    Carrasco is just mowing through the lineup. Tall order for Mejia.

    The stream is fine. Just had to figure out the quiet mode that gets rid of the stupid stream of emoticons.

    Not sure whether or not he "deserved" it, but I think now is the best time for a final evaluation. He's either running out of options or may be out next spring, so it may be now or never for him. I'd give him several appearances before passing judgement. He does have his velocity back, so that's encouraging. I'll believe it when I see it though.

    You need to get one of the custodians at Fort Myers on your payroll. He can get some Lewis and Kirilloff hair out of the traps for your voodoo rituals.

    Not sure I can root for the Dodgers, unless they are playing the Yankees, but I wish Dozier the best. I'll still root for him when he has the opportunity to make a play or get a hit.

    It's part of Falvine's job to sell this team to the fans. From the lowest level of the minors to the latest big league acquistions, they are always going to present the best possible spin. As an example, Falvey's comments on Logan Forsythe reflect that more than anything else. I'm 95% sure that Forsythe was part of the deal due to the Dodgers current payroll proximity to the luxury tax limit, but Falvey went with how much they liked Forsythe. Getting cynical or judging the FO based on comments made during an inning in the broadcast booth is basically the same as judging a house on the market because of some cheap faux wood blinds that were put up before an open house. If Forsythe is offered as an FA, then a big plate of crow will be what I deserve.

    Random thoughts: Continually giving opportunities to someone performing as poorly as Belisle is borderline sabotage. Especially when you consider wasted opportunity to look at someone like Busenitz. Miguel Sano didn't strike out! Torii Hunter was one of my favorites, but he is just embarrassing himself in the press box.
  9. slash129
    Well, Sano probably won't strike out in this game, so there's that.
  10. slash129
    Reed looks like he has the flu or something.
  11. slash129
    Hunter needs to be DFA'd from the booth.
  12. slash129
    Now Sano is a 5-tool, Mike Trout level player. C'mon Torii. OK, Dick, kick Morneau out of the booth and get to condescending Torii.
  13. slash129
    Is it just me or did Torii Hunter just start one of the dumbest conversations by a color announcer? Miguel Sano doesn't have another RH power hitter in the lineup, so Tyler Austin is supposed to be the answer to that. Nevermind that Dozier was in the lineup every day until today. Morneau just plays along, because he's nice.
  14. slash129
    Diaz probably drops off that radar. He's been brutal since his promotion to A+ and now he's hurt.
  15. slash129
    and about 500 more PAs than Rooker, with less results (except for a lower K-rate), who is probably his competition (or platoon mate?)
  16. slash129
    IMO, Forsythe coming probably benefits Gordon. NG needs to focus on finishing the AAA season on a high note. If someone's struggling to swim in the deep end, you don't pull them out, fit them with a 40# weight vest, and then throw them back in. It isn't going to look any better.
  17. slash129
    Some days Belisle needs a day off from being the Mojo guy.
  18. slash129
    Initial impressions: Smeltzer looks like low grade org filler. Raley looks OK, but doesn't scream building block.
  19. slash129
    Forsythe = First player on revocable waivers tomorrow
  20. slash129
    ... and the tendon removed from Jose De Leon's arm
  21. slash129
    How about predicting who hits walk-offs off Belisle once he's the closer? I got Lindor.
  22. slash129
    I just want one of the three to be good enough to trade for multiple prospects in a few years, so that Pierzynski can be the gift that keeps on giving.

    Dozier move trickle down options. 1) SS - Polanco, 2B - Adrianza, UTIL - Gordon 2) SS - Adrianza, 2B - Polanco, UTIL - Gordon 3) SS - Polanco, 2B - Gordon, UTIL - Adrianza 4) SS - Gordon, 2B - Polanco, UTIL - Adrianza 5) SS - Polanco, 2B - Adrianza, UTIL - Petit/Motter 6) SS - Adrianza, 2B - Polanco, UTIL - Petit/Motter 7) Every other scenario (e.g. Astudillo recall, Rosario to the IF, Arraez leap frogs Gordon, etc.) My guess is #6. EDIT - This is assuming a move. #7 doesn't include Dozier staying.
  24. slash129
    I would guess he needs to keep up what he did in July to maybe see a week at Rochester at the end of August. If we go SSS just back to July 18 (basically the second half of the month), then he's at a 14.5% K-Rate along with a 19.3% BB-Rate. If he kept that up through August along with the rate of power stats, I wouldn't think a September call-up would be out of the question. Of course, there are other factors like the 40-man move and any defensive improvements that he needs to make.
  25. slash129
    Ramirez and Alonso are still looking for the holes in their bats though.
