I would very much like for us to trade some of the pitching we’ve been stockpiling before it becomes worthless
So Kris Bryant lost his Arb case. He's a 1 year rental bat that hates Chicago. Maybe something average could get him.
imagine bragging about getting that bum back in a trade whoever did that on tmb should probably be embarrassed
It's a two year rental since he lost. It will cost us much more to get him now. I would be shocked if we pulled it off.
Opening day lineup prediction 1. Ronnie CF 2. Ozzie 2B 3. Fred 1B 4. Markakis RF 5. Ozuna LF 6. Riley 3B 7. d’Arnaud C 8. Bae SS 9. Soroka P
Gonna be an optimistic here. there is a scenario where Carmargo puts in the work this offseason and he comes in in shape and has a 2018 like year. There is also a possibility that Riley figures out how to hit an off-speed pitch and becomes the elite power bat that he is capable of. His ceiling is still 40 homers and he's not the first young bat in our system to have a roller coaster first year.
I definitely think it's foolish to write off Riley just yet. I also am not sure he figures it all out immediately.
Flip Ozuna and Kakes and I think that’s it Maybe Ender instead of Kakes with some adjustments to the end of the order
I am pretty damn unhappy at trotting Kakes out at #5 this year. 1-2-3 is among the best in baseball. 4-8 is ugly.
The scenario that makes me want to die that Snit will 100% go with because of “balance” is: 5) Kakes 6) D’Arnaud 7) Crapmargo 8) Bae
Fred says it’s the first time in 9 years without elbow pain. Probably should have gotten that taken care of sooner, bud.
I heard an interesting take on adding the DH to the NL. It called for having the DH only as long as your starting pitcher is in the game. It preserves some of the late game strategy currently in place without the DH. It also adds some strategy to yanking a struggling pitcher early. I might be able to get behind that, but I’m not sure.
That isn’t accurate, someone posted the data in the MLB thread They weren’t really doing it that much as a team until the last 2.5 months of the season and BMac only had 399 PAs that season Mac was one of the ones that was way under the trend line in terms of bangs vs pitches seen in games where they were doing it
I just don't understand being an elite athlete with the best medical health professionals a text away and not getting shit like that looked at.
Apparently McCann was one of the ringleaders of this Astros cheating scandal. Supposedly he and Beltran coordinated the whole deal.
Chipper blocked me on Twitter, I am not entirely sure what tweet did it either as I have never directly tweeted at him. I can only assume I was going after Snit or maybe something with the Falcons (Quinn) got him super triggered.
I couldn’t tell from Musgrove’s comments what exactly he meant but confusion has never stopped Buck and Kincaid before.
