    Belt's bat would more than make up for the dropoff in defense, especially against RHP. Santana has a 70 OPS+ on the season and a 46 sOPS+ vs RHP. Carlos Correa's glove couldn't make up the gap between that and the 124 OPS+ Belt had last season (142 sOPS+ vs RHP).

    Or fielding worth a darn. Keirsey's glove should more than make up for any difference in their hitting.
  3. DJL44
    And half the players will hit below league average against them. Castro is definitely playable vs RHP.
  4. DJL44
    Which is probably fine because his glove is enough to make up for it. He's a very good utility player.
  5. DJL44
    Brandon Belt is still sitting at home.
  6. DJL44
    If they cut Margot and move Keirsey up that opens a spot for Emmanuel Rodriguez in AAA. It might be a matter of weeks.

    Kirilloff started off hot but has a 500 OPS over the last 28 days. I don't blame Baldelli for pinch hitting for Alex but he doesn't really have a better option on the bench. It's too bad Larnach is not able to play the field, he's usually a better defender than Kirilloff.

    They got back a prospect who is essentially equal to the one they sent to the Dodgers in the trade for Margot. If Margot is a waste, it's just cash. Margot's dropoff defensively is concerning and the sprint speed metrics agree he is slower. It points to an overall decline in athletic ability. That might be due to an injury but it means he's not likely to contribute. His batting numbers keep getting worse, which is another bad sign. I'd rather see the lefty hitters get the at-bat and stay in the game than see Margot pinch hit for them.

    Offer him a short contract extension now.

    ESPN, Fox, and Warner Bros. are putting together a juggernaut sports streaming app - The Verge

    The whole point of leveraging your bullpen is to have your top pitcher face the top hitters every time you have a chance to win. That should be the goal of every manager.
  12. DJL44
    His skill set is valued quite highly in arbitration, more than it would be as a free agent.

    The best revenue for in-stadium advertising comes, not coincidentally, from locations that are in the sight line of the typical TV camera angles. Those ads are essentially TV ads that BSN doesn't get any revenue from. Why else would the Dodgers get an in-stadium ad buy for Japanese cat food? Without a TV audience those in-stadium ad rates are going to be a LOT lower.
  14. DJL44
    That's a league wide problem

    Will huge ad money follow Shohei Ohtani from Angels to Dodgers? – Orange County Register (ocregister.com) Brands love in-stadium advertising because it is a constant, non-skippable commercial.
  16. DJL44
    There's two options here that make sense 1) Morris messed up, overplayed the Twins hand and they ended up back at BSN with little leverage. The Twins told her to leave. 2) Morris set something brand new up and was about to start it before she was overruled by higher up execs who chose 1 year with BSN. She left because her work was not appreciated.

    This has to be absolutely killing their in-stadium advertising sales revenue. "Advertise with us and a few people who use DirectTV will see it!" Yes, and Comcast has all of the leverage. It probably benefits Comcast to crush Diamond Sports and make them go away completely. Comcast is not just a customer, they are a competitor with their own regional sports channels. Eliminating Diamond Sports would make MLB more likely to take Comcast's terms to stream games on Peacock or partner with them on regional sports networks.

    This is true. Most times when I'm reading comments I don't even pay attention to who said them.
  19. DJL44
    Vazquez has a well deserved defensive reputation. It isn't just because his bat is bad.
  20. DJL44
    That's a great option for some. For me that would mean: Get home around midnight every evening, lose job due to lack of sleep, wife divorces me because I'm never home.... For my dad who just lost the games because his senior apartments have Xfinity that's a non-starter. I find attending games at Target Field to be a fun thing to do once a year. I don't understand how people have enough leisure time to buy full season tickets. If I can catch a few innings on the radio broadcast it's a win. I don't know how people have 5 hours of free time in the evenings to attend games regularly.
  21. DJL44
    Is Rortvedt actually a good defensive catcher or do people just assume he's good defensively because he can't hit? Jeffers is an average defensive catcher. Pair that with his bat and you have a candidate for the All-Star game roster.
  22. DJL44
    He should have been offered a contract extension in the offseason. That was a missed opportunity.
  23. DJL44
    How is "use a radio" #4 on the list of ways of listening to games on the radio?
  24. DJL44
    Is any team out there wishing they took Keirsey in the Rule 5 draft? He's having a very nice April.

    iPhone using Safari. The ads load as I scroll down and every time a new one pops in it starts me over at the top of the article. On my work computer the virus scanner checks everything as it loads individually for adware and load times are glacial. For example, I click on the notifications and it can take 5-10 minutes to load that pop-up window.
