lol - no. -
Yeah, but we have a ton of trade assets to work with.
-
btw - I like Spencer Patton's stuff. I do wish he'd have more outings where he owns the zone.

Even though I'm really frustrated with how they are playing right now, I'm absolutely sold on this team. That's mainly because I don't have a raging case of recency bias. I'm able to sit back and look at the results of the season as a whole. Hell, the two articles I wrote for the front page today go through the players one by one and give me a lot of reason for my optimism. This group of position players is damn good. Maybe **maybe** Boston has a better group. But that's it. The pitchers have been a dumpster fire the past three weeks, yes. But that does not mean nearly as much as their track record before that. They are good pitchers, they are healthy, they will get it worked out. Except for Hammel. He's going to get worse and needs to be replaced. Rondon / Strop is fine. The rest of the pen needs upgrading, even if it is just moving some guys down a slot or two. There's just no reason to believe that things will always remain the way they are right now.

Seven games is still a big lead. If they lose tmw, it'll be 5.5 huh, weird. Fangraphs is showing me yesterday's standings on the drop down menu.
-
I'm perfectly comfortable with 4/5 of the rotation.
-
Oh, absolutely. There's a reason I turned the game off tonight. But I still believe this is the best team in baseball by a decent margin.
-
6.5 game lead and they're getting worse, not better. This was a team they had a 14 game lead on. You're already giving them a loss tomorrow, too?
-
lol On the one hand, you have a very limited imagination if you can't think of anything worse than a big lead at the break. On the other hand, you suffer from an amazing case of recency bias in assuming things will always be the way they are at this very moment. A big lead? A big lead was 10 games It wont be a big lead Seven games is still a big lead.
-
I've been the biggest optimist of them all. This team is a dumpster fire. The Bucs will catch us by August 1st. lol @ all three parts of that post.
-
okay, I think I'm done with tonight's game. I'm still not the slightest bit concerned about the team overall, though.
-
I'm not sure how it can be any worse. I mean there really doesn't seem to be any end in sight for this and it's likely they will come back from the break and continue the absolute terrible pitching. I guess if your searching for a bright spot at least we scored some runs tonight? lol On the one hand, you have a very limited imagination if you can't think of anything worse than a big lead at the break. On the other hand, you suffer from an amazing case of recency bias in assuming things will always be the way they are at this very moment.
-
Yeah, I don't like it.
-
Gee, terrible framing by Contreras there. Yes, that's sarcasm.
-
Jesus, people. I understand some negativity, but it isn't that bad.
-
I like it when we still get to listen to Len when we're subjected to Fox.
-
STOP WALKING PEOPLE
-
lol - that was the second inning when we didn't score out of five this game. We get at least two next inning with Bryant / Rizzo / et al.
-
He's not Barry Bonds. Especially this year. It is generally a poor idea to put hitters on base on purpose. Yeah, pitching to him wasn't the problem there, it was Warren missing by half a foot on the 1-2 pitch. yep

He also gave up five to a below average offense.
-
How do you miss your spot that badly to McCutcheon on a 1-2 count?
-
Taking over for Lester, indeed
-
Lester out already
-
So, they bring in velocity to bust him inside.
