I don’t agree that we have so many holes that we can’t fill them or that we should just punt on this first place season. However, I don’t believe that we have one of the best staffs in baseball either. We HAD one of the best staffs before the Bradish and Means injuries. Now our staff is very shaky. Look at the ERA for the first two months and then compare it to the jump in June. And the skyrocket so far this month. Currently (for at least the last four/five turns through the rotation) at least one pitcher is getting bombed with a non-competitive start. And sometimes twice through the rotation. We are fortunate that the Yanks have cratered. But this is not sustainable through another half of baseball. There will be no abled arm relievers left by the end of the season having to cover so many innings. This is why since the Houston series we have been a .500ish team. It’s hard to sustain winning streaks with pitching that has been this bad of late. -

Remember when Gunnar started playing 2b right before he got called up? -

Nice. Something to consider about EBJ’s OPS… the goal is for him to get himself to 2nd base right? Why does it matter if he does that at the plate, if he’s stealing so many bases and achieving the same result? He has 49 singles, and 26 walks. He’s 44/53 in stolen base attempts. He’s probably trying for 2nd base everytime there isn’t a runner occupying 2nd base. It also depends on if the batter co-operates and takes a pitch(es) so he can attempt to steal. So OPS doesn’t calculate really what his value is. They don’t have WAR in the minors that does calculate defense and baserunning. Heck, for all we know he’s right on par of what he should be if “WAR” was available at this level. So he’s “struggling” to hit a .800 OPS that is an artificial milestone that we’ve created. Not Sig and our models. -

Probably the two prospects listed in this title. McDermott and EBJ. Skubal would probably take Holliday + McDermott -
The real question is will they have the guts to trade Mounty in the offseason to open up first. In order to do so, you need to make sure Mayo can play first, so this makes sense. -

Exactly. If we need 4 pitchers then some contenders need 10. It’s July and the baseball is jumping. I think we’re a little spoiled. They’re are number 4 and 5 starters for a reason. Aka regular season pitchers. Our staff is limping into the break a little. Coming out of the break we’ll only have 2-3 turns through the rotation until we acquire a SP. Luckily for us, the Yankees are struggling too. -

Cowser had elite batting analytics “red” when he makes contact. The contact is the “blue” part of his baseball savant page. Gotta make contact. Contact to damage ratio. Channeling Buck Showalter post game pressers.
