    Well I didn't expect much from this "pipeline." But I Sure read a lot over the winter and spring from folks who did.
  2. USAFChief
    You had a 50 50 shot
  3. USAFChief
    They need about 3 bats. Minimum. 4 if Correa opts out. Maybe one of Kirilloff/Larnach fills one of those holes adequately.
  4. USAFChief
    That might be how you get a negative OPS+
  5. USAFChief
    The what?
  6. USAFChief
    Oh c'mon, Polanco. FFS.
  7. USAFChief
    Trea Turner has 80 RBI. Eighty. Eight oh.
  8. USAFChief
    Kepler Oh-for-forever
  9. USAFChief
    BOUT ******* TIME
  10. USAFChief
    Correa . Sigh...
  11. USAFChief
    To be fair, throws to 2nd from the catcher aren't supposed to need backup from the left fielder.
  12. USAFChief
    Just hand them a run.
  13. USAFChief
    Is that better or worse than getting Munson'd?
  14. USAFChief
    It's like golf, right? The lower the number the better?
  15. USAFChief
    Either that or perhaps the Kershaw injury.
  16. USAFChief
    A team with Nick Gordon batting 5th is hard to take seriously.
  17. USAFChief
    I'd say of those, Duran has established himself as a viable MLB pitcher. His stuff is too good not to be successful if healthy. Ryan and Jax are partially there. Neither are established yet though. Ryan looks no better than Scott Diamond did after a year. Ober, Winder and Moran have established nothing. The "pipeline" is so robust they needed to sign Archer and Bundy, and trade for another starter and 2 relievers.
  18. USAFChief
    Dunno about that. Seems to me wasn't saving himself during the AS break. He stepped out on us.
  19. USAFChief
    Good luck, Mr Cantarino. Maybe reach the Twins pen summer 2024.
  20. USAFChief
    So what's going on with Buxton? Four starts in August, all at DH.
  21. USAFChief
    So bust the union. What other major pro sport doesn't have a salary cap?
  22. USAFChief
    This isn't about single season WL records. That's due to the nature of the two sports and seasons less than 20 games vs 162 games. This is about a team in Green Bay being on equal financial feet as a team in Dallas as a team in Los Angeles. Those teams can go up and down in Wins and Losses based on personnel, coaching, and luck. That's no longer the case in baseball, where the Yankees last had a sub .500 record during the Clinton administration. Year 1 of the Clinton Administration BTW. The same top spending teams are at the top of the standings virtually every year. The NFL is a MODEL of parity compared to MLB.
  23. USAFChief
    Who resists revenue sharing, salary caps, payroll taxes?
  24. USAFChief
    Yup, baseball is broken. 1. Bust the union, like the NFL did, is step one. The union is by far the biggest detriment to competitive balance. Players, BTW, needn't lose much if any money in thr process. A little more can go to the minor leagues, more to the average MLB players, a lot less to the few at the top. 2. Share the money. Almost all of it. This is one area where ownership needs to show some foresight. Share it among ownership, and the players. 3. Hard salary cap and hard salary floor. Non negotiable. No exceptions. The Dodgers don't get to spend 1 penny over the cap. The A's don't get to spend 1 penny under. If they're sharing revenues, this is doable.
  25. USAFChief
    Hahahaha. 3 straight innings the Yankees lose the ghost runner. Unbelievable.
