  1. I would appreciate a deep dive on Morris. What pitches does he throw? What is he good at and what is he working on?
  2. I looked up his stats before this season and his pinch hitting was worse than his overall hitting (.188) but it wasn't this bad. The crazy part about that stat is he's almost always brought in to hit a lefty pitcher so he should be in a situation to succeed. I'm pretty sure the opposing manager didn't swap pitchers every time.
  3. This was inevitable and probably necessary. Don't give up on him after he goes back to AAA.
  4. Most bullpens are pretty shallow when you get to the 6th best pitcher. My god, how can Margot be that bad at pinch hitting. Someone pointed out to me Giancarlo Stanton's struggles pinch hitting. He may have a rival.
  5. Radio update from Gladden. Miranda should be back tomorrow. Royce should get a rehab assignment within a week.
  6. Kikuchi gave up 4 runs in 5 innings vs the Tigers. 8K 2BB. Looks like every game is free on MLB.TV again today.
  7. The Rubik's cube on Sunday is limited to 5000 but everyone's going home with a free night light on Tuesday!
  8. https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/help-center/subscription-access-mlb-on-the-roku-channel
  9. Lots of baseball to watch tonight. Every game that isn't on Apple+ is free on MLB.tv!
  10. That's the problem. To get the games you need to buy a variety of streaming services.
  11. I would trade Duran for another Joe Ryan. Starters are just more valuable than relievers.
  12. It also means he doesn't have any trade value until 2027. I'm surprised the union let him negotiate away 10-5 rights.
  13. MLB trade rumors did a good analysis of the Blue Jays today. They're about $10-15M over the competitive balance tax threshold. Trading Turner and Kikuchi and Yimi Garcia would get them under the threshold. That's why they tried to give away Kiermaier this week. Adding Kikuchi now would put $4.7M on the Twins payroll, which should be manageable. The Jays are motivated to dump salary so he will go to the highest bidder. I know someone else said a lefty isn't that important because other playoff teams have hit lefties but the Yankees are one of the teams where it helps to have a LH starter (20% worse vs LHP). The Yankees have a .525 OPS against Kikuchi in 63 plate appearances this year. Kikuchi has also been good vs the Royals and Ober gets destroyed by the Royals. Baseball playoffs are all about matchups.
  14. Who keeps the zone that red off the plate away? He must be good at going opposite field for hits. His only hole appears to be pitches above the zone.
  15. Contract is improved = higher salary = lower trade value. Guys with NTC are typically going to return very little because they're being paid market value or will require they are paid market value as a condition of the trade.
