    Now that Arcia and Kriedler are up, I'd prefer to see them play short. Lee shouldn't be there. His defense is not good enough for the position and his bat definitely does not make up for it. Arcia at 3rd. Kriedler at SS. Lee at 2nd. Clemens and Keaschall at 1st.

    Ill preface by saying I am a Matt Wallner fan. I was among those that were glad he wasnt traded. With that said, I think i was wrong. Even if he does start mashing right handed pitching again, you simply can not put him in the outfield. He has a strong arm that used to make up for some defensive deficiencies, but it wasnt anymore. So what youre left with is a Platoon DH only. Which could work on some rosters, but we already have players that fit a similar description taking up roster spots with Bell and Larnach. I dont like seeing either of them in the field either. He may be a change of scenery candidate, along with Lewis. Prove me wrong, Matt. Please. Im a fan.

    It was just a thought based on his comments about people ready to take his spot on the roster and things of that sort

    As already stated, I too want the team to extend Ryan. Very entertaining. Jeffers, also. I like what they both bring to the team. Seems unlikely though. Good game today. Fun to watch. Great catch by Outman. Im not the biggest fan of his, but credit where its due, he has started to contribute a little bit. The team can be competitive. Im glad there were some players moved out. Just a thought, but having Lewis in the clubhouse could not have been good for morale with all the negativity.

    On this roster, his defense alone is why I want him as the everyday 1B. I read the other day he led AL 1B with 5 OAA. The bat is currently slightly above average. I realize Bell was signed to be the starting 1B but his defense is absolutely awful and *currently* Clemens has the better bat. But even if Bell gets out of his slump and stays hot long term, I'd still prefer Clemens because of the defense. Bell can DH if his bat justifies it. The defense on this team has been so bad that anyone being above average with the glove should be on the field.

    Nice start for Zebby. 5 hits. No walks. Tough luck loss.
  7. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Costly win. Hoping for a quick recovery for Jeffers. Very important to the team in many ways. Unfortunately, one of those ways is what we can get at the trade deadline for him. I would prefer the team be able to sign him for a few more seasons, until Tait or whoever is ready, but as a Boras client, I highly doubt thats possible. Trading him is the smart move. Him and any other free agents. Not having Buck on the IL has been an interesting choice. The most defensively suitable replacement is already on the roster in Kriedler, but there are others on the 40 man that could've gained some valuable MLB experience, if even for 10 days. Clemens defense at 1B has been very good. He's looking comfortable there at the moment. Is he a late bloomer or is this just the fun part of watching a streaky player?

    If Jenkins were healthier, I feel like he may have been called up already. I've heard Houston's defense is MLB ready and its his bat holding him back. I'd take a gold glove SS on the team. We'll See soon if he can handle AA. Culpepper feels like he's close. Im ready for his call up. An infield with Culpepper at 3B, Houston at SS and Lee at 2B seems like it would be pretty good defensively.

