  1. Sounds better if you say first third of the season.
  2. Sure, the biggest difference was pitch mix. The fastball is still a poor pitch by ML standards and he has to throw it at some point.
  3. Was Wil Myers in right. Makes more sense now.
  4. Two less walks one more dong.
  5. You can see him in the video.
  6. Bundy had a poor start today: 4IP, 4ER, 4H, 4BB, 2HR, 3Ks
  7. He might. He also might make all of Dan's skirting around the rules worth it. Except Zoellner, nothing excuses Zoellner.
  8. I nice big piece. Not a fat joke, you know, social distancing.
  9. Now he gets to keep walking.
  10. Oh geez, we get to watch Dwight Smith Jr "play" left field.
  11. I'm not talking about getting prospects back. I'm saying I don't think they can get someone that will just take over the contract.
  12. Interesting considering that he initially opted out.
  13. We can infer by the moves being made by other teams that they think the cutoff date has been reached.
  14. I wasn't suggesting it was a likelihood just that an absolute benching might cause him to reconsider. Honestly we don't even know if ownership would be on board with a buyout. I guess we are different folks, I'd take the money and go try something else rather then drag everyone else down.
  15. If you were to say to me, Can, I'll pay you 38M to retire at 34. Or you can get 46M and spend two years dealing with the physical and emotional pressures of sitting at the end of the bench. If it were me, I'd take the 38M and be done with it. Especially if I'd already earned more than 140M. Players have accepted buyouts before, heck some have walked away leaving money on the table.
  16. Manny with the play in the RF corner.
  17. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=severi000ped 2828
  18. I hope Hyde actually sits him for the rest of the season. Maybe it will cause Davis to reconsider a buyout. I'm worried Hyde won't have the gumption to not play him at all.
  19. Obviously he isn't ready. #May2021
  20. Adley Rutschman came in at #41 on the Fangraphs 2020 trade value list. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2020-trade-value-41-to-50/
  21. I think having him apologize counts as throwing him under the bus. I think he was worried his old buddies with the Rangers would be upset with him. I also have no idea why he was so blase about Machado being thrown at. I have to wonder if it had been someone other than Machado if the Umps would have ejected the pitcher.
