    Yeah, I get the comparison but proximity to MLB would be a significant tie breaker for me and as OO said, seems like shiny new toy syndrome won out here instead.

    Putting the freshly drafted pitcher ahead of the guy already in AAA and on the doorstep of being a useful MLB pitcher is certainly a take.
  3. mul21
    I'd bet he keeps starting because the control is still a little suspect and more repetition is probably a good thing. He walked 4 guys in one of his recent starts so he hasn't cleaned up all the issues and as someone else said, it'll be interesting to see what more advanced hitters do against him to see if he's just too good for the current level or if there's enough deception that he'll still miss the number of bats he has been.

    That was going to be my next question.
  5. mul21
    As in guys who should probably get promoted and don't are the guys on the block to keep their production in a positive light?

    I'm still befuddled that we had to rely on a 38 year old defender to play starter's minutes in a World Cup.

    You can't say they're bad at it when they don't draft any pitchers. Geez. 😂

    I generally agree with you, but I think the piece you're missing is that the owners want to decide what is and isn't included in revenue for the purposes of sharing and that will absolutely be a sticking point because that's the how of the cost cutting you're talking about. The true opening of the books for a real accounting of ALL revenues is just never going to happen and why we likely don't see a salary cap, at least in this round of negotiations. they may eventually get there, but I don't think it happens in this CBA.

    It baffles me that something like this can happen. Aren't these guys getting thorough physicals at the beginning of each season that would include a vision check, seeing as it's a kind of important thing to have dialed in as a hitter?
  10. mul21
    Yeah, being compared to a guy who was the second overall pick is probably bad. 🙄

    This is pretty spot on. https://danpatrick.com/2026/07/09/kevin-frazier-sounds-off-on-another-usmnt-letdown/

    Craig said it was a cramp in the postgame interview and that he's good to go.

    That level of specialization at 9 years old is just crazy to me. Do kids even play sports at school once they get to middle school anymore? That's where a lot of the development for kids my age came because the seasons were short and you could try just about everything.

    Why do we even have replay if they're going to blatantly ignore the fielder stepping on the baserunner's hand AND pushing him off the base?
  15. mul21
    You don't recall the soft tossing righty Jake Woodford, formerly of the Cardinals and recently the Brewers? For shame. 😂
  16. mul21
    Ferguson and Woodford to finish this I guess? Maybe Rolison is available?
  17. mul21
    He looked like ass before he kicked that guy's foot and got hurt. Piss on him.
  18. mul21
    Cubs have the 5th best record in baseball and 4th best in the NL. It's crazy.
  19. mul21
    He's running an insanely high BABIP right now so excitement should be tempered in spite of the good numbers.
  20. mul21
    See also, "pixie dust". The horseshoe up their ass against the DBacks the other day was particularly annoying though.
  21. mul21
    Totally agree and I was speaking more in general than toward any specific guy.
  22. mul21
    As desperate as this team is for high octane arms, I wouldn't be terribly upset about picking a guy who you think can be a late inning circle of trust guy inside of 2 years from being drafted. I'm no draft expert, but it sounds like the bats expected to be around at 23 are questionable and the arms all have injury or pitchability questions. Grabbing a guy with a big arm who can move quickly and may be better suited to the pen because of previous injuries seems like a solid use of resources considering the dearth of relievers in the pipeline.
  23. mul21
    You don't need to look any further than the 2006 Cardinals, who are by far the worst regular season team to ever win a WS, to see a team that got both healthy and hot at the right time to go all the way. We even have a burgeoning starter who can be plugged into the bullpen as a relief ace like Wainwright was that year in Wiggins.
  24. mul21
    I think worrying about them winning is unnecessary. Even if we get there, France will beat us like 5-1.

    Bernstein was talking about it on his podcast last week at some point to address the previous professional relationship they'd had. Absolutely wild stuff all precipitated by a traffic accident.
