He signs Adley to a 10 year deal he can throw out every first pitch he wants, frankly.

I challenge the Blue Jays to score a run this week.

One would assume the Yankees sweeping and shutting them out would eliminate them from the playoffs without a doubt but Seattle and Houston are trying really hard to suck even more, like no one wants to go to the postseason.

Braves announced they'd also be doing simulated games, though they'd be free for the general public. I think it's a good idea for exactly baseball only. Every other sport has too high an injury risk to do something like that, in my opinion.

We don't know. Last I saw he had done a simulated game but that's still a ways off from "actually for real pitching in the playoffs". Obviously you want him back, but is, say, 80% Bautista better than Tyler Wells? Perez? I don't know that he is.

I wonder if anyone is going to pitch more than 150 IP 20 years from now.
this is why I think BORGs are the new market inefficiency. you have to pitch about 1470 innings per year and guys that can give you a 105 ERA+ for 175 innings are waaay more valuable than 120 ERA+ over 130 IP, 45 IP you don't have to dip into your bullpen for means you get to dodge your bad arms and send your good arms out more often.

if I'm a GM I'm looking for fading guys that have a year left in their arms, offer them league min 1yr deals and ride them.into the ground with the promise they'll get to start. either they explode their arms or they pitch great, revitalize their career and collect a bag elsewhere

Give me every Rich Hill and Livan Hernandez I can find

Sure Cabrera is finally coming off of the books and ERod is probably going to opt out, but where will they find the money?!?

I would love it if they got creative and tried to extend Riley Greene to a reasonable deal due to the injury concerns (ala early Steph Curry), but we can't have nice things.

We still see this happen from time to time. Most famously when Blake Snell was taken out by Kevin Cash in the 6th inning of game 6 in the 2020 World Series only having thrown 73 pitches.

Also hell yes division win! The last time this happened in 2014 I was running around my house by myself hooting and hollering like a maniac, and this time I had to be very subdued about it because my six month old son was asleep on my shoulder and I didn’t want to risk waking him up.

Saves can be blown by more than just the closer, it's probably not as uncommon as you think.
