Mets and Yanks in the same division would be absolutely insane. And it would throw gasoline on a sports rivalry that's had a little spark for awhile but has generally been pretty tame.

I'd rather try to land Correa if we're looking at taking on a "bad" contract. But JP Crawford is probably my top target at SS

Again, the problem is that Murphy really isn't good enough to DH. His value comes from being a great defender with an above average catcher bat. That's when you run into the issue we have now, where one of our best hitters (Drake) rides the bench for 30% of the season or more. Murphy's defense...

To be fair, ABS likely won't affect 90% of the bad calls. No one is gonna challenge a borderline call on a 1-1 count in the 2nd inning. Unless they go completely to robot umps, pitch framing will continue to be valuable.

My guy, I was razzing you because Nola got blew up. Again. After you had little tizzy earlier in the year because me and a couple other people said he was done. And he's clearly done. That's all it is. Calm down. We all have some bad takes.

Triggered? I think you might want to re-read those posts concerning Nola. Here, I'll help: You had a mini-meltdown because people pointed out he was in clear decline. The only person triggered in those posts was you.

I don't think this slump which is roughly 15 games, has changed people's opinion much. But if he continues to struggle and his OPS lies around .700 at the seasons end, you can bet that he won't be super appealing on the trade market with that contract.

No panties. I am more of a freeballer. But Nola is cooked.

Agreed. Now that we have the universal DH and interleague play, the AL and NL terminology have pretty much become irrelevant. I would prefer not having to make a West Coast trip multiple times a year. Stay about 2 weeks every season, play 4 teams. Fly back home and don't go back unless you make...

Maybe. But what I said is pretty much word for word what was reported.

That's terrible roster management. What that means is the Drake (the far superior hitter) will have to split time with Murphy. And as I said, Murphy really isn't a good enough hitter to DH half the games.

It's been addressed a bunch already. He was constantly out in front because he had to start his swing earlier to compensate for loading his hands.

He's pretty expensive as a backup catcher and he doesn't hit good enough to be a DH.

Hartman also has 40 steals this year. He's been crushing it for awhile now. He should be getting a lot more love than what he is getting.

This is a take...

By the way, as I predicted Sean Murphy would go on 2-36 streak or some BS like that and tank a lot of his trade value he had built up at the deadline. It appears I gave him too much credit. He's now 1-39 since the deadline. We might have gotten a king's ransom at the deadline. If he continues...

I have a new forum name suggestion. 2025: We're bad at both winning and losing.

He hasn't given up an earned run yet since his return.
