Might want to add that this is a 12:35pm afternoon game. Hopefully people will remember to turn out and tune in for the early start.

Thanks.

I'll start a thread on the main board.

Have a greenie.

    • I can agree with you that Holliday moving to center would be a great development for the roster makeup.  I do believe though that he is a Scott Boras client. With so many young players on the 40 man being represented by Boras, I wonder if they would force a move to the outfield for Holliday if he didn't want to make the switch. Sadly, these types of politics probably play a part of decision making by front offices. 
    • I don't really remember Stanhouse because I was eight in 1979. He did pitch in the first MLB I ever saw in person in September of that year.  But he was a recurring topic of discussion on the radio and TV of my youth, with the Full Pack story repeated many times by Chuck and Brooks and Jon Miller and others. Stanhouse certainly had a weird profile for a late-inning reliever, walking more than he struck out and with mediocre K rates. But somehow had ERAs under 3.00 in '78-79 despite much worse FIPs. He only allowed four homers in 146 innings those two years, so I have to think he relied on a sinker and the pitcher-friendliness of Memorial Stadium.
    • This Jack Flaherty?  The one with a lower FIP than any pitcher in our starting rotation? https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/flaheja01.shtml
    • Hancock has an injury history, mediocre stats, a blue page at baseball Savant, and wasn’t considered superior to Mike Baumann. Given their need for relief pitching, it is telling that they don’t have him on the big club. Woo is injured(though it’s a leg injury)but he’s only thrown 8starts/40 innings, about half what you’d expect from a starter so far. His trade value is diminished, so he’s probably more valuable to keep. When he comes back, the Mariners will need him in the pen, where another injury will have less impact. I’d love to get him, but the Ms keep him. Bryce Miller isn’t going anywhere. He's not a FA til 2030, plus, He’s starting tonight. Seattle isn’t going to deal from their rotation, especially someone as young as Miller. They may trade him, but only for an overpay, which ME won’t do.
    • With Bradish’s injury, and the assumption Burnes will leave,  I keep seeing posters saying our rotation next year being Rodriguez, Kremer, Povich, Irvin, Suarez. Maybe McDermott comes up this year and can be a force in the rotation but it goes without saying Elias would not proceed with a rotation that thin. Theres been a lot of chatter about acquiring a pitcher at the deadline with control next year and maybe beyond. To me that is far from a certainty considering Elias’ history of being conservative in trades, and priding himself in the minor league depth. My preference would be to acquire someone like Scherzer if he’s available for the stretch run, and reassess the starting rotation in the offseason, either by trade or by free agency  With that said looking at Spotrac these are the starters I’d be most intrigued by, with those in bold top of the list: Corbin Burnes Walker Buehler Max Fried Max Scherzer Robbie Ray Luis Severino Jack Flaherty  Shane Bieber Nathan Eovaldi Frankie Montas  Yusel Kikuchi          
    • I do agree on Cal Quantrill being a good pickup for the Orioles, but that would require the Rockies to be forward thinking and realizing they need to trade some of their veterans for prospects.
    • I guess so. But strikeouts are like home runs - exceptionally dependent on era. Dazzy Vance twice led the NL in strikeouts as a starter with totals under 150. And strikeouts by a reliver isn't exactly a milestone benchmark - I had to look it up to know what the records are. Did you know the single-season record is by Dick Radatz, with 183? I didn't until 30 seconds ago. Hoyt Wilhelm holds the current record, and Kimbrel trails by 135. You are correct, I missed his 77 inning season with the Braves. Kimbrel is currently 103rd in career relief innings pitched. Between Tom Henke and Hector Carrasco.  As with most HOF arguments, I think my biggest beef is that they let a bunch of marginal guys in when trying to figure stuff out, and now the argument is "Well, if Bruce Sutter is in with just 12 years and 300 saves, then Kimbrel and Chapman and Franco and Hoffman and Smith and Lyle and Garber and Fingers and Francisco Rodriguez and Wagner and Mesa and Myers and on and on...." When if you really want to draw a clear dividing line it's Rivera and then everyone else.
