  1. Is this Tyson Miller the real deal? Could we have a proper pitching prospect on our hands?
  2. If only the ball had a picture of...oh, I can’t.
  3. In other news, something called a Burch Smith is pitching the game of his life.
  4. Huh, I know nothing about Robel Garcia. Is he a real prospect? I went on baseball-reference.com to look up his stats and there's this weird gap from 2013 to the present season. Seems too old to be considered a serious prospect, but he's raking at AA. I read something about him on a random site just a few days ago. I guess he was playing in Italy until recently. During Spring Training, MLB prospects played some sort of expo game vs. Team Italy. They liked what they saw from him with the bat and the glove, and inked him.
  5. Brach is the only reliever that I’d kinda-sorta trust with a single run lead in the later innings. So why’s he in now?
  6. Alright, let’s tack on another 4-5 runs so I can feel comfortable once the pen takes over.
  7. I will say this: if this particular window is coming to a close, there’s little denying that they made the most of it.
  8. Or maybe it’s time to put a fork in this new pitching coach. Every time we replace the pitching coach the pitching gets worse. Inexplicably railroading Bosio in favor of Maddon’s boy was the 1st mistake. Yeah, Bosio turned out to be a douchebag, but that was after the fact.
  9. Or maybe it’s time to put a fork in this new pitching coach.
  10. Apparently, they’re committed to the whole suck thing.
  11. I think the next 6 months would be best spent rewatching the 2016 season.
  12. Time to nuke this entire bullpen to the ground and start from scratch. I don’t care if we have to scower the farm, the indies, or put up an add at Office Max.
  13. There’s only one thing that can rectify things now: a grown man yelling at other grown men.
  14. Just out of curiosity, who do you dipshits have an mind as a replacement?
  15. When Bryce next reaches free agency, my Kindergartener will be heading off to college. Crazy.
  16. So it looks like it’s down to the Phillies and Giants. But here’s my thing: are either of those organizations currently strong enough that Bryce Harper makes them good enough to put them over the top? And are their pockets deep enough that they can build enough around him to put them there? Because this isn’t the NBA, where a single superstar can instantly reverse the fortunes of a mediocre team. But that’s just my 2 cents. Keep the change.
  17. How about Jose Iglesias? Because he’d be cheaper than Marwin and a quality defensive SS with a serviceable bat and doesn’t beat up his spouse.
  18. He’s Aaron Miles. We’ve just signed Aaron Miles.
  19. Though it’s entirely possibly that the White Sox are the front runners, it’s more likely that Scott Boras is using them to light a fire under the usual big spenders.
  20. Kind of odd. It’s not like the Jays are going to contend, so why not just let play him and hope he sparks some trade value?
