This team wasn't going to play .900 baseball all season. No worries from me. If we take two out of three this weekend, I'm good.

    Edgy MD wrote: Well, they're close to 14, but I don't think you do need 10 guys to use two guys every game. The two-inning guys would be on a three-man rotation. The five-six-inning guys would be on a four-to-five man rotation. Basically what it is now, but the guys pitching the sixth and the seventh (Gsellman, Lugo, Sewald) would be pitching the first and the second. It's an idea that's not completely bananas. It could work if you've got the right arms. If you're giving those three guys 60 starts, that's 120-180 innings a year. It falls apart if your second starter each game is ineffective, but that happens in the regular setup too.

    Edgy MD wrote: What might be the next generation is to use what used to be the long reliever — two-three inning guy — first, starting him and then transitioning into the guys who used to be the starters: allowing your star workhorses to appear deeper in the more crucial parts of the game,allowing you to screw up the opposition's platoon lineups early in the game, andallowing you to use your best pitchers only if the secondary pitchers (the two-three-inning guys) haven't dug a hole first. The problem with that is that you literally need a 14-man staff for that, because you have to plan on two "starters" every game, more or less. And it requires you to come up with (theoretically) ten guys who can get major league hitters out, which not many teams seem to be able to do.

    He looked so good in that first start. Come on, Harv.

    Vic Sage wrote: i agree. I am hopeful, however, that the quick hook may be more about the weather conditions in the early part of the season, and that he'll let the starters go longer as things warm up. He may even go to a 6-man rotation when Vargas returns, and the extra rest would allow the starters to go deeper into a game, too. Also, i think he'll be shuttling relievers between Vegas and Queens throughout the season, so he'll always have fresh arms out there. This might all be wishful thinking; it's too soon to tell. But i'm not worried yet about sustainability. This is my mindset too. I'm okay with it because (a) it's early and ( we're fuckin' 13-4. I'm not ready to make a scene where there isn't one.

Canadians playing hockey especially since there are literally hundreds of miles of plains between places where they play. I was thinking about that too. High school and college athletes must log millions of bus miles every year.

    Anyone know if they're selling the patches yet? I feel like I should have purchased the KID one when it was available too.

    Dude's got a serious walk problem.

Lugo, Tanaka, and probably all kinds of position players have partial UCL tears (diagnosed as such or otherwise) and yet continue to play while dodging surgery. I think we all figured this was a long-term thing for Travis. Tough break.

    Ugh. I just ordered mine. Hopefully that's not still an issue.

    Ceetar wrote: Ceetar wrote: but he's perhaps not that good a framer. Just to get it out of the way early this year: If an umpire is calling balls and strikes based on the catcher framing a pitch he's not doing his job properly. The strike zone is where the ball crosses the plate not where the catcher's glove is or where it magically ends up. I now return you to the J T Realmuto discussion. and until we get robo-umps, the ability of a catcher to make an umpire do a bad job is still a valid value-add. Absolutely. And to just ignore it is silly.
  19. seawolf17
    I'd love Realmuto also, but he's coming off an injury of his own right now and hasn't played yet this season. But heck, if that keeps the price down, I say go for it.

    Also, six starting pitchers on the 1990 cover is kind of interesting, considering the year that, say, HoJo was coming off in 1989.
  22. seawolf17
    1990 seems too busy. I like the simplicity of the 1989 design.

    Might as well keep this alive, even though I'm not *technically* a Seawolf any more. Majors: Tropeano (Angels): Makes his 2018 debut tonight against KC. Struck out 7 in 3 2/3 innings in AAA last week. Koehler (Dodgers): On the 60 for now; should be back over the summer some time. Minors: Jankowski (AAA San Diego): 7-25 with 10 K and *zero* walks in six games. Gotta start getting on base if he's going to get the call. Cantwell (AA Toronto): .154/.353/.154 in four games, splitting time behind the plate. Krause (AA Pittsburgh): Walked in his only AB in Altoona so far. Not sure why he's not playing more. Zamora (AA Mets): First outing: 1 2/3 IP, 2 ER. Second outing: 2 IP, 4 ER. Yikes. Honahan (R MFYs): Not sure where he'll be. Indy: Tissenbaum (Quebec, Can-Am): Not sure if he's playing this season or not. Campbell (Wichita, American Assoc): Signed for 2018; season starts next month. Parenty (Schaumburg, Frontier): Signed for 2018; season starts next month.

But spending the entire season *four years later* with Staten Island in the NY-Penn League doesn't indicate much promise. Agree. I don't know what the impetus for this deal would be from either side.
