  1. That was a baserunning clinic by Miguel Amaya of all people
  2. Joe Davis is quite good but oh my god can Smoltz please just shut up
  3. I love Seiya. I'll be a little sad if he leaves. He goes through his stretches and his all around game can be iffy at times but he's such a damm good hitter
  4. Dansby's first strike the inning before was basically as bad. Some jarring misses for a game in 2026.
  5. Pitchers with Brown's strikeout to walk numbers tend to end up being good
  6. We're really doing Seiya concern, 10 games in with his track record?
  7. Obviously a bit erratic but Martin's stuff looked great
  8. Nico would've been given 2nd base; they would not have thrown through. As has been stated, Kimbrel isnt a GB guy anyway. In that situation, the decision for Mendoza should've been to chase a strikeout which is more likely with Busch than Hoerner (split slashlines mean less when you dont need to reach base). Then choose whether to pitch to Bregman or I assume Amaya after him.
  9. That's managerial malpractice pitching to Nico in that spot
  10. Extending the losing streak on a blown save would provide some good content
  11. Not having access to team facilities from Dec to at least March next year probably isn't ideal either. If that's how that works.
  12. Great takes by Happ and Seiya. Also some serious respect for Ballesteros by Mendoza taking out his best pitcher knowing it was then going to be lefty v righty. Glad he was wrong!
  13. Really curious as to what is ailing Rojas
  14. He stared into the dugout the previous 2 pitches as well it looked like. I thought that seemed weird
  15. Based on a 1 game sample, Shaw has some prime LF Soriano in him in that the eye test looks awful but he's so athletic that he grades out well
  16. I think Sharma said recently that Snider has an early season opt out but didn't have one at the end of spring training. If he looks good at Iowa, we'll probably see him soon. Also if the plan for Shaw is to play a lot of outfield, we'll see if they think Carlson is worth a 40 man move. The fit might be a little awkward.
