Well, the handbook projections are assuming he plays with the Orioles. If he goes to the Mariners, it certainly helps, but I'm not sure by how much. What do run support and the bullpen have to do with era? I'm not talking about wins, I'm talking about era. Hill had worse run support anyways.

"Hill pitched in the NL central not the AL East ...Anyone who cant see the drastic difference either doesn't want to or is just plain ignorant!"

Ignorant? The fact that one plays in the NLC and the other in the ALE is the reason I thought Hill had a better chance to put up a better era. I never said Hill was better than Bedard. Never. I said that I thought he had a good chance to put up better numbers next season. I don't see why there's a need to call me names, I was just giving my opinion. My opinion is not that Bedard isn't good (he obviously is), just that I don't think he will ever perform like he did this season again, and that it's a good idea to trade him now.

IMO its easier for a guy to pitch with a 3 run lead then a tie game.... You know the old phrase " Trying to be to perfect" .

Sorry ... The ignorant thing was just a general statement from Reading the Cubbie boards from other sights. They have talked at great lengths about how they wouldn't trade Hill for Bedard. Again Sorry ;) No hard feelings Eh!

just that I don't think he will ever perform like he did this season again

I not sure either but so far their is no signs in his performance that say he will immediately decline!

I'm not sure about run support, but the bullpen can certainly have an effect on a starter's ERA.

That's true, but not really enough of an impact to severely impact a guy's era. Does anyone know where to find a stat of the average amount of inherited runs scored over a full season that end up being charged to a starter? That probably didn't sound right, but you know what I'm saying. Probably be a difficult stat to find though.

For the people who are upset that I haven't PM'ed them back, just take into thought that I have recieved over 50 PM's today;)

And I just read the thread that accused me of lying, and that is all not true.

People can believe what they want, but can I refresh you on something?

The day before Tony broke the story about Roberts being traded to the Cubs, I said something very interseting the night before. I responded to a posters question, saying to go to sleep and expect something tomorrow.

The next day, the story is on the front page. BB didn't say anything about it, nor did Peace or Belkast.

The only thing that happened was it was put on the front page. There was no trade.

Out of curiosity, how long have you had your source, and how did you meet him/her? You don't have to say who, just how.

Im on your side Joey, and i hope some people's harsh words don't stop you from posting here, for those who want to read this far into "insider" info, skip the post or don't read the thread...i enjoy hearing all the possible deals and will continue to read and appreciate what you post here..

I think his point is that he mentioned it before.... Tony reported it as done by 2 of his sources as I recall. And if thats the case maybe he got lucky or maybe he has access to someone (maybe a insider or maybe a poster in yet another forum that gets info)

I'd like to believe him .... Its hard though after reading the IPACY post :(

Either way the trade didn't work out, unfortunatley. And yes it is hard to decide whether he is telling the truth or not, so I'm not going to say my opinion.

Then why, according to your prosportsdaily posts, did you only start getting inside info earlier this month?

Really, I'm not going to keep arguing, as there is no point, but usually when you have a source, you might not be allowed to share certain stuff. Sometimes when the things are getting really hot, you have to keep your mouth shut, as you can't leak anything, and before New Years, a trade was really, really close.

What is the problem? If you don't like what he has to say or if you don't believe him, just put him on ignor. There are many here that want to hear what he has to say.

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.

      Which core players beside Adley Rutschman struggled?

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      By Pat Kelly · Posted

      The entire commentary on Hyde and the team seems odd but have to admit there does seem to be something off.   Team seemed adrift for most of the 2nd half.  A very talented team went off the rails midway through the season mostly due to core players struggling and rookies not performing or filling in adequately for a few injured starters.    None of the position player trade line acquisitions performed that well.     Hyde seemed in over his head or at a loss on how to correct things, but he must have convinced Elias that he has a plan to fix things.  Curious to see what happens with the coaching staff.
