There's reasons to like Hence's and Matthews' development arcs. I don't think Roby will turn into anything and Hjerpe might turn into a low end starter or a reliever. Yeah, they traded Bader because of the jam... |

Giving up Carlson for a reliever who is a FA in 2025 is ****ing dumb as shit, but, his underlying metrics make it seem he hasn't as bad he's performed this year. His FIP is 2 runs lower than his ERA and his BABIP is insanely high.

Shawn Armstrong is one of the worst relievers in the game. And Carlson will be at least a 3 WAR player for TB next season. Bank it. |

And Pham hits a grand slam in his first game back.

Big series coming up at Wrigley. I have tickets to the Saturday game but may try to go to another one.

Not a silver lining to be found. The only surprise is that an organization like the Rays hasn't DFAd him already. Compare Armstrongs statcast page to Gallegos - Gallegos has been better. Gio's xERA was a full run better. xBA is 35 points better. Whiff rate is better, barrel and hard hit rates are better. groundball rate is better. Gio's total pitching run value is better. Gio, under the hood, has been CLEARLY better than Armstrong and we DFA'd him only so we can acquire a shittier version of him. There's really no justifying this deal. Armstrong is trash and there's nothing to suggest he ever won't be. And if your system doesn't have a half dozen guys that can outperform this scrub...well, it's just another reason Mozeliak should be fired. It's truly indicative of how bulletproof Mozeliak is. He KNOWS the Rays will get 3 WAR out of Carlson. He knows this is going to be another major L for him. And he just doesn't care - because DeWitt isn't going to hold him accountable for it. |

Pham so far has 6 RBIs in his first 2 games back with Stl. Small but fun sample size.
