    In addition to a much different competition level, Negro league seasons were only 50 games. This is an absolute travesty if they are going to treat these single season numbers for both leagues as the exact same. 50 game season vs. 162. That’s a huge difference that just can’t be ignored.

    I don’t understand why Negro league stats would impact MLB records. It was a completely different league. Why are they doing this?

    I like Nico and three years from now this could very well end up being a complete steal of a contact but that’s an awful lot of money to commit to a player with one season of solid work.

    Maybe I’m missing something but I’m only really seeing one person calling for AJ to be fired.

    If any teams have their eyes set on adding Lebron Sr. to their roster this off season then they sure as hell better be thinking about drafting Bronny.

    He can be the Alsace Assassin

    Only cops and bad acid ruined more Dead shows than being stuck behind Bill Walton. Fare thee well, Legend. May the four winds blow you safely home.

    Great win!

    Don’t waste your time.

    Even if he got his perfect outcome that inning, AJ left himself with only crap options to close but I guess that doesn’t really matter anymore.
  11. Hongbit
    He wasn’t in a normal close situation. He was in an AJ trying to get his perfect matchup situation

    Talk **** on’em all, Joe. You’ll never see a bigger trash home run celebration.

    As always, this race is so boring without any rain.

    This was never a this side is right and that side is wrong. As counter to your Jim Leyland example, Dusty Baker showed us in 2022 that defining roles and putting guys in their expected situation is also the way to go. They rolled to the title with a lethal combo of Neris, Abreu, Montero, Presley. Kept this same rotation when ahead and rolled past the Mariners, Yankees, and Phils.

    I am also of the opinion that Hinch overthinks too much with most aspects of the job. That’s just my personal bias towards him though.

    Holton

    FWIW, Holton’s splits against RH are excellent. I don’t see any reason why he shouldn’t normally settle into the 8th inning setup role going forward.

    Hinch has tried similar logic and it’s failed and cost us games at least twice this season. There’s no real right or wrong way. I am of the opinion that using the closer in closer situations will come out better more times than trying to play the matchups and putting reliever into a situation that he’s not normally accustomed to pitching in.

    I’m not a fan of closer by committee when you have a decent closer. I think Foley has earned that right based on how he’s pitched this year:
  21. Hongbit
    Glad that worked out! AJ’s Stanford guy bullpen moves were due to work out to a positive outcome.
  22. Hongbit
    I hate this idea. Let the closer close

    A little bit of perspective.

    He’s the Scottie to Ant’s Jordan.
  25. Hongbit
    Ant can’t keep passing the ball with the game on the line. He’s got to step up and take the shot.
