  1. Thought you weren't gonna come
  2. I wouldve attached Wicks to rid his entire salary
  3. Makes you wonder if they are holding him out in case of a trade
  4. Some of y'all speak of Mervis as if he's a 35 year old journeyman. He barely has 1000 pro PAs. We do not know what he is yet.
  5. They should have just freakin signed him as he languished on the market. Just get him to dial in the control again and you should be golden. He has a career high chase rate and has allowed a career low contact rate, so I think the stuff is clearly still there. Just too many walks.
  6. No more get-me-over-fastballs, Meat
  7. If he can give us his career line that would be great. He would probably hit 20 HR a year into that short LCF area lol
  8. We got Effross back! Note that Effross was a rookie at 27 and toiled at like 12 milb stops before he broke through.
  9. I also think it's good for some of these guys to taste winning and have management back them instead of ditching a couple of the biggest reasons they have won this year. If they end up 81-81 it's still a significant step for the organization, and they have a bunch of exciting prospects that should raise that floor even higher over the next couple years. Now let's go prove we can beat the horsefeathers Reds doe.
  10. The team is in the top half in damn near every relevant stat. wRC+, position player war, base running, defense, both starter and reliever ERA, both starter and reliever xFIP, a huge disparity in runs scored vs allowed. That's not a contender? They've scored more runs than the Orioles and the Astros, they've allowed less than the Rangers and the Dodgers, they have had winning months in 3/4. They've been really good. Unfortunately they couldn't avoid the annual super slump in one of those months and they're behind the 8 ball because of it. You guys base contention off of whether they can beat the Braves and stuff and that's ridiculous; stranger things have occurred in MLB history. The juggernaut Braves lost to the WC winner last year, for starters.
  11. Yeah it's right. They really horsefeathers the bed against the Phillies, Angels, and the Marlins. They should've won a few of those, would've been closer to a respectable win%
  12. 5 of Seiya's 8 HR came in a 9 day span between 5/14-5/23. Just an absolutely abysmal season at the plate.
  13. If all they give up is crap like they did today, oh wells.
  14. Nico has passed his season line and Madrigal is hot on his heels. That's just so hard to digest. The man needs to make major adjustments in his approach. Be more aggressive on first pitches and get better at identifying meatballs, please
  15. Quite fortunate for Assad to throw 50% strikes but unscathed.
  16. Enough with the horsefeathers 2 out walks man damn
  17. This is the harshest fall from grace I think I have ever seen.
  18. They should be able to swing more R5 guys into those relievers. I'm feeling really good about Hoyer rn. He understands he can't go too far but he also can't stand still. This is a really good move.
  19. Unless they move some money I doubt it. I could actually see them kick that can down to the deadline next year too, if they can keep using roster flotsam to get 120 bats at the deadline.
  20. Wow, did not expect that. Totally cool with that!
  21. I think they should get over that. The first half of 2022 is the only time in the last 3 years when he showed he could still hit. He sucks. Giving him two years was stupid. Don't double down on stupid m
