    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.
  2. 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...
  3. The Mad King
    #3, plus any other position that helps him get everyday reps.

    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.

    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."

    ... Healthy enough to start in center today ...

    A great problem

    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.

    Remember when he called back just in time for the playoffs? And got beaned in the head? And missed the playoffs? "Protecting" him suggests the team thinks it has control over the universe and it's actions. You send your kids to school and hope nothing happens. Sitting him when he's healthy is no better than him being injured in the first place. If this isn't mismanagement I don't know what is.

    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.
  10. The Mad King
    No, no, NO, yes

    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

  12. The Mad King
    A bad outing for Ryan isn't really that bad. Lewis is ready, Miranda maybe not so. Houston's pitching is better at our current state of affairs. We need Ober back. We're still searching for a 5th starter when he is back.
  13. The Mad King
    Can they send a guy coming off Covid for a rehab assignment? I'd like to see Bundy get a shakedown cruise before rolling him out in a real game.
  14. The Mad King
    How long? Only until we find someone who can do it better
  15. The Mad King

    Blame it on the off day messing up their rythym

    Ryan needs his lucky turtleneck

    Ryan needs his lucky turtleneck...

    If nothing else I've enjoyed watching his career, or at least optimistic that he was going to turn into a star. It's a shame he's not going to have any value at the trade deadline and that we actually have to pay him to go away.
  19. The Mad King
    I remember when we considered Schoop a "placeholder" until Gordon was ready...I like his speed in the lineup and his versitility in the field. I'm good with him as our utility guy
  20. The Mad King
    I've been saying for two years now, they have to build this outfield with the assumption that Buxton is injured. In reality he's the 4th outfielder
  21. The Mad King
    Assuming, and this is a big assumption, that everyone stays healthy, and performs the way we expect them to... more pitching. Again, this is on the assumption that Kiriloff/ Miranda perform well at first, Larnach in left... Ok fine, another righty bat off the bench.
  22. The Mad King
    Paddocks elbow is certainly cause for concern. The worst part about the Sano injury, from a team perspective, it's that he'll be worth nothing at the trade deadline, and gone in FA with nothing in return.
  23. The Mad King
    Hats off to Celestino. I was not a fan but he's winning me over. He belongs. And can we admit that Kepler's defence in right has been great?
  24. The Mad King
    Pagan. I meant Pagan. Gonna give me a heart attack or an Aneurysm... ... At least it's not Colome
  25. The Mad King
    ...a trainer. A guy that knows how to stretch them out? I mean, other than Correa, and Kiriloff's wrist, muscle strains etc are considered "preventable" injuries. Do some stretching exercises for Pete's sake. Loosen up... The rest of us get up every day with sore muscles and go do our jobs...
