    I'm still amazed that Stuart Turner stuck with the Reds all season, with a short DL stint. 82 at-bats...not much of a season. The Reds didn't have much to lose, I guess.

    If a 4 means better than a marginal major leaguer, I'll take the under on Turley. He's going to be in ML bullpens, I bet, but I don't think he's going to be a major part of a good one. I was a little sorry to see him go, though, but of course I'm interested to see what happens with the new additions. After being worse with the Yankees for a year than he was with the Twins, Aaron Hicks had a great half-season this year, then fought injuries. I hope he has a good career, but he's not exactly David Ortiz yet. Swarzak's had a good year, a bad one, and a very good one since he left. Swarzak's 32 already- how did that happen?

    Buzzkill...In related news, every cute kitten will die someday. I'd like to win a playoff game soon. Then we can go from there. Let's get some pitchers. Do this.

    No hurdle whatsoever. Go after him.

    Good Reliever = Fine Closer, except when it doesn't. Ash pointed out the Ron Davis example, and LaTroy Hawkins is another one. He went 14/14 in save opportunities in 2000, came in as the New Big Closer and promptly went 28/37. He got moved to earlier situations and was great, so the Cubs signed him as closer. 25 saves in 34 chances. I guess my advice is that once it's clear it isn't working, better move on rather than hope things change.

    Quick update from the AFL, games as of 10/15 The Surprise Saguaros (did they not know they were Saguaros?) are 2-3. Chris Paul, 3 games, 5/12 with 1 BB, 1 K .417 BA .962 OPS LaMonte Wade, 4 games, 2/14 with 3 BB, 1 K .143 BA, .548 OPS Sean Miller, 2 games, 1/9 with O BB, 3 Ks .111 BA, .222 OPS Tyler Jay, 2 games, 2 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 3 Ks Andrew Vasquez, 2 games, 2 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 3Ks Ryan Eades, 2 games, 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R (unearned), 1 BB, 1 K Tom Hackimer, 1 game, 1 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 1 K Zero earned runs so far. If we're placing bets on the fall season, I'll put $100 on the over, but I like how the pitching has started out of the gate.

    Or it's at least remotely possible there is a third interpretation of events.
  8. big dog
    Wow, this might have been at least kind of fun without the constant bitching. Have a great night everyone.
  9. big dog
    We got one of those, too. Let's get some more.
  10. big dog
    Dang it. Time to get some more, boys.
  11. big dog
    Clap, Clap, clap clap clap!!

    C'mon Jose- good stuff, just stay in control.
  13. big dog
    All right, we held us scoreless! Now let's do the same to them.
  14. big dog
    Just asking- do you get invited to many birthday parties?
  15. big dog
    All right, if that was the obligatory ScrewTheTwins call, all it did was get it even. We can still win this thing.
  16. big dog
    All right, 8-inning game. Here we go. Just like it was 0-0.
  17. big dog
    OK, let's go boys.
  18. big dog
    All right, let's shut 'em down.
  19. big dog
    Nah nah Nah nah nah nah Hey Hey Hey Goodbye

    I say we send Polanco here...but then I'm insane.
  22. big dog
    oh HELL YES
  23. big dog
    concur.
  24. big dog
    Great to see this thread now. I think last year this thread got started in what, May? And understandably so.

    So far, I don't think the Niko Goodrum bandwagon has a lot of mileage left on it. He's really struggling- limited chances, of course, but still- not showing me much.
