    You guys, stop verbing nouns.
  2. ashbury
    Yes.

    CJ is having a rough game. It shows up as E5, but that's the first baseman's job to pick up his teammate.

    June Greene died some years ago, unfortunately.

    Four of Rogers's 7 earned runs this season have come with 0 days rest, in just 5 2/3 innings. So it seems like there is some validity to your concern, allowing for SSS of course. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=rogerta01&t=p&year=2019

    Your instincts are spotless.

    MARWIN !!!!
  9. ashbury
    He keeps looking at his hand. Might be a blister developing.
  10. ashbury
    Marwin feeling for the wall on that warning track fly, as though it was the first time he'd ever played RF. (Checking...) Heck, he's been there 12 games before this, so that can't be the reason.

    Jinxes tend to be pretty obvious, once you start to look for them. Anti-jinxes, OTOH, are kind of subtle and I'm really never sure whether or not we have one.
  12. ashbury
    Send him to AAA for rehab.
  13. ashbury
    I have yet to see a satisfying result from having Marwin play RF.
  14. ashbury
    Sure. During the last couple of years it would have meant they were in career-threatening slumps.
  15. ashbury
    Wins. That's a deal-breaker.
  16. ashbury
    Who? This is such a strawman argument.
  17. ashbury
    We had only one. Back in the day, the Braves had Larvell Blanks.

    Clicked Like twice, once for each paragraph. Jeremy Tanner believes you should read The Onion more often.

    Any way you choose to look at it, this is a titanic thread.

    Psst, Falvey or Levine, get on the horn with Philly ASAP, we've got a hot trade rumor for you to follow up on!

    But that's the point. To point to two prospects whose stock have fallen is cherry picking. You have to look at the overall concept of trading prospects for veterans, and accept the bigger picture of what you miss out on as a consequence. Nobody, inside front offices or outside, is good enough to separate the wheat from the chaff, and only trade the chaff. Some fans wanted to trade Polanco. Some were willing to listen on Berrios. Without Berrios and Polanco, perhaps we aren't a "potential championship team", on which to build by making an astute trade. I'm not against overpaying in prospects. That's built into the drafting strategy we have. The window is open now. Address weaknesses using the farm as bait. I'm against perfect 20-20 hindsight that lets us believe we could have traded failing prospects at their peak. Because that pattern would also divest us of our core, assuring the endless cycle of mediocrity that we want to break out of with the trades that get discussed.

    One of the best of the season, if you don't mind a few stumbles on offense.
  23. ashbury
    Hamilton = Whew
  24. ashbury
    GARVER !!!!

    Google Translate confirms my suspicion: "Schoop" is Dutch for "rally killer".
