Impressive defeat of Camilo Doval by Juan Soto to key the sweep in San Francisco.

Doval is functionally near to Felix Bautista and Mason Miller as hairy as a relief pitcher can get, but Soto's the favorite over just about anybody in the hitter v. pitcher building block of the game.

Gerrit scheduled to pitch AA tomorrow as we start to see how their Bradish scenario this season does at minor league game intensity.

What's the square root of 50...something like 7.1?    Even if both Bradish and Cole are 70% to be in the clear today, odds still favor one of them being absent by season's end.

Szymborski's June update projected East 2nd place to beat Central 2nd place by 7 games and I believe if they beat them by even 1 game, BAL-NYY is locked to the 5-game setting if it occurs.

Who had Juan Soto in the pool of who needs TJ first out of Kyle Bradish, Gerrit Cole and Juan Soto?

I hope Soto is good.     It is tricky dynamics between Boras Corp and NYY if anything is amiss.

I am merely guessing like Ohtani last year if need be he could DH indefinitely closing out an Arb-salaried season, though that might impact his start of 2025 availability for a FA-salaried season.

The Dodgers know his quality regardless of anything he does or doesn't do the next 4-5 months.

Luis Gil and Tyler Glasnow in the ESPN primetime Sunday night is pretty.

Last night on FOX I heard more than one instance of John Smoltz choosing "unfortunately" from his word book to describe ordinary baseball happenings to NYY.

Not that the networks and commissioner prefer one team over another, or would ever weight the tumbling dice, umpire scorecards or bouncing balls to create revenue positive situations.

With Soto missing time with his forearm issue, Judge seems to be taking on the frontrunner status for MVP.  His OPS is up to 1.137 and he just hit his 24th HR.  This season looks better than his MVP/62 HR season.  2nd would have to be a toss up between Cleveland's Ramirez and Soto, IMO.  I have Gunnar in 4th.  Just my personal ranking.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By casadeozo · Posted

      I almost think Crochet should get his own thread as he’s monopolized this trade deadline thread.    my .02 cents. I doubt Elias will pay the price it will take to get him. He’s proven repeatedly he’s pretty conservative when it comes to trades and will not pay the overpay Getz has shown he wants for his players.

      What makes Basallo so untouchable?

      By spiritof66 · Posted

      I don't know much about the Padres' market. Those other teams have much higher revenues than the Orioles, enabling them to bid higher. Sure, at any time some of them will  be limited or even disabled by existing payroll obligations, luxury tax concerns, or an unwillingness to spend because they don't think they're competitive. But all of them? The Dodgers are going to tell their fans that they really wanted to sign X to lead their pitching staff, but they got edged out by the Orioles? Maybe. I don't know much about the Padres' market. The Cardinals, despite being based in a small city, have two things going for them that give them revenues of a mid- to larger-market  team. (I think comparing revenues over a period of time is a much better way to measure teams' financial wherewithal.)  They are (1) a huge regional market that goes back over a century, with a size and strength that no team other than possibly the Red Sox has been able equal, and (2) the fact that St. Louisans (and people from that area) are crazy about baseball, I believe more so than any other city. St. Louis is a small city, but the Cardinals do not share the characteristics of a small-market team.

      Grow the Bats? Grow the Arms? Both? Neither?

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      I think it was Andy MacPhail who said grow the arms and buy the bats.  The O's had some bad luck with that strategy when guys like Adam Loewen and Hayden Penn were derailed by injury.  Obviously others just never panned out.   But I'm thinking they never took the strategy to its potential when they chose not to target and develop players from the Caribbean countries -- pitchers or position players.  Not to say that strategy definitely would have worked out if they had a greater presence in the Caribbean then, but they must have missed out on many promising arms.

      Who goes when Kremer comes up?

      By clapdiddy · Posted

      I think Scott McGregor, right now, may be a better starter than Irvin.

      It's been disappointing how Dean has pitched in his rehab starts, but sometimes you gotta give a guy the benefit of the doubt and just assume he turns it back on when he's back up here. I think he's earned that, and I'm not even the biggest Kremer guy.  I say call him up, chuck Irvin in the pen, and go from there.

      By wildcard · Posted

      Kremer can stay at Norfolk for the rest of the year if that is what Elias thinks is best for the team.   His rehab can go until July 15th.   And he can be optioned to Norfolk if that is the right thing to do. The question in front of Elias is:   Is Kremer ready to be a better starter than Irvin?
