  1. amusingly he tanked the season, by just letting Hendry's shitty ass holdovers like Vitters, Clevenger, DeWitt, Jackson, Dolis, Raley, Coleman, Wells, Maine embarrass themselves i will give Hendry some credit when we draft Gray or Appel though, how does that sound
  2. lol squandered those three have combined to be sub-replacement (per FG) for their careers in 778 PA i just squandered an empty yogurt container
  3. That's great. Meanwhile, we're 66-114 with his teams. Give him credit for any individual move you want, but the sum total isn't good enough. by the same absurd simple-minded logic, he could have taken over in Atlanta, just sat around masturbating in his office all day while allowing the stacked roster he inherited to win ballgames and he'd be doing a great job; that you keep obsessing over such a stupid point only serves to further damage your credibility Soto, Castro, Barney, Samardzija. That's four right there. We also had a decent amount of homegrown bullpen and infield depth, both of which Epstein squandered. It's not a coincidence that those are now two of the weakest parts of the team. Hendry's Samardzija: 5.30 BB/9 - 4.54 FIP, 4.84 xFIP (86% of his innings in relief, no less) Theo's Samardzija: 2.82 BB/9 - 3.24 FIP, 3.29 xFIP but if you want to give Theo's administration no credit and call the 2011 version of him a finished product, go ahead, it only further proves how unwilling you are to be nuanced about topics like this
  4. http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2013/4/19/4243352/marlins-offense-historically-bad-giancarlo-stanton
  5. i don't really see why any picks would change if we were to restart this thing with like 3 days left
  6. i don't have a direct line to Beinfest & Hill, but no, i don't believe any permutation of nine nondescript players will be enough to land Giancarlo Stanton
  7. By my count, 19 of the 25 men on the current active roster were either acquired or promoted to the roster by the Epstein/Hoyer regime. It's time they start getting the credit for what's happening. absolutely, i'm perfectly willing to give them credit for turning two of Hendry's wild relievers, one of whom was/is terribly injury-prone, into arguably the most valuable 1B asset in baseball, and a front-line starter, and expediting a necessary painful rebuilding process total home-grown, competent, MLB-ready assets Theo inherited for the lineup and starting rotation: 2 (well, 3 if we want to count Soto) looking at the Braves from last year, i counted 12 looking at the Cards from last year, i got to 12 too and stopped that's how you win consistently, and thankfully Theo understands that
  8. there aren't very many teams still undefeated, are there
  9. 3-0 on the strength of Michael Cuddyer & Lance Berkman; surely a recipe for sustained success and i changed the team name & creepy throbbing purple head
  10. Something you don't see everyday. http://i.imgur.com/3sp0t8B.jpg
  11. today's lineup C. Coghlan lf D. Solano 2b G. Stanton rf J. Mahoney 1b J. Ruggiano cf R. Brantly c N. Green ss C. Valaika 3b A. Sanabia p i'm baseball-obsessed and i've never heard of half those names
  12. and he's 20 [expletive] years old. if we're going to be bad, it'd be nice for a high draft pick to turn into a genuine superstar. Not gonna happen. Gray couldn't turn into a superstar?
  13. i bet his performance today is making MR feel Smyly (smiley) :D
  14. Coco Crisp is 2nd in baseball for hitter fWAR following him in order are Brandon Crawford, Todd Frazier, Jed Lowrie, Daniel Murphy
  15. Paul Pierce's inclusion there is puzzling "gets stabbed in the face and neck repeatedly, still lives"
  16. i'm starting to feel like our pythag might be better than previously predicted/exxpected, but we'll underperform ir a decent amount what does it all mean?? who knows!
  17. awesome Rizzo figuring out lefties a bit would be a fantastic development
