RandyMarsh Posted June 26 Posted June 26 (edited) From what I could gather on twitter it sounds like it's not an actual prison sentence but more of 2 yr probation with it turning into prison if he violates the terms. Either way it sounds like he got off incredibly easy legally wise for what he did but financially wise it wasn't so easy. His wrong doing ended up costing him 100s of millions of dollars from the MLB cause he most certainly isn't ever going to play here again. Edited June 26 by RandyMarsh Quote
tiger2022 Posted June 27 Posted June 27 (edited) What a dumb*ss. 11 years for $182 million. Hope sleeping with a 14 year old girl was worth it. This dude is Mel Tucker level of stupid; although still has a way to go for Aaron Hernandez level. Edited June 27 by tiger2022 Quote

tiger2022 Posted Tuesday at 08:13 AM Posted Tuesday at 08:13 AM AL Cy Young should be interesting. Brown, Fried, deGrom, Skubal, Bubic, and Crochet all with eras under 2.26. Four of those guys with whips under .95. Quote

With 77 games remaining he should have 15 starts so that’s possible although he’s going to have to get some run support and the bullpen will have to be almost flawless and not blow any leads. Quote
IdahoBert Posted Tuesday at 08:45 PM Posted Tuesday at 08:45 PM I thought I saw Jobe in the dugout Sunday. I didn’t think he would be with them. Maybe I hallucinated him the same way AI hallucinates “facts.“ Quote

Was always the benchmark for an ace when I was growing up in the 70’s. Now it’s rarified air. Winning 20 in the era of 5 starters is equivalent of something between 25 and 30 in the 4 starter era. McLain started 41 games to win 31 (75.6%) . JV started 34 to win 24 (70.6%). Skubal might get to 33 if he doesn't miss any but 31-32 is more likely. To get to 20 he'd need a ~60 winning %. To win 20 in the era of 40 starts meant your won half your starts, and that still tends to hold. 16 wins today is about the equivalent of 20 back in the day. The other big difference is that McLain completed 28 of his starts. JV had 4 CG and averaged 7 1/3 per start the year he won 24. If you are leaving at the end of 5 or 6 it's inevitable the pen is going blow a couple of your leads and/or you team takes the lead after you've left the game. Skubal is averaging 6 1/3 this season, so that's one more inning in each game when he is not the pitcher of record compared to JV in 2011. (2 more compared to McLain in 68) Edited Wednesday at 12:45 AM by gehringer_2 2 Quote
GalagaGuy Posted Wednesday at 12:43 AM Posted Wednesday at 12:43 AM Cubs just made all three of their outs on the bases. 1. Out at home trying to score on a wild pitch 2. Picked off first 3. Picked off first Quote
monkeytargets39 Posted Wednesday at 03:43 AM Posted Wednesday at 03:43 AM Trey Mancini opted out of his D-Backs minor league deal. Kinda interesting because he was hitting over .300 with a .900 OPS at AAA. I wouldn’t hate the idea of grabbing him as a Carpenter fall back option instead of still having Sweeney on the 26-man right now. Quote

Comes down to whether Mancini offers enough likely upgrade over Malloy, who is already on the 40 with a 900 OPS in AAA. At Toledo it's the LH side OF depth which is pretty thin. Baddoo is it and he is off the 40 and he's not doing all that much at AAA anyway - though he's got a nice walk rate going. Then again, even with Carpenter down we still have 4 LH bats in Det that can play OF. Quote
