  1. He was rated well above average last year.....
  2. Better than the dentist talk, while I was there!
  3. Another brewery day for me..... Plus my wonderful wife is making scones right now....
  4. At a brewery. Unknown to us, there was a drag show. Not bad, not great.
  5. My phone says injury delay. Buxton already?
  6. Just planted spinach and cilantro. Dug up some plants my wife hates. Trimmed a tree at the end of the driveway so we can see pedestrians better. It's not eleven am.... gonna need to do something more today. Not nice enough to golf this weekend.
  7. Love that the OP is responding maturely and with gratitude that others commented. Thank you.
  8. I don't think more than a hundred or so fans care if they'd change their talking about Polanco, frankly.
  9. You know this how? I'd guess they aren't talking about Polanco more because it is hard to predict with any accuracy.
  10. Every player not on the active roster isn't playing What more do you want to know? That's the question....no one is complaining about guys listed as out.....
  11. Love the pitchers....but only a few hitters I see as future starters in the majors.
  12. Which is very different than giving a date on Polanco weeks out.....we get lineups hours before the game. If a guy is on the injured list, he's not playing....what specifically are you asking for that you don't get now?
  13. Strong disagree. Other sports don't change their rules for the post season, and neither should baseball. I have no more interest in watching 3.5 hour games (with 30 minutes of actual action) in October than I do now.
  14. That Polanco stuff proves my point....people here feel misled, when it is likely things aren't going as expected. Communicating expectations creates expectations. If a player isn't playing that day, of course that's communicated, but that's not what people are complaining about. They are complaining that Polanco isn't scheduled to play the exact day originally stated (last year and this year).
  15. I mean, Fangraphs already lists him as a LF....... I like the idea of dealing a starter but not Ober...I'd rather deal Maeda for a low level guy at this point (I don't trust his arm and I do trust the three in AAA).
  16. Random fans won't ever check the injury list before going. Serious fans? Maybe, but they'll likely go anyway. I could be wrong, of course. I don't think it is about caring about consumers at all. Injuries are hard. Setting expectations at all creates, as we've seen, expectations. Then fans get mad when the doctors/trainers/players were wrong! Of course, if a SP isn't going to make their normal appearance, that seems reasonable to communicate, but that's not what people are complaining about at all. They want to know how many days Polanco will miss, to the minute.
  17. Plus ERod is ready to roll.....he's further into his recovery than Royce and he's not being protected like Buxton. I hope he blows thru high A by June at the latest.
  18. Agreed. This is much ado about nothing. They owe fans zero about injuries, zero. If I was them, given how meanspirited so many fans are, I'd stop talking about injuries at all and answer questions about them with a "that's an in house discussion only."
  19. That's not how decisions work.....you make them based on process and likelihood, not second guesses.
  20. Better to be ahead than behind. I liked the PH a lot. They have an off day. Using the bullpen made a ton of sense to me.
  21. Sigh. One game in, and the complaining is on. I just don't get how that makes one happy. Big fan of the Lopez trade . It wasn't bitter for many of us.
  22. Guess I'll smoke some chicken for dinner!
