Rosario to the Dodgers, what year is it?

Look at his FIP. It's a better estimate moving forward. Just the same way Blanco is regressing up to his FIP.
Look at this career FIP and his FIP this year.

I don't like the trade either, but I'm going to wait until the deadline ends before reacting one way or the other.
They aren't done.
If this is the best they can do for an innings eater I'm not getting my hopes up for any more "good" moves before the deadline

Love how Blum calls Skenes' sinker a "splinker"
Just fyi that's not a Blum thing. A couple guys throw it but Skenes "made it famous" I think.
I first remember it being made a thing when Duran emerged for the Twins, but I have seen a lot of people acting this year like Skenes invented it.
Good call.

Who's ready to stretch Scott out and tune him into a starter? He's got 3 legit pitches.
Would be fine with that experiment.
Don't love the move on the face of it (don't mind giving up Bloss but just not a Kikuchi fan), but going to defer to the guy that singed Tayler Scott. That signing has been nails.

But 2024 YK isn't the same guy his entire career. Pitch usage has changed (newish curve, more 4 seam than most season). He's gotten more spinny. And somehow his velo has ticked up just a hair.
This deal would have been fair if it were for Snell
Kaleb Ort is warming in the pen.

I don't like the trade as-is.
That doesn't mean I'm melting down and want Dana fired.

this might be the night...Tayler Scott's arm falls off
Has anyone seen Montero at the game tonight?
Well hope we (well most of us) are all wrong and Kikuchi can contribute at a high level these last few months. I'd be happy to be wrong, and it wouldn't be the first time it's happened

It sheds serious doubt on Dana's judgment
What a play by Pena AND Singleton!
Oh yea. The game
Nice play by Pena and big John

Then I guess we will just see. Maybe being in Houston helps. As I've said, I am willing to eat my words if I am wrong.

The Dodgers get a Ray (Amed Rosario) and give up a (former), Ray, DFA’ing lefty Ryan Yarbrough.

DFA is new
Do we have any clue what Dana's instructions from Crane were, if any, along with the budget room he was allowed, and what proposed deals he explored and/or turned down before settling on this one? What the price for Flaherty was? Whether getting an innings-eater for just Bloss was intended to preserve a bit of prospect capital for one more move?
I don't know any of that. That's the only reason I'm just waiting.

Unjustly
One move doesn't make or break a GM.
Remember Luhnow gave up Hader for Carlos Gomez and Mike Fiers.

Nope, but the better decision would be to do nothing
Yeah and how'd that work out **** that rat
Between Cabbage and Loperfido, that's a lot of strikeouts without a lot of extra base hits to go with it
Do we know who the other 2 prospects are yet?
are the Astros the only team to deal away a top 3 prospect?EastCoastAgNc said:Bloss was set to jump to No. 2 in the Astros system in @MLBPipeline’s midseason re-rank. https://t.co/4QekzfAaFr

Need Tucker back
I can imagine the very level-headed people on this thread tonight would be quite pleased if we rolled through the trade deadline with Brown, a fading Blanco, and two rookies with ERAs over 5 along with a bunch of hopes and dreams about JV, Garcia, and LMJ.
I don't necessarily want brown fired over this but I never wanted him hired to begin with.
He's a 30 year advanced scout which is basically all he's ever done which should tell you all you need to know about 30 other MLBs thoughts on his ability to run a baseball team. He's not an analytics guy and always shoots from the hip on "gut feel" more than advanced metrics. It was a bad fit and dumb hire and he's way in over his head and it shows.
I've yet to see the guy make one sharp/baseball savvy move we routinely saw from previous GMs. Rather just runs his trap about how we are definitely close to a deal with Tucker and other similar talk that never transpires

I hope you have to eat massive amounts of ****, if for no other reason that you keep repeating the same thing over and over.
Skenes at 40 pitches thru 3 innings
not bad (for the 'stros)
