Hey, what matchup could possibly be more compelling for this week's Sunday Night Baseball than Red Sox-Mets?!

Not gonna lie, MLB and ESPN probably both know that more people will watch a bad Sox and a bad Mets team play than would watch a great TB team.

The O’s head to St. Pete for four games with the Rays, having won 3 of 5 previous meetings, including a 1-1 split with the Rays at the Trop in June.  The two teams are in a virtual tie for best record

Without any MLB marketing: you'll have a World-Wide-Audience tonight!

(@ least one viewer in Europe🤣)

Won't get much sleep this weekend (next 2 games are 1am where i live 🥱).

Hope Hyde goes with the hot hand (Jordan!) and holds Frazier @ bench (no Frazier rant ...). Gibson in game 1 gives me 😱 but my guts tell me he'll have a good game like he did 5/9 vs TB.

Go O's. 🥳

More then one.Unless this is you.

Bradish (6-4, 3.05) vs. Elfin (10-5, 3.59)

Rodriguez (2-2, 7.33) vs. McClanahan (11-1, 2.56)

Wells (7-5, 3.54) vs. Bradley (5-6, 5.29)

AL 50 IP Active Roster standings, K-BB ranking has these matchups for the last three games:

(27) Bradish v. (6) Eflin

(32) Grayson v. (28) McClanahan

(19) Wells v. (4) Bradley

Bradish-Eflin a fun one as both guys shaping up as dudes who will take ~20% of these Clubs starts over the next few years races.    The Stuff+ readouts for Bradish are way ahead of the K-BB outcomes, while Eflin is the other way around.

It is team game 97, so I believe Bradish needs 6 innings tonight to hit 97.1 and momentarily qualify for the ERA title.

Bradley is another rookie whose peripherals are maybe goosed by the talent to blow away most Bats, and like Grayson not much talent refinement for the challenge of MLB Bats has occurred yet.

For me, this just suggests that it’s a mistake to get too overly focused on strikeouts and walks.

The Rays are now 31-33 since their great 29-7 start .

They are still super tough to beat. Any of the defensive plays don't get made last night and we probably lose that game. If I'm a Rays fan or coach I am livid at Randy for that one play. And he looked terrible at the plate. That said, he will probably kill us at some point in this series because he always does. But when a rookie makes you look stupid like that in a big game... whew.

I know you prefer ERA, and over larger numbers of innings ERA and K-BB tend to converge.    I believe ERA in even a couple months sample has a bigger chance giving you a bad read how a pitcher is doing.

To be clear, I don’t think any stat is perfect.  But if K - BB is interpreted as saying that Rodriguez and McClanahan have been basically equivalent pitchers this year, or are likely to be equivalent for the rest of this year, I just think that’s nonsense.  Of course, I’d love for Grayson to prove me wrong about that.

Headed for game 4 and the O’s are sort of playing with house money, having guaranteed they can do no worse than a 2-2  split and a virtual tie for the division lead, ahead by percentage points.  

Taj Bradley has been inconsistent, but threw 5.1 shutout innings last time out and pretty much throttled us when we saw him before, facing only 3 batters over the minimum in 6 innings.  Let’s hope Wells is on his game.

This is the type of game that good teams, and I mean by that potential championship teams, win. The killer instinct should be well honed. The team should want to beat them soundly. Wells should be motivated to make a lasting impression on a team that he is likely to pitch against again in the playoffs. Good teams win this game and set a tone for the rest of the season. I think this game is a big one from a psychological standpoint. I hope the players feel the same.

      Why not market Mateo as a SS to a Contender like the LAD/CLEV for an arm for this season?

      By Il BuonO · Posted

      Lol, those who know me will attest to the fact that I'm the guy who walks outta the house without something I need. Same as not remembering the OP and the premise. 🤣 And we're in agreement there. Mateo is a good piece is and I often think the same with regards to Mullins or Hays. These are not guys around whom to build your team but can be useful in trade packaged with a prospect who is either blocked positionally (Norby) or who they just don't see as productive ML players (Stowers).  And yes, y'all those are suppositions, so save the angry responses, they're just examples. Mullins and Hays are nice role guys and getting older. They can help a contender, but they're never going to headline a deal in the same way Mateo won't.  Agree about Mateo getting on base to have a chance to wreak havoc, but I think especially with Mateo a contender will value his defense, including his versatility and positional value. Maybe a package for a TOR that includes one or more of these pieces packaged with Povich and Norby/Stowers, Basallo? gets the team that guy who DOES move the needle and steps in for the loss of Bradish. For now....another move to solidify the pen probably needs to be addressed.

      Gunnar vs. Coby Mayo at the same place in time

      By Malike · Posted

      If Gunnar were in AAA at 22 he would have 30 HRs in 48 games with an OPS of 2.000

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By interloper · Posted

      Literally don't care about the walks. Cowser walked a lot - how did his .400+ AAA OBP translate to the majors?  All I want to see is XBH from Holliday. We know he can work a walk on crappy AAA pitching. Once he hits for more consistent power, we'll know he's ready.

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      By Malike · Posted

      If Elias put his glasses on to see the future, I doubt he'd trade for Burnes knowing 3/5ths of the rotation would need TJS.

      Coby Mayo in AAA this year: 48 games .301/.370/.617/1.048 13 2B, 2 3B, 15 HR 20 BB, 56 K 41 RBI Gunnar Henderson in his AAA career: 65 games .288/.390/.504/.894 13 2B, 4 3B, 11 HR 38 BB, 78 K 38 RBI It's well past time to call Coby up

      I'm not sure if you just don't like him and are being intentional but it's Irvin, not Irwin. Ben McDonald calls him Irving. It's just Irvin.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      This is along the lines of what I was thinking. DeLeon, Bradfield and McDermott are painful to part with but I think you need about 3 prospects that will hurt like that on top of Kjerstad and Norby. And I think the White Sox will want 2 good pitching prospects in that type of deal.  I’d obviously prefer to give up some lesser pitching prospects, but the only pitching prospects I’m not all that fond of and think we could deal as a “sell high” are Johnson and Baumeister. And their value is not high enough to move the needle that much. I’d do that deal you proposed and I think the White Sox do too, or at least they won’t get a better offer than that.  Have Suarez piggyback Crochet, and keep Crochet around 3-4 IP, 50-60 pitches per start until September when you stretch him back out. And maybe you can plug in Povich or Irvin for some spot starts when there aren’t off days to give Crochet 5 days rest when you can, or skip some starts when you can if he needs it.
