So far looks like a very poorly put together team.
-
…but I don’t want to C it
-
Breaking news: we suck.
-
Swanson!
-
Damn, great catch by Suzuki!
-
This is gonna be a rough night.
-
On the pregame show on Marquee, they said Brown is available tonight out of the pen.
-
Let’s just hope we can hang in there until Steele comes back.
-
Let’s get a big old W today!
-
Right, and I’m not disagreeing with your logic. But there’s not chance I’ll stop complaining about it because it’s (Ricketts) that ridiculous to me. Never something I expected when he bought the team. I think the fan base has to stay angry or Tom just gets what’s he wants.
-
I’m with you. I’d really rather fail with Brown than watch Smyly again. He seems like a nice guy and all that, but this is becoming redundant. Let’s at least roll the dice on some upside.
-
But why aren’t we a 260mil payroll team? You have to play to your strengths and with the competitive balance rules being what they are, ours is being a large market team that can carry high payrolls. Obviously, not saying just ignore the threshold either. But I think you time going over it when you have something to gain from it. And we had a division title sitting there, wrapped for us and we played it safe. That will never not annoy me. And I get it, I have to move past this offseason. It is what it is and all that. Hopefully we’ll be a really good team and I won’t think about it anymore in a months time. But goddamn do I hate missed opportunities.
-
Yes! I think that’s a really good decision by the front office. Let’s not let the season get out of hand in April by counting on freaking Smyly. Edit: Not saying Brown is a savior or anything. But I’d rather we go down with him than repeating the Smyly experience.
-
It’s been mentioned already in this thread, but damn do I wish we could have taken advantage of that market collapse. I mean, I don’t think many of us wanted Chapman at +100mil, but at what he got? Would have really helped this lineup. Just by getting Madrigal the hell out of it alone. And Montgomery…that would have been a great deal for us while we wait on Horton. I don’t know fellows, I just can’t believe we didn’t go for it more. If this was the AL west I’d have been all for penny pinching while we waited on the kids. But with this awful division? This offseason still just doesn’t sit right with me. Forgive me ahead of time, as I’m probably gonna be banging this drum all season.
-
Yeah, I agree with this. I didn’t mean to imply I have a moral outrage with sports betting. I just don’t think that that should be the main focus of discussion in regard to any sport. And watching the Cubs and Blackhawks pregame shows…I’m just so tired of it.
-
Yeah, you must have had the audio off. After about the 4th inning, it became the most important storyline of the game behind Wyatt Langford adjusting his posture on the bench.
-
I just hate where we’re headed with the sports betting in general. I don’t do it, and don’t care to hear about it ad nauseam. This might be my first “angry old man” post, but, damn, do I long for the good old days before sports betting seemed to be the most important part of sports.
-
Allow me to overreact! That was maybe as frustrating an opening day as we could have wished against? Offense looked putrid, Steele almost lights out until he gets injured, we get a free run and the pen blows it again. Just a really tough first game. Let’s hope it’s nowhere but up from here, but goddamn, does it feel like we really horsefeathers up this offseason. The division was there, waiting to be grabbed and we opted to play it even. edit: it didn’t edit out a few of my swears but I fixed it. In the future, if it doesn’t do I leave it alone?
-
No, no it isn’t. It should be…but no.
-
Why is Smyly still a thing? Jed strikes again.
-
Oh I’m not disagreeing. But like, chill a little? He hasn’t done anything yet.
-
My question stands. Let him play. Don’t jerk him off.
-
Why is espn obsessed with this guy?
-
I feel like the extra innings rule is one that really ruins the game.
