    Still blowing in, but not quite as impactful as it has been the prior games.

    It's just so tough to gauge right now with the added WC spots. There will be decent arms available, there almost always is. Alcantara, Elfin, maybe Gausman. Then you have scenarios like what if the Astros fall out of the race (Valdez), what do the Braves do with Sale if they aren't in the race, we could play the what if game for a bunch of teams, but we just won't know until close to the TDL. Heck, Skubal was rumored to be available for a massive package last TDL and they ended up moving Flaherty and made the playoffs. It's unpredictable at this point.

    It's interesting how bad the AL is this year. All but 3 teams are within 4 games of a WC spot, which makes knowing who will be available at the deadline tough to predict.

    Agree with the concern, but I think Jed will keep pumping new BP arms into the system since it's just highly unlikely a SP trade happens right now. That seems to be his current strategy, to get by until closer to the TDL.
  5. KCCub
    Yep - This is the concern with penciling him in the playoff rotation as of today.
  6. KCCub
    I think if TORP are available at the deadline, Jed is going to be swimming in those waters. I think folks are underestimating how aggressive Jed has been at the deadline. Landed the best hitter (Maybe biggest deadline trade overall?) last season when we were under .500. In 2023 he also landed the best hitter, although it was only Candelario. Those teams were nowhere near this current team. I think if someone like Gausman or equivalent becomes available, I expect Jed to land one of the big fish. The O's failures are well documented and have been highly criticized. No chance Jed follows their path and doesn't add a difference maker arm (Unless there literally isn't one available).

    Seeing Cade throw a nasty change gets me excited

    The good - 15.6% SwStr% is nice to see and in line with his 2023 season (15.5%). The bad or worth noting at least - in that stretch he faced COL, CIN, MIA, CHW, CHW, MIA, and NYM in mainly low leverage situations while still having a poor EV against (92.5EV), which is bottom 5% in the league.

    Pressly battled mechanical issues all of 2024. Jed was betting on Pressly's close connection with Hottovy and Poppe to help "fix" him and get his velo and K% back up. That was the hope, but the bet hasn't paid off yet.

    Believe they said Berti on the broadcast yesterday.

    If that is oblique, are they comfortable enough with throwing Mo back there?

    I didn’t think JT had 400+ still in the tank. Good to see
  14. KCCub
    I as well thought Norby hit that a lot better than he did.
  15. KCCub
    Agreed. I think a couple starters around the deadline is absolutely going to be the move. One high end starter and one reliable starter. Allows the young guys to move to the pen to save innings + strengthens the pen.

    Alright Ben let’s get it together and salvage this start.
  18. KCCub
    Along with one of the best team defenses.
  19. KCCub
    Excited for Cade's first start, he's going to have some tough conditions though.

  21. KCCub
    I'm not sure why the entire lineup isn't out yet -
  22. KCCub
    Mo batting 7th tonight

    Was Happ pulled to give him a few innings of rest or did I miss something?
  25. KCCub
    Kelly in the 4 hole, Dansby 8.
