    Make the playoffs hasn't been good enough the last 2 years, they've been out after 1 game. To me, it's hard to justify running in mud just to potentially lose your 1 and only playoff game for the next few years (which would be the case if they aren't better than the Cubs). I understand the whole "crapshoot" playoffs thing, but it would be different if we're talking about a division winner, guaranteed a 5-game series. But as long as they're behind the Cubs they face a 50/50 chance of going home after the 163rd game, while they need to beat a Jake Arrieta, Madison Bumgarner, Clayton Kershaw, Matt Harvey, Stephen Strasburg type of pitcher. For a small market team already pushing 90M in payroll and needing to pay arbitration guys in the near future....that's not an ideal scenario, IMO. so they rebuild to probably be in a very similar spot again in 5 years? i think they're set up very well with lots of good young players for the next few years and i don't see why they should start a tear down because the cubs are insanely dominant right now. lots can change from year to year.

    yeah...i don't see how you just ignore the wild card and "rebuild" when you have a good team just because there's a likely dominant team for the next few years in your division.

    Lol the thread started discuss the pirates as another contender in our division is now talking about whether they should trade Andrew mccutchen

    do peopel not realize that they're 8-9 record in one run games is a testament to how good they are because when they lose, they lose close? lol

  14. David
    lmao this is great

    not if you look at his peripherals Eh, they aren't horrible, confidence diminishing peripherals. Lack of Ks are concerning, but he's been tougher to hit (BABIP luck). 6.5 K/9 to 4.15 BB/9 and a 5.19 xFIP = pretty damn bad
  16. David
    great AB rossy
  17. David
    Or the entire season notwithstanding. He's been pretty good. Only given up runs in 5 outings this year. not if you look at his peripherals
