MLB has Faedo listed as the probable starter against Cole. Just last week Hinch stated that Faedo would transition to a middle innings reliever. Perhaps this is a planned bullpen game and Alex is first up. We’ll see.

Aka “tragic number”.

3 posts in a random early September game thread.  Yes, it has been a while since we were exciting in September.

I just saw the e next to team names the other day and didn't know what it was.  It was obviously something bad because only the Royals and Athletics had that designation.

Thank goodness we have the smartest manager in the league pulling the strings for this team.

Why is Cisnero still on this team?

What could go wrong with bringing Cisnero in?

[AZTigersfan]

When did we sign the kid from Cobra Kai?

[1776]

According to the resident manager, Faedo was heading to the pen and Wentz was going to stay in the rotation. So much for that idea.

He thinks so anyway.

Didnt realize Stanton had 400 bombs. Yeah he's been breaking down over the years but in the games he plays he still hits them at an elite rate so only being 33 I could see him maybe getting to 500.

If he doesnt its hard to see any player getting there in the next 10-15 years, maybe Manny Machado or Judge if he keeps hitting 50+ a year but both are far from sure things.

Yes, those types of records that used to assure HOF status are NO longer. ex 3000 hits, 500 HRs, 300 wins, etc...

Due to health and injuries, that are so much more common now - you may never see (possible rare exceptions) those milestone/numbers again (ex a player career starting from 2010+).

It may be more of a 10-15+ year career with a 'good' amount of games played, some nos. (ex HRs, career BA/OBO, WAR, etc.) along with MVP(s), CY Young award (s), WS and team successes, etc. - the criteria more than likely will 'have' to change.

If Mike Trout could stay on the field he might blow by it. Now I’m not sure he even gets to 400.

Bryce Harper might do it. He needs 200 and is only 30, and is capable of 40+ or even 50 for a couple good years.

He is signed through 2030.  He'll get to 400 the same way Cabrera got to 500  .

Stanton has a few seasons where his extra base hits are about the same number as his singles.

I'm not so sure Trout makes it intact all the way to then, but I suppose he could Miggy his way into the Hall of Fame, which he would make anyway even if he walked off the field for good today.

I do think he'll perform at All-Star level when he is on the field pretty much all the way to the end. It's just staying on the field that will be the issue.
