    Okay, that makes much more sense. I didn't see a replay, but that looked like a bad call. That wasn't close to enough to get tossed.
  2. JoeBrady
    But you have to remember, for some fans, it is only the last game that counts.
  3. JoeBrady
    i forgot to attach the sound. Was he ejected for taunting? He spent about 20 seconds on the bat toss and jumping up and down. I'm surprised he didn't get drilled. And this isn't the first time with the bat toss.

    And half our fans don't understand why we haven't DFAd Durbin yet.

    I've been saying this since April. The issue isn't the off-season acquisitions. It is the guys that were already on the team. Substitute their 2025 numbers for their 2026 numbers for Story, Anthony, Narvaez, and Duran, and we have a better-than-average OPS.

    I probably think too much like a rotisserie player, but it wouldn't be an issue for me. The contract is a sunk cost for SF, so it is a question of how much of the sunk cost they want to take (or admit). And I've never held any ill feelings towards Devers. It was a tough situation all around. Maybe both sides could've found a better solution.
  7. JoeBrady
    Buying, selling, maybe stealing. But I'm pretty flexible at this point, and IMHO, I think all fans should be. Players values are unlikely to change over the next three days. We could go 3-0 or 0-3 and have a lot more visibility.

    Just in my personal opinion, it makes a difference. I understand the logic of selling. That guys can revert or get hurt. But part of being a fanatic is being a fanatic. I'd rather look forward to another month of hope than modest improvements for the future. IRT whom I'd get, I'd be less aggressive now, but would ramp it up if we continue to play well (and vice versa). Right now, I'd be looking at SF. Devers is hitting well, but the contract and past relationship might be problematic. I like Arraez well enough, but the fit is only 'okay', but we do need a lead-off hitter. And I'd continue to look at Adames. That's the best fit RH power hitter that plays SS. I would ask for SF to pick up some salary, but it doesn't have to be prohibitive.

    Duran might be the most difficult player in baseball to predict, but that just doesn't sound right to me. I'm sticking with him. From 5/1-6/2, he was the #15 position player in BB. Could someone lose it in only 26 days?
  10. JoeBrady
    Are you sure that the 40 IPs locks in the contract, and that it doesn't become a player option? Because it doesn't sound logical to me to, if Chapman's hits the innings, that he loses the mutual side of the contract.
  11. JoeBrady
    Interesting, but before tonight, the RS scoring by month was: Mar-Apr 3.97 May 4.00 June 4.00 We don't do much hitting, but we are the model of consistency.
  12. JoeBrady
    It's really, really sad. Like an irreparably broken Eye-ore. We just swept the EE and knocked them out of 1st. If you're not happy at this point, I don't even know how to process that.
  13. JoeBrady
    Who will regret it?
  14. JoeBrady
    That only happens in RS forums. DeLauter has a .534 in his last 116 ABs. Yesavage has a 5.35 in his last 6 starts. Bubba Chandler leads the league in walks allowed. Andrew Painter just got demoted. Maybe Seigler (.927), Eaton (.939), and Durbin might fetch us all four.
  15. JoeBrady
    You could be right. But if one thinks in converted numbers to $$$, how much would we get in a trade, and how much will he be worth in he reverts to form? And what are the odds that he returns to form? And perhaps just as importantly, who replaces him in LF?
  16. JoeBrady
    Huh?
  17. JoeBrady
    I notice you like your nicknames. What does DUBin mean?
  18. JoeBrady
    No guarantees, but Ref is 35 and Romy is 29.

    At the risk of inviting bad karma into the RSN, I was out with my wife yesterday. I glanced up at the TV, saw it was 2-0, and was thinking to myself how good that was. These games are always in doubt, but my confidence level was huge. A month ago, I'd have turned it off since I wouldn't want to see how we gave it away. And was with Bennett on the mound.
  20. JoeBrady
    Was that the fan that suggested that Duran kill himslef?
  21. JoeBrady
    I'd keep and wouldn't think twice. I mean, there is always the possibility of any overpayment for any player, but I don't see it in this case. At a minimum, I'd wait until the off-season to get a better idea of where Anthony is at.
  22. JoeBrady
    Some people are built that way, and I doubt they will ever change. I mean that in real life as well.
  23. JoeBrady
    I think Duran will come back. His history of success is too long. Of course, I think he is inside his own head too much, but sometimes all it takes is one hard-hit ball to make you forget a month of doing nothing. IRT Volpe, I loved the guy coming up, but Cashman promoted him too quickly. He had a 30/8 K/W in 89 ABs. At the age of 21, he should spent at least half-season in AAA, or until he got his K/W under 2:1. But I'm convinced that Cashman thought that Volpe was the next Jeter, and maybe wanted to show the world how smart he was.
  24. JoeBrady
    That reminds me of the 2003 ALCS. It wasn't even not removing Pedro that irked me so much, as the fact that Embree, Timlin, Williamson and Arroyo had been lights-out in the playoffs.
  25. JoeBrady
    And, of course, he has to want to do it. A week ago, I wanted at least one bat. 3 days ago, I was okay with getting rid of anyone and everyone. Breslow & Henry are probably going thru the same indecisions. Even today, if we win, I want a bat. If we lose, I'm probably back in trade mode.
