McCanns speed is just another reason Mateo is expendable

And of course Cowser walks to break up a good rally.

AJ is the man. Glad he is back in the fold. The team should do everything they can to keep him involved.

I’m pretty sure you need a pitcher to replace the guy you pull. I don’t think anyone was warming after the fifth with Kremer cruising. He walked the first guy. Maybe you get someone up. By the time someone is ready, you’re pretty much in the soup. Also, two of those pitches to Alvarez were pretty damn close to the bottom of the zone. They weren’t wild. The other two were.

Well in fairness, Lindor dug that out of the dirt... but that doesn't hurt you if you don't walk a bunch of guys.

You put yourself in that situation by walking guys.  After his control is gone the odds have making good pitches is very low.  Even if it was a good pitch, it's not a smart move and you're going against the percentages.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By ScGO's · Posted

      I firmly believe Elias is attempting to build a package around Mountcastle and Kjerstad w/ 2 to 3 lesser valued pieces in exchange for a good starter

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We probably need to consider who we want facing Soto out of the pen. We need a Soto stopper. https://stathead.com/baseball/versus-finder.cgi?player_id1=soto--003jua&utm_medium=sr_xsite&utm_source=br&utm_campaign=2023_01_player_innernav_stathead&__hstc=107817757.2f3f33a24b44870ec4a577029c49e44b.1699920000170.1699920000171.1699920000172.1&__hssc=107817757.1.1699920000173&__hsfp=966217318 Those are his career stats versus all pitchers. He tunes mostly everyone up pretty good. Some lefties stand out though. More as SP though. Just something to think about for what it seems is an inevitable playoff showdown.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By emmett16 · Posted

      So I’ve spent a bunch of time of Suarez’ BBref page and it’s fascinating.  17 seasons of baseball all over the world in an a ton of leagues (APPY, NYPL, MIDW, GULF, FLOR, VEWL, SOUL, TL, NL, PCL, CALL, ARZ, JPEL, JPCL, KBO, IL, AL) The thing I’ve noticed is that he is incredibly consistent.  In all those 17 seasons: 1. His total era in all 17 years is 3.60 (3.81 MLB, 3.71MiLB, 3.45 Foreign) 2. His total H9 is is 9.0 (8.4MLB, 8.9MiLB, 9.1 Foreign) 3. His total HR9 is 0.7 (.9MLB, .8MiLB, .5 Foreign) 4. His total BB9 is 2.7 (3.0MLB, 2.5MiLB, 2.8 Foreign) 5. His total k9 is 7.0 (6.8 MLB, 6.7 MiLB, 7.7 Foreign) He’s done that pitching  quite a few innings (175MLB, 636MiLB, 676 Foreign) For comparison sake this year he is 2.43era, 7.9H9, 0.2HR9, 3.3BB9, & 6.8K9.  His H9 & HR9 are down a good bit resulting in the lower era.  The BB9 is up slightly and the k9 is right at his career average.  I see some regression  in his future as the HR9 returns closer to career avg. but I don’t see him completely falling off a cliff.   Hes not going to over power you but you know what your going to get.  I find it pretty incredible how he’s maintained a very consistent output of performance throughout his 17 years.  Not a lot of peaks and values.  That has a ton of value.  Glad to see him have some success in the later part of his career.  Easy guy to root for.

      Cowser has shown his defense is good in center too.  Robert strikes out more than Cowser and I don’t see wasting resources on him.  I can’t image the orioles would want him.

      Nolan Hoffman has 15 straight scoreless IP in AAA. What do we make of him?

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Definitely a potential up/down righty on righty option behind Tate. Definite 40 man add this off-season if he keeps it up.

      Ah yes the good old days of tickets printed on paper product.
