The Marlins backloaded the fuck out of those Reyes and Buehrle deals.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Jose Reyes ss
6 years/$106M (2012-17), plus 2018 option

6 years/$106M (2012-17), plus 2018 option
signed by Miami as a free agent 12/5/11
12:$10M, 13:$10M, 14:$16M, 15:$22M, 16:$22M, 17:$22M, 18:$22M club option ($4M buyout)

There's an outside chance he'll be paid market value for a win if he can stave off further decline and salary inflation continues. Being 32-34 years old during that timeframe doesn't make it likely though.

 

[j_rocca42]

It's not up, it's just going way, way up. He's getting something like $70 m over the next three years. It's going from being an overpay to being a disaster.

Oh God! $70m is insane.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Yeah, that's a very outside chance. Both fWAR and rWAR have him being about 3 wins this year, but I'm assuming there's a positional adjustment in there. His bat is still slightly above average, so he gives them good production for a shortstop, but his glove and arm are nearly useless now. He has zero range, and he can barely sidearm the ball across the diamond. If they can convince him to move over to second, he might retain a little of his value, but even then, it's a longshot.

awwwwww yeaaaahhhhh

Can you see Rogers them giving any kind of money for that? Reyes is about to get a raise, plus I think Buerhle's contract gets a little more expensive, too. Considering they didn't have room to move at the trading deadline, I doubt the offseason will be very interesting.

(Sorry for being super pessimistic right now: seeing them suck for the last few weeks can do that to you.)

Stroman, Sanchez, Hutchison will be getting paid peanuts so that helps

 

[ReignofSparrows]

Taylor has ridiculous plate discipline for his experience. When he bats you can count on him doing three things:

-swinging at strikes
-taking balls
-spitting on his gloves

I remain cautiously optimistic about Taylor!! I remember the last SS I had so much hope for

 

[Macattk15]

And so are the fucking Mariners.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Welp. Ryu has been sent to the DL after that injury during his last start.

[j_rocca42]

I stopped watching. Why did miller pinch hit for cano?

Foul ball off the inside of his foot. Hopefully nothing serious.

Let's hope so.

 

[matthewwhatever]

No! They need to cool off. I'm visiting Seattle at the end of September, and I want to be able to get good seats for cheap.

 

[JDeluis]

Welp. Ryu has been sent to the DL after that injury during his last start.

Lose a pitcher, get another one.

Rangers have traded RHP Justin Germano to the LA Dodgers for future considerations. He has been assigned from Round Rock to Albuquerque.

 

[ReignofSparrows]

Let's hope so.

McClendon said Cano should be fine and be back in there tomorrow. Fouled a ball of the instep of his foot.

McClendon pulled Cano just to be on the safe side.

[zroid]

dear lord

 

[Parch]

These blue jays never cease to amaze

I've been waiting for the pitching staff to get a dose of reality. Buerhle and Dickey are back to normal. Hutch got tired. Now the kid Stroman is struggling. The ace of the Blue Jay staff is now JA Happ? Help me Jeebus.

 

[jello44]

Marisnick has been on fire lately.

 

[Chris R]

Didn't see anything but the final two innings but nice showing from the Mariners today! Can't wait to watch Felix tomorrow and then on Sunday...

MARINERS BASEBALL ON NATIONAL TELEVISION!!!

 

[Fox318]

5-0

You know what just send all of the yanks down. Its clear they just want their checks and to hit the course for 18.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Holly making it interesting.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

HEY HEY HEY HEY

Spoiler

also thanks, Seattle!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Kemp with his pick off juking moves.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Man, do the Jays ever suck.

 

[Macattk15]

2.94 ERA. the Mariners have a 2.94 ERA. Max Scherzer has a 2.98 ERA


Just in case no one understands how good the M's pitching staff as a whole has been this season.

Felix vs. Price tomorrow. Should be a low scoring game.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Hunter Pence is playing Diablo III.

PC version?
and *sigh* at the Yankees. it's not like I'm actually mad at them, I knew they wouldn't go anywhere this year but with those contracts the next few years are going to suck.

 

[santeesioux]

Is this what it's like to like a good baseball team?

No he was doing local co-op on PS4 with a Blizzard dev.

 

[JDeluis]

Dodgers bullpen giving up the game again.

 

[brianjones]

bullpen is probably tired from the atlanta series

too many starters can barely go 6 innings

wow.. dagger

hope we don't have to play the brewers in the playoffs

 

[JDeluis]

And that's the end. Oh well.

 

[Meier]

Fucking bullpen.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Blow up this bullpen please.

 

[JDeluis]

Poor Grienke. This will be his 3rd straight loss?

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Great. We gonna lose by hit by pitch.... :/

 

[brianjones]

Poor Grienke. This will be his 3rd straight loss?

ND i think

dodgers were ahead when he left

Yah. Just read Jamey Wright was charged with the loss.

E: Jamey got lit up. With no Beard or Kenley tonight it was gonna be tough. Which it was

 

[Confrontation]

I really like Felix, but wouldn't mind see him blow up a couple of times so Kluber could possibly get that Cy Young.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Mark Appel went six inning, strikingout two and allowing one run for AA Corpus Cristi.


Enigma, you think the Braves non tender Kris Medlen?

 

[iori9999]

The Tigers are well under .500 after their 27-12 start.. It's about time they close the book on this team, fire Ausmus and go in another direction.. This team was flawed from the start and the Fister trade was what broke the last straw..

That Fister trade was Towers esque.

While Kris Bryant has an OPS of a Million in Triple A.

But seriously has he been pitching better lately?

That Fister trade was one of those trades that looked awful when it happened and looks even worse now.

Man Klubers curve is nasty. I think Neyer had an article about it and how rare of a pitch it is. Hitters are hitting like 1 something against it.

 

[Dominican Power]

It's a slider

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

It's a slider

I don't want to bore you with a lot of details, but it's an absolute fact that Kluber's breaking ball is of a rare variety. It's faster than most curveballs, it has more drop than most sliders, and it just flies off to the left, as opposed to breaking 12-to-6. The majority of curveballs break to the glove side, but Kluber's movement is extreme, and I went into the data trying to find a comparison.

Its considered a curve by most. But its neither really.
