Wesnasty for closer  Yency's save last night was a silly 5-run one, since he came in with a four run lead with two on in the 8th.

He signed his extension after the 2020 season. Which is when you were saying he was one of the 10 best players in baseball. It's 6/90, which isn't exactly a big contract - especially for a club like the Yankees. e: Like, if you want to argue it was a bad contract then because there was no way he was actually one of the 10 best players in baseball at the time he signed the contract, sure, that makes sense. But you're basically arguing that you're an idiot and Cashman should be smarter than you. Which, fair enough, I'd hope all our teams GM's aren't as dumb as we are. e2: Sorry Rockies fans, they're dumber. habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Apr 24, 2024 |

Sydin posted:It was only for one inning and he threw gently caress all pitches so maybe they were just considering that his pen work for the day and he'll still grab a start down the line? Alternatively I guess WESNASTY™ might grab the next open start, I believe he's stretched out fully. With the way the schedule is lined up that spot isn't til Saturday, wouldn't surprise me to see Wez get some work today and then have Brown/Wez piggyback for that game.

You would have called Brian Cashman the worst GM in baseball if he'd let Lemahieu walk. You can say he's a terrible GM but you can't use both sides of the same argument to do so!!!

Like I hate Ross Atkins, general manager of the Toronto Blue Jays. However, he may have actually been correct in paying Yusei Kikuchi and trading for Daulton Varsho. Maybe. We'll see.

I still find it hard to believe the Astros are this bad and think they will be ok when they get their 300 injured pitchers back, but it is very nice of them rught now to give the rest of baseball an opportunity to throw them into the toilet.

are we talking about bad extensions? Chris Taylor since signing his 4 year $60M deal with the Dodgers in the winter of '21: .220/.308/.377, an 88 OPS+ and 34.3% strikeout rate

It'll be too late. The whole loving team has the yips, they're leading the league in hits and batting something like .090 RISP. I mean, you take out the first inning meltdown yesterday by a guy who should be starting AAA games or storming the capitol and it's close, but that's been the way of it all year. Either the other team jumps on the not-ready-for-the-bigs starter and the offense starts pressing too hard, or we get a 2 or 3 run lead only to immediately surrender it to whichever of our vaunted three-headed monster comes in. 6 blown saves, 0-6 in 1 run games. Haven't won one in extras since last season. Early last season.

Bismack Billabongo posted:Hard to really pinpoint one thing that caused all of this but yeah, they’re beyond embarrassing. Pitiful performances from the players who are supposed to be your stars, underwhelming performances from most of your young up and comers, terrible vibes from Marmol, “we know best” vibes from a front office that has made a habit of parting ways with guys who end up way better once they get out of the organization, and an owner who doesn’t want to spend (to be fair this part describes like 24 of the owners in MLB). The teams attendance has absolutely cratered, it’s shocking how empty the stadium is. Talent evaluation and/or development has become nonexistent. How many top 100/top 50 prospects have struggled to do anything meaningful in the bigs? They just sent Jordan Walker back to AAA for christ sake

I think last season they sent him to Memphis asking him to lift and pull more, and he was poo poo against AAA pitching too. Then they were like "nope never mind, turns out your approach that made you a top ten prospect in baseball was actually okay" and then he started hitting again. So maybe they don't have analytics OR hitting coaches worth a drat? Poque posted:the Cardinals will be the White Sox of the NL if they don't right this ship soon

I mean there is something to the idea of letting a kid go back down to the minors for a bit where he can mash and rebuild some confidence, but yeah my understanding is it's not like there's anybody banging on the door to replace Walker and the Cardinals aren't currently looking like they're in some incredible tight race, probably better to just play him every day and let him figure it out vs MLB pitching. 114 OPS+ last year for him too so it's also likely he just needs to adjust now that the book is out on him and that's not something that's gonna happen at AAA.

The team is definitely still pretending they can win the division. So I don’t know if they think this makes the team better for right now or what. But anybody who believes anything that mozeliak or Marmol say out loud is fooling themselves
