Oh yeah, this outing was downright awful, but he was throwing 100 mph with the Dodgers right?

Am I imagining this or didn’t Leasure throw 100 MPH when he was in the Dodgers system.

With those trades and the current prospects we have inching closer they may be worse but it will be a hell of a lot more enjoyable to watch seeing these guys develop and progress.

Kopech deserves the criticism for sure but the boneheaded bunt situation and Pham completely whiffing a catchable ball certainly didn’t help the situation.

People need to be prepared of the real scenario where this team is worse in 2025, although with growth. Remember that it’s a very real possibility we go into next year without Crochet, Fedde, and Robert.

Oh I’m sorry “44%” of the time, is that better for you?

Maybe that’s why he’s struggling because Jake Burger sucks.

He’s gotta stop striking out 50% of the time before I start really getting excited.

I would need Holliday back for Flexen, but even then I have concerns about how overrated the Baltimore farm system is.

You can’t just eliminate an entire season to support your ridiculous comparison. It happened.

Cease is a career 3.88 ERA with 10+ K/9 I wish we had a rotation full of that meh

Fedde is going to bring back a very nice return. Not only is he having a great season, but he's under control for next season at $7,500,000 So not only is he producing like a front of the rotation pitcher, hes under contract for an absolute ridiculous price you would never be able to get otherwise. That equals a very nice return.

Cease has a 3.27 FIP and is striking out 11.5 per nine. He's also walking batters at a career best 2.8 per nine, also second best WHIP hes had since the 2022 season. He's a pretty good pitcher still.

Soroka was owed 3,000,000 this season and since were halfway done, prorated another team would be on the hook for like less than 1.5 million. He has a 2.96 ERA as a reliever with a 15.2 K/9! I wouldn't be surprised to see some smart team make that move.

Yeah I guess I missed Flexen

I agree, if there is a legit offer they should do it. There is nothing special about him.

As much as I want to see Robert and Crochet traded as the potential returns would be awesome, I don't think either of them get moved. I went with Fedde, Kopech, Brebbia, and a wildcard in Soroka since hes been much better as a reliever. Then for the hitters just DeJong and Pham.

There is not a team in MLB that would have signed Crochet to an extension this past offseason.

To be fair, im pretty sure shes terrible at the job as I have seen a ton of memes of her terrible calls.

Hopefully he gets right after the break.

Robert, Crochet, & Benintendi to Philly for Painter, Miller, Crawford, Caba, and Abel.

Professional teams concede all the time, you just want him to throw just because? There was no play.

Yeah agree on that for sure. I couldn’t see the others but I’ll go out on a limb and say any offer the Astros can make would suck as well.

Listen, if this team was even remotely competitive maybe I’d have a different tune, but this season has been over since 25 games in. Robert making an impossible throw just doesn’t even matter at this point. If he hit a grounder and didn’t run, that’s a different story. This, there was no chance whatsoever to throw that guy out.

That O’s trade would be great
