Quote from: MU82 on June 23, 2025, 12:52:16 PMOh, I understand the rationale behind the deal for both sides. Just saying that if Raleigh happened to have waited until after this season, he'd have cashed in really big - not for the "pitiful" $105M!

Interesting debate as to how much more upside he would have gotten.  On the current deal, he's already the 3rd highest paid catcher in the league.  The only ones ahead of him are Realmuto and Salvador Perez who are both way more accomplished over a longer period of time.  Raleigh had a pretty good year last year but he's a high ceiling very low floor kind of hitter.  Strikes out a TON and his career average is .225.  If he's hitting 35+ HR a year with a bunch of RBIs, that can work, but if that dips at all its an ugly contract.  And those types of hitters don't really age well.

I'm just opining that if he had happened to have waited until after a 50 HR, 120 RBI year that will result in lots of MVP votes, he'd have gotten a bigger (perhaps much bigger) contract.

Of course, if he goes into a horrible second-half slump and/or gets hurt, he might have gotten less.

There was nothing "wrong" with him signing when he did or with the M's signing him when they did. Nobody could have forecast this kind of season.

Skubal got rocked early last night. I don't know if he was tipping pitches, the A's were stealing signs, or if there scouting report was that good, but they were all over Skubal early.

I honestly thought at the beginning of the year that there's no way this guy sticks as a starter. It's a long season but holy sh!t

The improvement on his control has been awesome and clearly a focus.  His K/9 and BB/9 have gradually dropped each season and at each promotion.  His K numbers were originally so gaudy, that he had plenty of room to tinker, and he's just killing it right now.

There were 7 shutouts in MLB yesterday. The record for one day, (set in 1972), is 8.

Genuinely surprised with the lack of Cubs Brewers banter here.  As close as the division is at the end of June, as many really good performances by Brewer pitching lately, no pimping PCA, no discussion of Counsell-out, a little disappointed in y'all.

Most Cubs fans can't spell or navigate the worldwide web, so not surprising really.

There was a nice article about this new Brewers pitcher in the WSJ a few days ago.  Misorowski?  96 mph slider?

He came up and his first 11 innings were no hit ball, and the other start he has made he out pitched one of the most hyped pitchers in a while, and today is the first time you've heard his name? That's baffling.

Cardinals are far more competitive so far than any of us thought when the season started.

More to come, I hope 😄😃

Of course I believe in birds.  Tremendous members of the animal community!  Stop attacking them and projecting.
