    That's the way it is for everyone and everything. If any team's hitting, pitching and defense regress, they go in the wrong direction.
  2. JoeBrady
    It's not even worth the band width to discuss. Mayer would get claimed by every team.
  3. JoeBrady
    I'm still not getting. Say we trade for Castillo. What would our rotation be?
  4. JoeBrady
    Sandoval is a starter. Bello is a bulk reliever, which is basically a starter who doesn't pitch well in the 1st inning. Since Castillo is a current conversation, I don't see how adding him to the RS, and sending down Sandoval, who is pitching better, improves the team.

    I don't want players that are always mad at their team.

    Last time I was in Vegas, it was never less than 118. When I was a kid, I use to think that 109 was hot, but 118 is legit tough.
  7. JoeBrady
    Which is fine. But Kade Anderson is really good.
  8. JoeBrady
    But which pitchers? I am trying to see the appeal, I understand trying to minimize the young pitchers IPs, but outside of just shutting them down, I don't see how that works.
  9. JoeBrady
    What does the rotation and the 26-man become if we bring in any of the SPs people are proposing? My issue with the concept is that I like all 13 of our pitchers.

    I understand the desire to date cheerleaders, but he should've told her not to show up at the press conference in her cheerleading outfit.
  11. JoeBrady
    I don't think a real issue.
  12. JoeBrady
    Both are too good to send down.
  13. JoeBrady
    They once scheduled an Oakland game the day after a Sunday night Yankee game. Game over by 12, maybe at the airport by 2:00, 5 hour flight, and a 3 hour time change, and an hour to the hotel/check-in makes it close to noon. A couple of hours sleep and they had to play.

    Lindor is an under-water contract. Without payroll relief, he shouldn't get anything back. Let alone Mayer, Duran+. I see no way Lindor happens. Arias will likely be our 2027 SS. I also see no interest in Peralta with our rotation. But I do like Weaver.
  15. JoeBrady
    I'm blessed to be from the Bronx, so we think differently. Has it ever occurred to everyone that Breslow might not have been interested in Neto at all? Drop a dime to one of your 'insider' writers to plant a story that the RS are heavily interested in Neto. Toboni probably doesn't believe it, but has to consider that possibility.
  16. JoeBrady
    It goes without saying that any player that requires a drastic over-payment, will be a bad deal.
  17. JoeBrady
    Like I said, I don't understand the concept that old guys are less risky than kids.
  18. JoeBrady
    IRT to the number of pitches, being ahead or behind on the count affects the value of stealing. My preference is when you are ahead on the count and the pitcher needs to throw a strike. But once you get to 2-2, you might as well wait until 3-2. Way too many variables. Edit-It's worth noting that he is 8-1 SB/CS when the batter is ahead of the count, 6-1 when the count is even, and 1-0 when the batter is behind in the count.
  19. JoeBrady
    We have a little hitting. Durbin started off in a slump was mostly the problem. With Durbin hitting, and with Story being replaced by guys that are league-average hitters, we've reverted to a league-average offense. Mead hopefully is enough to move up to maybe 12-13th overall.
  20. JoeBrady
    I'm done with all that now that we have Mead. Make do with the current alignment. If we feel the need to make a move, upgrade a LF RH bat and/or add someone like Weaver from the Mets. Don't over-think and don't overpay.
  21. JoeBrady
    I'm not sure Cheng can hit well enough to stick, and Monasterio and Seigler have been doing well. I'd wait on Story until I was sure he could hit, or until Monasterio and/or Seigler have played their way out.
  22. JoeBrady
    I see no way SD comes up with enough coin to make it a viable trade. I'd be asking for $150M in salary relief.
  23. JoeBrady
    I've heard the of the #9 hitter leading off issue from 50 years back. I never bought it, but it is not new. I'd say the biggest part is that you don't steal simply because you want to. You have to have the right lead, which probably doesn't occur that often. It's hard enough for stealing to be profitable. If you force a runner to go, you likely fall below the 75% threshold that is needed.
  24. JoeBrady
    Any of you guys ever hear of a guy named Belichek? I don't remember him being so warm and friendly.
  25. JoeBrady
    But the guy with the RBI didn't actually score. It was the guy that got on base that scored.
