    Bryant went from 3.3fWAR to 3.9fWAR after yesterday's game. He now trails only Trout, Donaldson,Altuve,Machado and Bogearts for most valuable position player. He is .1fWAR from being 2nd on that list and now on pace for 8.4fWAR this year.

    That inability to locate a fastball while relying on the slider to get strikes started sending me down Carlos Marmol memory lane.
  3. Tryptamine
    This bullpen is an absolute joke.
  4. Tryptamine
    Well Jake is completely broken.
  5. Tryptamine
    Good job Jake
  6. Tryptamine
    Another 5 inning outing from Jake incoming.
  7. Tryptamine
    I doubt that was the thought seeing as how Warren also sucks.
  8. Tryptamine
    Can we find one damn reliever outside of Rondon and Strop who can get people out?
  9. Tryptamine
    oh course that falls in for a hit after last inning

    horsefeathers this, just horsefeathers it.

    Well that was about the single most random dragon ball reference ever.

    The biggest issue for me is that he's not going deep in games anymore. 4 out of his last 11 starts have only gone 5IP and only once during that stretch has he exceeded 7IP. I'd also like to know why he's using his FB 12.5% more this year while reducing the usage of his cutter,curve and change. His velocity is down off a spike year and with the reduction of off speed pitches, I wonder if his arm isn't a little achy.

    I get the feeling this is going to be said often this summer. I wonder if Soler bulked up too early in life and couldn't call take backs like Russell did? He DID make his pro debut just a year younger than Russell made his ML debut. Hannemann hit his second HR of the evening too. That's maybe almost as exciting. I keep dreaming, perhaps irrationally, that one day he's going to put it all together and be the 15HR 35SB threat he shows very brief flashes of.

    So apparently in back to back days now our good friend Hawk Harrelson has called for someone to injure an opposing player. Yesterday after Frazier and Abreu were hit, he said something to the affect that Lawrie should hit it back at the reliever and clarified to mean hit him in the knee cap. Today after Abreu was hit again he said "someone has to go down" "and when I say go down I mean someone in a white uniform needs to get drilled" "Melky, take his kneecap off".

    http://www.todaysknuckleball.com/inside-baseball-with-jon-heyman/dream-trade-scenarios/ So ERod,Owens,Shaw and Kopech gets you Sonny gray, but Soler,Vogelbach and Candelario only gets you Vizcaino and the shadow of Ogando? Seems completely reasonable...

    I see no problem with trading McCutchen. Austin Meadows is a top 20 prospect and could fill into the OF in 2017. Use McCutchen to land a stud pitcher and 3B then in 2017 you have Cole/Liriano/Glasnow/Taillon/Cutch Trade C:Cervelli 1B:Bell 2B: Harrison SS:Kang 3B:Cutch Trade RF:Polanco CF:Meadows LF:Marte

    What a disappointment Warren is. There's just no way you can bring him into any close game.
  18. Tryptamine
    Almost got through a game without Bartman, so close.
  19. Tryptamine
    Richard is bringing me back to sobriety real quick. Stop harshing my dong buzz.
  20. Tryptamine
    2 for 32 now, can we please stop playing Montero?
  21. Tryptamine
    No GM in the world trades Schwarber for Miller , let alone Chapman.
  22. Tryptamine
    Where did it miss?
  23. Tryptamine
    Man, Lester looks absolutely miserable.
  24. Tryptamine
    Well done bullpen, well done.
  25. Tryptamine
    horsefeathers our trash bullpen
