    How many years do we have to have Lopez? Seems he has a bunch of control left.
  2. h2oface
    Baldelli had to put the rookie in. Great bench,
  3. h2oface
    Time for Lopez to loose his temper again.......
  4. h2oface
    Gotta walk Ramirez.....
  5. h2oface
    Lopez. Just what we needed. Wrong choice again by the "pitching gurus."
  6. h2oface
    Kwan will steal second
  7. h2oface
    Lopez has no circle of awareness. He keeps not letting his infielders do their job and deflecting the ball and creating hits that were outs. Against the Yankees. And again here. Slow learner to add to his undesireable behaviors.
  8. h2oface
    OK. This is the inning. These are the guys you want up. These are the guys you have to count on. This is basically a playoff game, and soon facing elimination.
  9. h2oface
    Only if Cole sands it down, first.
  10. h2oface
    We now probably have the worst bench in the league. Not exaggerating...... And we even get 2 extra right now,
  11. h2oface
    We need to hold and get 3 runs, especially with Lopez probably being called upon.
  12. h2oface
    Sanchez is gone after this year. Free agent. Want him?
  13. h2oface
    If this was Cleveland, they would have stolen second, and had two runners in scoring position.
  14. h2oface
    I think there is also something about use in September as the (now only) 2 extras that doesn't activate the option year, also. So maybe he could stay up the rest of the month and not have used an option year. I'd have to look it all up again to be absolutely sure, especially now that I have Partzheimer's, and only remember parts of things.
  15. h2oface
    No. You have to be called up and placed on the active roster to use an option year. Some guys that are regulars still have options, That is why Sano could be sent down after being on the 40 man for more than 3 years. He had an option left. If you stay on the active, which means you are also on the forty man, after called up the first time, you cold still have 2 option years left 4 years later, for instance.
  16. h2oface
    He is on the 40 man, but bringing him up for a double header for the 27th man does not activate the option for the year. So using him like that does not waste an option year. I think that is correct. I could be wrong, but I think that is how it works.
  17. h2oface
    Plus, I think, if the player is used as the 27th man for double header, that does not trigger an option year. It is a special case, by rule.
  18. h2oface
    That's not a good approach, boys. Make Bieber throw all of 6 pitches for the 1-2-3 sixth. Not a good plan.
  19. h2oface
    Correa is good at hitting the ball with the knob of the bat. Did it just the other day.
  20. h2oface
    Wow. 3 four seams at 91-92 that had little or no movement in the same spot middle middle. Leon watches one, and swings at two and not even close. If our pitchers throw it there, it is called a mistake and hit out of the park (Kwan). To Leon it is just a swinging strike and strikeout. Even with 3 in the same spot.
  21. h2oface
    Wrong direction, Jake. Pull that ball and it's a homer.
  22. h2oface
    Turner, Swanson, Bogaerts. Or sign the stigma of the Cheatin' Astros, He didn't get what he wanted last year, and there is a reason. He was not prefered at his asking price over Seger (and he wanted that kind of deal but no takers), Simien, Biaz, and Story. No one wanted him long term. After this decline from 2021, and it was a signifgicantly worse year in all respects, Correa may like the $35 million guarenteed and an opt out after next year instead, and give himself a chance to be the guy instead of a participant. If you get paid $35 million, you need to play to value. He cannot shed his reputation, as is evident on the road.

    I think you might not have been following Joe's progression. Get him before Texas does. Some take it far too far. Joe Maddon sounds off on analytics in baseball: It’s not the info, it’s the imposition https://theathletic.com/3568605/2022/09/06/joe-maddon-analytics-baseball/ Joe Maddon On Analytics: 'Players Don't Need All This Information' https://www.si.com/mlb/rangers/news/joe-maddon-analytics-podcast-texas-manager-candidate-mlb-news
  24. h2oface
    and Joe Maddon is still available..........

    There are some sports doctors that theroize that the lower mound is a big culprit for creating TJ patients. They injury started in mass since the lowering of the mound from 15" to 10. I haven't really looked ror the articles again, but I remember reading them,
