Please explain the 25 in the box score. https://www.mlb.com/gameday/astros-...nal,lock_state=final,game_tab=box,game=567145

25 would seem to be a record for a nine-inning game.

That is an individual LOB total. It reflects the total LOB of an individual hitter and duplicates others who left the same runner on base, IE: IF Freedie Ks for the 2nd out with runners on 1st and 2nd, that's 2 LOB. Acuna hitting next also Ks leaving 2 on base and 3 rd out. That total is 4 LOB individually.. But, at the end of the inning only 2 are LOB. The official score is based on LOB at the end of an inning

So the Braves run a tight ship, yet they leak to Fat Ben? Who listens to this guy anymore? He is the guy who claimed Randy Ventura was a better prospect than Drew Waters for crying out loud...

Having said that, is anyone still holding out hope for a Haniger acquisition? I am just because there's little else to hope for at the moment.

Comparing a potential Haniger package to the Eaton package (Giolito, Lopez, Dunning...all RHP), a package would have to be something like:

Pache or Riley
plus
Wright or Anderson
plus
Wentz or Wilson

A steep price to be sure.

Are the Braves willing to give up that much talent? Are the injuries to Gohara, Soroka, Folty and Gaus making them hesitant to trade any MLB-ready pitching?

I'd easily do Riley/Anderson/Wentz for Haniger
 
Anyone know what's going on with CJ Alexander? He received an invitation to big league camp but it doesn't look like he's appeared in a game.

Saw on Twitter he was sent to minor league camp the other day. Definitely seemed odd considering he never got in a game.

If that package happened to net Haniger, signing Keuchel to a 3-4 year deal then makes a lot of sense. Donaldson's going to have to have a monster year to get someone to give him 3 years/$60 million next winter. You'd have Julio, Vizcaino, and O'Day off the books, so Keuchel wouldn't drastically affect the payroll and you could cover most of Haniger's arby payday with what's left from those three. Pache replaces Duvall next winter, and you can begin entertaining offers for Ender.

I still have a really tough time believing they'll make him available unless someone's willing to drastically overpay - while that's a steep price, the fact that many wouldn't hesitate to make a deal like that has to give you the feeling that that's not enough.

Everyone wants to trade Ender for some reason.

His next 3 years are 7.7, 8 and team option for 9 mil. Thats very team friendly for a 3 WAR player, and one whose dependable. Worse comes to worse, he could be the 4th outfielder if you upgraded in one of the other spots, and Pache developed, or Waters took the minors by storm.

Pass on Keuchel imo.
