He also had an ERA close to 5 last year and a WHIP over 1.4. He isn't that good.

If you go simply by last season sure it's not really a contest but if you go by the previous 3 seasons all 3 are pretty similar in terms of era/fip/era+ while Montgomery and Cease will give you more innings vs a bit lower era for Snell.

They all have advantages/disadvantages but to say Cease is bad while the other two are good puts a lot of weight solely on last season (and Snell has had some stinker seasons as well).

Finally Cease pitched in front of the worst defence in baseball last year while Snell and Montgomery had good defenses behind him. Cease's era was definitely inflated from that.

You also have to give up a big package for Cease and you can get Monty or Snell for just cash. Unless you're the Yankees.

Ya again there's advantages and disadvantages to all of them including cost of acquiring them. Ya you gotta give up prospects for Cease but you're probably paying him 25 million total for two years.

Also Boras is actively hurting Monty and Snell's careers by not having them in camp by now. There is no way they will be ready for the start of the season.

I know I know, don’t ever read social media comments, but sometimes I can’t help myself. Not talking about that particular post, but there has been so much gross stuff I’ve seen on baseball related Instagram accounts of how “Bauer did nothing wrong ! That lying bitch ruined his life!” Etc.

Have I forgotten what a perfect inning is? The first out is not a swinging strike. Or am I getting confused with an immaculate inning?

Yep, that's the point of your confusion, at least somewhat. Perfect inning means no base runners, 3 up and 3 down. One ninth of a regulation perfect game. Immaculate inning means all outs on 9 strikes (3 strikeouts), though they don't have to be swinging strikes necessarily.

As compared to a Maddux Inning, which is three weak groundball outs on three pitches.

what the absolute gently caress

:nms:

quote:

The former Texas Rangers reliever, who signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates in January, posted the 30-second video on his Instagram stories page.

It shows Chapman lying on a couch, snuggling up against an older, gray-haired woman. Chapman squeezes each of her breasts while she gently tries to brush his hands away. Before he stops groping with his hands, he kisses her right breast over her clothing. Her legs are under a blanket, and she appears completely clothed.

Several online sleuths surmised with other photographic evidence that the woman is Chapman's mother, but that hasn't been confirmed.
