Happy Opening Day to all! Nice to see baseball back on my tv. This dodger lineup is just insane 😱 -
Thanks, buddy.
-
Wait, is there a way to see how the umpires rated somewhere?
-
I don’t have high hopes for his bat myself, but it’s ridiculous to be anywhere near throwing in the towel on him yet. Twitter is just nuts.
-
Damn, Boras actually lost this round.
-
I’d rather trade for another long term bat, but honestly, whos even realistic for Bellinger besides us? I’ve seen the angels mentioned, but I just don’t see that going down.
-
Damn, why did you have to mention the uniform letter size?! I can’t look away now.
-
This is why I’m rooting for the dodgers this year. Let them buy that championship.
-
-
I hope they genuinely try it though. Morel handling 3rd would be a huge boon for this team, imho.
-
Yeah, I can get behind those moves. I still have my doubts about Bellinger, but it does seem like his market is crashing a little and we might be able to get a decent deal.
-
If Morel can handle 3rd 🤤🤤🤤
-
Really hoping Carl Edward’s Jr has a good spring. Have always been fond of that guy and I’m excited to see him back in cubbies blue.
-
I’m gonna pretend it never happened and just go with that. 😁
-
Didn’t realize we had any affiliation with that embarrassment of a family.
-
Makes me feel less crazy seeing this.
-
So Chapman or Bellinger and that’s a wrap for the offseason?
-
No, I don’t think he should give in. And again, easy for me to say from my couch, but I wouldn’t have even been targeting who’s left on the free agent market. Chapman and Bellinger come with an amount of risk I don’t really want a part of. But here we are. With pretty much no better options.
-
Sorry. What I meant was most people’s impression seems to be his remaining acquisitions will be Boras clients. And that Jed is playing this elaborate game of chicken with Scott Boras. Which, in my opinion, is an awful way to try and finish off your offseason.
-
I prefer he doesn’t back himself into a corner where he’s down to Boras clients only. He needs to be proactive in trades, and needed to do a better job knocking items off his wishlist before he’s down to options 3 & 4.
-
Yes sir. There’s still a path to a decent offseason. But this is why I don’t love the approach of waiting and waiting by Jed. Eventually, you’ll run out of options that actually move the needle. I don’t know. I think Tom and Jed are just a very awful combination.
-
I like the honestly in your responses. I feel as frustrated as you right now. So know you’re not alone. Seems like we could have had just a passable offseason and been in front of the rest of the division. This offseason (thus far) is somewhere under my lowest expectations.
-
Wasn’t the thought from scouts that Shaw might not have the arm for 3rd base? That mixed with not knowing which (if any) position Busch can adapt to and the assumption that Morel is only capable of being a dh just leaves me a little worried about the roster flexibility. Which sucks, cause those three bats would be nice to have on the same roster.
-
Yeah, I’m not big on Belli or Chapman. I don’t think they make long term sense for us. I think as much as I hate to say it, Chapman probably makes more sense at this point. One thing that concerns me is Im struggling to see how we fit Busch, Morel, and Shaw on this roster.
