    Rocco's riding Winder as if he's going to be shown the door to AAA tomorrow... I don't get any of this. The bullpen's been good lately, just let them clean up in the 7th onward.
  2. Danchat
    What, Winder's pitching in the 4th? Why isn't he keeping his spot in the rotation? Lewis and Miranda could not be hitting any differently right now... wow, gotta get Lewis in the lineup every night! The kid's looking like a #1 overall pick so far.

    It's the Spongebob Movie, the character Dennis played by Alec Baldwin.

    You would have had to grow it like this:

    Agreed with several of the other posts, Rocco is a fine manager and takes a lot of blame for things that are out of his control or is just part of the modern game of baseball. I just don't think managers make much of an impact, and say if you fire him, Falvine is probably hiring a slightly different version of him that's going to do many similar things because of how much a collaboration the whole operation is. It just annoys me that when anything goes wrong I see "this loss is on Rocco", and then when things are going well, he rarely draws credit (I usually hear "the Bomba Squad carried him" or "his record is only good because they're in the NL central"). But there are plenty of moves that he makes that I question, no doubt. But I'm not going to fall into the mindset that I know better (because it feels like a lot of baseball fans I know from other teams all think their manager is bad at decision-making). Manager of the Year? That's gonna be a hard no from me. But I'm interested to know which managers consistently get more from the players, make better lineups, make better bullpen decisions... no that I doubt that there are any, just that I never hear or see any managers making huge differences compared to the likes of Rocco.

    Cano's stuff looks good, and his command has been fine as well. I'm liking his chances of improving our pen this year.
  7. Danchat
    Apparently this was a thing pre-game? Man, Oakland's stadium really is in rough shape.
  8. Danchat
    He still probably will, but it's probably not going to be smooth... best case scenario for Archer is to end up in the bullpen sometime this summer, though Paddack's injury and Bundy's return to being mediocre are getting in the way of that.
  9. Danchat
    Garlick's been in the 3/4 spot usually vs lefties, since he pulverizes them. And it's not like we have many better options, though I don't know why Lewis is still down in the #8 spot.
  10. Danchat
    Perhaps, but Larnach and Celestino have been examples of guys who really struggle their first times up, and then the second time (the next season), something clicked. This might be the case for Miranda too, or maybe 2021 was all a fluke. Who knows, but I'll err on the side of patience.
  11. Danchat
    It's too bad Contreras didn't get into the lineup once (only had 3 PAs as a replacement), but he'll probably be back eventually with how injury-prone this team is.
  12. Danchat
    So Buxton admits the only is to play 100 games... so the plan is to only play 77 of the next 127 games (60.6%)? Can't say I'm a fan of this.
  13. Danchat
    Does it count as a no hitter if you only do it for 8 innings... but the bottom of the 9th isn't played because you lost?
  14. Danchat
    The Cincinnati Reds have no-hit the Pirates through 8 innings... and they're losing 1-0! Hunter Greene was pitching out of his mind, though they've given up 6 walks.
  15. Danchat
    Rare SB for Arraez.,. A better throw definitely gets him.
  16. Danchat
    Baldelli got ejected, so he wouldn't have been able to make the PH call himself, but I think it's pretty clear that Falvine and the coaching staff have a plan (of insane amounts of caution) in place.
  17. Danchat
    No pinch hit for Buxton? Is he that injured?
  18. Danchat
    Ugh. That's GG with how bad our situational hitting is.
  19. Danchat
    I don't love going Cotton here, and he's already hung a couple of nice pitches for Gimenez to hit... would have liked to see more from Duran, at least one more inning.
  20. Danchat
    It was more than a month... but yes, it was an aberration to the rest of his career. We'll have to see if he heats up once he gets sent back to AAA.
  21. Danchat
    Reminds me of when Molitor would have Polanco bunt, especially when he was hitting in the #3 spot...
  22. Danchat
    I've heard that too, but the way he's been out of the lineup and DH'ing so often... I dunno, I don't think he's trying very hard to get into the lineup.
  23. Danchat
    Why is Miranda in the #6 spot when he's been struggling badly, yet Lewis is still in the #9 slot? Weird. That on top of Buxton starting to get used more like a reliever rather than a $100M outfielder...
  24. Danchat
    Oh, I thought Cleveland was using a hitter as a pitcher, but I didn't realize Gose converted to being a reliever after last being an outfielder 6 years ago in the majors...
  25. Danchat
    That was a pretty bad outing for Jax, good thing we had a big lead...
