    From Dave Cameron's chat today Q:: Indians pitching usage: Kluber for 6, Miller for 2, and Allen for the 9th, or the field? Dave Cameron: Kluber for 4, Miller for 3, Allen for 2. In fact, Cameron was so adamant about that when someone asked him if Kluber was perfect through 4, would he still pull him? Cameron said yes. 'Mike D: If Kluber has been perfect through 4 with 12 strikeouts, you still take him out? Dave Cameron: Yes. Dave Cameron: Miller > Kluber. I want Miller on the mound as quickly as possible while still giving me a shot to have him and Allen finish the game.' Basically, he was saying in a 9 inning game, he would only have three pitchers go and that would have to mean Kluber goes 4. If Kluber got pulled after only going through the lineup once, the game couldn't be finished by Miller and Allen. Too many innings.

    From what I read, most were preaching 4-3-2 innings by Kluber-Miller-Allen

    http://www.cnbc.com/id/45960981 'What defines a small-market team is usually based on TV households and the size of the local population. St. Louis, Cincinnati and Arlington, Texas, are at the high end of the range, and Pittsburgh and Oakland are at the lower. Washington, Baltimore and Cleveland are toward the middle.'

    no, today :-) http://www.recordonline.com/sports/20161102/world-series-game-7-start-time-moved-up-slightly-due-to-threat-of-rain 'CLEVELAND — There is a chance of rain in the late innings of World Series Game 7 between the Cubs and Indians at Cleveland's Progressive Field on Wednesday night. Major League Baseball announced late Tuesday it was moving up the start time by 8 minutes to 8 p.m.'

    According to Forbes, Giants Market gets them close to 900M, A's market gets them around 200M. https://newballpark.org/2015/03/26/the-small-market-as-and-some-serious-equity/ The Giants dominate that market for many reasons not the least of which is their stadium and their recent success.

    Dodgers have no need for bottom rotation/AAA starter material. They have a very good staff now and lots of quality arms in the system.
  7. jimmer
    yeah, the middle is completely ignored. it's a battle of extremes.
  8. jimmer
    wasn't moved up much, but it was moved up. :-)

    About 75% or so of this country is made up of white people with about half of those being men. Makes sense that, by sheer numbers, the majority of azzhats are white and are part of the problem. It's also likely that the quality changes that are being brought about (and have been brought about) in this country, however slowly these changes happen, are also being fueled, at least in part, by the same demographic. Plenty of white people are part of the problem AND plenty of white people (men included) are part of the solution as well, since 75% or so of the country is white. So while it's horrible a good chunk of people have had bad experiences with white people (and maybe white males specifically), it still doesn't make it right to blanket thee whole demographic as a problem that one is tired of. The vast majority of MY bad experiences have also come from white males, but I just take those as individual experiences with individuals not indicative of everyone who falls under the demographic. And, I guarantee, if a poster in here had said they were tied of black people or black males (and they 'supported' that statement basing it on having bad experiences with black males in their past), this whole site erupts and the person likely gets banished.

    and the start time had to be moved up because more rain is expected.
  11. jimmer
    I agree. They don"t use DH in the NL on a regular basis :-)

    good to know the millions of us are painted with the same brush because of some bad eggs. Here i thought the goal was trying to stop doing that. I guess its okay to be racist against white people and sexist against white males.

    i started working on convincing my wife to move out of the country when i retire in 15 years. Its pretty much a done deal. Now its about deciding where. Cueto, Ecuador is a real possibility as is Panama, Ireland,England and Scotland.

    Brock, Your patience has run out with white people in this country? Really?
  15. jimmer
    i get what you are saying, but the prevailing thinking around here seems to be dont bother trying to improve by trading or signing players because we lost 103 games. Are we just supposed to play the 'wait for our prospects' game and just hope it works? How many, 'lets see what we got' years do we go through? I am still at a loss as to how we are actually going to improve our roster when the prevailing thought is, dont trade Dozier, santana, or prospects and dont sign anyone. This team is more than just a tweak or two away from being a decent team. This team is below average offensively and horrific on defense and pitching. We need to improve everywhere and every bit counts.

    Problem is, one might not even notice a warning got assigned without a PM. I know i dont go looking in my profile to see if i have one or make note to look if i have one when i make a post.

    twins would be better served trying to sign or trade for a 3rd OF and let Rosario be the 4th OF, which is what he should be.
  18. jimmer
    i would be incredibly shocked if he got a contract like that, or even close,but I suppose it could happen. Contracts have gotten way past out of hand.
  19. jimmer
    is the market for a #4 starter set at around 15-17M for 3-4 years? Seem pricey
  20. jimmer
    No
  21. jimmer
    For clarification, are the roster riddles the new FO has to fix only roster holes or would one roster riddle be having Mauer, Vargas, Park, Plouffe and Sano? (Mostly underwhelming options and only 3 spots to put them)
  22. jimmer
    I look forward to the day Joe West retires.
  23. jimmer
    You know, I've mostly enjoyed this series, but it really hasn't been that great, you know. Just hasn't been overly exciting.
  24. jimmer
    I'm looking forward to seeing the kind of decisions the new FO makes (like what position players are expected to play most of the time, what trades are made, when extensions are done, etc.)and the changes that get implemented (like in minor league development, philosophies, etc).
  25. jimmer
    Are personal messages explaining why a warning point is given out not sent anymore?
