    Two years.

    IMO, definitely faster now. No more batters stepping out to roll their eyes. No more catchers framing the pitch for two seconds. No more arguments. Not only is it quick, I find it pretty entertaining to see who is right.
  3. JoeBrady
    I seriously doubt Breslow is going anywhere. No one is going to like to hear it, but his off-season was almost impeccable. He added Gray, Contreras, Suarez, Durbin, and Bennett. It doesn't get any better than that. The only value-added move he could've made, as unlikely as it would have been, would've been to sign Schwarber.
  4. JoeBrady
    Some nice contributions by Bennett as well. A 3.71 overall, and a 14/0 K/W in his last two starts.

    I have an interesting stat, but no idea what it means. The RS have the 3rd best BP ERA with a 3.25, but the BP record is 6-17. The #2 and #4 teams are SD and NYY, with records of 20-12 and 19-10. I'm curious how our BP ERA could be that good, but our record that bad.
  6. JoeBrady
    5-12 in one-run games. 7-14 in 2-run games.

    MLB is merciless when it comes to learning curves.
  8. JoeBrady
    Good call.
  9. JoeBrady
    Our rotation is 2nd in ERA over the past 28 days. No Crochet, no Bello, no problem.

    Just for fun, HS Kim is 5-65 with no XBH this year.
  11. JoeBrady
    Swanson had a .426 OPS for a 124-AB stretch. And 4 HRs, 4 SBs, and 18 RBIs in his last 7 games. Chapman went from ice-cold, to red-hot, to a 2-28 stretch. I think this is more the rule than the exception in baseball.
  12. JoeBrady
    Durbin had a particularly rough start, but plenty of players have rough stretches. I think Raleigh had a 0-38 stretch at one point. Lots of guys alternate between MVP stats and AAA stats, and often more than once a season.

    Early in the off-season, I was in favor of trading Duran. After the Gray and Suarez acquisitions, keeping Duran's offense, even as a DH, seemed like a good idea. I wasn't down on Yoshida, but there was a pretty good chance that Abreu would outplay him, as well as supplying some rotational rest in the OF, and being insurance for an injury. The plan was good, but didn't anticipate Anthony getting hurt, and neither Yoshida nor Duran hitting anything.
  14. JoeBrady
    Duran would be the LF if Roman got injured. And that I'd bet on.
  15. JoeBrady
    They probably expected the same thing that FG expected. There is a science to baseball. Go to any prediction site, and all the predictions will be relatively close.
  16. JoeBrady
    If I might intercede for a moment-No one knows except Breslow, the AZ GM and maybe a few other people. Just like my comment on Anthony the other day, none of us know anything. And none of the press knows anything. If I did want to add one thing, it is that teams that don't trade a player, were probably never inclined to trade that player. Basically, AZ didn't like one offer from the other 28 teams, so it seems unlikely that the RS could've forced their hand.
  17. JoeBrady
    Sure, if his predicted OPS is .729. He hits 32-35 HRs consistently. OPS consistently .825+. You could be correct that he will be a .729 player going forward, but I'd wager against that. He's not even 30 yet, so his decline should be 3-4 year away.
  18. JoeBrady
    Masa had no market. Story's 2025 bWAR was 4.1. Duran had a 4.9. That said, I am curious what your plan to replace was. Bichette?
  19. JoeBrady
    Why not? He won't be here next year, unless we sign him as a FA.
  20. JoeBrady
    I agree on Gray and Chapman, but it's difficult to know the best possible 'sell by' date is. Would you accept 90% of their value today, or 110% of their value a month from now, with the inherent risk? IRT Contreras, too many articles are overlooking the need to replace anyone we trade. With current year players, trade all of them. With those here thru 2027, I'd be open to trading them. Past that, I'd have to be talked into trading them
  21. JoeBrady
    I'd be open to trading anyone, but for the right price. The guys like Duran, Mayer, Slaten might be more valuable to us than they would be on the trade market.
  22. JoeBrady
    IMO, you not only do both, you try to improve in every possible category.
  23. JoeBrady
    Slaten is an example of a zero-sum arrangement. If he is good, then why shouldn't we keep him? If he is overrated, then why would anyone trade for him? I'm open to trading anyone, but with an ERA of 12.46 in his last ten games, I don't see anyone lining up for him.
  24. JoeBrady
    4 errors by the EE tonight. Nice to see. Good game by Early. My brain tells me to sell. And i am sure that is correct. But I'd love to see the team add at least a little hitting with this rotation. But that's just my heart talking.
  25. JoeBrady
    That's basically my point. This was never going to be a great offense, but they projected to be much better.
