    I'm having the same internal debate but add a $74 train ride to it. I'm torn.

    Yep, regular season game.

    No horsefeathers. Didn't top 80 mph on anything ? That's insane.

    It really is pretty amazing that this team lost their supposed #2 starter for essentially the entire year, lost their MVP 3B for half the year and got about 75% of him when he played, went half the season without their closer and still managed 95 wins. Whereas the Brewers had nearly everything go exactly perfect and they miracled 95 wins.

    So my "he's still learning the offense theory" may be a good stance to have taken? I'll be the first to agree he's looked like garbage the last 2 weeks.

    Emergency Duke gam thread.

    They said 700 some days ago on the radio Week 16 2013 (horsefeathers Conte) (edit: well that was actually week 17 but still horsefeathers Conte) I was at that week 17 game and it was cold AF and the loss was soul crushing.

    Not to mention you'd then have to go find someone who is actually better than Joe and I'm not sure that's a likely thing either.

    Isn’t he still learning the offense? I would expect him to get more comfortable with reads and knowing exactly where guys are supposed to be as the season goes on. If we haven’t seen a difference by game 8, then yeah, I get the concerns.

    I think it's a symptom of raised expectations and having finally won it and knowing what it takes to do so. This team has been unbelievably resilient to injury, slumps, under performance, you name it. It's amazing they've got the record they do with all of that going on, but the doom and gloom comes from the fact that unless several guys get scorching hot on both the hitting and pitching end of things, this is a flawed team with little to no chance of winning the whole thing. I'm hoping against hope guys get healthy and hot, but the expectation of a flame out in the DS is where I'm at right now.

    Not-so-coincidentally: Carpenter during this 9-10 run: .772 OPS That's definitely a more apt correlation. He was carrying the entire offense with a few kick ins from others here and there and it made them look a lot better than they were. Martinez has gone ice cold as well.
  12. mul21
    that would mean he's been unhealthy for 2 years in a row, which wouldn't fill me with confidence either I think the personal life turmoil had a lot to do with last year's struggles. I'm certainly not counting on it, but I still see potential for a significant offensive improvement.
  13. mul21
    I keep hoping he’s hurt like Zo was last year and just needs the offseason to get healthy.

    Funny you should ask. [attachment=0]F2F52486-1E2C-4187-8AE6-88556882C6CF.jpeg[/attachment]

    You Derwood almost everything so there are no expectations other than for you to Derwood things.
  16. mul21
    He loses a few points because he's clearly hobbled in some way, but the bat toss was amazing and the cadillacing around the bases was a nice touch as well. That catcher needs a whoopin'.
  17. mul21
    If this dude is actually good, he's going to be fun to watch for a few years until he gets too ginormous.

    Javy is homering next inning. I feel it. :shock:

    Has Bryant crapped his pants from too much drinking lately?
  20. mul21
    That was some grade A trash talk. =D>
  21. mul21
    Any idea when this thing is supposed to get rolling?
  22. mul21
    Is it me or does Len sound a little like John Mulaney in the Javy home run call?
  23. mul21
    His wife isn't around I assume so someone has to take care of his needs.

    Living down here and seeing it on a daily basis, Matheny was like playing for Debbie Downer who also made you have a constricted butt hole. Him being lauded as this leader of men when he took over was a bunch of BS and he only got by as long as he did because he had guys on the team who did the dirty work for him. Once they were gone, he had no idea how to run things and I just think his ineptitude made everyone significantly worse that they really are. No doubt they're on a massive, unsustainable heater right now, but I think they're much closer to this (assuming their pitching stays reasonable healthy) than they are to the middling .500 team they've been the last couple years. And I hate it so much. These clowns down here are so damned annoying.

    You realize August has 31 days right?
