  1. it's not that i can't see a team giving stanton something along the lines of 7/208 at that point...it's that i don't see how much more upside there'd be beyond that for it to be worth the risk for him. a lot obv depends on how things play out between now and then. the sport will continue to be flush with money and only one real place to spend it.
  2. reminds me of something i saw at game 5 of the WS. before the game, a couple guys were standing in front of the field taking a picture holding up a W flag. some horsefeathers behind me got very angry and cussed them out loudly over it. idiots. Nothing beats the idiots during game 7 that kept counting down the outs. I thought I was going to lose it. Why?

  4. oh man i just watched all these playoff highlights from last year and baseball is awesome again
  5. speaking of prospect dong videos, this might've been my favorite of that era i think that was the night he RTd like every tweet/article that mentioned it/praised him
  6. god bless you prospect nerds that can manage to care enough to watch freaking minor league games at this point even when we were horrible and i followed the minors to keep myself sane, i only looked at box scores and dong videos
  7. Unless they think he's hurt or his arm is about to explode, I'm not a big fan of this logic, since it applies nearly equally to every team and player that could be traded. i just don't see why a team that is trending upward (and appears to be in the process of turning a corner on big league results) with a lot of young talent coming up would be looking to sell low on a 26 year old starter who has had success in the past. i'm not saying it's blanket logic that can be applied everywhere or anything, but this specific case is odd to me.
  8. all you need to know about newcomb is that he's a lefty
  9. The braves are. 500 and have the second best record in baseball since the start of June... They're also a terrible team that doesn't do anything well on either side of the ball with a big negative run differential. in that same stretch they have a +11 run differential (-35 on the season) they have played considerably better (without looking at anything regarding their schedule) in the last 6 weeks or so.
  10. cubs are back up to 67% chance to win the division per FG brewers at 15%
  11. Because selling established pitching during a rebuild is a pretty basic step? The alternative is having him wade through the leanest years with the team, blowing ages 26-28 most likely, and upping the chances for injury. The braves are. 500 and have the second best record in baseball since the start of June... no thanks to Teheran
  12. Yeah, it's the only reason I even responded. Wasn't expecting that out of Truffle. unreliable closers bring out the meatball from deep within. which wade davis isn't so?
  13. i've never liked teheran at all and like him even less now that he's a dumpster fire also, ask yourself why a team that's approaching seeing the fruits of a rebuild is very open to trading a 26 year old starter
  14. not used to truffle being all extreme meatball
  15. if not for freeman this would be yet another 9 or 10 run game for our offense ha
  16. are you [expletive] me? this should be a 6 or 7-1 game right now
  17. Well yes and no. It's actually that the O's suck and paying near FA dollars for a ~average starter probably does nothing for them this year or next. The Cubs, OTOH, have that kind of flexibility for a year and a half and the roster to do what they've done to protect their rookies by offering better matchups. how about we use that flexibility on somebody good rofl
  18. lol i love when gato goes all in on defending one of his terrible player crushes
