2023 Game Thread

Nardi/lefty wasn't the right move here, it was a right hander with Davis(R), Bae(L), Hedges(R), Hayes(R), and McCutchen(R) due up.

Bad bullpen usage. One of the rare missteps this year. But they can't score more than 1 room so it won't cost them a win.

I’d love to know our record against the Pirates over the last 5 or 6 seasons

10-16 since 2018 (includes a loss today)

10-15* pending outcome of today.

This fucking team drives me insane.

[lou]

Holy shit

[fish16]

Wait till the end of the game before counting losses

[fish16]

Cooper seems to be getting a little hotter. This would be a huge win

[fish16]

Enormous win. Especially against their ace. Their next 3 starters are very mediocre

[Namaste]

Wow that was insane! Stealing a win. Cooper has been great this week after being ass all season.

Braxton’s service time: 0.168

Braxton’s service time: 0.168

That has to be from before the year I think, no? I see it on fangraphs but the guy is over 206 innings for his career after todays game

Ya I’m actually not sure.

13K’s and no walks is sick.

Man I have gone over this so many times!

The Marlins were gangster as fuck and kept Braxton down in September 22 to keep him 4 days under a full service year (172). The 168 days are through 2022. Cabrera has this same number.

It’s intentional because they are service time gangsters. Garrett and Cabrera are going to be (absent a long option down):

24 - Minimum
25 - Super 2
26-28 Arbitration

They have these dudes 5 more years and it won’t get expensive until 26 or 27.

I was trying to put together a solid team of players currently in the system with moving on the older(+30) players. It...I dont think I succeeded.

C-Fortes
1B-Groshans
2B-Chisholm(L)
3B-Amaya
SS-Edwards(S)
LF-De La Cruz
CF-Mangum(S)
RF-Sanchez(L)
DH-Arraez(L)

C/UT-Hostetler, UT-Hampson, OF-Miller, OF-Burdick

SP-Alcantra, Rogers(LHP), Cabrera, Luzardo(LHP), Perez, Garrett(LHP)
RP-Hoeing, Bender, Puk(LHP), Nardi(LHP), Scott(LHP), Soriano, Maldonado

Dane Myers slash line in 45 PAs at AAA: .500/.556/.964.

If I were Kim I'd be very tempted to get him up here and just see if you can ride the wave.

If we’re including injured guys like Bender have to throw in Meyer and Eder at a minimum. Fulton is probably a step behind here. I’d swap McIntosh/Banfield and Jerar/McIntosh for Host and Miller too. And move some positions around:

C Fortes, Banfield/McIntosh
1B Arraez, Jerar/McIntosh
2B Edwards, Hampson
SS Amaya
3B Groshans
LF DLC
CF Jazz, Mangum
RF Sanchez, Burdick

SP Sandy, Eury, Cabrera, Meyer
SP Luzardo, Garrett, Rogers, Eder
RP Bender, Hoeing
RP Puk, Scott, Nardi

If we’re including the lower minor prospects, Cappe, Watson, Berry, Mack, and Mesa Jr probably replaces the entire bench names. Hat tip to Maldonado and Monteverde who just can’t best the numbers game here.
