  1. Can't believe Bergesen is only 32.
  2. Some more details on the contract. It looks like the $2M base is not guaranteed. He has to make the Opening Day roster. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/12/brewers-yovani-gallardo-agree-to-deal.html
  3. Greg Zaun. https://www.google.com/amp/s/deadspin.com/former-mlb-player-gregg-zaun-fired-from-broadcasting-jo-1820900328/amp
  4. Logan Verrett signs with a KBO squad.
  5. No expansion. No re-alignment. Change the playoffs. The teams with the best records in each league go straight to the LCS. Add two more wild cards for each league. Hold a six team, double elimination tournament with the two remaining division leaders getting byes. Winner plays the team with best record in a best of seven. Currently you see 7-11 games before the LCS. In this format you will have 8-9 games, if my back of the napkin sketch is correct.
  6. Part of the purpose is to minimize travel, so geographically aligned divisions will happen.
  7. Under this scenario, we would only play Bos, NYY, and Tor three times each during the season, if I understand it correctly. Not a big fan of that.
  8. Victor Robles has been called up by Washington.
  9. Stat question: Why is K:9 often referenced when K:PA is so much more informative?
  10. I agree with this guy. Not that good of a hitter, and certainly not clutch.
  11. I was thinking about Parra. He has 1 more season at $10M, then a 1.5M buy out. Gonzalez is gone. Dahl and Desmond have had injury concerns. They may have a need for a 1B. Maybe.
  12. Dennis Sarfate set the Japanese record with 47 saves.
  13. Arrieta leaves game with a leg injury. Not sure if it's just cramps.
  14. Hader lost his second game of September. After a monster start, he's been touched up in his most recent quarter of innings.
  15. He didn't start last season. The season prior to that he only made five starts.
  16. Could it be, gasp, that with Schoop hitting behind him...wait for it...LINEUP PROTECTION?
  17. Big Ben was saying this guy's got starter stuff and can carry it. Would probably pitch 93-95 as a starter.
  18. Once his kids grow up, hopefully he can do this full time. Mowed the lawn last night and listened to them. It was great.
  19. Who should have lost ABs to give him more playing time.
  20. http://mlb.com/r/article?ymd=20170719&content_id=243195044&vkey=news_bal&c_id=bal Buck talks about Castro's potential to start.
  21. They are looking at Samardija. Maybe that news is putting pressure on another team with a starter for sale. Fullmer? Stroman?
