How many of those teams got in the playoffs? Let's see, the Yankees, Nationals, Dodgers. Rangers, and Blue Jays all in the top ten in payroll and all made the playoffs. I'd say that's a pretty good rate at 50 percent. Once you get in there, it's a crapshoot.

Five out of the bottom 20 teams made it (25 percent). Either way you look it, it's safe to say that spending increases your chances of seeing the playoffs.

What playoffs did the Nats make? The hype payroll playoffs?

No. I'd say having better players does that.

They won the NL East in March.

It's not their fault that the Mets rained on the media's parade.

      Phillies series is going to be fun

      By Frobby · Posted

      I don’t like losing and I certainly won’t like losing Bradish for any length of time (I refuse to say it’s for the whole season until they say so).  But that game was a ton of fun.  The performance by Akin, Santander’s game-tying homer, Santander’s throw to the plate, and Mullins’ slide — that was highly entertaining baseball.

      I tuned in after the Bradish injury but I had a blast watching it. Great crowd, Santander blast, extras, two challenged plays at the plate, momentum going back and forth. Other than the outcome it was a fantastic game.

      Yesterday turned out to be not fun at all. A loss, a lost player likely for the season.

      5+ - 16 times 4 - 6 <4 - 15 times  Pretty typical.  4 is the median point for most teams every year.

      Heyman on deadline targets

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Basallo is 6’4” and 180lbs at 19. He has almost zero chance of sticking at catcher long term. By 23 I suspect he will be somewhere in the 250-270 range. He has 1B/DH written all over him long term, possibly COF.

      What does the Bradish injury really mean?

      By wildcard · Posted

      Sure seems like Bradish will go on the 15 day IL today.   Vespi or Krook being called up. Kremer has a rehab start tomorrow.   If he does well he could be in the rotation on Friday.   Kremer had a 3.25 ERA in the 2nd half last season.   He can be a big help if he is healthy. There was a question in this thread about what can we learn about the pitching that we don't know between now and the deadline.    I think the answer is a lot. Over 2022 and 2023 Suarez pitched 29 and 30 start and 173 and 162 IP.    Right now he has a 1.61 ERA overall and I .82 ERA as a starter in 7 starts.    If he can do that until the deadline Elias is going to have a hard time finding a better 3rd starter for the playoff than Suarez. We will probably see Povich get regular starts for the next 6 weeks.   The rookie could be big in the pennant race.  25 year old Boddicker stepped up in 1983 for the O's.   He had never done that before but going 16-8 that year helped the O's to the World Series.   We will see what Povich can show Elias before the deadline. Next man up.
