    True, but he had a few excellent seasons not named 2013.
  2. moonslav59
    I think our offense is deep, and it will show by season's end. We just had a few guys in slumps, early.
  3. moonslav59
    We had our chances. I was at the game. Seemed like the guys who needed to get the big hit got the big one at the wrong time (JBJ & Bogey solo blasts). Errors ruined Sales decent outing, although the pen looked good. We could use a couple W's this weekend.

    Maybe a steep hill?

    You saber geeks!
  6. moonslav59
    Because minor league chick dig the long ball?
  7. moonslav59
    Not you. A while ago someone was talking about him not being good since 2015.
  8. moonslav59
    Actually, he started heating up on May 20, 2018. May 20-31: .979 OPS (all with no HRs). It is the exact same date he started doing well this year. (Yes, his June of 2018 saw a .653 OPS- not good, but way better than .450.) From July 2 to the end of the regular season (259 PAs): .823 OPS, including 32 XBHs. 40 playoffs PAs: .835 OPS (5 XBHs) That's about an .825 OPS with 37 XBHs in his last 300 PAs of 2018. People act like it was so long ago he showed signs of extended bat life.

    It's still a little down, but with Leon catching him, there's no stopping... Chris Freakin' Sale!
  10. moonslav59
    Yes, and that is a much smaller sample size. I'm okay with the choice, and it did not really surprise me. Porcello is looking very good since Leon returned, so we gotta like that.

    While I don't think the odds of a reset after 2019 or 2020 are as high as I once did, I still think it is possible (maybe more after 2020 than 2019). I do think staying under the $20M line may be a high priority. If that is true and JD stays, it's almost certain Porcello does not come back.

    Ockimey with 3 BBs. O Hernandez with 2 hits and 2BBs Witte with the 3-run job. Some guy named Marco Hernandez went 2 for 4. Feltman lowered his ERA to 6.23 with 2 Ks and o ERs in 1 IP. Duran goes 3 for 4 with a BB and a 2B. He's hitting .408 (1.024 OPS) Fitzgerald went 4 for 5 with 3 rbi. He's upto .850 OPS. Casas with his 7th dinger.

    My Bucks are s***ing the bed after going up 2-0. [/bIt doesn't matter, since the Warriors have been preordained the 2019 NBA Champs.
  14. moonslav59
    JBJ has begun going to LF. Is his slump over? Will he bust out big time, or is this just a tease? He's brought his OPS up from .421 to.511 in just 4 games. He's 6 for 18 with 2 Hrs and 2 2Bs. Interesting note: before this mini-hot streak, he had as many BBs (16) as hits, but he has not walked in these 4 games.
  15. moonslav59
    This is the context I meant my statement to be taken: Personally, I think Henry wants to reset after this year, especially since we won in 2018, and some of the pressure is off. If this is true, it's a major budget constraint that pretty much means we lose every FA-to-be and can't replace anybody through cheap free agents. If we set the limit at the $19.9M over mark, we will have the ability to keep JD or sign someone (cheaper) to replace Porcello and/or JD. If we set the line at $39.9M over the mark, we can stay about as competitive as we are now, but may have to lose Porcello and replace him from within or with a cheaper FA. If we are okay going over $40M, we can keep everybody and maybe add a moderate FA somewhere (pen, 1B, 2B?). To me, the budget Henry sets or strongly suggests will be the major factor in what happens next year and what ends up happening with Betts after 2020. If we reset after this year, we may be able to afford to pay Betts (and the tax) afterwards.

    Before the year started, I suggested Leon catch Sale & Price, based on past CERA and related numbers, but Vaz has caught Price more. CERA/OPS Against Price: 2.76/.632 w Leon (199 Innings) 4.25/.732 w Vaz (299 Innings) (The gap was wider in 2018: Leon 2.37/.587 & Vaz 4.68/.780. This year, Price has 0.00/.474 with Leon in just 5 innings & 3.75/.705 with Vaz in 36 innings.) Porcello 4.04/.723 w Leon 4.32/.751 w Porcello (2018: 4.25/.693 w Leon in 186 innings & 5.40/.863 w Swihart in 5 inn.- none w Vaz. 2019: 2.82/.606 w Leon in 38.1 innings, 5.93/.871 w Vaz in 13.2) Sale is a no brainer for Leon. ERod, it matter not.

    Certainly a couple options. Donaldson needs to show he's healthy and good enough. Abreu makes sense, assuming the cost is not absurd. The self-imposed budget limit is going to be the biggest factor, IMO.
  18. moonslav59
    Chavis can play 1B, and Holt can in a pinch. I think it comes down to who we think will do better going forward.
  19. moonslav59
    Rafael Freakin' Devers!
  20. moonslav59
    Ryan Freakin' Weber!
  21. moonslav59
    I doubt Porcello comes back, even if we lose JD to the option & free agency.
  22. moonslav59
    I agree, but a choice might need to be made before he does. I'd be okay with keeping Pearce over Nunez, but I'd want Holt out of the 3.
  23. moonslav59
    You won't hear it from me. Chavis stays. (He'd have to go on a very long slump for me to even start to think otherwise.) Pedey will not be DFA'd, so if he is healthy enough to be on the 25 man roster and does not want to retire, it will come down to keeping 2 out of these 3: Nunez, pearce or Holt (who apparently has 1 option left, that he can refuse). My choice would be to trade or DFA Nunez or Pearce. Since Chavis & Holt can play 1B, I'm inclined to say good bye to Pearce, unless he starts hitting real soon.

    Can anyone explain why a 3rd grade sprain is newsworthy years later? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/05/andrelton-simmons-angels-grade-3-ankle-sprain.html (Just kidding!)
