54) 12.27 Barnes 14.54 Walden 15.63 Porcello
  20. Maybe Beni will now go on a white hot hitting streak!
  21. Addison Reed did not cost a Ty Buttrey. While Beeks has looked good after the trade, not many cared when we sent him packing to get Eovaldi. I think we can get 1-2 solid pitchers- not great for scraps that may or may not turn into Beeks or Buttrey.
  22. The Astros are pretty scary when all are healthy, and they may make a big splash at the deadline. I'm not counting us out, yet. One long winning stretch may get us right back into the conversation.
  23. Man! This is sad. When healthy, this kid was one of the best.
  24. Yes, it is probably his best defensive position. He's probably better on defense than Holt, and I feel he is clearly better than Nunez.
