I think I could do better as a in managing the players involved but I’d suck as a scout. All that said I believe we are winning 90+. Just like I told everyone last two years in May and June we were winning the division.

Paredes currently has more war than Tucker. We got 6 years of cam smith and 2 extra years of Paredes, plus the final 1 year of Wesneski after he takes 3 years to recover from TJ surgery.

Good news is when everyone in the bullpen is good and nasty leverage isn’t all that important. Tonight 4.2, 1 hit (ball that hit 2B and would have been an out) 0 runs, 2 BB’s 7 k’s. Easy peasy

As good a series win as we’ve had this year I think. That’s a good baseball team over there. Good pitching. Good defense. Athletic. Has an mvp level hitter in Witt. Run the bases well. They will be a bitch of an out this year imo. Best team in the division I think, regardless of current records.

Probably be back August of 28. Likely TJ surgery incoming.

Baseball is also stupid. Last time they had a guy on 2B they hit a ball that was a routine out until it hit 2B and turned into a double. We have a guy on 2B and Paredes hits one 100 mph right st their 3B. He doesn’t have to move. And then people can’t deal with “it’s sometimes just dumbass luck” and they invent a narrative around it.

If he does that every time out you will be begging them to dfa him after about 5 more starts.

I mean, ok? He’s not going to consistently get big league hitters out with gross stuff and no swing and miss to him. It should have been blubaugh or Ullola going tonight instead of left handed Bielak.

85 pitches 9 runners and 2 swing and missed in 4.1 innings. That was gross and I seat I don’t think some of yall understand what you are seeing when you watch a baseball game.

I’m not really angry. I still think this team is 90+ wins and ready to go into the AL playoffs as favorites (ish)

Until he goes on the injured list again in a week. but yeah, he has to be on the IL or 26 man all year or we lose him. I sort of suspect the injury this time around was bullshit and they used it to stash him for a while longer. Maybe I’m being paranoid.

No smith in the lineup so we can get Caratini and Dubon in there. Nice! now that they got rid of Scott we are a du on trade and Brandon Rodgers release away from Espada proofing this motherfuker.

I referred back with want because I was directly answering him- who said he thinks this might be what Trump wants. That’s the only reason I spoke about it in that sense. so far inflation is going down even 1.5 months after “liberation day”. Last quarter inflation was 1.5% and that is with shelter being dumbly higher than it should be. There’s no US legislation coming down the pipeline that’s going to be more involved in creating debt than we already have. Thats because, other than reconciliation there is no legislation that’s going to happen. I don’t think spending gets worked back much in reconciliation but they aren’t expanding spending in a major way. As far as “the tax cuts” go all they are doing is extending what we were already doing and taking a practical approach to tips (it’s not worth cost both financial and credibility wise) to try to collect that small amount of money from tipped employees. That’s small ball. We’ve been living under (basically) the tax regime for 7 years- reconciliation isn’t going to blow up receipts in that sense.

Maybe one or two of them. Trump wants interest rates lower yesterday. He’s a builder and a debtor. Those guys fundamentally are oriented to wanting low interest rates.

2 great Framber starts in a row. his first 8 games last year are almost an exact mirror image of his first 8 games this year. Then he ripped off really freaking awesome performances for the rest of the year. if that goes like last year and Hunter Brown stays really good, even if not completely dominant this team will win a shitload of games.

We talked about this on the pod last night. Offense after a good last 14 days has gotten back to an average ops+.

Freaking dude is awesome and irritating to play against. 9th imo.

Yep. In my opinion there isn't a below average hitter (with Yordan back) in that lineup (except maybe Meyers) nor a super easy out. There's not a ton of world beaters so Yordan has to be Yordan, but 1 freaking amazing hitter- 4 or 5 good hitters and 3 average hitters should score some runs.

It’s probably the best lineup they could field with whose available.
