    I don’t care if Ehire Adrianza OPS’d 2.000 over the last week. He’s a weak hitter, he’s not going to get much better, and no matter what his last 20 PAs were, his next 300 will be weak.

    I don’t understand complaining about the lineup on one hand, and turning up our collective noses at potential improvements on the other. Short of Sano/Buxton magically turning a corner, where are we expecting longer and better lineups to come from?
  3. USAFChief
    Even if you believe his current. 708 OPS is indicative of his ability, that is currently higher than both Grossman and Sano, among others. I don't know if it makes sense, but for the MLB minimum, on a team desperately in need of bats--particularly RH bats--its not the worst idea in the world either. The division is sitting there for the taking. Do SOMEthing ferpetesake.

    Sano and Buxton simply have to hit for this team to be really good. I don’t blame Falvine for that. But, that isn’t to say they can’t be held accountable for other issues. There is no bench, and there wasn’t much to start the season. And these are the lineups you get when you start the season with no bench, and precious little in AAA that can help.

    I counted four balls tonight that hit Garver in the glove that he didn’t catch, including the SB in the first that led directly to Seattle’s first run. That should happen once a month, maybe. Multiple pitches that he stabbed at. I don’t think he can be the primary catcher. Catcher is just too important. He handles every pitch that isn’t put in play.

    BTW, our dog when I was a young boy-Aware Wolf-was a female. I remember one time I took her uptown, and wouldn't you know it, she stopped walking, plopped down, and had puppies right there on the sidewalk. Our town cop was such a jerk. He came by and yelled at me for 10 minutes, and then gave Aware Wolf a ticket. ... ... For littering.
  7. USAFChief
    Positively, you can.

    It's actually World Wine Century. Enjoy!

    It couldn't be more obvious they don't like his catching skills. From what I've seen, I agree with them. Unfortunately, Bobby Wilson isn't any kind of long term answer either. Bite the bullet, do what it takes to get Realmuto here.

    You're there right now.

    I think if you want an improved club, you should find someone better than what you've got.

    Cats are better than dogs??? Can they do THIS? Case closed.
  14. USAFChief
    Speaking of dogs... When I was a young boy, we had a large, somewhat wild canine that, believe it or not, meditated. ... ... ... We named him "Aware Wolf." http://stories.barkpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/doglaugh.jpg

    He might not be good, but my hat's off to anyone who is still pitching in the big leagues in their mid-40's. Bravo sir, Bravo.

    "The Mariners had Cano and Dee Gordon. Now 2B is a hole?" A whole what?

    Who's eyesight might be starting to fail me. Fair warning: though pain'd in these old creaky joints I can still assess thrashings and points Or perhaps with a permanent banning simply nail ye.
  18. USAFChief
    my gripe with Danny Santana was after his rookie season he put up OPS+ of 46, 64, 56, 56, 56. He couldn't hit, even a little. Maybe Carter is done, but he's a better offensive player than Danny Santana. He may or may not be more help than Grossman as a DH.
  19. USAFChief
    and sliding feet first is bow you break your ankle. Taking a pitch off the wrist is how you break your wrist, should we not send players up to hit? I think you play the game hard and accept there are always injury risks. In a case like this, a headfirst slide away from the catcher might even have less chance of injury, since it minimizes the chance of contact.
  20. USAFChief
    If Mauer is out longer than 10 days, Morrison is at first. There are DH ABs open, and you might see Carter suck some of those up. One of LaMarre/Cave goes back to AAA, Grossman goes back to primarily spelling corner OFers and pinch hitting.
  21. USAFChief
    winner.
  22. USAFChief
    A bit on the skimpy side, but better.
  23. USAFChief
    Carter .768 Grossman .723
  24. USAFChief
    What are those god-awful green things, and the little white things, in among the delicious dead and seared animal flesh?? Good gracious, how some people eat!
  25. USAFChief
    Carter 108, Grossman 100.
