Sanchez has already made changes since coming from Toronto. He’ll be a good option out of the pen come playoff time. Miley has earned a shot to pitch in the post season.

But does any team have a better top three in the rotation than Verlander, Cole and Greinke?

Dodgers with Ryu, Kershaw and Buehler, Buehler, Buehler?????  (if he shows up)

That’s better? Comparable, but not better. Collectively, Verlander, Cole and Greinke at 15.1 bWAR. The Dodgers you listed? A very good 10 bWAR.

Nats have Scherzer, Strasburg and Corbin.

Mets have DeGrom, Syndergaard, Stroman/Wheeler/Matz

I didn't do the math on WAR, but the NL has three teams where guys can shut you out on many nights. It won't be an easy road in either league.

Wow, the Yankees don’t belong on the field with the Indians. It's embarrassing to the game.

The Indians split 4 games with the Yankees ........ and then were promptly swept in 3 games by the Mets.

Heymans comment is one persons opinion and not the prevailing one, either. He has once again proven that I made a wise decision when in the 90's,  I cancelled all newspapers and most all of the magazines I had been wasting my time and money on.  f

Corbin, Scherzer, and Strasburg are in the neighborhood (14.5) with Max out a few weeks.

Love Max, ultimate competitor. Corbin has proved to be a solid addition. And the playoffs are all about pitching.

I like the Astros lineup better.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Some owners spend and want to win (Mets, Padres, Phillies). Some are more interested in making money (Rays, Guardians, etc). If Rubenstein is a profits based owner (has to make money year after year like JA) vs an investment style o lever (accepts some years May come with a loss or small net gain) then we (the fans) will be screwed. We will be akin to the Rays who are content with being “good”. But they are never willing to do what it takes to be good enough. I hope Rubenstein and everyone associated with the business or the Orioles paid a lot of attention to all of the empty seats for playoff games. That is evidence of a fanbase/market place who is not fully engaged.  The onus is on the Orioles to give people a compelling reason to come out and spend money especially in this economy. And it cannot just be hey look we have a winning team. The franchise must do more including investing in the on field product (in terms of committed dollars like every other serious franchise who is trying to win a championship).

      My recollection is that MLB has rules about how much debt teams are allowed to take on and how much money owners are allowed to infuse into their franchises.   They supposedly won't approve contracts if they think a contract will cause them to exceed these thresholds.

      Yeah like Tony T but Tony has the ability to foul pitches at will.  I want Cowser to be more like @waroriole’s Rob Refsnyder and Holliday to be Steven Kwan.  Is that too much to ask of number one picks?  But I love Cowser and most of everything he brings.

      I can't say The Wall gives me all warm fuzzies but it doesn't swing at pitches a foot outside the zone or take a meatball right down the middle of the plate. It doesn't fail to move a runner over or lay down a decent sacrifice bunt. I've never seen it fail to get a hit with a runner in scoring position. At some point The Wall will probably be modified some but you build your team to play best in their home ball park. It's called home field advantage. IMO, Westy is the best right handed bat we have right now for this park. We need someone else like Westy that plays outfield. Bregman would be nice but I don't see it because of Westy and I have hopes Holliday becomes the OBP lead off hitter we need. Note - I'm still pissed but it's getting better. I think I'll live for another season.

      I’d like to see a study showing that team spending is more closely correlated to owner net worth than team revenue.  There are rare instances where a team owner will subsidize spending (e.g., Cohen) but that’s the exception not the rule - and note that Cohen owns 97% of the Mets vs a much lower % for Rubinstein.  Rubinstein has already been explicit that he is not in this to lose money.

      Cowser’s  swing decisions are determined before the pitch is even thrown. And I’ve been saying this all year, and I even said this at the game. I go it’s too early to pinch it for him because his defense is too good but he is 100% going to strike out and that’s exactly what he did with bases loaded. He decides whether he is going to swing a pitch before even thrown This is why he swings at a pitch thrown pretty close to his face . And To be fair, he  had a pretty good season doing that but obviously can be  easily exploited

      Cowser's progress was one of the more encouraging elements this season, especially on the defensive side. I was already crediting him with being Some Kind of Good major leaguer a post back. Between his and Adley's standout bad performances on the HBP and 2-0 count, I give Cowser more of a grace.     Sure he had predetermined intent to swing, but I think the follow through was some raw instinct as hand bones fractured. Adley not swinging was the lowlight how incapacitated he was.    I believe he commands the strike zone, but to feel so low you can't pull the trigger in that spot...sheesh.
