A- TOLBERT AND COPES WERE TALKING ABOUT WHETHER 2002 WS LOSS VS. ANGELS STILL HURTS—— OF COURSE IT DOES….. ALL TEAM LOSSES IN THE FINAL ROUND HURT FOREVER…..
B- THE VEDUCCI EFFECT—— HARRISON AND HICKS ARE ALREADY CLOSE…..
Tom Verducci put out his annual column warning about a specific type of player: A young pitcher (25 or younger) who saw a significant increase in his workload in the previous season over the season before that (defined as an increase of at least 30 innings, including postseason and minor-league work). Verducci claims that this sort of pitcher is in danger of either a significant injury and/or a performance decline
HARRISON (22) : 77.1 IP THIS SEASON MOST IN A PRO SEASON: 113 (2022) , 101 LAST SEASON VERDUCCI RULE: 101 FROM LAST SEAOSN WOULD BE 131 IP - OR 143 FROM IGHEST IP SEASON. HE’S AT ABOUT 50% OF THAT.
HICKS (27) PITCHED THIS SEASON: 71.2 MOST PRO INNINGS PITCHED: 77 I[ 2018, LAST SEASON 65.2 ) VERDUCCI RULE: 30 IP INCREASE WOULD BE 95.2 IP THIS SEASON OR 107 FROM PREVIOUS HIGH. NOT HAPPENING. HICKS WOULD BE AT 66% OF THE EFFECT. HE’S ONLY 6 IP AWAY FROM CAREER HIGH IN 2018.

ESPN -= “WHAT EACH TEAM MUST DO BEFORE THE DEADLINE” UNDER “NOT OUT OF IT …YET”

Win average: 79.1 (Last: 77.6, 18th)
In the playoffs: 21.2% (Last: 16.9%)
Champions: 0.2% (Last 0.1%)
What they need to do before the deadline: Some of it has been good. Logan Webbhas been doing Logan Webb things. Matt Chapman has been a free agent hit. Heliot Ramos has emerged as one of baseball's hottest players and might have finally turned the corner in his development. But the Giants' pitching has been mediocre at best and a big disappointment at worst. They need to get Blake Snell back, and when he returns, they need it to turn out to be a good thing to have Blake Snell back, because the 9.51 ERA version of him wasn't working. Robbie Ray is nearing a return to the majors as well. You can still envision a rotation of Webb, Snell, Ray, Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison leading a second-half charge. That's the unit that must lead the way for Frisco. Then we can start puzzling over the bullpen.

A- TREVOR LAWRENCE GETS HIS DEAL —- I THINK BROCK IS BETTER …..
Lawrence has agreed to a five-year, $275 million extension with the Jaguars, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday, per sources, including $200 million in guaranteed money and $142 million fully guaranteed at signing.
WILL GET DEALS BEFORE BROCK:
-JORDAN LOVE
-TUA
-DAK
B- PFT: CARDINALS THINKS TEAMS WILL JUST CONCEDE THE 30-YARD LINE
Under the NFL’s new kickoff rule, returners will have a better chance to make big plays, and touchbacks will go to the 30-yard line. Which means some teams will simply decide to boot the ball through the end zone, rather than risk giving up a long return.
As the Cardinals worked on the new kickoff rules this offseason, General Manager Monti Ossenfort said they’re preparing for the possibility that touchbacks will become the norm and offenses will start from the 30 instead of the 25, where touchbacks after kickoffs previously placed the ball.
“I think it’s going to be interesting to see,” Ossenfort said. “I think different teams are going to approach it different ways. I think some are going to say, ‘Let’s go down there and try to cover it.’ And I think some are going to say, ‘Forget it, we’re going to give you the extra five.’ Which teams those are, I don’t know. Stay tuned. We’ll see. I’m as anxious to see that as you guys are.”
