Being a closer is harder in this scenario because you don't which days you'll pitch. Plus warming up in the bullpen while having a spot in the batting order is very problematic.

If you want to lighten his load you use a 6 man rotation and/or keep him on a shorter pitch count.

The pirates doing rowdy dirty over 200k definitely will do them favors in free agency going forward

Dude is hitting .320+ with 56 homers and 37 doubles and playing second fiddle in total bases.

dbacks unfortunately are picking a bad time to go cold. the world doesn't need both the barves (sorry TJ) and mets (sorry McLovin) to make the post season.

It’s looking very unlikely that the Braves/Mets will play today or tomorrow because of the hurricane.

That means a possible Monday doubleheader before the postseason starts.

Nightmare scenario for MLB.

I also think teams should get no travel day after this nonsense 3 game series. Punish them and give the 1/2 seeds more of an advantage. They're waiting around too long to play as it is.

But if the Mets and Braves play a DH Monday Manfred should push their playoff series back a day and just lose the travel day if they end up playing a game 3 in the first round.

Better to lose a travel day after one hypothetical game which might not even happen than after a doubleheader.

If another team signs him and gives him 4 PAs would he still get the 200k and if so who has to pay? If it's prorated it would be hilarious if another team did this as a **** you to the Pirates.

oh wow i just googled the rowdy tellez thing because i had no idea what you were talking about

that's so incredibly stupid, i get how they want to move on and try out youth players, but make that decision at the beginning of the month when he's nowhere close to hitting the incentive or even if they really want to just let them play a single game, just pay him the bonus anyway through a buyout

you know with absolute certainty this is going to bite them hard in the ass the next few years in free agency - so monumentally stupid to handle it that way over what is essentially a rounding error on their payroll

not to mention - he's literally a fan favorite

Nutting probably doesn't give a **** about not getting Free Agents though.

A Monday Mets/Barves double header is awful for both teams obviously but could be pretty great for neutral fans if there's a postseason spot on the line. And it's baseball, so whoever would get into the wild card round would still have like a 40% shot or something.

Interleague series' to wrap up the regular season are ******ed.

Braves are ****ed. They're going to be rained out Thurs. Move the KC series to Houston. Everything went wrong for them this season, except for the George Costanza prediction, but that's too dark.

If you told me a team would only have 1 guy with 10 wins or more, and that guy only had 11 wins, and you told me that team would only have 2 guys that managed to pitch 100 innings, I would think you were talking about some last place team.

But that team is 93-64

James Paxton, with 89.1 innings pitched, is 3rd on the Dodgers.

Their top 4 guys in wins

Stone - 11
Glasnow - 9
Paxton - 8
Treinan 7

They only have 2 pitchers to even reach 100 strikeouts.

Saves? Team high is 18

Yet their team pitching is 7th out of 15 NL teams.
