  1. Maybe Bregman hits a dinger and goes out in style.
  2. Pressly might have this great postseason record, but none of us is surprised by today's disaster. All year he's been ordinary. I think even our guys could hit him.
  3. Maybe we rally and go on to win the World Series 4-0. But no matter how this season ends, we can't trot this same mess of a lineup out there next opening day. It's just a train wreck, as our scoring woes have reminded us all year. Didn't realize the injury to Gamel was going to tip us over the edge. We should have grabbed Yuli before KC did.
  4. Ugh. Pena still loves a 6-4-3 while hitting about as much as while fielding.
  5. Back when things were looking especially grim a couple months ago, I threw out 90 wins for this team — including the postseason — as "overachieving." Several times since then I've thought that prediction to be too low, but as of today I'd be thrilled to get there. If we do, we'll at least have given ourselves a chance to add to it. I remain hopeful.
  6. I hate losing, even in spring training. But with the way this game was going, I have to feel decent about it overall. Bats woke up and sustained a rally long enough for one swing to have produced a miracle win. Didn't happen, due to bad luck on that liner, but we finally showed a pulse. If we can't take the next two from a young team, that's just how it goes.
  7. The guy has pitched a great game. Obviously helps to be facing a pedestrian lineup, but he'd be giving a lot of good offenses trouble. We just need to scratch out what we can and hope for a late blast.
  8. Not enough real bats on this roster. But that's been known all year.
  9. Oakland thinks this is a small crowd.
  10. Obligatory: biggest game of the year!
  11. I don't even care if Hudson is great. Forget him. A lot of other guys are excellent receivers without being divas. I'm confident Sark can find one who's a great fit for our offense and culture.
  12. My Astros fandom and much of Rose's playing career overlapped. The guy could definitely hit...but that's all I know to say good about him. The very definition of a hot dog. (He made Willie Montanez seem like an introvert.) Rose would dive to make routine catches look hard and was just as much a showboater in the batter's box and on the basepaths. I'm thrilled he never made it to Cooperstown.
  13. Here is the Atlanta area he was beloved. The Hawks never got anywhere, but he was such a defensive stalwart in the paint. Entertaining contributor to the game without being a diva.
  14. Won basically by default, since Wiggy's still on the mend.
  15. Fair points. I'd have been fine with keeping the points. However, I also was fine with the confidence Sark showed in the offense. As poorly as we were playing, I never doubted we'd still win comfortably. I just assumed we'd get stronger as our depth kicked in against an inferior opponent on our field. That ultimately occurred, though not nearly as smoothly as we'd have all preferred. Just glad we don't have to ponder all that in the wake of a narrow Hermanesque loss.
  16. I didn't have as big a problem with taking those points off the board as I often do. MSU wasn't really moving the ball, and if we got 7 points after converting, they were pretty much done. Turned out they were done anyway.
  17. And letting one of their rushers tip a punt.
  18. What time is tackling practice Monday? And every day after?
  19. Good thing we've been able to rest our D more in this half, so they wouldn't be so gassed. 😡
