  1. I need to get my bitching into mid-season form for those days where the OF is Dubon, Meyers, and McCormick with Dubon leading off.
  2. Or you know, let him try to win the ROY and get you an extra draft pick, instead of shitting all over his chances with stupid service time manipulation.
  3. Yes, and Jose Abreu scored 2 runs in that game.
  4. 1st round playoff flameout incoming. At least there is progress. You can win with Thompson, Smith, Sengun, and Eason as your core. Need to dump Green for someone more consisent and most of the bench for real NBA rotational players.
  5. I think what makes a great coach in baseball is why Augie will likely be the best of all time, it wasn't about physical development as much as it was about mental development. Augie was a absolute master at getting his kids mentally prepared. Schlossnaggle is absolutely great at this as well. Earle has no fucking idea how to do it and it shows.
  6. We need to sign Verdugo and trade anyone except Smith for Robert.
  7. Golden's times today likely put him at the top of the WR board.
  8. Meyers in midseason form 5 Ks in 8 ST PAs.
  9. Cam Smith is going to spend very little time in the minors.
  10. Ort and Dubin do hurt. They had a 3.60 era in 70 IP between them. Would you rather Montero make the club?
  11. I think it's only available for 5 years after retirement for vested players, which Melton was. Vesting takes 3 years and he played 6, but he does get a pension as well as his earnings.
  12. Green getting destroyed by Edwards and the jag guard with 3 names, so much for that so called improved defense. Damn if this team had Edwards instead of Green. Really wish Stone had actually tried to improve the bench.
  13. Probably more likely a platoon in CF and RF between Meyers, McCormick, Gamel, and Trammel.
  14. If the Spurs decided to buy out Paul, I would love for the Rockets to try to add him. One of our biggest problems right now is PG play when Van Vleet is not on the court.
  15. Money doesn't print itself.
  16. He was never a good defensive 2B, it was just the best position on the field for him because he had a weak arm. He has had two seasons where his DRS was positive. The last 3 years; -15, -13, -13. For his career he has a -82 DRS.
  17. FG has the positional adjustments as: C +12.5 SS + 7.5 CF + 2.5 2B +2.5 3B +2.5 RF -7.5 LF -7.5 1B -12.5 DH -17.5 Basically that’s the adjustment they get for their offense based off their position.
  18. Based on the longevitiy of the DJs, this is excellent news.
  19. Yep. 1B and LF in that order require almost no skill to play. You catch the ball when it is thrown or hit to you. Now Walker is legitmately a bad-ass defensive 1B, but he's not a great athlete by any stretch of the imagination. The only reason LF is more difficult is because every park is different, whereas at 1B you have the same dimensions every game.
  20. Self to Texas would be just a horrible decision from Texas. It's clear the guy isn't the same since his heart attack. Trusting that 7' stiff should tell you all you need to know about where his decision making is right now.
  21. and hope the manager doesn't sit said rookie on the bench in favor of the worst offensive player in baseball.
  22. I agree, even though he's 2024 draftee, he should fly through the minors. They should try hard to get Paredes signed long term, so that way Williams can concetrate on RF. There is now great incetive to bring him up if he's ready early, because he wins ROY, you get draft pick compensation. We need to replace picks we lost to the "cheating" and horrible FA decisions.
  23. Because Altuve's best position moving forward is DH, but we have the best DH in baseball already. Altuve's range and arm make him almost unplayable at 2B, you can mitigate that somewhat by moving him to LF, especially in Daikin Park.
  24. Moving Altuve to LF is paving the way for Matthews to come up if he gets off to a hot start in AAA. I actually don't mind that lineup too much considering Dubon is an elite defensive 2B, and you replace move McCormick to CF and Gamel in RF. Meyers is at best a 5th OF, asking him to play everyday again is retarded. Hopefully Melton, gets off to a hot start as well.
