  1. Yainer got two more hits and smoked one to left field. He’s finally starting to swing the bat well. Dezenzo with a walk and a double. At the end of the day, finally, everyone in the box score had an ops that started with at least a 6, which is the first time you could say that all year I believe. We are getting there. Baby step by baby step.
  2. Chicago has to sweeten that. Pay his salary or something. Throw in a prospect.
  3. And with that game Jake’s ops is up to 755- 2nd on team behind Pena. What a world.
  4. One more inning and Hunter brown can bounce back and have a quality start and Espada can go ahead and have Taylor Scott come in and blow it.
  5. Jake! first career hit with 2 strikes for Jake.
  6. Why the fuck does cam smith only play every other day?
  7. No. Because both moves aren’t overreactions they are just doing something that needs to be done. The best day to do something that needs to be done is today.
  8. They have Mizzou. If they sweep them they will be fine as far as getting a regional bid. Alas.
  9. Brown was better more punch outs and era is basically dead balls on the same. That’s why his WAR was significantly higher. Whatever. Tie goes to the Yankee as you said.
  10. Anyone signing with the Angels is a clown and needs to be mocked and ridiculed forever.
  11. And they revised down again 68k jobs last 2 months. There were two options before as they did it for 2 solid years under Biden- incompetent or politically motivated. same shit every month with Trump so that leaves incompetent. But it’s absolutely a thing that’s been going on for a long ass time. The miss is always the same direction.
  12. Yeah. Job report could/should maybe move the market a little bit tomorrow one way or another. Wed closed above tech support and were ready to be off and running if today would have been flat, but instead MBS was down 20. Because it’s always worse when we are on the precipice of getting better. Fun stuff!
  13. Do you even Michael Bay you Philistine?
  14. What advantage would it be to rivals to try to merge the site? It’s not like there’s some level of explosive growth possible with this model- it’s a niche thing. If you have two of the most successful sites in each of the respective networks I don’t see any particular reason that they’d mess with that. That being said I’m sure he’s been told nothings going to change (which is always the message day 1 of an acquisition) until everything ultimately changes, sometimes gradually sometimes all at once. If I was rivals I wouldn’t mess with either site though. You saw what happened to Shaggy with the lawsuit- the message there is not exactly the same (they have paid writers we didn’t) but similar enough to argue not to change anything, and that is the community is the product.
  15. Quidditch is a co-ed sport even at the highest levels you muggle Philistine.
  16. I think (hope) that Wednesday loss in Seattle will be the worst loss of the season for us. Hopefully it ends up meaning nothing. The Astros offense is performing horrifically- with a sub 90 ops+ Guys that are capable of hitting with good track records in the bigs suck. We could have buried ourselves (like we did last year) with that horrific offensive start but instead we are a sweep of the white sox away from (probably) ending the week in first place in the division. It's an acceptable April even if it's not what we'd have hoped for out of spring training.
  17. Yep- you nailed it. Frustrating game to lose when we leave a village on the base paths and they get 5 unearned runs, 4 of them on a crawford box wall scraper that was coming straight down. Oh well, good series win against a pretty good team without any of our big boys pitching. Go sweep the White sox for a 5-1 week and we will probably be in 1st. Quasi successful big league debut for Blubaugh- he wasn't in over his head even if things didn't completely go his way on the scoreboard. Now, we get to watch LMJ throw his first pitch in 30 months against a AAAA team in Chicago.
  18. That was as disappointing as an inning can be where you actually score 2 runs...
  19. 4 IP, 5 hits, 1 walk, 6K's, 2 ER's. 2 of the hits came after he would have been out of the inning. That wasn't a bad start outside of the 7 runs.
  20. Yall are fucking nuts. First, all those runs were unearned. Second, that Homerun had a 9% hit rate and was the definition of a crawford box job. They've hit like 2 balls hard off him, he's thrown strikes more often than not and has swing and misses. The bottom line on runs on the board sucks but there's nothing about this that makes him look like he's in over his head or doesn't know what he's doing up here. Relax and give the kid a chance.
  21. Cam has a really good approach/eye at the plate man. That's not like a guy whose played 30 games above A ball at all.
  22. Shit- I just saw the LF as the position, thought it was for that- didn't realize they just had him listed that way. Best 2b numbers in half a decade this year is kinda funny.
  23. Agreed. I beat on that drum all spring online and on my pod. People will remeber the embarrassing shit or the misplays and ignore the fact that as a guy who is athletic he’s still getting to balls many LF don’t, which is more important in the grand scheme of things. I need to see his OPS plus at 120 to not have a ton of dread about the rest of that contract though.
  24. And the offense should be above average. For context- last year the offense finished with an ops+ of 110, which was I think top 5 in baseball offensively. WE replaced Bregman's OPS+ of 116 with Paredes who has a career OPS+ of 113. And he's tailor made for Daikan park. We replaced Abreu and Singleton's roughly 80 combined ops+ for the year with Walker- who has a career OPS+ of 113 We replaced 80 games of Tucker with his OPS+ of 180, and 80 Games of mostly crap in RF (Cabbage- 67, Gamel, 113, Dezenzo, 83, Heyward 111, Leon, -29)- call it 135 or 140 out of the position, with Cam Smith- who I would project to have roughly a 110 OPS plus. Everyone else is the same player. Pena and Diaz should be improving in their career points, Yordan & Meyers and Chas should be about the same, Altuve should be in decline. Netted altogether we should be even at 3B, much better at 1b, decently worse at RF from the aggregate, netting out to about the same level of offense, which was top 5 ish in ops+ and top 10 in runs scored. If that expected offense shows up whoo boy. That's the hope man. I don't start putting a lot of stock in much of anything about what a team is until then. Yordan and Yainer are on the clock for me.
