    There is so much natural talent, but the approach at the plate is baffling.
  2. TheLeviathan
    I saw this was written by one "J. Cameron" and figured it would be more of an alien "Dances with Wolves" rip-off. Or have some sweet acid spitting guys. Instead I found this insightful baseball analysis. Pfft.
  3. TheLeviathan
    I probably wouldn't move Lewis. I'd explore all other avenues first.
  4. TheLeviathan
    I think there are only two important things to emphasize: Get Sano back. Fix Buxton. I don't know what the issue is but he's had nothing more than a month or two where he's been outrageous and the rest of the time he's so bad at the plate he starts to make me remember Drew Butera. And I don't like to remember Drew Butera. We already have Bobby Wilson for that anyway.

    I was coming to this thread to ask the same question. Seeing Ryan Pressley in his 408th straight game makes me feel pity for the guy and wonder why Hughes wasn't the first guy in to eat the middle innings. If you don't trust him....dump him.
  6. TheLeviathan
    Would've been nice to have that one to get to .500, but it's hard to be anything but overjoyed with a 7-3 road trip.
  7. TheLeviathan
    Well, I think the real issue is that Dozier is just really streaky. When he droughts....it's rough for long stretches. But when he pours it on....it's Ruthian. I'm not sure there is really a pattern beyond that.
  8. TheLeviathan
    That was a nice thing to flip the TV on to.
  9. TheLeviathan
    I'm not sure I buy that Dozier's OBP or BB rate is tied to being pitched around. His best year for taking walks was long before the home run binge started. He's been long overdue to hit lower in the lineup IMO, this might be the best time to make that move.
  10. TheLeviathan
    Maybe not a full firesale...but I could see them blowing up that bullpen. But yes, you're right, it would be shocking. But shocking teams sell off at the deadline every year, let's hope it's our top rival this time,
  11. TheLeviathan
    Well, do you see them resigning Cody Allen and Andrew Miller? I'm not saying a sell-off is likely, but the guys coming up on free agency are the types you might be able to get a lot for at the deadline if you see yourself as out of serious contention.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Last year the Indians caught fire, but I'm just not sure they have the offensive firepower to do it again. And if they aren't a clear playoff threat....do they start selling off some of their guys due for FA?
  13. TheLeviathan
    I will never understand why we use different baseballs. It's like apprenticing a tech on Microsoft and then handing them an Ipad when they get promoted. I just don't get it. (Great article! Helps with my concerns about a two pitch mix from the other night)
  14. TheLeviathan
    Very true, I hadn't considered how this will stretch him out more than he is accustomed to. But, unfortunately, there's only one way to prepare for that and that's just to do it. It's nice to feel like we have some pitching depth to call on for the rotation though, if that does happen.
  15. TheLeviathan
    I think that's the new thinking in baseball. Arms have a clock and every pitch thrown in MiLB is one less you get at the big league level before injury/wear & tear reduce effectiveness. I don't see any reason why they can't work with him to get better at the major league level.
  16. TheLeviathan
    Fair enough....I guess I meant he'll probably need a third pitch with a bit more of a difference. Then again, we've seen some really good pitchers have success with a few dominant pitches. I just tend to think a high-end starter needs one more. And he has so many ingredients otherwise to be brilliant. (Or maybe he has it and just didn't have command of it to throw tonight, I don't know. We're only two starts in to watching this kid)
  17. TheLeviathan
    He's probably going to need a third pitch....but man does he have life on the two he throws. Is it true what the broadcast said that he's only allowed 7 HRs in his entire professional career?
  18. TheLeviathan
    Good win with a tougher stretch coming up. The teams we're about to play are not like these tanking White Sox.
  19. TheLeviathan
    Absolutely, the room is already a mess but Molly didn't have to throw his dirty clothes in the pile. But...the mess was there either way.
  20. TheLeviathan
    The pitchers you want Molly to leave in or bring in are all terrible. It's lose-lose. The problems are more systemic than managerial pitching decisions.
  21. TheLeviathan
    You haven't been. There were all those threads this week with "Why didn't he leave Gibson in!" and the same with Berrios.
  22. TheLeviathan
    So....Molly leaves in his starter.....I'm sure everyone ripping him for an early hook will stay totally consistent in their criticism! But seriously Molly....keep Grossman out of the outfield.
  23. TheLeviathan
    Keep the challenging the kid, that’s all I ask - Don’t make it seem like he’s languishing.
  24. TheLeviathan
    Is he exclusively playing SS or bouncing around?
  25. TheLeviathan
    Yeah, we could have been wrong.
