    Better than not returning. Hopefully the plan is to have our full team ready for the playoffs, though not taking anything for granted.

    IKF might not be talented enough to replicate what he was doing before his injury. He did a great job for a while.

    I had never heard of him until the very underrated Pump Up the Volume came out. I still have Everybody Knows burned into my memory cells. After I checked him out, I stumbled onto Hallelujah, sung by Jennifer Nettles. I don't recommend anyone blowing out their ears drums, but I like to listen to her version at a pretty decibel.

    I saw them at the Meadowlands in maybe 1988. It was Aerosmith, Deep Purple, and Guns & Roses. Funny part is I went with my little brother, and Aerosmith was the headliner, but neither of us had an interest in them. I was there for Deep Purple, and my brother thought they were flawless. And he was there for GNR, who I was impressed with. I think we left in the middle of Aerosmith's second song, and were absolutely the only people walking through the parking lot. And I like Aerosmith, but Deep Purple and GNR were so great, and you can only absorb so much music at once.

    Another great song.

    Greatest lyricist of all-time, and it is not particularly close. Modern Times is one of the great albums ever, and was written while he was probably collecting SS.

    Kasmir is one of my favorite. Boogie with Stu gets almost no air time, and is a great tune.
  8. JoeBrady
    I can support that, but there is no way of telling what Gray going to do or why.

    If you were basing the Grichuk signing on his 2025 results, he had a .703 against lefties. And most people in here wanted Yoshida cut. I'd have had no problem trading Duran for prospects, but you'd need to have acquired a better option at DH.
  10. JoeBrady
    It's why I usually don't come in here until the following day.

    He's in my bio-pic, The Accountant.

    It's all 20/20 hindsight. Bleday had a -.04 bWAR last year, and Grichuk had a -0.8 last year. There was not a single person in the entire world that would've thought replacing the 4.9 Duran with a -0.8 Grichuk was a good idea.
  13. JoeBrady
    You want Grichuk, and Grichuk is not a good player.
  14. JoeBrady
    If they wanted to rest the kids, they could easily do so with Bello. Either go to a 6-man rotation, and use Miller or Guerrero as an opener, or rotate the kids thru the minors and go with a 5-man rotation. IMHO, we don't need another starter. We have 6 SPs. It's a question of how we want to use them.

    No chance I am promoting KC. His head is probably already shaky. I don't want him playing at Yankee Stadium with the season on the line. If he was a starting in 2027, I'd be real happy, and a little shocked.
  16. JoeBrady
    Providing data is not reaching for numbers. You're trying to predict the future. All data is relevant.
  17. JoeBrady
    Grichuk has a negative bWAR over 2025/26 and Bleday was cut by the As. Hoping that either of them was better than the 4.9 bWAR Duran is wishful thinking. Even now, Grichuk has -0- HRs and a 16/2 K/W in his last 65 ABs.
  18. JoeBrady
    An informal rule to be sure, but yeah, everyone has a weakness. Take a look at the NYY with Wells, Jazz, Grisham, and McMahon all under a 1.0 bWAR.
  19. JoeBrady
    Rogers had to go, no doubt in my mind. And I don't think anyone picks him up this late in the season. He's a fine insurance policy for us.
  20. JoeBrady
    Gotta agree. It's like feeling sorry for CEOs and CFOs. When you get paid millions, you have to put up with a lot of downside risk.
  21. JoeBrady
    It's funny, but I'd have never heard of the guy. But he became a known name due to Boston>Mead>Early cycle.
  22. JoeBrady
    Based strictly on RF/9, it is 45 chances per year, but the range difference doesn't calculate extra-base hits. And you can't use 35 hits if one player has more power. A straight extrapolation of the HRs/AB would give Duran an extra 22 bases. While I am okay with Yoshida at DH, and always have been, there might be a reason he was untradeable at almost any price.
  23. JoeBrady
    You can never tell how these things work out, but Rutschman is about 200 points better than Narvaez, Anthony about 150 points better than the current Duran, and Mead about maybe 50 points better than the current arrangement. That's significant.
  24. JoeBrady
    It's tough to assess the manager without seeing the team play every day, but it feels like Cora and Thompson got fired for less under-performance.
  25. JoeBrady
    I'm thinking he goes on the block with Wong, Durbin, Monasterio, Yoshida, Bello, and everyone else that a fair amount of folks in here wanted to s***-can. And y'all might be right, but it feels like folks are ignoring 15 HRs and 12/1 SB/CS against righties this year. There are some good stats buried in those abysmal strikeout rates.
