    Instead of extending Chad, some might be thinking of.... hanging chad.
  2. moonslav59
    Duran will be traded. I don't think we pay his arb rate, next year.
  3. moonslav59
    AR did get a Cortisone shot after Monday's game, so...

    It's a controversial topic, and in my opinion often misused. Looking at just team CERA is not an accurate methodology. One major variable is the unbalanced innings caught from one pitcher to the next, so I have done studies of CERA and OPS Against pitcher by pitcher with a stronger emphasis placed on examples that have larger and more balanced sample sizes. I've done this for many years, and will for this year, when I have time. The results show Wong has been pretty good (vs Narvaez in 2025 and McGuire/Jansen in 2024 and others before that.) This is not to say Narvaez or others sucked, but Wong did get better results with more pitchers.

    He might be all we can get for Duran.
  6. moonslav59
    How could Brez let Hammy get away! And what about Blaze?
  7. moonslav59
    I'm a big CERA/OPSA when specific Catcher are catching specific pitchers guy, and my guess is Wong blows Gasper away. Gasper's sample size are small no point can be made. Wong has decent numbers in this area.

    If by "one of the worst" you mean bottom half, okay, but out of 15 teams... 2023: 7th in run diff and 8th in W-L. 2024: 8th in run diff and 9th in W-L. Last place sucked, but we were not bottom 3rd tier, for what that's worth.
  9. moonslav59
    4 behind the Yanks matters more to me than the "magic number," but even that seems like a fantasy. Get the pitchers some rest; line them up for the optimal playoff order; get players healthy and try to keep 'em sharp.

    Wong has had a few stretches where he looks like he can hit .725-.775, but then he keeps relapsing into .550-.650. His defense has improved some, and he has gotten good/better results from a few starting pitchers over the years. I agree. This winter should see a change made, and no Gasper should not be the #2. Number 2's play too often.
  11. moonslav59
    I Meant to write 25. I also wrote .350 AND 20-30 HRs. To think, he might have been .340 and 10 HRs, had he not tried to be Mighty Mouse.
  12. moonslav59
    Duran can barely get on base at .250. And, try with all his might, he wont reach 20 HRs. I'll take 65K% with 35% on base and 15 HRs.
  13. moonslav59
    Duran isnt close to .350
  14. moonslav59
    Isn't there someone else more worthy of slammin? I'm not asking anyone to praise him, but really. It's almost as bad as Fred's foaming with rabies Ceddanne attack dog.
  15. moonslav59
    Th guy is over .800 since his return. Most of our guys don't even return at all.
  16. moonslav59
    I'll take a 50% K rate, if the guy gets on base 35% and hits 20-30 bombs.
  17. moonslav59
    PCA blows Ohtani away on offense and defense, but he doesn't pitch. I'm not saying 86 IP from Ohtani is enough to outweigh the massive advantage PCA has as an everyday player this year, but 86 UP at sub 1.80 ERA is a lot of value. fWAR it's 9.9 to 3.8, and absurd difference. Ohtani has 2.9 pitching so adding is still way short. I agree on PCA, but the novelty of two-way players may not have worn off yet.
  18. moonslav59
    Yup. He might end up more than earning a slot or a chance. He may be given a shot others might not have gotten due to the contract, but Brez is not dumb enough to hand him any FT job based on a hope. He would at least have an option or two standing by, if the next KC experiment goes wrongly.
  19. moonslav59
    PCA .942> Ohatnai .902, yes But, add 86 IP at 1.79 ERA and it's close. If you add the BWAR, PCA wins easily 8.6 to 6.5.
  20. moonslav59
    True, but that's not the same as saying this... ....a pitcher that was clearly going to regress immediately.
  21. moonslav59
    If you meant he wasn't going to keep up the first half pace for the remaining part of 20216 and beyond, yes, but I don't think anyone expected a 4.60 ERA and FIP, either. 3.32 in 2017 does not look like regression.
  22. moonslav59
    Some pitchers develop a new pitch and improve beyond a half season.
  23. moonslav59
    I heard the talk by a few. If talk was fact, just because it turned out to be partially true, then what?
  24. moonslav59
    Some teams directly own the TV stations that air their games. Some do indirectly. Same with concessions companies, merchandising, security and other aspects of the game. Some are "on the books-" some are not. It varies from team to team. It's not really hiding the revenue, but it may be difficult to sort it out so every team is measured by the same stick.
  25. moonslav59
    LF/DH maybe full time.
