    Ahh, yes. I did. Thanks. Well, it will help when he comes back.

    It's been a strength not a weakness.

    We'd have never heard the end of it, if we lost the game. It makes me wonder, if the "hindsighters" now think they were good choices, of if Cora just got lucky. I do have a question: is Hembree hurt? The guy has been pretty good, but we hardly use him. He's only faced 12 batters since May 29th (19 days) In his last 8 games: 5.2 IP 0 ER 4H 0 BB 8 Ks He hasn't been used since June 10th.

    Porcello's better WAR ranking than other categories is in large part a result of IP. 2016-2019 IP 749 Scherzer 748 Verlander 698 Porcello 689 Sale 669 Kluber 663 Greinke Only 22 pitchers have 595+ IP (Less than 1 per team) Only 52 pitchers have over 500 IP (less than 2 per team) Only 93 teams have 400+ IP (about 3 per team) I'm not downplaying innings. They are a huge asset, and that's why WAR has him as more valuable than the other categories I listed.

    Huge win! Good to see Brasier getting some redemption. We got some key hits in a low hit game. That's something we haven't seen a lot of recently. Porcello was buttah! (I'd have left him in for the 8th.)

    On how Porcello ranks... From 2016-2019 (144 pitchers with 350+ IP) WAR: 21st at 10.6 (ahead of Lester, Price & Archer) WHIP: 32nd at 1.21 ERA-: 48th at 90 xFIP: 69th If you go by 1-30 are number ones, and 31-60 are number twos, then one can easily argue Porcello is a solid #2 or even a low #1. I would never call him a #3. He's way better than just about every team's #3, if not all of them.
  7. moonslav59
    Some might argue Cole is better (Verlander 1/ Cloe 2).

    Our OPS is .999 the last 7 days, but here is an OPS breakdown of the last 28 days: 1.057 JBJ 1.013 Bogey .990 JD .975 Holt .959 Pearce (22 PAs) .909 Devers .775 Beni .766 Betts .750 Marco .660 Vaz .655 Nunez .633 Chavis .590 Leon (19 PAs) Now, that 7 day list... 1.553 Bogey 1.209 JBJ 1.174 JD 1.169 Devers 1.068 Holt 1.008 Chavis .957 Vaz .900 Betts .794 Beni .473 Nunez .385 Marco .200 Leon OPS Against last 28 days (50+ PAs unless noted) .401 Shawaryn (35 PAs) .441 Workman .480 Sale .547 Hembree (35) .647 Price .698 Porcello .719 Brewer .752 DHern (18) .778 Brasier (34) .793 ERod .806 Lakins (32) .813 Barnes .881 Walden .917 Velazquez (28) .928 Johnson (15) .990 Weber 1.000 Taylor (30) 1.167 Smith (35) 1.286 Poyner (16) Can we end the Taylor-Smith experiment and trade for a solid RP'er very soon?
  9. moonslav59
    I know Smoltz played one more year after Boston. I think it was STL.
  10. moonslav59
    It's not China Jack; it's back to back Jack!
  11. moonslav59
    We have Porcello, Price and then ERod for the next 3 games. IP per start 6.0 Sale 5.8 Porcello 5.6 ERod 5.1 Price (was pulled very early in two games and is 5.9 in his other 10 starts)
  12. moonslav59
    I was surprised they spent big on Verlander, and I think they view that deal as the one splurge they will do.
  13. moonslav59
    Total R-L-R line-up, today. I like our chances.
  14. moonslav59
    He's got to get over his 1st inning yips. The first batter of the game has a .143 BA and OBP vs Rick, but here are his runs allowed by innings: 10 in 1st (14 games) 7 in 2nd (14) 10 in 3rd (14) 8 in 4th (13) 5 in 5th (13) 2 in 6th (10) 1 in 7th (5) 2 in 8th (2) Seems worse than this lin inning one, ately.
  15. moonslav59
    I can understand the Rays, but the Astros are needlessly cheapies.
  16. moonslav59
    Sale was grossly underpaid before his raise: Porcello is not being overpaid, right now. Many felt Sale would make more than $30M per year, and with the deferred money, his $29M a year is really less than that. I do not think Porcello will make $20M+. I could be wrong, and comparing him to the older Keuchel was not a good comp on my part. I could see him making $16-17M tops, but I would not offer him more than $15M x 3 or $14M x 4 years, and I'm a big Porcello supporter. I loved the extension when many did not, because he was in prime the whole time. I'd start with an offer of $50M/4. Second offer: $42M/3. If he says no, maybe I'd go as high as I said above, or maybe I just offer him a QO and be fine with either way it ends up.

    We do have a significant amount of days off coming up soon, not even counting the 4 day all star break. We'll probably stick with 13 pitchers until a need arises on the bench.
  18. moonslav59
    They do play in the easiest division in MLB, but yes, they are a formidable opponent. It's time for us to show the good team that we are better.
  19. moonslav59
    Yes, but not enough to bring us out of the bottom 3 or 5 systems in MLB.
  20. moonslav59
    Well said.
  21. moonslav59
    Who is this Marco guy? Never heard of him! (lol)
  22. moonslav59
    Actually, I was thinking of this year and the trade deadline. As for 2020, I think it's about the same. There will be no money to spend on 2B. I think it will be Chavis and Marco at 2B and/or Chavis/Dalbec/Oclimey at 1B.
  23. moonslav59
    I don't think any GM thinks of Sale and Porcello as being close in value.
  24. moonslav59
    Right now 5 AL teams are already toast (BAL, KC, TOR, DET & SEA) and it is my opinion, the White Sox and Angels will be sellers by July. There's even a chance one from the Guardians, Rangers or A's might be sellers. (The Guardians have been shopping SP'ers even as they compete.) In the NL, things look pretty bunched up near the last WC slot, but IMOthe Cubs and Phillies will likely have a solid lead on many teams still "in it" now. Miami and SF are all but dead now. Add Cincy, Pitt & WSH and that's 5. That makes 10 MLB teams out of it by mid June. Add CWS, LAA, NYM and SD, and we're up to 14- almost half the teams. Add the Guardians, who are already looking to sell and maybe 1-3 teams from AZ, COL, TX & OAK, and we should see over half the teams as seellers by the end of July.

    Sale was making peanuts. Sale is way better than Porcello. Sale did not get a very long deal.
