    Eh, I'll take that. We did get what I believe was our 4th hit with the bases loaded, which is nice.
  2. Danchat
    Uh, Adrianza never had much trade value in the first place, and now he's hitting poorly. We'll get a lotto ticket for him once he's DFA'd, whenever that happens. At his best Adrianza is a decent utility guy, which isn't going to fetch much on the trade market.

    Cron has had 3 4-hit games in the last 7 days, I believe. That'll get your batting average up there.
  4. Danchat
    This isn't related to this game, but I saw the Rangers beat the Royals 16-1 with Danny Santana starting at SS and Logan Forsythe at 3B. And Santana's their leadoff hitter... weird!
  5. Danchat
    Yeah... looks like things aren't working out for Duffey so far. Well, it has been years since he's been good in the majors, so I can't act surprised. Suddenly, we may need one of our better relievers to finish this game.
  6. Danchat
    Buxton hitting .285 at this point is quite the revelation - I know I certainly didn't think he'd hit this well. It seems his Spring Training was a sign of things to come.
  7. Danchat
    Pineda has had some problems with solo HRs recently, but outside of that he's been solid. He seems to have command over his pitches, with zero walks thus far (and I think he had 0 in his last start?). I'd keep throwing him out there and see if he improves.
  8. Danchat
    I can't watch this. This is one of the worst innings I've seen defensively, and the pitching has been terrible too. I feel for Mariners fans right now.
  9. Danchat
    I was about to say the same thing, he should be able get through 6 and possibly get an out or two in the 7th. That'd be big for resting the bullpen.
  10. Danchat
    I don’t see why the rush with him. They don’t have to immediately call him up or anything. Some players need to be added earlier than others in their development process (Polanco is a great example) but there’s no need to rush things with your top prospects.
  11. Danchat
    *commence everyone demanding whichever minor league pitcher did well be immediately called up* Yeah, I guess Austin Adams would be the next guy up, but he's nothing exciting. Coming in to the season I was concerned about the AAA depth of this team, and it's coming to fruition. Though so far, Harper and Morin have been hits, so that helps things.
  12. Danchat
    Eh, I didn't see much. If you're interested in trying to fix Jerry Blevins or Tyler Lyons, then they're available.
  13. Danchat
    Look, I liked Hildy and he was great when he burst onto the scene to help a desperate bullpen in 2017... but it seems a lot of us forgot that has 2018 season was among the worst for relievers in all of the MLB. He had a rough 5.42 ERA with a mediocre 1.384 WHIP, and if you're into WAR, he was worth -0.6 WAR. I thought it might be wise to have him start the season in AAA, but clearly the FO thought leaving him as one of the few high leverage options was a good idea... I don't want to overreact, but I think they need to add a high leverage reliever soon. I'm not very interested in Kimbrel, so I'd be looking for a trade. I'd rather get a reliever now than wait for the trade deadline - I know prices will be cheaper then, but IMO we have prospects to spare.

    A high-ankle sprain is usually a multi-week injury, perhaps 2-4 weeks, at least in football. It may be more difficult to come back as a catcher since he'll be squatting so much. This is why you don't trade Castro away 'cause now you'd be down to Astudillo and... Tomas Telis?
  15. Danchat
    It's nice to see Arraez at AAA - if he could get a couple months' worth of experience at AAA, perhaps he could pass up Torreyes as the next infielder up in case of injury. Boy, that's a lot of injured prospects. It stinks for Gordon because it seemed like he was finally starting to string something together at the plate.
  16. Danchat
    Oh, at first I thought this was a "first 40-50 games" thing, but now I see it's a full-season comparison for middle infielders. I don't think Polanco finishes in the top 5 as we have a long season ahead of us, but I do think he's a top 10 offensive option as a shortstop in the MLB, which is a terrific outcome for him.
  17. Danchat
    We're sure complaining a bunch for a guy who hasn't blown a save yet, has a 1.20 ERA, and is getting paid $1.8M. Parker's been fantastic so far!
  18. Danchat
    There's nothing better for an opposing team that loading the bases while we hit... we're 3 for 28 on the season when the bases are loaded.
  19. Danchat
    So... Gibby's looking pretty good so far!
  20. Danchat
    There's that RISP I'm talking about!
  21. Danchat
    We need to get on track with a win here. C'mon, boys, let's see some RISP hitting and a good start form Gibby!
  22. Danchat
    Bleck, hopefully they can improve with these close losses. We have some cushion to afford some losses, but here's hoping they can turn things around.
  23. Danchat
    Alright... now that we've got the Wiz Wes here, I guess we can give Duffey another shot. Let's see if a little more MPH can fix him. It seems to me like his curveball is either totally lethal, or completely ineffective at times.
  24. Danchat
    Well, it's nice that Thorpe finally had a good outing. He really needed that. Methinks Addison Reed is toast. I doubt he makes it in the MLB averaging 87-88 on his fastball. I'd DFA him once the rehab period is over, unless he looks much better over time.
  25. Danchat
    We learned this lesson in 2018, as Adrianza was caught out at home 4 or 5 times. He's not fast and while I didn't see the play, I wouldn't risk it.
