Kingery GO 5-3, Phiiiies finally lose a challenge on out call at 1st.
Need 1 more out to tie for 1st place.

You understand that being tied for first on June 10th means nothing, right?

Better than being in second place.

Being in 1st place after 162 is the goal. But after going down 3-0 in opening series makes this a message to the Phiiiies that we are in the game and not rolling over.

I mean, in the grand scheme, nothing means anything—so, yea.

Obviously, but I’m not celebrating or even exhaling due to being tied for first not even halfway through the season.

Okay.

Just thought we’d skip right to the end of the rabbit-hole, since you were obviously invested in abnegating ephemeral pleasures.

If Gausman is going to the pen I would guess that pretty much seals that he will be non-tendered or traded in the offseason. Unless he becomes a dominant closer I dont see them paying him 10+ million to be a setup man or long reliever next year.
As for Newk. I prefer to leave him in the pen. We need him more there and I like having him for games like this. If he can sustain some success this year in the pen pitching more than an inning at a time then maybe we can see about him starting next year.

Maybe, maybe not but I'm glad they are not 10 out and in the cellar. They have a long way to go but at least the summer will be fun a tick longer at the very least.

.237 with 8 homers for 23M sign of the year. Meantime we wouldn't give CK multiple years?

Yep—and it’s a smart move on both counts.

I don’t know—it depends on how the rest of the year goes, for Gausman as well as for the Braves’ coterie of young pitchers. But I could see them declining Teheran’s option and using that cash for one more season of Gausman, given his peripherals and past performance; depth is always a good problem to have.

Even with his rotten recent stretch, Donaldson’s still on pace for around 3.0 war, which is totally in-line with his salary for 2019; I think he ends up surpassing that by around 1.0 war, getting to 4.0, which will make him a solid value on the risk-negligible one-year compact.
In other words: you’re just objectively wrong here.
Kimbrel’s more debatable, since he’s better than the vast majority of relievers; but the vast majority of multi-year high-dollar relief deals end poorly for the teams that ink them, and Kimbrel’s being on the wrong side of thirty with decline signs hedges against his historical greatness heretofore.

You guys don't get it. Donaldson needs to hit 30 HRs drive in 90 for him to be worth his money. If he doesn't he sucks period. I don't need a new age stat to tell me a guy is not performing.
