  1. I haven't been watching very closely, but he has 5 K's in 4.2 IP? And the Giants are a high contact team. Even without that being the case, this dude just said this Arrieta is mediocre at best? You were very easy on him.
  2. i mean, did you read my posts? i wondered if we'd eventually be looking at somebody, because we're going to be in the playoffs, and it would make sense to load up as much as possible. of course we don't need anybody, and staying in house is the most reasonable option. but if they can find a nice corner outfielder for a decent price, then why not? but yeah, all i did was wonder if they'd be looking at a safer bet for an everyday player, since i already thought they might be looking at an upgrade for left field around the deadline. this is a conversation with the playoffs in mind when we want to roll out the most stacked lineup possible. Making moves for the playoffs is kind of a fool's errand
  3. Soler frankly can't really suck any worse than he has, and Javy doesn't need to be good at the plate because he's amazing on defense. so if soler ends up sucking like he does now, why wouldn't you see a point in trading for an outfielder? because we don't really need to spend assets acquiring a replacement for a guy who was playing pretty badly just because he's out for a month i could see your point if he were out for the season or something
  4. i doubt the AP knows anything we don't. they're just guessing off what they saw. if they knew anything, len and jd would say what they knew (which they just did)
  5. i horsefeathering love brisbee more and more every day
  6. that includes his contribution on defense. and on the bases. Be patient with me as I learn. So his fielding/baserunning is in the plus but his offense has been so bad that it still adds to a negative, or his defense/baserunning is also negative? his overall contribution has been 0.4 wins so far. that's a pace of under 2 wins (which would be a below average regular). that includes what he has contributed on defense, offense, and on the bases in the form of runs. he has been worth negative runs on offense. his defense, while very good, isn't enough to make him an above average player this year when he has been a .281 wOBA hitter (or 71 wRC+...100 is average). in fact, it's very impressive that he manages to even sniff "average regular" status with how putrid he has been offensively.
  7. hey goony finally got to see (and make fun of) one of julie dicaro's hot sports takes
  8. kicked in the nuts, wind knocked out of you, sometimes a sprained knee looks really bad stubbed toe literally like every injury KB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  9. i thought the bases were gonna clear off the bat...i was so confused
  10. sprained ankles do exactly that (this obviously isn't a sprained ankle...but you see injuries that aren't that serious cause immediate severe pain that then dissipates all the time)
  11. um what the hell just happened? how the horsefeathers didn't arrieta score on that?
  12. he should try relying on it less like an actual good pitcher would
  13. no, i'm talking overall..he's on pace for a sub-2 win season. [expletive] that. Dude has been a beast on defense and that [expletive] has helped make us awesome. that includes his contribution on defense. and on the bases.
  14. I know you are talking offense, but we've been amazing in part because of him too. no, i'm talking overall..he's on pace for a sub-2 win season.
  15. wtf...he was safe..you see the glove pop back when the ball actually hits the glove, after javy's foot hits.
  16. that's another sport where i'd imagine they are more cautious on the recovery
  17. at least we've been amazing with heyward being very bad and we have a solid cushion in the division
