  1. The Morning Show was also good, but not Ted Lasso good. I'm told that Mythic Quest is good also, but we haven't watched it. Why would you cancel it while it is still free? You might find another show you like....
  2. I do think the kicker is injured....
  3. And no real punter either.....
  4. Given their youth, experience, I'm not worried about catcher with Jeffers and Rortvedt. SS? Big issue. It's a much deeper system now, which is great.
  5. How about get the jitters out in the lost season, not next year? Vincent has no place on this roster next year.
  6. One great catch does not a great fielder make.......
  7. Meh. Gordon is on the bench, and Simmons is in the lineup.....
  8. Rooker in the field again.... If he has to play, put him at DH. I don't think Gordon is long for this system, given how they use him.
  9. Someone accidentally said he wasn't. I deleted that, but you saw it first.
  10. Larnach down, Gordon up.
  11. Sent to AAA.... Gordon up.
  12. So it still counts they won the division? Also, it is a counting stat, so giving a raw number is quite misleading. He was much closer, as a percent, to the maximum fWAR than .5 seems it would be.
  13. Which is huge.....if you read the data on the top of the draft, the value is on a very, very, steep curve.
  14. Lance Lynn was signed at the last minute, and was angry he wasn't signed earlier. That year was never going to be good for him, imo, and had zero to do with the FO (other than not signing him immediately, maybe).
  15. Regardless of how what the record "should have" been...the point remains, imo. You can't dig a massive hole and expect to get out of it (you can, but it is rare). And, they have won games. The bullpen improvement and the SP improvement have been the keys, imo. No month/game is unimportant until you are out of it.
  16. I'm always cheering and hoping for them to succeed (except Trevor Bauer.....).
  17. No biggie there either. All 6 are replaceable, IMO.
  18. Great week! I think we are learning three things at the end of the year: Polanco is a very good 2B (with O, D, baserunning....maybe not a good D, but very good at the others) and should be a 2B. Arraez is not a fielder, and should be a DH or traded. Ober is a lock for a SP spot next year (assuming health). I'm not sure we are learning much else with any certainty at this point.
  19. Who trades for him? He'd have to be part of a large package of players. I agree his best shot at a MLB career is as a RP.
  20. I count maybe 6 guys on that list I'd protect for sure. That leaves plenty of room. Rob Refsnyder, OF Charlie Barnes, LHP Danny Coulombe, LHP Edgar Garcia, RHP Ralph Garza Jr., RHP Juan Minaya, RHP
  21. I'm not even a little worried about his offense at this point. But I understand why others might be. My point was that I'd rather have him at DH than OF......putting up another blocker for Rooker.
  22. Heck, I'd prefer Larnach at DH over Rooker, with an OF of Martin, Buxton, Kepler.....Reifsnyder as the 4th OF for now.....and Larnach and Kiriloff available if needed in the OF.
  23. I admit part of my opinion is emotional....I hate early picks on bat first, no fielder, players, and really disliked this pick. A lot. I really did think he'd hit better..... Maybe he will. Sano, in a terrible year.... Is still hitting very slightly above the average MLB player. Not great.... Clearly.... But still. That still leaves Arraez, who no championship team would want as a fielder. And Garver.
