    G f'n D. I was crossing my fingers this was Rand ball Stu.

    Poppen didn't know the game was over!! Was heading back to the dug out! Ha.

    He was a rental. I really doubt we'd have gotten more from any team that wasn't going to sign him to a huge deal anyhow.

    I was actually encouraged by this series. Yankees are good. We played right with them. For the most part we played bei well. If we play this well the rest of the year, we'll be just fine. *If we merely rose up for one series and still feel a little short, we may have issues. **Yankees usually have, and appeared actually to have another gear or two they can access away any time. So the series also may not have been as close as it looked...

    no kidding. where'd that kid come from? classic yankees. so annoying.
  6. Jham

    I feel like a number of good ideas have spring from this site. Use of options for relievers like extra roster spots and position flexibility were pushed for on this site, and those suggestions actually made there way to the rosters. Whether or not anyone else actually follows along, what a great community of baseball fans!

    I remember him crediting Rowson with his turn around. Told him that he could hit homers and shouldn't be afraid to swing out.

    See, this is why I didn't get the angst over his option last season. The caution is consistent. If we deemed he rushed back and he went back on the DL anyway, a decent likelihood, we lose a year of control for nothing. It may have also been a bit of a message that I'd he can't take care of himself, we'll have to. BTW,I have no problem work his latest done and catch. But did I hear his wrist is bothering him?

    In fairness, it could have just been an of the cuff prediction after thinking through the team media guide.
  12. Jham
    Still room on the bandwagon!
  13. Jham
    Have we traded for anyone yet?

    Houston leading Oaktown 11 to 1. Astros May be better than us...

    May

    Jham replied to jctwins's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    In my opinion, May has never made it back to pre tj form. He's had some stretches, and his velo is mostly back I think. (Everyone's is apparently... The smoother balls?) That said, I think he could be a late inning reliever, but he seems to be running out of gas. Has the look of a guy who needs a break.

    Conspiracy theory: FO is trying to force the hand of ownership to ok a trade for someone with some salary or costing blue chip prospects ...
  17. Jham
    I guess I see the possibility of Stashak bring better than Magil in particular, but also Morin as being slim. Especially in this series. I'm also going out on a limb to say the club will need arms this series. I'd prefer veterans this series. Assuming we don't call up #freeduran.
  18. Jham
    Very interesting. Except why do we think they'd help Cleveland and not us? Love the theory!
  19. Jham
    But why do it now? Why not when we actually make trades? To try to squeeze a waiver fee? Could have used the arms last series and certainly this series.
  20. Jham
    fun.
  21. Jham
    Controversial take: Trevor May has never been good. *there was a 2 month stretch in summer 2017 where he was actually good.
  22. Jham
    I thought it was obvious and didn't watch the replays. was he really out?
  23. Jham
    Seriously though. I thought I was taking crazy pills. Magill is serviceable. He's a big reason this pen over-performed despite Reed not making the team, and Hilde, Mejia, and Romero being utterly ineffective.
  24. Jham
    That's ridiculous. Someone has to pitch low leverage innings. They performed well most of the time. We had a top 10 pen most of the season by era as I recall. I don't think anyone would argue that Morin and Magill each have a serious plus pitch. They've each flashed in the bigs but haven't put it all together for a full year. So my statement on "better" is based on stuff and who they replaced. The popular opinion is that these 2 were just more dumpster dives. Hilde and Romero and Vasquez and Mejia were expected to be huge parts of this pen. They hurt the team and were sent down. Magill and Morin took the ball whenever asked and for the most part, held it together. They didn't have options, and would likely be replaced as soon as a trade was made or a prospect arm was considered an upgrade. But that hasn't happened. And my guess is we'll need arms in the Yankees series even if our starters pitch well. They did everything expected of them and deserved better. Regarding the pen other than Rogers begin average, that's exactly what I meant when I said the front of the pen isn't the problem. So why cut the guys at the front?

    Speaking of, Kimbrel now has 6 straight scoreless appearances. 6ip, 9k, 5 saves...
