No, wait! We had to give up Tucker Davidson and Je….oh, I see what you mean.

There is still a lot of risk. We owe him a lot of money over the next few years.
If you flipped Snit and Showalter I don't think Snit gets any better results with that roster. Our team is extremely talented. Snit is a good father figure for the boys. But still has big managerial weaknesses. Ozuna should have been moved up in the lineup weeks ago and Rosario down.
After this season it’s 2/$32. Not great but I wouldn’t call that “a lot” of risk.

Was looking at the remaining schedule and this is what we have left vs the division.
Mets - 7
Marlins - 6
Phillies - 9
Nationals - 9
IMO, the Mets and Marlins are running out of time to catch up with us with less head to head matches this season. The Phillies IMO are not out of it by any stretch of the imagination.

The Phillies just aren’t that good of a team though.

Considering Kenley just got 2 years 32m, I think Iggy at 2 years 32m is at worst market rate.

Snit’s pretty mid with lineup and bullpen decisions, but I think he’s been better this year. I especially think he’s done a great job utilizing TDA.

Wasn’t able to watch the game last night unfortunately. How did AJSS look? Sounded a bit uneven?

Relievers are volatile. He's already losing velocity. Sure he's been good for us in less than a full season. But to have picked up that entire contract with 3 1/2 years left on it certainly was a big risk. Especially since hes already 33.

Go back to the reaction on this board after we traded for him. Most couldn't figure out why we'd take on that entire contract.
It’s not the whole contract anymore. He’s been really good since coming here. Again, 2/$32 after this season is about running rate for relievers of his caliber. I don’t love it, but a 2/$32 contract is hardly very risky.

I’d rather owe Iggy 2-32m than Will Smith 3-39m.

But that's not my point. We owe him that next year regardless. We don't have the option to sign him to that this off season. While he's looking good it's easy to imagine he will be this good the entire contract. He could easily lose it. He's 33 and already lost two ticks on his velocity.

His velocity has been back the last handful of appearances. His contract is really not of money anymore in this era of baseball.

I partially watched but nothing special from my eye test. He struggled with the slider and lost command of fastball. His velo seem to go up and down. So might have been mechanical issues. I think a good team would have gotten to him

As much as they are pushing the narrative about how much progress he has made to be promoted as aggressively as he has been, you'd think that the pitches would look a lot better. Looking yesterday, it didn't seem like most of his pitches early had a lot of movement. And I agree with Matt, had it been a better hitting team, it would have been a different story.
