    Reminds me of when they were carrying Matt Belisle in the back of the pen, late 30s with an ERA over 7. He was 38 then pitching in games in August-September on a 78-84 team.
  2. Danchat
    How much more negative value will they let Wallner continue to accumulate? He's one of the worst players in baseball offensively and defensively.
  3. Danchat
    Another start where Shelton needed to pull SWR sooner. He's got the whole bullpen healthy, he didn't have to let SWR go this far. I love that he lets the effective starters go long, but you can't use that same principle to bad starters.

    Buxton is gonna single-handedly keep us in this game... too bad he keeps on leading off innings.
  5. Danchat
    Thank the Marlins they didn't score more than 2 runs... only one batter got out.
  6. Danchat
    8 run 1st inning for the Saints, BTW.
  7. Danchat
    7 HRs on the season.

    Looks like Aaron has received a lot of support:

    Looking at the 40 man roster, it is harder than you'd think to add an infielder to the 40 man with how many guys are hurt and sticking with an 8 man bullpen. You'd basically have to DFA Kreidler. Moving somebody like Laweryson or Abel to the 60 day IL would make sense.

    Kinda reminds me of the excitement around trading for Banda after the Dodgers DFA'd him... he was unironically called "elite" by some. Let's give Gomez a shot but it's way too early to have an article like this.
  11. Danchat
    It's because he has an option that can still be used. They already own him through 2030 (his age 33 season!), it's not about service time.
  12. Danchat
    I will say that I didn't realize just how bad Funderburk's peripherals were, 7.3 BBs/9 to 5.6 Ks/9 is atrocious. But still, a bullpen with Garcia and Banda throwing BP, he's still one of the better options.
  13. Danchat
    Lee has hit well, but has a poor arm and abysmal range... sounds to me like a 1B. We could sure use one, given they'll continue to trot out Clemens and sign the next bum free agent to a one year deal every season. And they're not training anybody worthwhile at AAA/AA to be the next 1B. Gonzalez has played a little 1B and Mendez didn't end up playing there outside of 2 AA games.
  14. Danchat
    Funderburk going down is certainly a choice... given he is easily in the top 3 best members of the bullpen. This could use up his final option.
  15. Danchat
    I'll consider us lucky if we get out of the 11th inning 2-2!
  16. Danchat
    I'm shocked this game is still going... and only 3 hits between both teams?! Geez!
  17. Danchat
    Bell's OPS threatens to fall under .600 OPS... that good stretch of hitting from him the first two weeks of the year is firmly in the rearview mirror now.
  18. Danchat
    It would be funny if they spent money to lobby instead of spending money to make the team better... but I wouldn't put it past the Pohlads!
  19. Danchat
    I would have expected him to land something around $15M a year, given what other receivers got paid around that much in recent free agent markets. He would be WR1 on a team like the Dolphins or Raiders, so it's curious to see him sign for so cheap. This is the first I've heard about the drama Levi is sharing.
  20. Danchat
    Post draft depth chart, with the new WR addition:
  21. Danchat
    It's a base $8M deal, which is very cheap for a receiver with the stats Jennings has put up the past two years. Add in that he's an elite run blocker, and he's a great fit as WR3. Ninja'd by Mike... seems like we are on the same wavelength!
  22. Danchat
    Seems to me like Klein going down is more about getting somebody fresh in the bullpen for tomorrow's game, not an indictment of him. He was the only guy who pitched today that has options, he'll be back. But it's hard to say anything positive about the unit... I like Morris' potential. Any updates on Laweryson or Acton?
  23. Danchat
    If true, these past couple years must have been a real struggle for you.
  24. Danchat
    Can't remember the last game where we had made two outs at home in the first 3 innings...
  25. Danchat
    I don't get the point of pointing out how many games back of the division we are in May when so many games are left to be played, this division could still be won with 90-95 wins. That's irrelevant compared to the talent of this team, which would need to have a large haul of trades at the deadline to get anywhere near the conversation of winning playoff games. And we know that's not going to happen. Crawling into the playoffs at something like 83-81 is not a realistic goal, and would result in a very quick exit from the playoffs. But I agree that trading Ryan is suspect now that teams might not be willing to pay as much. Trading him while his stock is low would be rough. But we do need to wait to July to see how things pan out, for the most part teams aren't going to be discussing trades at this point in the year. Another reason why talking about the division is irrelevant.
