    The rule is “down 8 runs you can pitch with a position player at any time, up 10 you can pitch with a position player in the 9th”.

    The Cleveland broadcast explained… if you are up 10 runs you can have a position player pitch the 9th. If you are down 10 runs you can have a position player pitch anytime. Ohtani is listed officially as a two way player
  4. Richie the Rally Goat
    If you’re going to a position player to pitch in the 6th, why not forfeit?

    Good question! I have no idea, but my point of reference is marathon training. I’m starting my taper now for a marathon in early October, that I started training for in April. 3-4 weeks lines up, but I’m not sure how comparable this really is, and just like an Il stint, every situation and athlete is different
  6. Richie the Rally Goat
    Yes, but Ober has obliterated his career innings record this season. Ryan is on track to exceed his innings record too even after his IL stint. Gray hasn’t been a workhorse. this team was going to need some reinforcements for the August slog, I’m ok with that being a guy you dont feel bad about DFAing when he’s not needed anymore.

    I’m still in the River in Egypt phase

    So disappointed for Buck. I can’t imagine what he’s going through! Gotta be brutal for such a competitive guy!
  9. Richie the Rally Goat
    To specify, they could have 60 day Il-Ed Miranda on 8/31 and added Stevenson to the 40 so he could be on the post season?

    It’s the journey, not the destination. I loved watching both World Series championships, but if hope doesn’t spring eternal, there’s no point.
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    How good is your forecast? What is it based on?
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    A ball in play can be a double play or triple play
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    A batted ball can be more productive than a K. It can also be the same as a K, and less productive. Double plays usually happen on batted balls.

    Along this line, baseball is a sport filled with individual contributions, but is a team game. Ultimately how one player does is important, but how the team does is more important. Is it more impactful to team wins and scoring runs to have a homogeneous lineup in terms of skill/ability, or heterogeneous skill/ability?

    Correct, trade assignment waivers have been gone since 2019. No such thing as an August trade anymore. AZPhil of The Cub Reporter has a great MLB Roster Rule resource. https://www.thecubreporter.com/book/mlb-roster-rules-presented-arizona-phil-22
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    They could come back for game 4 of the World Series I guess
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    For non-contenders agreed. For contenders, the 40 man slots are a big deterrent though too, if the claims are post 9/1, you lose two 40 man spots.
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    Sure, they could, but the claimed player can’t be on the post season roster. So you’d lose 2 spots on 40 man depth for the post season. The guy you claimed, and the guy you released to make room.
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    No one is going to claim them Sept 1. If you aren’t making the post season you aren’t adding the cost. If you are making the post season, you don’t want to dilute your roster with players that can’t be on the playoff roster. in other words, a catch and release will cost you the salaries
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    https://www.thecubreporter.com/book/mlb-roster-rules-presented-arizona-phil-22 AZPhil has a good explainer on Waivers “If a player is claimed by only one club, that club is awarded the claim. If more than one club makes a claim, the club with the lowest winning percentage (regardless of league) either from the previous season (beginning on the day after the conclusion of the MLB regular season through the 30th day of the MLB regular season) or on the day the player clears waivers (beginning on the 31st day of the MLB regular season through the last day of the MLB regular season) is awarded the claim. If two clubs with the same winning percentage make a claim, the club in the player's own league is awarded the claim. If two clubs from the same league make a claim and they are tied in the standings, the club with the lowest winning percentage from the previous season is awarded the claim. If the clubs are still tied, standings from two years back (or three years back, four years back, etc) are used to break the tie.“ the current waiver period ends Aug 31.

    If you absolutely have to catch that 10:45 train, I’d take the green line. Parking is hard to get out. I usually park in the ABC ramps. Very slow to exit. Typically on my way back to Wisconsin, it takes 45 minutes to an hour to drive to downtown St. Paul. The only reason I don’t park in St Paul and ride the green line in, is the extra park time and cost of parking/train fare, but that’s not an issue for you.
