Kind of charming that a stadium isn't plastered in signage in 2014 but I think I'd rather trade aesthetics for a better funded team. The idea that the Cubs don't make a lot of money is beyond laughable. Yeah they lose out on signage and parking but they make it up already in other ways - which is why they already spend a fuckton on players(but poorly). The rooftops were awesome and now one of the few truly unique things about the ballpark that wasn't "look how awful this is" is going away.

The rooftops were awesome when it was five guys on a roof with a cooler, now it's just a faceless business that I have no problem seeing ground into dust by a larger, cooler faceless business.

FanGraphs has an article on why Moustakas is so terrible this year, and the conclusion is he's hitting too many pitches out of the zone.quote:For the season, Moustakas has made contact on 82.4% of the pitches he’s swung at outside the strike zone — the fifth highest rate in MLB — while only making contact on 81.4% of the pitches he’s swung at inside the strike zone. Moustakas is the only player in MLB to post a higher contact rate on balls as opposed to strikes.

Moustakas has been worse this year than previous years but he has always had poo poo judgement at the plate so congrats to Fangraphs for finally realizing that I guess.

More generally, how good are the coaches/managers in minor league clubs, and how much work is done to help young players along? Is it like the practice squad in the NFL or just "here, stay with this empty-nest couple and come to the park on game days and here's your bus ticket for when we go to Winston-Salem"?

"Works great for livestock feeders or Beverage coolers" I know those have been cleaned with bleach and god knows what else, but  if you think I'd put any sort of thing I'd drink in one of those.

Everblight posted:How is teeing off on 23 year olds for a few weeks supposed to help him? Well he probably won't be teeing off on them.  You can't keep a guy around in MLB if he's got an option and is hitting as bad as Moustakas has been this year. The concern is for both him and the team.quote:More generally, how good are the coaches/managers in minor league clubs, and how much work is done to help young players along?

There's a variety but they are all generally hired for developmental work with players. It is nothing like being on the practice squad in the NFL, though.

Olivo was released by the Dodgers. A lot of people missed it, but I believe last year or in 2012 he actually left the Marlins and cleaned out his locker because he didn't get enough playing time. They had to release him later because he wouldn't come back.

Also crazy to think that he has only missed 13 games since he started playing full seasons in 2006 (before this year). 2009-2013 he only missed one game.

Not only is Prince Fielder having season-ending surgery, Jurickson Profar reinjured his shoulder, which will delay his eventual return to the Rangers by 8-12 weeks.

God. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_New_York_Mets_season quote:The 2009 Mets season will be remembered as a season marred by injuries. On August 25, it was announced that ace Johan Santana would undergo season-ending elbow surgery on his pitching elbow, and was added to the long list of injured players. Including Santana, the Mets had 20 players see time on the disabled list at some point during the 2009 season, including David Wright, John Maine, Jon Niese, Fernando Nieve, J. J. Putz, Billy Wagner, Brian Schneider, Carlos Delgado, Ángel Pagán, Gary Sheffield, Óliver Pérez, Ryan Church, Ramón Martínez, Jose Reyes, Alex Cora, Carlos Beltrán, and Fernando Martinez. Mets players spent more than 1,480 days in the disabled list in 2009, more than any other team in the majors. Moe_Rahn fucked around with this message at 23:07 on May 22, 2014 |

Danny Worth is the solution to the Tigers' bullpen. But I want to apologize for jinxing them, I said after the winning streak + the Zubaz, to a lot of my friends, that it was quite likely the Tigers have some bad luck with their SP and the bullpen is used too much, and they'll go on a losing streak and we'll see where that leaves them. So, my bad. e: They're also bringing up Knebel who is almost a lock to be their second best reliever on the team, and it won't be long before Suarez is brought up because Romine can't hit and can't play defense.

KNew posted:14 players currently on the DL, probably 15 tomorrow with Robertson I think Prince is the 17th this year. Robertson will likely be 18. It's still May, though. If there's one lesson 2014 is teaching us, it's that some pits have no bottom and things can always get worse. e: The longest stretch the Rangers have gone this season without putting a player on the DL is apparently 12 days. We've got that poo poo in the bag. TheIncredulousHulk fucked around with this message at 23:36 on May 22, 2014 |
