    Somebody has to be desperate enough to give us a few bags of balls for him.
  2. The Mad King
    I agree whole heartedley
  3. The Mad King
    Currently in feeling like (apart from Ryan & Duran) the entire pitching staff is getting by with smoke & mirrors. Over achieving. And even my wife loses her mind whenever Duffy (Dean Ambrose) or Pagan step out onto the mound. I'm really wishing Alcala comes back soon...

    Wong and Anderson would have been stuck behind Dozier and Sano. Maybe traded off for other parts... Or maybe Wong would have impeded 2nd base prospects Gordon & Arraez.
  5. The Mad King
    ... That there is no more resting Buxton and Correa on the same day. Or is this a throwaway game?
  6. The Mad King
    Why? Remember the hefty bag? Every stadium has their idiosyncracies. Why not a wall that doesn't ricochet? It's still the same for both teams.
  7. The Mad King
    Stay the course. We need to keep developing starters. Joe Ryan trades only happen once in a generation.
  8. The Mad King
    Maybe they should try to sell him off or try to get some pitching in return for him before that DFA day comes.

    I'm guessing they're still trying to tabulate Alexander Colume's 2021 rate. The 14,000 year solar calendar procession being the most accurate unit of measurement for him. Pineda has to be pretty slow too.

    Joe Schmuck: ok kids, I bought us all tickets for tonight's game! Kids: yay. We can watch a healthy Buxton sit on the bench!
  11. The Mad King
    Me(off season): we can't expect Ryan to pitch the way he did in 2021. Ryan (2022): hold my beer....
  12. The Mad King
    Say the word "impingement" one more time...
  13. The Mad King
    "Obviously things have gone better than expected." This is exactly what we're expected LAST year with Berries, Maeda, and Pineda at the top of the rotation. Right now it's Ryan and whoever isn't on the IL. Starting pitching health and the stamina of the ones that are healthy are still a huge concern to me. Let's start this tonight. Chris Archer, can you PLEASE give me 5 innings?
  14. The Mad King
    You can never have enough pitching
  15. The Mad King
    My first take was, this sucks! But once Paddock started pitching and then realizing Tingler has a history with both pitchers, knows their character, personalities, work ethic etc, it seemed like a much better deal. Even at this point, with Paddock out, I'm good with this deal. Rogers would be gone at the end of the year. Party on dudes
  16. The Mad King
    I just want to see the ailing pitchers get healthy, the healthy pitchers start pitching deeper into games, and take 2 out of 3 in each series. Easy enough?
  17. The Mad King
    As long as the starters aren't going deep into games the bullpen is going to keep being stretched thin. I'm of the mind that he stays until he shows he can't pitch at this level.
  18. The Mad King
    One of the crazier thoughts I've had about the move: this will test his how he handles adversity. As if the past two seasons weren't enough. Told you it was one of my crazier thoughts...
  19. The Mad King
    #3, plus any other position that helps him get everyday reps.
  20. The Mad King
    Hitting 3 homers in his first AAA game, on his birthday no less, set the bar very high. I'm also confident he'll come around, but I tend to think we need to be a bit more patient. It might not be this year. But he'll get there.
  21. The Mad King
    This isn't Donaldson's "calf issues." Bux gets himself injured in a myriad of ways. Crashing into walls, ok those are legit. But once you've had a concussion, they tend to reoccur much easier. But let's face it, that man is accident prone. Hit by pitches because he awkwardly tries to avoid them. Sliding into bases. Eating a steak. Sure, rest him throughout the year so he's healthy for the playoffs, only to slip in the shower and break an arm... I said it in the other thread, nobody can control what happens. Someone way wiser than me once said "tomorrow isn't guaranteed."

    A great problem

    The Mad King commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    I like Urshella's glove at third, that's why I say left or first. And yeah, as much as we all want to see Miranda after tearing up AAA last year, he still doesn't seem ready and wasn't really killing AAA so much this year anyways. And as for Sano - yeah it's time to cut our loss there. If they can stay in contention without him in the lineup... He isn't really needed that much anyways.

    A great problem

    The Mad King commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    I believe Correa has a no trade clause, so trading him isn't that simple. We still have holes in left and first base. Can Lewis play either? I've been under the belief that we keep drafting SS because they have the athleticism to play elsewhere. Keep them both is my thought.
  24. The Mad King
    No, no, NO, yes
  25. The Mad King

    What's the point of sitting a healthy guy, because you don't want him getting injured? It's just the same as... HIM BEING INJURED
