That's true, I did use baseruns. And when I used it I said if you used baseruns in 2015, then in fairness the 2016 team wasn't as bad.

are there many/any people saying that this team is truly a 103 loss team? Are any of them people who used baseruns in 2015?

My wife and I are doing the home show in a few weeks. We are going with 5+5 as a promotion:

 

5% off, and 5% to charity.

 

I think. We were drinking while discussing that.....

 

edit: I always wonder, if I do change my mind, and run for office, will this kind of joke hurt me from getting that 3rd vote (besides me and my wife)?

 

Not that joke in particular, but let us know, we might have to delete the whole Sports Bar Forum to protect you from your past!

Beats me.  I've heard many people say this is another 100 loss team.  I have not asked them their theories on baseruns.

Well, it means the clock is already ticking on De Leon so they can't delay his service time.  

Yeah - there are 40 guys on the Rays' (and Twins') 25-man rosters.  They haven't started spring training yet.

Mike Berardino is a tweeting maniac this afternoon.  Going on and on about our FO.

 

Falvey notes the core of both Cubs and Indians last year were homegrown.

 

Falvey: "Ultimately we want to build that (pitching) group from within."

Boy, those tweets.  They were meant to be upbeat and optimistic and instead I couldn't help but wonder what they're thinking.

when you get a chance you should read through all of Bernardino's tweets today in regards to the FO and what the FO was talking about.

 

And now

People thought Murphy's performance at the end of 2015 and in the post season was a fluke, and couldn't be repeated. Well..... he and the Nats showed the rest of MLB. Fans are so fickle. I like having Dozier on this team. Prospects are for dreamers. Professional ball players are hard to come by. We have enough prospects. About time they become ball players.
