    Another wasted Berríos start. He deserves a team that can hit.
  2. HokieRif
    What if Astudillo ends up pitching to Ohtani?
  3. HokieRif
    been waiting weeks for the trades to start. Sad to see Cruz go but I came to terms with this probably happening weeks ago. At least he’s going to a solid contender and a team I don’t hate.

    Maybe this was all part of their mad genius plan... get by on B-rate (at best) pitching, maintain club control on the young staff, and call them up when its obvious we're not competing this year to give them the extra reps before next season.

    I understand we need something to talk about, but this sums up my mentality on the season....
  8. HokieRif
    Its going to be interesting, dare I say watchable, if we ever get everyone healthy. This season has either been a comedy of misfortune on player health, or a clear indication that whatever it is that the training staff is doing - they are doing it wrong.

    Last night was the exception, not the norm. I have to think that the Yankees fans are more embarrassed / confused than anything we might be feeling.

    In just over 5 minutes of real time. This wasn't some long drawn-out comeback. This happened fast
  11. HokieRif
    Do we have anyone healthy enough to send?
  12. HokieRif
    I'm willing to bet we're watching that record streak in real-time.

    This team is just bad. I started the season wondering how deep we would go in the playoffs. Now I'm wondering who we're going to trade and what we'll get in return during the fire sale at the trade deadline.

    Lets see - 2-1 series win... [checks box score].... [see's Colome pitched in one game, the loss]... this checks out.
  15. HokieRif
    "Alex Colomé has proven he can be successful..." I'm assuming this is looking at 2020 and prior. He's had a few clean games this year, but in the position he's in a 1:3 clean to putrid ratio is not something any team at any level and accept.
  16. HokieRif
    I have a theory: IF Colome does not play THEN we win. Simple in its design, elegant in its intricacy.
  17. HokieRif
  18. HokieRif
    not returning until someone is fired or Colome is DFA'd
  19. HokieRif
    These call-ups, this early, should send a clear message to the rest of the team. Start performing, or a much younger and lower-cost option will be taking your job real soon.

    Loooooooooooooooooooooots of baseball still left to be played, assuming we can get on the field and get beyond the outbreak. Still concerned about the on-field performance so far, but there is months of ball to play and too early to panic.
  21. HokieRif
    The solution here may be related to the Donaldson/Buxton article earlier... If neither of these two can consistently stay healthy then maybe the solution is to have them platoon DH, and however isn't DHing on gameday is playing their normal position. That means we have to carry an additional infielder and outfielder (or a super utility that can play either).
  22. HokieRif
    Both are a concern. The history of nagging injuries has made it so that we should assume that each will be out for extended periods during the season. At some point you need to look at alternatives... my concern is that we end up with another David Ortiz situation.
  23. HokieRif
    at least for the central, we finished 5-5 against Chicago and KC, and had wining records against Det and Cleveland. Yes they were upgraded teams, but we took care of business. What i have to wonder is what changed during the season after we started so hot (relatively) on offense.
  24. HokieRif
    Having had the benefit of being able to watch a significant amount of baseball (still less than I would like, but more than I normally would have in a regular season) I had a lot to watch and not rely on box scores. What my eyes and brain tell me is that the hitting coach situation has to be addressed. The #s back up the fact that this was a major regression across the team, and with Falvey & Co. so driven by analytics I have to think that this is the very first change that they make.
  25. HokieRif
    Hernandez and Varela need to be gone as the hitting coaches after this flaccid hitting at the the end of the season.
