  1. This thread raises interesting points. At what point should Cleveland become sellers? Are they content to make a run at the second wild card spot this year? Do they decide not to bother and blow it up? It's a difficult spot for their GM and it will be interesting to see how he decides to deal with it.
  2. If it's an offer they can't refuse it's probably a bad deal for us.
  3. Or it could be that his relatively hot start in the majors was a bit of a fluke and we are now seeing him as he truly is. In either case he's probably the most superfluous of our position players.
  4. This reminds me of how empty of a statistic BA can be. This is Ben Revere in 2014: BA .306, which you might think is pretty good. But of 184 hits only 13 doubles, 7 triples and 2 HR. OBP .325, OPS .686.
  5. Pretty soon we'll need a telescope to see that far away.
  6. Not the worst play by Sano to overrun second base. A good throw would have resulted in an out at the plate so trying to get them to cut the throw was the right thing to do.
  7. And she's had this gig for what, 5 years or more? I'm sure she has earned literally millions of dollars. Nice work if you can get it.
  8. I think Toyota Jan is perfectly OK with the sound turned down.
  9. That and getting good pitching. Pitching matters much more in the postseason than in the regular season. The starting rotation is reduced to four pitchers and most teams have made upgrades to their staffs via trades. The saying that good pitching will beat good hitting is not just hot air, either. Look what Verlander and Cole did to us when Houston was in town.
  10. Yep. They should be willing to trade any player at any time if they feel the return improves the team's situation. And the situation will vary from one year to another. Last year trades were made with future seasons in mind. This year any trades that happen will probably be made with the current season in mind.
  11. Being in one of the two weakest divisions in MLB and being paired with the other one in interleague play means to me that a 100-win season is a very realistic possibility.
  12. The ceiling is too high to give up for another year or two. He is 26 years old so he has a lot of prime time still ahead of him. He appears to be beyond the health issues that have plagued him over the last couple years. Trading him now or even in the next year means we'd be getting minimum return. It's in our best interest to let it ride and give him time.
  13. I believe so. The fielder always has the right to make a play on the ball.
  14. WWCD! Really nice win today for the good guys.
  15. Caution, nitpick alert. I've had the game on since the beginning today but haven't had the opportunity to chime in. I'm going to comment on the play earlier in the game in which Schoop was ruled safe at third when a TB infielder got in his way. Dick said it was interference but that's incorrect. Interference is when a baserunner gets in the way of a fielder who is attempting to make a play on a batted ball or intentionally alters the path of a thrown ball. When a fielder hinders the progress of a baserunner it's obstruction. Thank you. That is all.
  16. But...but...what if we lose another game? Then the pressure is back on again.
  17. Most of AZ stays on Mountain Standard Time year around.
  18. Diaz should have held him as soon as he hesitated. Oh well.
  19. I can remember when the games were on Channel 11. The Frank Buetel scoreboard show followed the game, then Harrigan reruns. (OMG! I'm nearly as old as Chief!)
  20. The Wolves never really start. They sorta go in neutral with very short spurts backwards and forwards.
