Xander is due....
-
Should have never brought in Workman....yes, I'm the designated back seat driver.
-
Cora will tell you that it was about pitching match up.....that's what he always says
-
Turn around is fair play after last night.
-
2 man on, no outs, top of order.
-
Yeah, it's time to take the fight outside of this bar......
-
Oh, he's going to get hammered. It's just matter of if the ball is hit in the direction of a fielder. He needs to be lucky in order to survive.
-
Maybe we're not as good as we think we are.....have we overachieved? Rays with $83M payroll with not one single player making over $10M. We gave Richards $10M contract (1.5M for refusing 2022 club option). We're still the drunken sailor with no financial discipline.
-
Brandon Workman is in. We've officially given up on this game.
-
We play better on the road.
-
We did not lose any ground....2-2
-
We're be using 6 man rotation......4 mediocre starters! Sale can't get here fast enough.
-
Rays are tied 1-1, which means they'll win in the ninth....
-
That makes too much sense......really bummed Arroyo got hurt. He'll be that 'tough out' guy in my view. He was a first round pick after all.
-
Switching topic to 1B We always need to be mindful of what the organization is doing..... They have worked out Cordero at 1B his last couple of weeks in the minors. He is starting today at 1B against the Yankees. Are we waiting on Arroyo to return? Waiting on a trade? Or are we hoping for a miracle with Cordero? He gets hot the second time around? (I see that he struck out his first at bat.)
-
Cordero starting at 1B today. He needs to get hot right away. We should have training JD at 1B.
-
I'm not recommending trading away anyone. I'd wait on Sale before trading away any pitchers.
-
Is Scherzer > E Rod (projected $15M?) + Richards ($10M) + Perez ($6M). Bloom will not pull the trigger without knowing he can extend him. Then the question becomes how much talent do we give up? Will the Nationals be satisfied by quantity versus quality? Sale Scherzer Eovaldi Pivetta Houck
-
Richards did not cost us anything other than his paycheck. If someone would take the entire amount owed for remainder of season then no harm no foul. Having said that, we'd probably go for the infamous PTBNL.

Dear God Please make them stop!

Luxury Tax...revisited If the goal is to go over by less than $20M, then the penalties maybe insignificant. Penalties $4.0M 20% $6.0M 30% $8.5M 40% If you look at the penalties relative to total luxury tax payroll, than the penalty amounts look insignificant. Even at 40%, $8.5M on $230M payroll is less than 4% of the total. Assuming we're not hurt by nonfinancial penalties associated with going over the limit, than I'm with those not concerned about it. Yes, I've changed my my. Staying below $210M makes no sense. Bigger question is can we make a meaningful addition without giving up the future? I'm definitely opposed to trading player such as Bello.

Who is going to tell Sale not the max out? What you say is very logical. So do you get as many innings as possible in the minors thinking that will lessen his chance of hurting himself if he does 'push' little harder once he gets to the majors? What's the history of pitchers attempting to return and blowing his arm again? Anyone?
-
You don't ever want to perform unnecessary surgeries. But this TJ issue is certainly alarming. With so much money invested in these guys, I'm more inclined to think when in doubt, go ahead and do the surgery. It seems inevitably the surgery will be needed. Sale could have been ready for spring training had he had the surgery right away. Anyone going to the Portland game today? Can you stream it on your cell phone? Please?
-
There's no one that will give us the 'push' more than Sale. Today is another big day. Sale is scheduled to pitch in his 3rd rehab start. I do want to point out to the management that Sale is just not any pitcher. If he's healthy enough, he should be getting innings at the major league level. What's the big deal? Our current guys hardly go past 5 innings. It would be waste to pitch Sale in minors much longer. Will he get hurt easier pitching 4 innings in majors as opposed to in the minors? Are we afraid that Sale lacks confidence? That he'll cry if he gets shelled against major league hitting his first time out? I rather watch Sale work on his pitches than Richards. Don't waste his bullets in meaningless games.

I would go to my local bar to watch Sox games. I'd usually spend $25-30, not a lot but can add up. If I did this say 30 times a year, it's approaching $1000. I got smarter and subscribed to MLB.tv. for $125. I did not use to watch other teams but I seem to have more spare time. Best money I've spent.
