  1. Mannion should not play the rest of the preseason. Not that I think Mond is ready, but we know what Mannion is....
  2. Why does anyone care what a coach or manager says? Nothing changes at all over way or the other.
  3. They weren't going to pitch the 8th and 9th, which is where it was lost
  4. Their two best pitchers lost that game before their worst pitcher took the mound. If they don't DFA Pagan, I'm not sure I can support this front office.
  5. Yikes! Guess I should have watched the auto fill more closely!
  6. They have what could be a great offense. I'm not sure why they'd start over.
  7. I'd go Larnach, given what the OF looks like some days Then Ober. Though I'd consider Maeda instead if he could start. Then Jeffers. I really don't think people her compare gin to other catchers..... If we can go to guys that won't be back this year, Lewis would be next, as he can play SS and OF.
  8. The desire of many here to demand other humans get their bodies cut open never ceases to amaze me.
  9. Weren't we comparing pay among sports? Do other sports have that? I think not.
  10. Of course, baseball players also play in the minors for less than minimum wage for at least two years, likely four or more if they come out of high school.... Those without big bonuses literally lose money every year, and sleep four or five in two bedroom apartments.....
  11. You're not getting the anti vaxxer to vaccinate.....
  12. In the least shocking news ever, the QB has COVID.
  13. I do. Why would I NOT want them to? I don't get this take at all.
  14. I think SWR will be starting for the big league team no later than June of next year.
  15. And they can sign Betts. Are we pretending they don't have a huge payroll now?
  16. NEAR zero......but I get your point!
  17. I agree, there should be 1-2 good starters (and IMO, Ryan should count, but I get others disagree) and 3-4 RPs by now (Jax, Duran, and ?).......It really is 3-4 years, NO ONE from this year or last is in the majors (pitching wise). People keep typing 6 years, but that's just not realistic at all. They've turned a lot of draft picks into 2 and 1.5 years of good pitching. While that is good, it isn't great.
  18. Or, those were awful picks (given that almost none of them are even in the minors anymore, let alone the majors).
  19. Give them more early picks as many as the good teams (one idea is to give the ten worst teams two picks before anyone else picks, for example). Consider (consider) letting the best teams only protect 30 players from the rule 5 draft.
  20. I do agree, they have NOT done enough internally. I have no idea how much of that is bad luck with injuries, and how much is on them for not taking pitchers earlier in the draft. How many good starters would you expect there to be drafted and developed every year, and how long do you think it should take for them to show up? I mean, they didn't draft a guy until halfway thru year 1, so I'm not sure we can really say 6 years at this point (and, do you expect anyone drafted last year or this year to be in the majors?). So, like, maybe 4 years, but more like 3 really of guys that "should" be in the majors?
  21. The odds of any QB not taken by pick 45 being a starter are near zero. I never want a QB other than that range, or super late.
  22. I get a lot of guys are hurt, but there has to be another option besides Beckham.
  23. They started with zero pitchers. What did you expect this year. One pitcher, one, from the minor league system they inherited is a starter in the majors right now, maybe two, I might have that wrong. So, yes, they had to acquire guess from the outside. Linet nearly every team.
