The A's are starting Liam Hendriks again tomorrow. I don't mind doing the opener thing but I don't understand why our opener has to be the shittiest pitcher on the roster

Today's deGrom watch: 6 IP, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, ND, and for the second start in a row the only run support he got was one he drove in himself. e: also 25 straight starts allowing 3 runs or fewer which is a live ball record.

I still think about that "deGrom to DL with Stockholm Syndrome" post from when he said he wanted to stick with the Mets and have a sensible chuckle sometimes

Adam Frazier is definitely getting some help from the patron saint of Babip, but the home runs and doubles are real enough and he's really hitting the hell out of the ball. He's been much, much better in the field this year compared to last but that's not saying a whole lot. Not sure his production will last but he's a lot of fun to watch bat right now. https://twitter.com/Pirates/status/1036988967323877378

If the labor negotiations between MLB and the MLBPA are a knife fight, Meyer is the gun.

Holy poo poo, they actually hired a labor lawyer as their chief negotiator? Clark must be feeling heat from the executive committee.

Ke'Bryan Hayes is listed on Baseball America's hottest prospects this week. I think he's the first actually exciting infield prospect for the Bucs since Pedro Alvarez. He put up impressive hitting numbers at AA-Altoona this year and is apparently an incredible defensive third baseman. I'm curious to see how Kevin Kramer swings the bat, I think he got the call to the big leagues last night though I haven't seen official confirmation. He had troubling strikeout numbers but nice power & .856 OPS this year at AAA-Indianapolis. He mostly played second base but put in some time at shortstop as well...if he can field the position at all and his batting numbers can translate to the majors (doubtful) I'd rather see him there than Newman, who is bad.

I don't have a BA subscription but I did see a link to an article about him with a blurb about Josh James where he credited offseason surgery for his large uptick in velocity I guess the tendons healed a little too tight

FlamingLiberal posted:Padres are calling up Francisco Mejia That's exciting. I'm ready for new big name catchers. I think Elias Diaz could be an All Star next year tbh. He's swatting .286 /.337 / .453, with BABIP of .297 so I don't think it's a fluke.

You're right, Hamels was significantly better than Williams in the month of August, with more IP, a lower ERA, and more K's.

So it's on the wire that Ryan Howard retired from baseball and I have to confess I already thought that was the case. That year that he hit eleventy million dingers was pretty awesome, thanks for that Ryan, it was fun.

Paul Sporer @ Fangraphs has a deep dive up interrogating Trevor Williams's Unstoppable and Entirely Sustainable Cy Young-quality Second Halfsporer posted:At his best, he’s working the corners, going high-low with a solid four-pitch arsenal, and not giving in to batters, comfortable to issue a walk and take on the next battle instead of dropping a 91 mph meatball down the middle in a 3-ball count that could be sent 450 feet the other way. Let me be clear about one thing: I’m not here to cut down Williams’ success. He’s definitely riding hot and this run no doubt includes a large dose of unsustainable good fortune, but he is contributing to this success, too. The main reason I’ve been so fascinated by this run and wanted to do a deep-dive on it was because I wanted to see if I was missing anything(s). Alex Stumpf, an occasional Fangraphs contributor, put up a post on August 14th that basically says Williams is doing well because he's been exceptionally good at painting the corners and consistently hitting the very edges of the strike zone.

I was quite surprised to learn that both Fangraphs and Baseball Reference agree that his first 7 full years (where he got votes for MVP in 6 years and won ROY in the other) were worth around 20 WAR.

Anybody else get an MLB At-Bat notification just now with a description that reads something like "Runner at first. Batter walks. Runner called out at second. WHAT?" The video it links to, I didn't even catch what game it was but it appeared to be a completely routine walk with a runner on first going on the pitch, not called out, so what was that about?
