    Apparently the Royals don't much want to win either.
  2. LakesPibble
    Folks that are watching the games, what's going on with Keaschall so far?
  3. LakesPibble
    I think the team would love dramatic. What they've really gotten though is apathetic.

    You wanna see something wild about the Angels? https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/angels-start-season-2-0-for-first-time-of-mike-trouts-professional-career-050423924.html

    Witt is now 0-9 lifetime vs. SWR. Weird.

    Not long now and we'll find out how spreadsheet dependent the new regime is...

    5th inning, 1-8 with RISP. Checks out.

    I think Lewis can be a solid starter, but in comparison to the superstar we all hoped for, I think he is a bust. That being said, I think he's fine to stick around. Just not going to be the one to lead us to the promised land.

    I don't get the Wallner angst on TD. He's never going to be a super star but he's inexpensive and good for some taters.
  12. LakesPibble
    Yeah, I was like, "Man, this trying out new rules thing in Spring Training has gone too far".
  13. LakesPibble
    And I'm out.

    Owners make the most money when they sell their teams. Having the Dodgers worth more makes their teams worth more. The myth of the sports loving owner is just that.

    Phew, now this whole off season makes sense.

    MLB is broken financially. All I want is a team that is fun to watch and competes hard. We're not going to win the Series, and I'll be happy with a fun team like the Piranhas back in the day, makes the playoffs, gives me a little hope.
  18. LakesPibble
    Agreed, both in loving Jorge and in the Mets overpaying. But it's the Mets, that's what they do.

    I was aiming more for "Takes casual fans to fill the stands". I bought Tix to a game last year too. They were so cheap in September!
  20. LakesPibble
    I think either a popular former player or a well known manager could have made a difference to the casual fan. And that's who fills the stands, not us few nerds on TD.

    I think he fits our existing culture perfectly.

    I don't think Royce is a prick. I appreciate his willingness to say what is on his mind. For some reason, whenever he comes up people want to defend what he says because he's willing to say it out loud. I thought it was a pretty apples to apples comparison of two players faced with a similar situation and having very different reactions. Royce seems to be risk-averse during the season. He has the right to be that way, but I don't think it's a strength or something to defend, especially when his last season and half has not been strong.

    Royce Lewis, 2024 - “I’m terrified out there. Little things like that are just adding extra elements to a September push that’s important to me. I don’t know. We have plenty of really good second basemen, and I don’t want to mess up our defense just because we’re going to try something new. It’s not spring training or Triple-A for that.” Bo Bichette, 2025 - "To be honest, I brought it up. It was something that I felt like I could get ready for quicker than another position. I just want to be ready to help the team in any way that is afforded to me, so that felt like an opportunity for me, and obviously they were on board with it." Bichette returns to lineup, plays 2B for first time in MLB career

    We keep Julien because we don't have anything better, not because he's good. Same with Brooks Lee. Same with Lewis unless someone would give us something for him. It's not that they're good players, it's that we don't have better players. This is also why I don't care where we draft. The current regime has not proven they can identify or develop talent at the major league level. The jury is out on Keaschall. He seems solid, but small sample size. Otherwise... Guys still in the minors that we have high hopes for, and guys like Julien, Lee, etc.

    Tell me you're the aging prime demographic of MLB without telling me you're the aging prime demographic of MLB.
