Maybe Manfred will make a rule where the pitcher can only throw fastballs and any foul ball caught by someone in the stands is an out...

Blood would have been more helpful...

Yankees could inquire about Boyd. But he will cost much more than Stroman...

... which makes the acquisition of Cano even more perplexing...

More on him here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Sprowl

You’re on to him. There is no such person as “Bobby Dalbec.” It’s the Bellville Basher himself trying to sneak back into MLB under an assumed (and very unimaginative) identity...

And how many times did you fall for that?

Should we fear for your puppy?

If you use the values on http://www.baseballtradevalues.com, a package of Dalbec, Groome and Reyes (total value: 18) could get Wheeler and Smith (total value: 19.5). But is far short of acquiring Edwin Diaz (value: 47.3) in the same deal....

The Royals just released Lucas Duda. Watch Dombrowski be all over this...

Strickland isn’t likely to show anyone anything before the deadline passes. Bass is the type of player that makes me frustrated with Dombrowski. Why isn’t he making waiver claims on relievers? He claims failing infielders like Asche and Owings and Curletta for some reason, and then passed on Bass and Rosenthal...

These changes are 100% better than gimmicky “three batter minimum” rules...

Yes. You’re frustrated with Sale this year. As we all are. You vented this. And (hopefully) didn’t kick a puppy instead. That’s one of the reasons these boards exist. They’re good for puppies. (On the game thread, I referred to Sale as a genuine stopper, but in a sarcastic way for his new penchant for stopping winning streaks.)
-
But two good starts will. Sometimes those who want a player gone are just venting frustration online. Hey, if an angry post here or there keeps them from kicking a puppy, I can accept it. But the reality is, Sale or not, consensus has the Sox needing to go 5-2 vs TB and NY. We went 5-2. This is a good thing..,

I think Diaz still has a ton of value left, based on age, years of control, and salary. Buy Low opportunity or not, I think he’s out of the Sox price range. Shane Greene is more likely IMO. Dombrowski is quite familiar with him as he has acquired him before. And while Greene might be a Buy High candidate during a career-best season, he has a higher salary than Diaz, is older, and is only signed for 1 more year. If the Sox go scraping the bottom of the barrel, the recently deposed Greg Holland can probably be had for nothing more than the desire to acquire...

But the new baseball is in use everywhere. Essentially this mean the league OPS will rise with more hits, total bases, and home runs. I gave an example that Jason Bay’s OPS+ of 134 10 years ago was the same as Xander Bogaerts OPS+ at the time, but Bay’s OPS was almost 40 points higher. This is because the league OPS has also risen, with the Manfred Missile being a likely culprit. (A few ballparks have also changed in that time as well.) If anything, I see OPS+ as more useful in incorporating these changes in the game, because by comparing a stat to league averages it can catch and account for changes. Stats like OPS, BA, SLG, and home runs cannot do this. ERA+ also becomes more useful for the same reason...

As long as he isn’t old or injured, he’ll be fine. Maybe he won’t be as elite as he once was, but he’ll be fine...

This thread is sad. 10 days ago, the consensus was the Tampa and NY Series were “make or break” for the season. Anything less than 5-2 and it was time to scuttle and salvage. The Sox went 5-2. Exactly as many felt they needed to. But despite that success, it’s “Sale sucks!!” and “Bradley sucks!” And time to sell sell sell! Even when people get what they want...
-
Oh please. Only if you believe that this season is the beginning of the end, something many (me included) thought was true of Verlander back in 2015. And even if it is, can you at least pretend you remember a few bigger contracts that were traded? If Robinson Cano can be traded, who can’t be?

The Andrew Benintendi Performance Thread

.821 OPS since I dropped him entering tonight’s game (in which he has homered)... -
Not to mention, his last go round with free agency didn’t exactly go as planned. And he was two years younger and coming off a career year then...

07/28/19 Yankees (German) @ Red Sox (Sale)
notin replied to TylerD's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
If nothing else, I am starting to believe Chris Sale truly is a genuine stopper. -
Sure the Red Sox have made bad free agent signings. Every team has. And apparently the Sox fans never forget about the Lugo’s and Renteria’s of the world. Of course the Sox might have also made the single greatest signing in the history of free agency by inking a minor league deal to an obscure DH/1b from Minnesota...
