Depending on whether you buy that the 180 inning "plan" (to pull one number that was mentioned) was a cast-in-stone number, as agent Boras claimed, or more just a general target, as Alderson did.
And, yes, they went over it due to the post-season; whether that was a good decision or a bad one is debatable. But the part I'm not buying is the one where said decision could only have been made in light of the team having no reason to care about his long-term health based on already pre-deciding not to re-sign him when his FA eligibility comes up three-plus seasons down the road. As if we, or anyone else for that matter, know in advance what kind of a pitcher Harvey's going to be, what his state of mind will be, or what the financial state of the team and the market will be when that time rolls around.

If you recall, numerous folks, including some around here, KNEW that there was no chance of resigning Cespedes because the payroll ceiling would not and could not be increased - and that story was peddled right up until about 20 minutes before it actually happened. But yet now we know what is or isn't going to happen in the winter of '18-'19 and that decisions made in September of '15 were made based on those "facts".

Harvey sucks.

[Lefty Specialist]

Boy, Strasburg was just toying with them there.

Throwup Thursday.

[Frayed Knot]

We gotta stop walking Werth.
There are only three guys in that lineup who are hitting right now and we keep walking the .220 guy batting in front of them!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

still feels like they have all the momentum

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

gross.

[Lefty Specialist]

Throwback Thursday.....all the way to 1962.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

What a shameful performance

[Frayed Knot]

Well the rest of my night just became free, any suggestions?

What, other than the one error, the other play not made, Wright throwing to the wrong base, and the eighteen line drives, it wasn't so bad.

[Chad ochoseis]

I just got done working. I take it that I shouldn't bother turning on the game.

lmao. I needed that, thanks. So could things go any worse than this? We can afford to have one pitcher underperform, but I would have never thought it would be The Dark Blight.

We're not out of this. We can hit 7 homers.

They are giggling like the girly-men they are. I now have WOR on via mlb.com but it's 5 seconds ahead of the MASN feed.

That poor kid. I won't claim to be his biggest fan but wow what he must be feeling...

[Edgy MD]

Plawecki, lead the counter-attack.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Keith plays the kahnfidence card talking about Stra$.

[Edgy MD]

I want my Murphy back.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I think getting Harvey back would more suit our 2016 interests.

The logic I'm hearing around the Metroverse is that if we signed Muffy, no Cespedes. I imagine this leans more towards the truth than not.
