It was just a procedural move to allow him to spend a couple extra days with his newborn: https://dodgersnation.com/dodgers-news-evan-phillips-expected-to-rejoin-team-in-pittsburgh-today/2023/04/25/

In 2017, in 358 fewer plate appearances and 43 total games playing LF/DH/1B, rookie Nicky Delmonico put up 1.1 WAR more than C. Davis for about 22.5 million less dollars. And that was C.'s last barely tolerable season (OPS+ 96).

Yea, but since then he's been worth -1.1 wins in less than 400 PAs.  A .650 OPS with a -7 glove in LF is how you get flat-out released at 26.  But I'm guessing someone will pick him up and put him in AAA.  Or he could play in an indy league or Japan for the next decade.

Could join Tyler Wilson in the Korean League.

From a Braves reporter:

Kevin Gausman's last three starts combined: 8.2 IP, 25 H, 17 ER. At this point, I'd be shocked to see him make his next scheduled start this weekend against Philly. 

The guy is so mystifying, man. He drove me absolutely nuts.

One thing that hasn't been said much is that it doesn't appear issues were at the major league level.  None of our ex-players are really playing any better for other teams.  And of the holdovers, there really aren't any that are having a better year.  In other words, our problems weren't on Buck and his staff.

At the end of the day, the athletes have to perform. I could look at analytics chart all day and still would never catch up to a major league fastball. Talent plays.

Machado is down to a .730 OPS.   Only 9 more years at $32 million a year for the Padres.  LOL at the Padres.

It’s $30 mm/yr, not $32 mm.    So, all is well.   

I’d never judge a 10 year deal based on a 5-6 week slump, though.

      They also haven’t announced the times, yet.

      Well, I don't like to predict things on message boards but my prediction is we will not acquire two pitchers with a better Zips projection than Kremer. I would be more surprised by two than I would be by zero.

      You can’t ignore how he pitched against Detroit and the makeup of their roster. He has more value than even Suarez if that is who we end up playing.

      Wild card series roll call

      By SteveA · Posted

      So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.
