    A lot of times, I give genius points when I think to myself 'what made anyone think this was a good idea?'. And 50 years later, we will be looking forward to hearing it. That's genius!

    That's always one of those underlying factors that get overlooked. Not to get too Machiavellian, but some of these RPs are there to be abused. Watson has 13 appearances of 2 or more IPs, with respectable results. And if he gets worn out, it's not a large cost relative to some of our young SPs.
  3. JoeBrady
    Shades of Mortimer & Randolph Duke (2 of the greatest casting decisions ever) screaming "I want trading reopened right now. Get those brokers back in here! Turn those machines back on!"

    That's why I usually sign in after the game is over. I'd prefer to talk BB during the game, and not listen to people losing their $chitt when the lead-off hitter gets to a 1-2 count. I don't mind the complaints about a pitch challenge on the first pitch of the game, but the pitch-by-pitch criticisms are a bit too much.

    It's always the same. Last week, we had no chance. Now he wants Mulligan so that he can later say that he was right that we should've tanked, or that he was right that we should've gone all-in.
  6. JoeBrady
    I tend to think these things are all overrated, and some guys come along slower and faster than others, but at least a tiny bit of concern is warranted.
  7. JoeBrady
    Once again, thanks for the nice job on the scouting reports. Just in case you run out of things today, is it possible to get a quick synopsis of the overslot/under-slot amounts? It's become about as important as the draft picks themselves.
  8. JoeBrady
    Probably impossible to explain without inside information. They could genuinely like some of the low-cost guys, and the savings is just a bonus. If Schaffer provides enough savings to sign the other overslot, it might be well worth it. FWIW, I was not impressed with the draft, but there is a huge amount of variance past the top-10.

    For the BP, I'm keeping Chapman, Whitlock, Slaten, Guerrero, Moran, Watson and Bello. Gray, Suarez, Tolle, Early and Bennett as starters. Then what becomes of Sandoval? If Watson was the odd man out, and I am not convinced he is, there has to be a trade market for him. He has a 3.31/3.86 ERA/FIP with a 32/11 K/W in his past 35.1 IPs. He might be better than anyone in the Nats' BP.

    We were 2-3 before today. There is a 50% you can be 2-3 or worse, or 3-2 or better. IRT to road extras, we were 6-4 in 2024. Add 1-8 to that and we are 7-12. I don't think there is anything else there besides normal variance. The Yankees are 1-4 in extras on the road this year.
  11. JoeBrady
    I agree that we need to divest the Rule 5 guys for whatever we can get.
  12. JoeBrady
    I doubt you're getting anyone for them.
  13. JoeBrady
    No way you demote Rivera after the game he had on Saturday.
  14. JoeBrady
    How many days ago was he quoting stats about how we had no chance?
  15. JoeBrady
    3-3 in extras.
  16. JoeBrady
    We're not likely to win the next 68 in a row. We will occasionally be shut down.
  17. JoeBrady
    But he allowed a HR to a probable HOF player. Doesn't that mean his career is over?
  18. JoeBrady
    Probably on an innings limit. It's unfortunate, but it makes sense to me.
  19. JoeBrady
    I like him, but he's a Cincy regular with 2+ years left. If Cincy decides to call it a day (8 back of WC-3), he could be attainable, but it'll cost us a good bit more than lottery tickets. Certainly more diverse than Adell.
  20. JoeBrady
    He's a good player, and I'd be glad to have him, but I think fans are under-estimating the aging curves. He'd be with us through age 37. The number of 2026 players with an fWAR of 1.5 season-to-date: 33 -4 34- 3 35- 2 36- 1 37- 0 There is a pretty good chance we will have a kind of average 2B starting as soon as next year. At a pretty fancy price.
  21. JoeBrady
    Mostly the same as always. I wouldn't object to adding another RP, but the BP is doing pretty well. I'd have my eye on a RH slugger to platoon with Yoshida, but I can wait. I'm still looking for Adell.
  22. JoeBrady
    Run differential wins, We were +15 in the last 6 games of June and +25 July MTD.
  23. JoeBrady
    Coloumbe had a 0/7 K/W in his last 7 starts. Watson has a 3.31/3.86 ERA/FIP over his last 35.1 IPs, with multiple inning capability.
  24. JoeBrady
    Guerrero & Watson?
  25. JoeBrady
    Combined, not both.
