    that's really not very far out of the baseline
  2. Rex Buckingham
    our starting pitchers deserve a much better lineup

    Gray throwing a lot of pitches here in the 2nd

    Always fun to see a bomb where the OF immediately knows he has no chance
  5. Rex Buckingham
    Little was great

    How many stolen bases have we given up where we have had absolutely no chance to get the runner?

    lol at this thread... we're winning and Taillon has pitched a pretty dang solid ballgame. Think he's coming out for the 6th?

    Rosario doesn't hit cheap ones

    a weak groundball with runners on base late in the game is worse than a K if there are less than 2 outs... making Madrigal even less valuable

    It's obviously way early, but I don't know why we wouldn't expect him to keep having success (though obviously not at this level). His early season numbers count the same as those he will have in the last 2 months, and he's already banked some really awesome performances
  13. Rex Buckingham
    He can and he has in AAA

    Hendricks isn't a 10 and 5 guy yet? Ship him out asap. I'm all for being romantic about guys as a tiebreaker, but Hendricks is quite obviously the worst starting pitcher we have used this year. I'm not pining for Dan Straily or Julio Teheran, but any/all of Wicks, Wesneski, Brown and Horton seem like clearly better options for this team, even considering you would likely have more than a few growing pains with Horton if he were to come up. But if Cade Horton is your 8th starter, that's a good thing. I also believe we have the prospect depth to make a move for a starter if we need one in July. Alcantara and Triantos in particular are a couple guys I see somewhat squeezed out of future roster spots but who should have value on the trade market

    I am looking forward to that stretch against weaker pitching as the weather warms up
  16. Rex Buckingham
    I'm guessing Nico's leg fell off
  17. Rex Buckingham
    Verlander
  18. Rex Buckingham
    I dont think he's worth pursuing. Just not producing and we've got too many of those bats in the lineup as is to spend real prospect capital hoping to have him recapture his power stroke

    It is wildly impressive, but its dimmed a bit by being able to buy the best team in the world. Don't get me wrong, I know Chelsea and ManU and others have still spent insane amounts of money too, they still have to buy the right players, and they still have to win the games, but its not like they developed this roster
  20. Rex Buckingham
    Zaidman is the worst... Taillon has thrown a lot of uncompetitive balls early
  21. Rex Buckingham
    I'll take him if we can send Hendricks the other way
  22. Rex Buckingham
    The scoreboard doesn't lie, but his overall performance wasn't awful. Lots of soft hits, but of course some truly terrible pitches too, especially the Triolo dong
  23. Rex Buckingham
    Kyle is a mop-up guy at the point... but generally speaking, he's also the most frequent reason we have needed a mop-up guy
  24. Rex Buckingham
    He's just saying he currently places more value (and thinks the org does too) on the in-game power Valdez is showing in rookie ball than on the Ks.
