Planning a wedding so I have less time in general for games. Recently got into Shredders - casual, don’t need to stop or start anything really, so helps when I could play for 10 minutes or 45. Also recently hopped back on the new Call of Duty just to prove I’ve still got it.

Of these five teams listed, here is their win total from the following season:

1963 NYM: 51 Wins

2004 DET: 72 Wins

2019 BAL: 54 Wins

2020 DET: 23 wins in a 58-game season, a win percentage of .397 which would extrapolate to roughly 64 wins over 162 games.

that if a team could guarantee better health without sacrificing effectiveness, every single club would be lining up to buy that solution. But is it truly attainable or sustainable, would be my question. I think that my most immediate change to help would be widening the strike zone.

I understand your point, but it ultimately boils down to effectiveness, right? I remember Tyler Glasnow on Chris Rose’s podcast talking about when he tried to take some off to locate better and his ERA was 9, said he wouldn’t change anything about his career despite the injuries. Like, I’m sure

Was in on Memphis -4.5 but wiped it and doubled down when Hard Rock’s boost gave -2.5 at -120. Didn’t think there was any way it’d be a sweat.

What’s the solution?

But they’re far from alone in how they develop pitchers, other than the fact that I’d argue they identify/develop pitchers better than most. It would be one thing if they were alone in the suffering of pitcher injuries, but they aren’t. Even if for trades, they’d be better off trading healthy ones.

Every single team wants their pitchers to be healthy, if they could wave a wand and eliminate them all they would. But teams also want to win. With the way TJ has advanced, injury avoidance isn’t even as much about longevity. Plenty of guys come back from TJ just fine and go on to have full careers

I mean, the Rays have every incentive to keep pitchers healthy. They aren’t immune to repercussions even if they aren’t signing them for a decade. They had a top 5 offense and top 3 rotation (at worst) in 2023 and it amounted to nothing because of pitcher injuries - and Wander - but mostly injuries.

“Say whatever you want about me, I don’t care…”

“I don’t care, I’m just saying…

It did, in fact waste my time, but gladly. Not sure if that should chalk up another point for outside or inside.

In a general sense, a Cuban sandwich or Italian sandwich/sub/hoagie. General experience may vary, but two high floor/high ceiling sandwiches that will almost always be a safe option anywhere.

You’re a real one that would be realer if you followed me.

Ultimately it makes no difference and will not impact me or make me think worse of BlueSky if you don’t. But it would be a real move.

This is the same way that John “Blue Moon” Odom - who signed with the A’s right around the time “Catfish” did - got his nickname, straight from the mind of Charlie O.
