ZiPS says if you signed Judge now to an extension, 6/147 would be reasonable.
So that's quite close to Springer

The energy is great. I really doesn't matter much, but it's great.

Important question: how luxurious are all your accommodations?
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:13
My office is very comfortable, but ungodly messy at the moment.
Kevin Goldstein

My office is very comfortable, and I have some coffee in the fridge that I'll break out in a bit, so quite luxurious.

Why are field managers allowed to wear those hoodies and not regular uniform tops?
AvatarJon Becker

I'm quite comfortable on my couch right now, but no coffee for me!
Kevin Goldstein

Why do they wear unis at all? It's weird.
Hardest hit single of the year?

That ball was destroyed. Somebody get me an EV.

It would look so weird to see an NBA coach just wearing NBA kit or NFL coach

Only 95 exit velo, not very hard-hit
Camera angle fooled us all!
Kevin Goldstein

Man, that felt way harder than that. Maybe I'm just exciteable.

I'm so disappointed that Gallo suddenly stopped his run at the K record!

Lol walking out of the box there is great. Granted, in any other stadium that's a homer, but come on dude!! It's the first inning of a do-or-die baseball game!
Kevin Goldstein

I mean, if he ran hard it still would have been a single probably.
8:17
Poll on who you are rooting for is exactly 50/50 BOS/NYY. Good job, folks.

It'll be an interesting analytics test if Eovaldi gets stray Cy votes or not.
Kevin Goldstein

I wish the swing/no swing rule was a clearer one, but yeah, Gallo went.

Kinda cruel to have a kershaw commecial now.

How do we feel about the Senzatela extension?
Kevin Goldstein

Seemed reasonable.

Fine with me.
The problem with the Rockies is that I have zero faith they'll do stuff they need to compete otherwise.
AvatarJon Becker
8:19
Yeah, I know the $50.5M is jarring but that's a fine AAV for a mid-rotation or back-end starter, the issue is that they'll probably make him their SP2/3
AvatarDan Szymborski

There's now nobody in the organization who talks to me, but my read is that they still think that they're just some tinkering around the edges and a bullpen arm or two from returning to playoffs.
AvatarJon Becker

I will say they did a great job with Cron, and at the same time I don't think he'd have beaten it on the open-market as an older RHH 1B. Win-win
But yes, I think they may just run it back minus Story
Kevin Goldstein
8:20
I agree with that.

Which stream are you watching? ESPN or ESPN2
Kevin Goldstein

I got the deuce on. It's not really a debate.
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:21
Cron is just fine, but he doesn't make the Rockies good.
AvatarJon Becker
8:21
Right. It's great in a vacuum but as it did this year it doesn't matter a whole lot if they're not good.
And same, I'm watching ESPN2, which is always a treat

On a scale of 1-10, how stupid is the OPS+ graphic that says "MLB average: 100"?

Nothing wrong with trying to get everyone up to speed....
