  1. How much do you really think they have today? Alcantara can't hit anything but fastballs and rarely shows the ability to elevate them when he gets em. Caissie is a platoon hitter striking out an ungodly % of time and not finding enough power to offset it. One has already fallen off top lists and the other is hanging by a thread. They should have traded Alcantara last year or this winter. Now they might as well stick with him. Every org that has scouted him knows he can't hit breaking balls. They're both just not that good.
  2. So it was over his dead body, eh
  3. 6 everyday hitters are hitting above average and they have the best defense in the league which plays behind a pitch-to-contact staff that does not give up dongs
  4. I feel like a decisive PCA is a tick late in his swing and it's causing the big contact issues to pop up again. I'm just not sure you're ever going to see the patience and the production together.
  5. Miller was too damn good in MLB last year to give up after 8 appearances. They need strike throwers and he had a minuscule 5% BB rate in the majors last year. Plus a decent HR rate. Pearson would give up twice the homer rate. Pearson would be an obvious choice for me.
  6. I really appreciate that Pomeranz has come in and thrown strikes. He has been excellent. First MLB action in 3 years and he has a .5 WHIP. Thats pretty crazy.
  7. He had 2 swinging strikes in 4 BF, 21 pitches. Not exactly a rebuttal.
  8. I am blown away that the Tigers have carried over the late momentum they built last year. Tied for the best record in baseball and lead the league in RD.
  9. Right now PCA has 9 dwar and no other player has 7. Platinum glove incoming. The offense can be league average and he is still a 6 or 7 win player. If he is 20% better youre looking at the best Cubs season since Sosa.
  10. Lose Luka and make a move like that. Yeah horsefeathers right.
  11. TIL the NFL plays games on Black Friday
  12. The offense going belly-up besides Swanson was not on my bingo card
  13. This offense went from the Red Wedding to the finale overnight
  14. This pen was never going to be great but I question Hottovy and co,'s ability to coax the best stuff out of their guys. Even the guys with velo aren't missing bats and they're walking the world. IDK maybe it's the strategists, the catchers, the pitchers, the stupid sport, all of the above. But I pretty much don't feel confident with 70% of the pitching staff.
  15. Can someone tell this hick that its not good enough just to throw strikes?
