  1. So your take here is that we were going to cut or bench a 4.1 bWAR Story in favor of a 3.2 bWAR Bichette (or equivalent)? And his $42M+ contract? C'mon, everyone knows that Story was the presumptive starter.
  2. That's basically saying that you're going up against a better team.
  3. I read a lot of medical stuff on-line, but I need to at least be at the ballpark before I make an expert medical diagnosis.
  4. Every GM has default starters from the previous year. The idea that any GM would bench Story and bring in someone like Bichette, or any other SS, is a non-starter.
  5. I have my candy money in my hand and demand you open the door.
  6. Anticipating that he might get injured is legit, but that's what IKF is there for. Anticipating that he'd have a .547 is not legit.
  7. He had a .547 before getting injured, about 200 points worse than last year. My abacus considers that unexpected.
  8. If you have a player that will be out temporarily, you generally go with your best bench player.
  9. And that's always the problem. I'd say roughly 20% of the teams know if they are contenders or out of it. If I were the RS, I'd start adding on the cheap. Maybe another RP who could be flipped at the deadline, if necessary. Or maybe a RH slugging DH with no other skills.
  10. Is the shoe supposed to come off? I thought compression was part of the treatment?
  11. Probably because we are starting to hit. Over the past 28 days, 14th in OPS. Over the past 14, #16. Over the past 7, #8. The past 7 & 14 are BABIP influenced, but the last 28 looks legit.
  12. Future HOF players that Breslow traded away for nothing?
  13. Unless I missed something, the RS still had a challenge left on Yoshida's 2nd pitch. Not using it there is a waste. That would've made it 2-0. That's a huge difference. Past that, good game.
  14. I went to the Saturday game at Yankee Stadium, so I'll take the hit for that one.
  15. The FO/manager has to talk to these guys. It's like baserunning, where every decision requires a minimum level of success. First inning, you need to be about 99% certain.
  16. If they were to re-rank the prospects, but included Tolle's 2026 results, he'd probably be top-10, maybe top-5. Trading him to enhance our chances of making the playoffs in 2026 is just one more fantasy.
  17. I'm not sure I've ever seen a team sign a FA to replace a good regular, just so they could then trade that regular
  18. Story, Narvaez, Duran, and Mayer were automatically starting. They could lose their jobs, but they were the incumbents.
