  1. Whenever the value of something rises, the value of something else diminishes. If MLB salaries aren't a zero sum game, they're something close to it. If the price of relievers spirals out of control, go find the market that is undervalued and get your performance value from that part of the roster.
  2. I agree he shouldn't be near the top of the lineup but I've always believed that to be the case, even when Brian was rolling an .850 OPS. When he's rolling, he's maybe a 5 hitter. When he's lukewarm, he's a nice 6/7 hitter.
  3. Yeah, the data is wrong right now but BB-Ref tracks days while MLB.com tracks games. So on BB-Ref, you'll get "7 days". That might be five games. On MLB.com, you'll get "7 games".
  4. You know, BB-Ref has been awful in the mornings lately. I thought that number seemed high. For example, yesterday their 2016 stat lines dropped off entirely from 6-8am (as did all their splits pages). It was the third time I've seen it happen this season. It's very possible they're having some sort of data problem when stats update overnight but it seems to clear up by mid-morning.
  5. Pulled it from BB-Ref. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=doziebr01&year=&t=b
  6. So you want to bench the guy with an .883 OPS over the last two weeks, a guy that has been well above average for three consecutive seasons? Seems like a legit argument. Hell, even last night had the wind not be coming in from LF so hard, Dozier hits a two run shot and ties the game (or would they have taken the lead? dunno). Never mind that just the day before that, Dozier had three hits, scored twice, and drove in a run.
  7. Yeah, I wouldn't want to pitch to Miguel there, either.
  8. It sounds like Meyer could start this weekend. In which case, I'll take a Meyer start over an appearance tonight every time.
  9. Uh oh, Francona's got some managin' to do.
  10. Why, and take all the fun out of this 7-14 record?
  11. Park strong like bull. The guy just rips the ball.
  12. That's not Arcia. That's BatManuel.
  13. Stop trying to figure it out. It's a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a turd.
  14. He's going to fight Sub-Zero in the outfield during the stretch.
  15. Arcia actually played that ball off the wall correctly.
  16. Longest. Game. Ever. Pelfrey wanders around the mound for 57 minutes while Meyer walks 17 batters in five innings. Final score, 37 to stopped counting.
  17. There's a high probability that outing ends with three walks, a few runs, and Meyer is yanked from the game so yeah, I say so. It's common sense not to use an inexperienced player in that situation because not only can it go horribly wrong, you've just got into the guy's head in future appearances. If he comes into a game, it should be a clean inning. Put the guy into a position to succeed, not fail.
  18. Well, I'm glad you're not managing the Twins. That's a bad position to put a player in his first appearance (though I agree he should have appeared before tonight).
  19. So you'd put a guy in for the first time in a 3-2 game with no outs and runners in scoring position? Sounds like a good way to set a guy with spotty control up for failure. We all want to see Meyer and I'll be pissed if he doesn't appear tonight but let's be smart about this.
  20. It was weird that he didn't pitch two nights ago but Nolasco went 7 1/3 last night. Not a lot of time to get Meyer into that game. And putting Meyer into tonight's situation in the fifth would have been bad management. You don't do that to a guy in his first appearance.
  21. I suspect it has more to do with not wanting to let Meyer get his feet wet in a close game with runners on base. If he comes in, it'll be a clean inning.
  22. Are we going to get to see Meyer and Berrios in the SAME GAME?
