Was being squeezed out. Free agents after next year. 2 young outfield the other is O'Neil at 27. Then they might try Gorman out there and have Corey Dickerson on the roster.

That's the problem But no reasons to say I wish we would have just kept him. At least now we got a guy to crap on in thr minors thread.

Fire him

Well he was gone either way. This way at least you get something albeit crappy

Should have taken bregmann

Before everyone gets mad, 24 year Olds who struggle in aa usually turn out great

Not on their top 30

Don't we have enough low OPS guys already?

The problem with using bionominal in this account is that it can be used in flipping a coin. Right. So you have either heads or tails and that's it. So you can calculate what the probability of getting multiple heads (but probability is not odds. The odds don't change its still 50/50). In baseball there are 1 of 2 outcomes win or lose. But, there are 12 teams, i.e. coins. It also doens't take into effect other things that can impact the outcome. In a coin flip the only thing that's gonna change it is a wind which is random. baseball is a game of skill and has many more random factors. Those change those 50/50 factors in different ways. Using bionominal does help calculate probability, but not the odds or chance you will win a championship by appearing in the playoffs more times. The previous year in a game of skill has no baring on the current. Maybe one of those other coins is heavily weighted to win. Maybe you keep getting brushed by the wind, i.e. a random bounce. Bionominal doesn't work in this situation.

They are the same whether you have one or 10 at bats. What happened in he previous at bat doesn't impact the current one. The odds don't change. It remains 1/12 whether you have one or a decade worth of at bats. It's why if you flip a coin 10 times it might land on heads 10 times. 50/50 odds don't mean it will land on heads exactly five times and tails exactly five times. Same concept here if you have a 1/12 shot to win the championship, and make the playoffs 12 straight years. The math doesn't say you are guaranteed to win one. Yours odds are 1 in 12 every year and what happened the previous years makes it no more or no less likely you will that given year. Especially in something with as many variables as a game.

Not true at all. The odds are the same and what happen in previous or future years has no barring on the current playoffs. In baseball its 1 in 12 every year. And if you make it the next year its 1 in 12 again. it doesn't improve just because you made it multiple years. It's the same thinking that gets people to spend $100 on lotto tickets.

They aren't mutually exclusive ideas. That's why in the Soto talks you hear about mlb ready talent.

And? I don't care about summers of competitive baseball. Winning 90 and making the playoffs isn't the goal. If the brewers win the world series great then I'll try to replicate them and what they tell fans. Until then it's just talk.

Also billy beane. And remember when everybody makes fun of the Lions playoff appearance banners? You're cool with it. As long as they try hard it's cool whatever else happens.

And you completely happy with everything in the last 38 years? (Your hyperbole is silly. And we've been over this 100 times. You think just being .500 is great and thats enough. I play for titles. I was merely pointing out the guy praising the brewers has won exactly as much as our crap tacular organization. )

People here say yankees overpaid.

And when was the last time they won anything 83?

Ok, so I dropped a "that." My fault. Now, your turn. You explain your post. How is something final that could not be final?

In posts don't make sense. It's final. Next sentence, except not really the NFl could appeal.

Just say you don't like Matt shepherd. It was a lot of words for that. To say chip carry, who we all remember from game 163, is better is laughably stupid. There are a number here that are worse but you came in with a bias idea. The whole post is silly

You mean like Fulmer in 2015? Or Boyd in 17?

Cause most Rule 5 players are nothing. Maybe Badoo was just a flash in a pan on a blah team and now he's reventing back. They can play him, but i don't think not playing him is killing us. Did we once say the same thing about Reyes?

I'll preface this by saying I don't care if Al stays or goes. His trades have netted zero and the FAs all turned to pumpkins this year. Though nobody was complaining at the time But some in here is just unfair. Yes hes been here for seven years. But, for the first couple they were trying to win with the old group then he tore it down. It wasn't a tear down from day 1. So being like you said seven years to build is a bit unfair cause it wasn't like he started from day one. Then you talk about drafting and developing. if you say he has had seven years, he's really had six years of developing and drafting. Few players are phenominal in their first year. Al in theory has his first group hitting FA (six years in the big and that's only one year in the minors). Do you know a bunch of teams with 27 year old all stars all over the field who were developed at home? Then don't forget they lost a year to COVID, a very important year that set everything back. Again you can take or leave Al for all I care, but the ole Valentini he's had seven year argument doesn't take a full picture into consideration.

That's just silly. That does nothing to help us and just causes problems. It's jsut reacting out of emotions.

It's pretty rare overall, but Kris Bryant and Nelson Cruz both did it. So we got an all star on our hands.
