  1. And you're going to project that he's somehow going to magically put that all behind him............ He is what he is until he ain't.
  2. You do realize that "who he is as a hitter" is a career .200 hitter who strikes out more than Sano? Right?
  3. "Prime" Kiriloff? Ain't quite sure what that is. He's a career .251 hitter with 11 career home runs. Projects to 17 home runs over 162 games but also that it will take three years for him to get to 162 games. Not holding my breath,
  4. If we grade trades by championships won then 90% of trades are lost by both teams.
  5. The thoughts need to be on how to score more runs. On pace for 638 runs which won't cut it.
  6. The only "roster crunch" likely to befall this squad is finding 26 healthy guys to dress each day.
  7. As bad as he was (or seemed last year) there have been a LOT of years when this team would have killed for relievers with a 4.43 ERA and 84 strikeouts in 63 innings.
  8. The best thing about these two games has been Correa and Buxton being in the lineup........
  9. Not shocking. We scored fewer than 700 runs last year and did nothing to improve our offense other than trade away the AL batting champion and HOPE for improved health. The trade has worked out well but the health, not so much.
  10. And best of all the names Cave & Garlick were never spoken in this article.
  11. If you could do a third of Buxton's job our problems would be solved. You can't.
  12. Thru two seasons 8 games is an eighth of his season. Let's get him over that hump and see how he looks.
  13. Larnach SHOULD be better than Wallner. Otherwise it would have been foolish for him to make the team out of camp.
  14. Pretty sure the concern is gonna mostly be how to get 9 healthy guys to write on the lineup card each day.
  15. Do you REALLY think that what we have done so far has no likelihood of portending what we might do going forward? Do you REALLY think that half a dozen games worth of production by a few guys is more likely to foreshadow what is to come than better than half a decade of production by others? The only FACT in play here is that they didn't score many runs last year, haven't scored many thus far this year and have shown nothing to make us inclined to think they might going forward, two games of Joey Gallo notwithstanding.
  16. Just because they made some moves doesn't mean those moves will make them better. You say the players you expected to produce are not doing so. Are there players you did NOT expect to produce? Aren't all players expected to produce every year?
  17. The only thing that counts is the math. Fewer than 700 runs last year and on pace for fewer this year. In spite of an unsustainable start by Sano Lite.
  18. This team scored fewer than 700 runs last year and did little to fix the offense. Our best pitcher has thrown ONE inning because he hurt himself sleeping?
  19. Those thinking an electronic pitch calling system will lead to considerably less controversy will be sadly mistaken.
  20. Actually it's NOT easy to evaluate whether a pitch is a strike on TV. Mostly for one big reason. Take a look at where the the strike zone is on TV and then go read the rule book as to where the strike zone actually is. Not even close. Most batters, the top of the TV strike zone is below the batter's belt. This will do little to improve accuracy of strike calls.