    Ober pulled at 77 pitches 🤦‍♂️ Decent start though. Lewis looks lost at the plate. Man Clemens is looking good right now. I sure hope it continues. With this many days off, I'm surprised Buck wasn't put on the IL. Must be beat up pretty good. With Taj returning soon, is the writing on the wall for Sim? A Move to the pen or ...? No way Prielipp should be sent down and Zebby definitely earned another start. Good to see Keaschall trending in the right direction. Bell has been a big disappointment so far and I'd really like to see him released or traded. Continue clearing out the logjam of no defense players.
  10. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Prielipp looked good again. Same with Clemens. Outman with another hit? Defense is still bad. Is Lewis currently the worst position player on the team? I had really hoped he'd come around but he is swinging at pitches so far off the plate. Hopefully we can avoid the sweep tomorrow.
  11. soyouresayingtheresachance
    That obstruction call was bs. But the offense couldn't get it done anyways. All singles. Ryan looked good.
  12. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Compliment Shelton for leaving Ober in the game a couple days ago and now Zebby is having a great start and he gets pulled at only 83 pitches. 🤦‍♂️ Really nice start for Zebby. Love seeing it. Outman hits? Who knew? Batting average higher than Royce now. Wonder how much longer Lewis has before he's teammates with Wallner again? Maybe a little Nitpicking, but I'd prefer Martin in left.
  13. soyouresayingtheresachance
    As good as Ober was yesterday, Sim was the opposite tonight. He seems to be getting worse, much like Royce. So many batters are struggling. Not a terrible night for the pen, I suppose. Clemens has looked better recently. Man is it fun to watch Buck!
  14. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Great game from Ober. It was such a fun performance to watch.
  15. soyouresayingtheresachance
    I commented about this on a different thread recently. He has potential, but that control is a major concern, especially when its not improving much, even at AAA. He also hasn't really shown the ability to handle a starters work load. The lack of control will generally lead to higher pitch counts early and a worn out bullpen. With that said, The Varland trade was and is a head scratcher for me. At the time, i was quite disappointed it even happened and still am. Unless Rojas is able to clear a lot of hurdles (Please prove me wrong), I see best case scenario is hoping he turns into a Louis Varland and dominates in the pen. I like the potential, but there are countless stories of pitchers with potential that couldn't figure it out
  16. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Great game from Ober. I really enjoy good pitching performances. They're even more impressive when you dont have high 90s available. Crafty start had the hitters guessing wrong all night. Its a beautiful thing. Props to Shelton for actually letting him have a chance to finish it and not pulling him after the 2nd time through the order. Buck stealing home and then Jeffers putting one into the 2nd deck!
  17. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Im ready to see Culpepper up for his defense alone. But I understand that may be of some detriment to his development. Either way, he will be a welcome addition when he gets the call. As for Lee, the idea of getting him off SS is also exciting. I like what the bat has done so far this year but overall the defense has been bad. I dont know that he has the arm for 3B and he was pretty bad there last year when he played. I think 2B should ultimately be his home, but what does that do to Keaschall? His bat wont play at 1B, especially so far this season. Too many other options for 1B already. Which tells me, whether he can handle it or not, Lee will probably move to 3B whenever Culpepper is called up.
  18. soyouresayingtheresachance
    I was happy Jax was traded. Very glad he was removed from the team. Massively overrated with a bad attitude. Getting Taj for him was great. As most have said, I was also upset Varland was traded. Made no sense. Best reliever in the AL now. Rojas has potential, but I dont see his future as a starter. So Best case scenario is we hope he becomes Varland? Absolutely terrible trade. I hope Tait and Abel live up to the hype. Abel was looking decent before injury. I haven't seen Tait play but I've heard he may not have the defense to stick at Catcher? That would be a huge letdown. The other trades are whatever. Expiring contracts for what we could get.
  19. soyouresayingtheresachance
    5 weeks isn't much. See where he is offensively at the end of the season. Defensively hes a mess. SS is not where he should be. With his weak arm, I wouldnt even want him at 3rd. Unfortunately 2nd or 1st are likely his best options and we have too many 1B options already. The team is filled with awful defenders and it shows.
  20. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Really tired of the bullpen retreads. Im really not quite understanding why Funderburk was sent down. Lowest ERA in the pen, I thought. Is he not part of the future? Lewis. It really looked like he was figuring it out before the IL stint. Maybe a reset in St Paul is needed. Although I'm not sure if he would take it well mentally. As stated, there are options to fill in at 3rd. Arcia is looking decent. Culpepper is a possibility.
  21. soyouresayingtheresachance
    I like a good pitchers duel. With our bullpen, the game could've ended poorly many times. Good job to them this night for keeping Cleveland off the scoreboard. Fun game. Tomorrow will be interesting with Morris starting. We used almost the entire bullpen tonight. It will be fun to see how it plays out.
  22. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Use him as a traditional 1 inning reliever and I bet his number would look even better. What I've noticed is he doesn't usually give up his runs until after hes sent back out. That 1st inning of work is usually clean. Move Sim to the pen for long relief and have Morris do single innings. It will halo the bullpen and the team a ton
  23. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Sim was looking ok today...until he wasn't. Too many holes on the team and I dont think there are enough capable players available to fill them. Other than Sim, the rotation looks good. Hoping Abel comes back and continues to pitch well. I have to assume Prielipp has pitched himself into the rotation. The bullpen is a disgrace. Funderburk looks decent. Rogers looks like hes coming around. Add in Sim. Acton and Laweryson were looking decent before injury. Maybe its possible to atleast become competent after a couple guys come back. But the defense. 🤦‍♂️ Its just awful.
  24. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Its been a rough start for sure. If I remember correctly, Sim usually starts out slow and gets better later in the year, but this seems different. He just doesn't even look competitive right now. I hope he gets right, either in the rotation or the pen. He's shown he can do well in the past. Maybe a bullpen move will help
  25. soyouresayingtheresachance
    Wait and see on Ryan. Usually not good when a pitcher takes himself out of a game. Wallner, Keaschall. Caratini, and the bullpen helped spark a win today. Im sure we all saw that coming.
