[Official] Reds @ Astros

You are right that all seasons count the same for AAV in the CBT, but no way Hunter gets $25M per year in arbitration.

He will get something between $25M - $40M total for all 3 years.

If you are extending an extension offer based on him getting $25M per season in arbitration, you are overpaying $35-50M before negotiations even start.

That's a terrible value for the Astros. Offer him what you expect him to make across 3 arbitration seasons + $30-35M per FA season.

 

How in the world has Tayler Scott been on 7 teams since 2019...?

 

you gave up 2 hits to Joe Connor. JOE CONNOR....................

a career journeyman.

i guess there's a reliever punching bag every year for the astros.

 

Rodgers striking out with a runner on 3rd and less than 3 outs is really pissing me off.

Back to back games.

 

he didn't even swing his damn bat.

just stared at the strike. smh

 

We can still win The Silver Boot !

 

can't come through with 2 outs anymore.

 

Six runs and we win this. Let's do it.

 

Astros ran out of steam. Cant blame it on the offense this game.

 

Is it that different than what we did for Yordan? Or Bregman?

 

Yes.

Alex got a $10M signing bonus.
Then $11M each of 2020-2022 ( $33M for 3 arb yrs) and $28.5M for each of the 2 FA bought out.

Yordan got a $5M signing bonus.
Then $7M, $10M, $15M ($32M total for 3 arb seasons) then $26M each for his 3 FA seasons bought out.

 

Brendan rodgers is such a swing happy dude. swings at balls but stare at strikes.

How were you a top 5 pick?

 

can't wait to see more of Rodgers and Dubon now that altuve is dealing with hamstring tightness.

 

Oops

 

Our run-diff didn't suffer too much, so at least there's that.

Glad the offense didn't just roll over.

Lance's new role might be a multi-inning guy in the bullpen -- but even then, his control is an issue.

 

This tweet didn’t age well…

 

Alex got 5/100 and avoided arbitration. (not really interested in how they broke it up. Not sure why that matters)
so 6/150 for a dominant ace, a few years later seems in line. He is overpaid in his arb years and underpaid in his first 3 FA years.

 

Keep it classy sports fans

 

We truly have some dumb fans.

...but it also makes me wonder if it will get worse if sports gambling increases.
