The 2017 MLB Random Thoughts Thread

Yep..I've heard Andy Petite purposely didn't let his kids pitch till college to see if it was overuse at a young age that caused it and both his kids needed Tommy John anyway

I really don't think there's an answer here

On the one hand, I say you should ride your stars as hard as you can because they’re your best pitchers and the shelf life is only so long.

On the other hand, if your SP is statistically the same vs Hitters the 4th time through the order, then I probably don’t have a problem bringing in a reliever to pitch instead.

I mean look, if you’ve got Roger Clemens on the mound, I don’t give a shyt if he’s at 130 pitches in the 8th inning of a 1 run game. Ride it out until there’s real trouble. Now if you’ve got Mariano in the pen, fukk it. Take him out.

Granted everyone ain’t Clemens. And if we are talking about Rich Hill, he’s coming out even if it’s a shutout in the 7th. But context matters. That’s all.

That's a come-up for the Cards. Ozuna is REALLY good. What'd they give up?

haven't seen the return yet.
edit Sandy Alcantara

 

[FreshAIG]

Ozuna for Alcantara and 3 other lower minor leaguers is a great deal for us.

Marlins traded Stanton Gordon and Ozuna and didn't get one top 100 prospect back. Lthe best player they got is a future reliever(Alcantra)

Just because you’re a HOF player don’t make you a HOF minority owner



The Marlins are going to suck for a long time.

Really? I thought they would get a lot back for ozuna

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

Ozuna is one of my favorite hitters to watch. He always swings hard but very controlled and he looks like he has a lot of fun playing the game. Not a Cardinals fan but it's a good situation for him to end up in.

I feel bad for Yelich. I can't see him getting traded this year. Probably be there another year or two on one of the worst teams in the league then get traded for an underwhelming package. Did Ichiro retire? He might end up playing 100 games

Nope.

 

[FaTaL]

Nope.

Wtf, why weren't my Giants involved then

Pitching is not a natural motion. Our bodies are not designed to do that over and over again.

It's criminal what the Marlins are doing. Jeter should be led away in handcuffs. Manfred and the rest of MLB have blood on their hands too. They should just fold the franchise and pay back the city for the stadium.

Baseball is dead in Miami. I don't see how they can recover from this.

They pawned off two championship teams before. I don't see why this would be any worse
