    What the **** is going on with Gray?
  3. USAFChief
    Thanks. Watching on radio.
  4. USAFChief
    Any chance of a 3-6-3 there?
  5. USAFChief
    Can't really afford to give up more here.
  6. USAFChief
    Nobody will ever convince me RBI aren't the most important thing you can do as a hitter.
  7. USAFChief
    Bases loaded bottom 1, nothing. Then 2 consecutive innings with runners on 3rd with no out...nothing. Godawful.
  8. USAFChief
    Sigh...
  9. USAFChief
    If you'd have been home in time for 1st pitch it'd be scoreless. Thanks a lot!

    I think that's a "cross that bridge if/when we come to it" situation. There's any number of things that could affect the 40 man by September.

    You're forgetting some intended Dodger pen pieces, including Blake Trienen, Tommy Kahnle, and Daniel Hudson. Mitch White probably if not for Buehler's injury. Your waiver wires aren't there without IL stints to the above. Teams serious about their pen shouldnt start the season with half or more coming from waiver pickups and MiLB free agents. Or at the least need to be better at picking identifying those guys than we've been. In any case, as I said at the time...didn't like the Rogers trade, and I don't think it's just an unfortunate accident that it's turned out badly so far. I bet if you could get Falvine to discuss privately they'd admit it was a mistake.

    Agree to disagree on the rest, but... 1. You'll need to reword this because I'm not a good enough reader to get your point here. 2. You have me confused with someone else. I most certainly am not "on here constantly complaining about starters not going deep into games." In fact, I've said repeatedly one of the things like about Baldelli is he doesn't "Molitor" and wait until the damage is done before removing his starter. I might have questioned a single instance here or there. But I'm not complaining because they're not trying to squeeze more out of weak starters. Just the opposite. But....that only emphasizes the need for a deep quality bullpen. 5. Treating the bullpen with respect means adding quality options every chance you get, rather than throwing waiver wire claims at the wall hoping something sticks. Recognizing that bullpens have gotten more and more critical as starters have gotten less and less...particularly for your own team, without a single 200 IP guy and none in sight. Devote some resources. Dont trade your best resource the day prior to your opener.

    3 options for Winder in the second half? It 2 now, I guess.

    1. Fair. But trading for Paddack was clearly a bigger health gamble than normal. Big enough that at least one other team declined to trade for him this spring, if we believe reports on the matter. 2. True. But relievers the talent level of Rogers don't grow on trees. In any case the Twins DIDN'T add talent, they only subtracted. Add to that timing...it's tough to add talent the day before the season starts and almost impossible once opening day arrives until midseason. 3. Disagree. Id be thrilled to still have Rogers. Good pitchers sometimes give up runs. That doesn't mean they're no longer good. You have to throw the ball over the plate, this isnt the NFL where you can run out the clock with a lead. MLB hitters will sometimes hit. Josh Hader has given up runs in (I believe) 4 consecutive outings as of yesterday. Would having Hader also add to our bullpen problems? 4. True enough. And they'd still need help had they not traded Rogers. That doesn't excuse the trade, it just makes it worse. 5. Concur. I also hope they start treating the bullpen with the respect and effort it deserves in future offseasons.
