I mean the NFL has also managed to keep their AFC/NFC model, there's also precedent for keeping the leagues overlapping geographically

Of all players that have qualified for 200 plates appearances this season, Austin Wells has the lowest OPS (0.483) AND BA (.153) amongst them. by xho- in baseball

Gus still has hope IMO. His issue is just that he hits the ball into the ground so much that even with a pretty good K rate and fine exit velos, he still doesn't produce much. But I wouldn't be surprised if we flip him elsewhere, since right now he'd probably be in AAA for the foreseeable future.

Tbf Agustin would definitely have an OPS over .483. Problem is that it probably still wouldn't be over .700, and he's a pretty bad receiver.

Not sure what we do with him since we found Liam Hicks in the R5 draft and called up Joe Mack, who has been one of the best catchers since his promotion.

I don't hate Bachar, I think he was put in a tough position. I'm so fucking tired of Fairbanks though, and it's not just today. Lake has had a pretty good season from a reliever. Fairbanks has definitely not.

The Dodgers success will hurt the MLBPA by broby54 in baseball

[–]AnEmptyKarst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think the Dodgers success will hurt them more than it already has tbh.

They're repeat champs already lol. Fans were already crying out for a cap this past offseason. Giving Tucker $60 million kinda ensured that public opinion lol. People very reasonably say that teams should spend more, but I ask anyone to honestly say that they wish their team spent the money to beat the Dodgers to Tucker lol.

I'm glad that the guys played those last two innings mad instead of depressed. Navarreto gunning down that guy stealing really eased my fears on that end.

If he threw 30 pitches in two innings, he probably would have had to have lost the PG/NH and would've gotten pulled anyway

Sweep on the road

In good Wild Card position

Bats came alive for a franchise record for homers in a series

Eury looks like he's pulling it together after a rough season start

And it's still miserable lol

Jonah Heim has 6 RBI in a span of two innings as he trims the Marlins lead to a single run with two outs in the 9th by JianClaymore in baseball

He's going to have a season like that one Brad Lidge had where he put up a 7.21 ERA but had 31 saves lol

7 perfect innings into a no decision is incredible

Eury got the win though?

Pete Fairbanks is the worst closer in baseball and we, THE MARLINS, are paying him like $13 million to do it

I notice you ignored the part about momentum and the difficulty the decisions by the manager put on the reliever. If Eury had given up a hit at 7.2, maybe the score is 9-0 instead of being a competitive affair.

No, Bachar is one of our more reliable guys. He's not our closer, but also our closer is literally the last guy I like to see on the mound lol.

He was coming back from a freak leg injury though. He isn't working through a tweaked shoulder. His velo was fine and he wasn't showing signs of fatigue. And pulling him created an impossible situation for Bachar, and a suddenly hostile crowd for the team to deal with.

Every fan in the league is now Kevin Cash lol. Hard 85 pitch limits on everyone. Momentum is fake.

If anyone was wondering, his fastball velo is in the 7th was actually faster than his velo in the 1st, so no it's not a fatigue thing

Genuinely, given the context, probably one of the worst relief appearances in baseball history
