AJ Hinch may have given me my new signature.   Addressing fan reactions after Detroit lost two out of three to the Nationals....

All of you cliff divers...it is going to be OK.

Quote from: tower912 on July 09, 2025, 06:16:23 AMRookie phenoms are part of the texture of baseball.   Every year, some young man takes MLB by storm.  All you can do is enjoy it and hope they have staying power.

Nope. Being a fan shouldn't be joyful. It should be a daily grind because you are burdened by the past and one's own cynicism.

Going to be interesting to see how the Brewers manage his innings this year. I wonder if he will shift to the bullpen to be able to be used in the playoffs or just shut him down.

97.

They may do a Stasburg and shut him down for the playoffs, but with the depth of their pitching, I would hope they just skip a few of his turns.

What the Rays are doing with Rasmussen is cool too.  He's basically like a two inning opener for the foreseeable future, which will keep his innings down but also allow him to stay on his regular schedule.  They're pairing him with their best pitching prospect, with the plan that both will be available in the playoffs. If you figure that the second half is 10 weeks long, that would be about 12 turns through the rotation, and would add about 30 IP to Mis's current 89 and he should be okay for a playoff run.

One of the most enjoyable things about staying optimistic and joyful is how much it pisses off the cynical and joyless.

It is an endless push and pull with young arms in pennant races.  Strasburg, Wood, Prior, Verlander, Zumaya, the list goes on and on.  I like Burrow's reference to the Ray's.  Keep him on schedule, let him be the opener for a trip through the line up.

If they win a title it's what they are paid to do and no need to be too joyful.  Everything else is pain and suffering.

Going to be interesting to see what the White Sox get for Adrian Houser. Since he joined the team (May 20th), only two AL pitchers have a sub 2.00 ERA.

Seems like dad jokes are bleeding into the sacred MLB thread.

I might be picking up the bat phone to the mods if this persists.

Very little. He's been a FA several times and anyone could have had him.

Yermin Mercedes has a bat at Cooperstown. Go back to and read the 2021 thread and let me know if you see any similar tones.

A third of the game takes place after the 6th inning. Sometimes, the starter is still pitching. It is so rare that two guys with the initials MK did it last night.
