Hayes did not qualify for BA, OBP, SLG, OPS with only 95 PAs. Qualifiers must have 3.1 PAs for every game of season. So Hayes needed 186 PAs (60 x 3.1).

Moran had an okay season. If he'd kept it up for a full year he would have hit around 26 home runs.



Does the DH stay next year? I don't even know what the hell is going on anymore.

I will be very surprised if the DH is gone next year. I think MLB has long wanted to force it on the NL despite NL fans not wanting it. And I think NL owners want it to protect their pitcher investments but wouldn't admit it due to its lack of fan support. Now they have it and I don't think it goes away.



We'll be lucky if the overtime rule goes away. And if it stays I think they should no longer refer to it as extra innings, but rather "overtime." Because it is not an extra amount of what preceded it. It is a different game with a different rule. It's merely an overtime rule to try to quickly end the game.

Any word on Designated Pitchers, Managers, or GMs?

We could really use a designated GM!!!

Do a mea culpa.



BOB didn't mean it.



Give a $250,000 raise & bring Hungington back.



If you're "black", "gray"'s better!

On Mad Dog, Chris Russo mentioned some info he got from a friend who has been in on some of the discussions about the rules moving forward next season:



DH is up in the air but probably something that might go with the next CBA. It's likely to be a big bargaining chip.



7 inning DH's are out, they'll go back to the 9 inning affairs.



A good chance of the man on second in extra innings continues. This one is a big yuck for me, I can deal with 7 inning DH's and the DH more than this.



I can't remember if they mentioned the 3 batter minimum for relief pitcher. Still not sure about this one, but TBH, I really wanted to see some crazy ass manager bring in a reliever, and his opposing manager changes all of his batters, and makes the reliever walk the bases loaded, and bring in a new guy.

Moran was the only qualified Pirate to exceed the MLB average OPS of .740
