    Can we please score some runs for Lopez today?
  2. CRF
    For some reason, that's a mistake that many, many players make...and it's such a fundamentally easy one to avoid. The pic is perfect. It clearly shows that CC was telling him to throw it in to 2nd. It's so true...these little things can really hurt a team over the course of a season.

    Hope they have the bat warmers going! BRRRRR! Nice to see Polanco back.
  4. CRF
    Can we do this...PLEASE? I'm getting pretty damn tired of him coming into games and seeing him poop his diaper on the mound!

    I was in the car most of the afternoon listening to Cory and Dazzle. Was watching Pagan on tv as bad as it sounded on the radio?

    I'd take Ober or Varland in the rota right now over Mahle.
  10. CRF
    Laudner is terrible. I could never understand how he got that job. WAY worse than Dazzle. He needs to stick with the Jeff Belzer commercials.
  11. CRF
    Just a brutal game to watch. Only getting 4 hits in that mess, is abysmal. No way that Moran should be in that situation, I hate Pagan, but I would have thrown him in there. I honestly don't know what the deal is with Kep...he looks out of it at times, but he did hit the homer. He looks like he doesn't care anymore. The strikeouts are unbelievable! We're so lost at the plate, it's comical. We better figure out some things real soon, or we'll be doing the slow ride to never-never land again.
  12. CRF
    Definitely good news!
  13. CRF
    I'm REALLY liking this!
  14. CRF
    Buxton's been doing his best Sano impression since the season started. He's just brutal. The offense and scoring runs on a consistent basis, is going to be a struggle all season...or at least until Polanco, and maybe Kirilloff get back here...then we'll see if anything changes. We had that Yankee series right there on a platter for the taking, and did nothing the last two games. Let's hope it gets better up in Boston.
  15. CRF
    It's early, but we absolutely have to figure out a way to hang with these top tier teams. At least be competitive and stay around .500 with them. We can't let them come in here and kick our butts, and we have to be able to go to their yard and do some kicking ourselves. Otherwise...we aren't going anywhere.
  16. CRF
    Kepler sure isn't the answer, and Gallo isn't either. I don't really like Buxton at the 1 spot, but he'd be a much better alternative than Kep or Gallo. If Polanco can get back soon, I'd put him at leadoff and see what happens. Julien might be the guy down the road.
  17. CRF
    Not buying it. I'd rather he was on another team. I hope he figures some things out while he's here, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
  18. CRF
    Has to be Duran. Lopez next, if Duran is unavailable. To even mention Pagan closing games, is beyond insane.
  19. CRF
    My opinion is...nothing would please the general fan base, and many people that frequent this great website, more than our starters pitching well enough to go deeper in games. No one wants to see starters pulled after 3, 4, or 5 innings. It looks like we may finally have the pitchers to do that. Time will tell.
  20. CRF
    Just saw they released Jeff Hoffman. Kind of a surprise.
  21. CRF
    Absolutely 100% correct.
  22. CRF
    Gray is 100% right, but ultimately it's up to the pitcher to show that he can last more than 3-4-5 innings. If the pitcher is giving up hits/runs, giving up walks, has no command, and generally pitching lousy...he's not going to be in there very long. I sure would like to have this staff go at least 6 innings in most of their starts...that would mean that they're doing their job, and we're probably in the game. We'll see what happens this season.
  23. CRF
    Just my 2 cents. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I'm in the camp that thinks that we're babying him just a little too much. I don't see why he's not out there in CF a few games during ST. If he can DH/bat, and run the bases, he can play the outfield. He could get a HBP and be out the whole season too. He got hurt last year sliding into 2nd base, not out in CF. Is he injury prone? Yep. He's sure proven that. I'd be willing to bet he comes up with something again this year that causes him to miss time. I don't think that's going to change. It can happen to anyone. Buxton should take some turns at DH...AND...play the field.
  24. CRF
    I find it interesting, that these players that were more or less considered main pieces of our team last season...Sano, Sanchez, Archer, and Bundy...can't even swing a minor league deal with some team this year. Yes, Sano was hurt, but Sanchez was our regular catcher. He wasn't great, but he wasn't abysmal either. We trotted Archer and Bundy out to the mound all last season! Haven't heard a single thing about Sano, Sanchez, or Archer. Bundy just got a minor league deal with the Mets. Sano is the most surprising. I figured he would at least get some team taking a minor league flyer on him.
  25. CRF
    I'm more than willing to give him a handful of starts in the regular season, and see what happens. Is it possible that he struggles? Sure, but let's make that decision down the road a bit. For now, it's a concern, but not overwhelmingly so. If he gets killed in his first 4-5 starts, then you have to pull him and get Ober, or someone else in there. I'm just as concerned with Mahle, as I am with Maeda. We've got some depth on the staff, but we still have some question marks right now.
