MillvilleWx Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Burnes trade was a great addition. Looking at the peripherals, in his "off" year, Corbin still put up a solid 3.32 ERA and his H/9 was equal to his Cy Young year a few years ago at 6.6 H/9. His biggest outlier was the BB/9 which jumped from 1.8 -> 2.3 -> 3.1 from 2021 (CY) to 2023. That's a stark rise and I think some of it has to do with usage early in career and resorting back to his mechanics of old prior to 2021. I think the coaches can right the ship and get him back to where he needs to be. He decreases the walks, he'll be a major player for us in competing for the next few years, minimum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Corbin Burnes LFG. We’re going to be monsters this year. After a depressing week this is amazing news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he is a free agent after this year. But he is a true ace and a top 10 pitcher in baseball. I hope we can resign him, if not a one year rental still gives us a legit shot at a WS ring this year. Amazing trade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner, Holiday has him blocked for years to come. Ortiz is probably the happiest person involved in this trade lol. Sounds like he is going to get a ton of playing time at the MLB level this year with the brew crew. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Trading for guys in their walk year like Burnes and going after a WS title is what big boy franchises do. And if he walks after this year, which he probably will given Boras as his agent, given the light prospect haul sent for him, it is 100% the right thing to do. The first actual "we are going for it" move. Love it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t go that far. I have folks on my ignore list and EJ isn’t one of them. Pessimistic, maybe.

The first actual "we are going for it" move. Love it. Love the move. Back in 14 when they traded Eduardo Rodriguez for Andrew Miller I loved that move also. They had a great team in 14 and went for it all. They had a legit shot that year but ran into a red hot Royals team in the ALCS. How Long had it been since you could say the Os were 1 player away from having a legit chance to win it all. And the best thing about the trade is they didn't have to give up any of there top 5 prospects. Their Farm is still loaded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure someone already has a few pages typed up just in case. Watch us get one super-sized HECS or even a BECS sometime later this month, but not much else. You'll have people complaining that we didn't have wall-to-wall snow from Feb. 15-Mar. 15, blah-blah-blah. Or, alternatively, we score like 3 solid moderate events (4-8" or 6-12" variety) with some legit cold like Feb-Mar 2015, but it "wasn't enough for what should have been an epic pattern!"

stormtracker Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Ok, so the story about this guy...if there are any doubts everyone on staff will confirm my story 14 hours ago, WxUSAF said: So back in day, his name was Earthlight here. Good poster, knowledgeable dude, from the Philly forum. We liked him. So we put him on staff. So we started to notice that the Philly forum was getting a bit light. Eh, no big deal. Come to find out from a few anonymous PMs that this dude was using his position to poach Philly people from this board to his own...the entire time he was a moderator on staff here. Look, people are free to start a board and go wherever they please. That wasn't the issue. It was that he was a trusted staff member here and was actively poaching members and never resigned and was active in the mod forum. That was years ago and it's funny now and I'm sure he's a good guy...but back then we were all competitive and engaged in the stupid board wars of the early 2000 teens. It was a fierce pitched battle. Many died. A true widow maker. We've all signed a treaty of Versailles, so I'm sure that will never happen again. A war to end all wars. But all of us admins are over the entire thing and I wouldn't even care if he posted here. We just thought it was a shitty thing to do at the time. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
