  1. Bagent just put Walker on the hot seat
  2. Can't complain. They finally scored 5 runs again, Steele was really nasty, and the pen was leaky but held it together to get the job done. Badly needed W.
  3. Dude is pumping gas out there. He also made Candy look stupid.
  4. Hmm, guess we didn't care that we already had a runner ready to score. Just take the AB.
  5. Said it before but Wisdom's numbers have actually been insane since he returned from injury, He has a 150 BABIP or something but a 400 ISO and a managable K rate.
  6. I guess actually Amaya really sinks the ship and may be a significant reason he doesn't get many starts back there.
  7. We have absolutely no control over base stealing. We might catch a guy with a pickoff or two but the chances of throwing the runner out on a straight steal is really bad. Gomes has caught 12/49, Barnhart 7/37, and Amaya is 1/18 Freaking awful.
  8. He's a lot like Nico. A ready-made SS who can hang around league average offensively has plenty of value. I think he's close to his ceiling.
  9. Relievers are extremely volatile from season-to-season and are often terrible bets in Free Agency. I don't mind making moves at the TDL for them, but I am glad they don't spend big on them in the winter. The best organizations normally don't dip into those waters.
  10. Yeah if Taillon gets shelled again I don't see the offense responding with the way they've hit lately
  11. He seriously looks like a Soto type with that discipline + power
  12. Pretty sure you are educated enough not to reduce playing Major League Baseball to this.
  13. Ran out of gas with 2 out and none on in the 5th. Gave up 3 straight hits and got the hook.
  14. Very strong start for Wicks so far. I like that PCA is pushing his walk rate up at each level.
  15. Nelly was below average at Iowa this year. Give it some time. I wouldn't be surprised though if he's a 120 bat in his prime, but can he provide any defense?
  16. Can't believe my dad never told me about Ken Hubbs. What a tragedy. ROY at 20 and dead at 22. Dang. Like that would crush a young fan. I don't think I have ever heard anybody describe Kris Bryant as a bust. This is so far from the truth. This dude blazed through the minors, won ROY and put up an MVP worthy season in his first 3 seasons, one of which was culled by an organizational philosophy and may have cost them a 100 win season and division title. He won the MVP in his 2nd season, made the final assist to break the most daunting curse in sports history, and went on to make 4 All-Star games. I don't think he is a bust despite the fact that his prime was shorter than expected. Bust in that you expected a Hall of Famer? Or was that all tongue-in-cheek?
  17. It would be nice if that serves as an awakening for him. That was probably the shortest swing of his pro career. Let the pitcher's velo work against him.
  18. Omg if that doesn't get you horsefeathers out of your malaise nothing will! The signature win we've all been waiting for! Woooooooo
  19. Looking like the 5th straight game vs the worst teams in the league where they fail to score 4 runs. Just can't do anything at the plate tonight.
  20. We should have seen the gauntlet of David Peterson, Carlos Carrasco, Touki Toussaint, and Mike Clevenger coming
