Really dumb. I’ve been finished with this management team for a while, this just further validated it. Unless they intend to sign a couple of big bats for OF and 3rd or short (LOL)...otherwise this means they think they can go with Edman at 2nd as a full time starter and that ain’t going to cut it. Just more downgrades to an already borderline team.
He's insanely talented. Everyone that bitched about him was mostly bitching about his hair coloring and dumb shit like that. It would have been dumb to cut bait on a guy just because he's a little immature. Now he's past the point where you hope he can grow up. Im sure they try to move him, but unlikely in this market
I feel like he was insanely talented at one point in his career, but not sure that's the case anymore.
He's still insanely talentet. His 2 seamer is nasty. Just cant get out of his own way. Both mentally on the mound and dumb decisions off it
Him blowing kisses or whatever to Acuna in the playoffs last year was it for me. He isn’t missing any bats, every strike he throws grabs the middle plate, but he’s gonna concentrate on showing up Acuna. At age 29/30...
That was a tough luck inning. He did well to get out of it w just 1 run. DeJong has been awful in the field this year
The KMOX postgame show at his old bar was always the best. The show didn’t end until he got tired of talking which sometimes wasn’t until 1 am. And a lot of the guests were old time ball players that were bench coaches from the visiting team. They would just tell stories.
They’re not as bad as they were to start the season and they’re not as good as they’ve been the last week. But the rest of the division is so doo doo they can win it. They also could finish 3rd.
O’Neill and Carlson playing over where I thought. Goldschmidt stating to hit. The staff not being terrible. I’m offilly in the “they still aren’t good but the rest of baseball is really mediocre” stage.
It's still so early,but so far so good. Seems like we havent really played any good teams yet. However baseball is weird this year and the expected good teams are struggling. O'Neill has been pretty good since coming off the DL Carlson has been about what I expected, but the lack of power is a little surprising Bader hitting too. And he's hitting breaking balls from right handers. That's huge. Even Carpenter is having good ABs now Still concerned about Goldy. He's whiffing so much. Notorious slow starter but man... lets go. Also - so much for Arenado not being able to hit away from Coors. SP is still an issue. Theyre getting good BABIP luck, but getting the job done for now.
Walker has started on fire. Wynn was having good ABs, drawing walks but not really hitting. Good to see him going https://twitter.com/MLBPipeline/status/1392589101229092867
Yeah, only good thing that could come out of it is Yadi being extra motivated today and hitting a bomb.
Pretty frustrating weekend but should’ve expected it. Probably had a better chance if the Padres were at full strength.
We should have sold Reyes and Gallegos today. At least they've been hitting on the draft picks that past few years. Pretty exciting players in the minors.
