  1. seems a touch vague.
  2. "I'll take "TD Headlines That Cause A Double Take" for one thousand, Alex."
  3. I'd have gladly kept Rogers. ERA for relievers isn't particularly useful in evaluating performance or projecting the future. 2022, He's got a 1.15 WHIP, 11.5 K/9, K/BB over 5. 0.8 HR/9 I think he'd have a spot in this bullpen.
  4. I think maybe the worst part of this entire debacle....we're getting owned by Isiah Kiner-Effing-Falefa. Ferpetesakes.
  5. Thanks. I'll be here all week. Try the chicken. Remember your waitstaff.
  6. I don't think Ted Williams played for either KC or Chicago. Nor last year, come to think of it.
  7. Queen died? Man, I thought that was DECADES ago.
  8. FWIW I think you've been hilarious so far. But enough about your looks! Hey-oh!
  9. The "stuff" is inconsistent, and he lacks command way too often. He can throw a tremendous splitter, but the next one just meanders to middle middle. He'll dot the corner with a fastball, then let one sit right in the whomp'em zone. And the slider is awful. The opposite of "good stuff."
  10. When it comes to the bullpen, well...laugh about it, shout about it, when it's time to chose, any way you look at it we lose.
  11. Did he have years of minor league play as well, from which to form an opinion? Demonstrated 300 pt OPS differential in those 350 MLB PAs? Managers and coaches watching his PAs against L and R hand pitching?
  12. Gonna leave it at, disagree strongly that anyone is starving Kyle Garlick. And disagree it makes sense to feed ABs to him just in case things go to hell in a handbasket and you're later left with no better options. He's carved out a small niche as a lefty masher. That's it. No reason to intentionally expand on that at the expense of LH hitters.
  13. Yeah, it's almost as annoying as the Mario Brothers game over sound they play at TF when an opponant K's.
  14. I'd say it's more like "Groundhog Day." But without, you know, the humor, good will, or redeeming resolution.
  15. GIven the current options, there isn't a lot Rocco can do, but Garlick should rarely if ever face a RH pitcher.
  16. Garlick should never see a RH pitcher, much less Garrett Cole, but given the options there isn't much Rocco can do. I'd take Garlick over Hamilton even if Garlick had a cast on one leg and two broken wrists.
  17. So with hunting season coming up, I'm reminded of a tragic story of two of my retired USAF friends. They were out hunting when one of them clutched his chest and fell to the ground, not visibly breathing. My other friend frantically called 911 and told the story. "I think he's dead!" he cried into the phone. The 911 operator told him "Well, the first thing we need to do is make sure he's actually dead." "One sec," my friend said, dropping the phone. A couple seconds later the 911 operator heard the sound of a gunshot. My friend came back on the phone. "That should do it," he said. "Now what?"
  18. Call me crazy, but a 1-0 lead feels...tenuous.
  19. Yeah I think he's probably due for a rebound, and honestly, where else are they gonna spend that money? He's a better player than he's shown this year.
