  1. Sure they are. They are still doing selfies and tossing the ridiculous meat around, aren't they? Oh course they will. It is that kind of self indulgence that brings the arrogance to, as a team, including Lopez, to keep throwing meat down the middle on 0-2 counts.
  2. Pretty close to Pablo Day Lopez's career ERA. Ace/Cy Young projections, though.
  3. Remember when after about a 4 week stretch around the winning streak folks were declaring Jeffers the best catcher in MLB, deserving an All-Star vote? Right. Colabello had a good month, too. Now Jeffers looks so lost. Right there with Buxton. The selfies on the mound are just looking desperate, now. It is a long season.
  4. Definitely. I doubt it was malicious though. I think that umpires do the best they can, it just isn't good enough, especially when there is a better option.
  5. Our bats totally shutdown by Gil and Hamilton. Cast offs haunt again. People get paid a lot of money to make these decisions.
  6. Well I guess you have to take the opportunity while it exists. It might be more impressive if it was written after this 3 game series in New York. And folks sure are still making a lot of contact against Duran, but getting rid of a couple pitchers that stunk, and one that never should have been signed has made them better. I'm sure Theilbar appreciated the article.... 😇
  7. Folks like to say that, but I believe in shutouts, even if it takes more than one pitcher. One run is all that is needed. Just have to sync the pitching with the hitting. Simple.
  8. Nelson keeps writing about how good the bullpen is. It's his fault.
  9. More wrongs, consistent wrongs, inconsistent wrong. Wrongs are never right. Never. Just more wrong. One cannot paint that turd and make it prettier. There is no excuse for missing a pitch on the inside higher part of the zone to Judge. The plate ump is looking straight on at the ball and the zone. The most perfect view for any plate umpire looking over the inside shoulder of the catcher.
  10. Not paid much at this point. You are right. We need a REAL 3rd baseman.... 😵 😁
  11. I hope @RpR saw that play by Lewis. DEFENSE! 😇
  12. Outside outside outside..... high middle...... and middle middle. He is lucky that they didn't swing at about 5 of them. Meat. He won't say they were mistakes, though. Only mistakes if they swing and drill it out. Yeah, right.
  13. That looked pretty weird. Judge pats Lewis on the back..... and grabs his balls. Then he pats him on the back again..... and grabs his balls..... twice. I guess these guys just don't even know they are grabbing their balls anymore.
  14. That's the kind of GM we need. A guy that can trade the same guy to two different teams! I had no idea Gabriel Gonzalez was that valuable.
  15. Sure. Seriously, pace means nothing. Today's projection in the books. But it was well documented here on these pages that the season was over at 7-13, 🤥 and the projection when that was settled was there was a great shot to win 57 games and go 57-105! Hence, pace means nothing. It is all about when you project it, and all it takes is a 12 or a couple 7 games streaks either way to make it all mean nothing. But yes, it is a thing to do. (Sorry, I have no idea what your WAG means. I googled WAG and baseball and it is supposed to mean Wives And Girlfriends - Wives & Girlfriends of Professional Athletes)
  16. Pace. There is no pace. Just streaks and daily play. Calculating pace never really means anything. Should we go with the pace calculated from 7-13? How about 24-16? But projecting a final win total using today's W-L % is the one? Pace is really meaningless.
  17. I didn't read some of the other comments, hadn't gotten to them in progression yet, and then I deleted what this responded to to a dot as I didn't want to piss off the censors that requested us not talk about catchers here, but I see I was too late. I suggest we both edit to a dot as there is no delete option. I never liked signing Santana. Happy for you that you do. Still, sorry I didn't delete what you responded to before you now have not let die. (Santana IS part of the demote Julien discussion, though, as he was an option as well, and I will always go by if you can get your glove on it you should catch it).
  18. This situation reminds of the year the Twins traded both Span and Revere because of centerfield/outfield depth, and then didn't have an outfield as injuries and slumps piled up. Now we back to back years trade second basemen for the new shiny hope, and lack of depth.
