    ...only if it starts changing towards the good.
  2. moonslav59
    I don't think he meant as trade commodities.
  3. moonslav59
    Yes, and when you trade for a pitcher, only the pro-rated portion counts. Plus, teams often will pay part of a salary dump deal.
  4. moonslav59
    Team record in a starter's starts is better than just the W-L record of the SP'er, but the stat is so flawed in it's not really a stat I think is very useful.
  5. moonslav59
    That's a similar reason why I had hoped the Yanks got Harper or Machado- or both.
  6. moonslav59
    Are the Twinkies still your bitches?
  7. moonslav59
    It was certainly worth it. Soon, we pay the consequences, which is fine with me. I expected it all along. I just hope we make the lull short and not too bad, although real bad may help us draft well and do better in the extended future.

    Most certainly the best game of the year for me to watch. I'm hopeful this will be a spring board for us and the beginning of a rough stretch for the Spankees. We'll see, tomorrow. We have to break the mold of following up big wins with worse losses. JBJ getting hot again would be a big plus. Bogey, Beni, Moreland, Chavis and just about everyone came through, but the performance from Porcello may be the best thing about tonight.

    Happ=Porcello
  10. moonslav59
    ...at least we have 3 SP'ers with an ERA at 4.10 or under.
  11. moonslav59
    ...and robo umps would lessen ejections immensely.
  12. moonslav59
    Robo Umps NOW!
  13. moonslav59
    Then they must do very well vs bad teams.
  14. moonslav59
    Yes, and then some!
  15. moonslav59
    Yankee SP'er ERAs 4.03 German 4.20 Paxton 4.46 Tanaka (after 2 IP tonight) 4.50 Sabathia 4.50 Loaisiga 4.58 Green 5.23 Happ
  16. moonslav59
    Man, I wish we had SP'ers like the Yankees have!
  17. moonslav59
    Wins, losses, saves and blown save are very important, but how they are assigned is flawed and often times comical. We hear a lot about how flawed WAR, UZR/150 and other metrics are, so it seems fair to point out the flaws in some traditional stats, especially those that involve rules developed years ago that have serious flaws.
  18. moonslav59
    I'm with you, and even if Eovaldi becomes the next Koji, we could still use a solid set up man.
  19. moonslav59
    Slumping? The guy has had 7 PAs since his return. I guess you can call it a slump, but he's only played 1 full game since coming back. Before his return he has these most recent numbers: .818 in 22 most recent PAs 1.000 in his previous 60 PAs. .859 since April 5th (146 PAs) Nobody could use those numbers. Plus, some of the 1Bman you listed on the contenders could be moved to DH, or MM could DH (or platoon 1B/DH). He could even play LF.
  20. moonslav59
    Not the entire staff. ERod has been very good, Price, too. Workman has done pretty well, but as a whole, the pitching staff has sucked way too often, which implies not all the time.
  21. moonslav59
    It's not a spin. Nobody likes the way our pen has pitched overall, but more games have been lost by our starters than our pen, and it's not even close! That's not spin. Our SP'ers and pen have both sucked far too often.
  22. moonslav59
    I doubt Duran ever makes a ML splash. I think we trade JBJ and sign or sign or trade for a cheap, defensive CF'er. We may also try to move Chavis to LF, if Dalbec or Ockimey convince management they can play at the ML level next year AND we look to cut salary in 2020.
  23. moonslav59
    Porcello lets up a lot of bombs, and the Yanks have teed off on him often, but these 4 Sox players, combined, have 9 HRs in about 110 ABs vs Tanaka: 3 JD 2 Moreland 2 Beni 2 Betts These 4 have 10 HRs off Porcello but in 143 ABs: 3 EE 3 Hicks 2 Gardner 2 Did
  24. moonslav59
    Maybe seeing the wall in LF makes him want to go that way.
  25. moonslav59
    I doubt we trade Moreland. We will use Chavis at 2B. Also, the only team that might want Moreland would be a contender. Not only would they probably want us to pay part or most of his salary, they'd probably not want to part with a RP'er, because they can't afford to weaken their pen for a playoff run. A 3 team deal might be the only way to make it happen. Moreland to a contender. A prospect to a third team. A RP'er to us from the 3rd team looking to shed salary or a FA to be rental.
