    im enjoying this bringing the old bad kyle back. this is such a false premise and you know it lol. what if he calls the timeout and a sniper shoots and kills caleb williams. not such a smart call now is it

    Obviously in a vacuum no. But by the time there was 25 seconds left it was obvious they were completely discombobulated. Your options are to ride it out or stop it with a to, call a sideline pass and worse case scenario attempt an unlikely field goal. Then you go to the presser and say obviously we wanted to have that timeout to set up The FG but time was ticking away and we weren’t close to getting the ball snapped so i made a decision. much better option than what happened. And that’s not mentioning him defending it all after the game lol

    im starting to wonder if the plan should be just to shotgun out all the resources on pitching, hope half of the additions stick, and ride that to 90 wins? there aren't a lot of obvious upgrades offensively out there, we're getting a full year of Paredes who yes, i did say sucks, but he's better than morel, and PCA, who i really think is gonna have a good 2025.

    platoon him with a lefty bat like i dunno, a hosmer? then we can trade busch for a reliever and call it an offseason

    I’d rather have a good extra OF than pass on him so we can spend money on another 500 ops catcher

    on the other hand, fernandes would have reacted like he'd been shot by a cannon ball if the situation was reversed so live by the sword, die by the sword

    we should be sending our advance scouts to scout him so we'll know how he'll pitch against us as a Dodger

    how did he do in tuesday night games on the road

    robert sucks and i can't believe we're wasting time talking about him. no plate discipline and can't stay healthy. No horsefeathers thank you. guys with that profile lose it in an offseason and fall immedialy off a cliff.

    Juan Soto is not signing with the cubs in a billion years.

    we have this conversation all the time and it's so overwrought. a good prospect carries some inherent value, but his real value is determined by either what production he provides you, or what someone is willing to give you for him. every single guy in the minors is, at the end of the day, measured in opportunity cost. can he help the team today? Might he in the future? Might we get something for him today in a trade in exchange for someone betting on his future? it's easy to go "we don't need all these OF prospects" or whatever, but if your options are call them up but they don't play, leave them in the minors, or trade them for less than you value them either now or potentially in the future, there's risk with every option. It's not "prospect hoarding" to leave a mid-tier OF prospect in AAA because you can't find a valid trade partner and he's not ready for the majors. It's value hoarding. And there's a risk that the prospect stagnates and loses all value and you get nothing out of him. But that's not inherently more risky than trading him for less than you value him just because he's blocked.
