  1. age limits and term limits are super fun to talk about, but something tells me you won't get much help passing it or proving that it's constitutional to do so. call it a hunch.
  2. and it's not just an either/or in the c spot situation. when he plays yainer at c, then we can play whomever we want at dh. when he plays yainer at dh, then maldonado has to catch, and it's never ideal to have two catchers hitting in your lineup. i know we're not bursting at the seams with great hitters, but yainer at c solves two problems. also he's really good at it.
  3. how many cat turds could we get for him? i would assume...not that many.
  4. this is what happens when yainer starts. he clearly can't keep the pitching staff from giving up 4 runs in the first. wait.
  5. straw 2.0? assuming chas is legit, meyers is blocked anyway.
  6. if you believe that list, he's #2 lol.
  7. yup. also let's speak english for a second. korey lee was the 32nd pick of the 1st round. he's basically a 2nd round or comp pick at best. he'll always be a 1st round pick, you can't take that away, but come on. and now he's 25 and behind a younger catcher with a better bat. he was never going to blossom here anyway, and until we find out that we turned down better arms for graveman, i am fine with this. in fact, let's stop and acknowledge the fact that he's only a "prospect" because he's not good enough to be in the majors. he's not a prospect. i would be much more nervous if we traded some 18-19 year old with a cuban name. this is a nothing-burger. you fucking crybabies really need tonight's game to start.
  8. korey lee has 5 homers this season. is he playing in the same league singleton is? and singleton has like 9 dongs since last wednesday? i'm all done with good defensive catchers, thanks. relievers are a mixed bag. have y'all learned nothing the past 6 years? it's guys like graveman and maton and stanek and montero that you put in the bag and see who can get outs. some of them find another gear in the playoffs, others regress. i'll take 10 of those guys if they're available.
  9. everything he did and said from his island garb to his f-f-f-f-fuck off speech was brilliant.
  10. graveman is a high leverage guy with closer experience. he could very well be pitching in the 7th or 8th in several important playoff games. he's not the top of the list, but he's up there. he'll influence more games than a 4th outfielder would.
  11. christ you guys could fuck up a wet dream. as far as i'm concerned, this just makes the myles straw deal seem even more like an ass-raping, since yainer allowed us to deal lee and plug a hole. there are a shit ton of young catchers out there - the prospect list is constantly full of them. a lot of them are already up and doing jack squat. we just had a good draft. onward.
  12. we just need a pool of available arms and then go with whomever is hot. you never know who's gonna be right in october.
  13. lynn is the guy you sign for cheap and let him eat innings during the season then trade or put on the il when shit gets real. if someone in the nl wants to trot lynn out as sp2 or sp3 against atlanta, best of luck.
  14. also lol teams are fighting over lance fucking lynn.
  15. because he doesn't like people telling him what to do. if someone is telling him what to do, that means he's not in charge. he likes being in charge. he doesn't have a strategy. he's zero moves ahead. he likes to "see what happens".
  16. he is team pissing me off on off days.
  17. i saw last week. the stuff with nadja and the doll gets real old to me. maybe i'm in the minority. i prefer laszlo and colin robinson with some nandor thrown in for hilarity. the doll didn't need to carry over into this season.
  18. best episode in a while. guess our uber is here.
