No surprise that Correa is back thriving in Houston. .974 OPS in 11 games with them. The only reason it was correct to trade him now is if our training staff was convinced he is damaged goods. Doesn’t appear so at this point in time.
I hope Falvey is learning a valuable lesson that the mass training of minor league pitchers to be nothing but “bulk” pitchers is going to get him fired. Length is needed at the highest level.
I know some people here have been wanting a piggy back type of pitching staff for years and it almost never works out in reality. A manager is left with burning the entire bullpen, or letting 1 guy be the sacrificial lamb. Hatch had no business soaking up that many innings but here we are.
Falvey needs to go immediately after this season.
We are in complete alignment on this. It’s why firing Falvey is my top priority. He’s literally setting up our pitching prospects to fail at the MLB level.
I read about the group led by Morneau and Mauer buying the team but I don’t think either one made that much in their playing days to do it. Reminds me of Major League 2 where Roger Dorn couldn’t afford payroll by July
Not streaming yet… If you like movies with jump scares but overall a funny movie, go see “Weapons” in a theater. Truly one of the most bizarre movies I’ve seen, but a perfect blend of horror and comedy. I want to see it again whenever it lands on a streaming service
Agreed. Though I think there was going to be another prospect added to that deal from the Dodgers. Original report said Outman and more. Then we had the 2.5 hour delay before it was finalized. Which leads me to believe Stewart’s medical report is so bad, they took the other prospect off the trade.
The Pohlads aren’t forward thinking at all so it’s a moot point. But I hope the next owner is and takes chances to lock in young talent. That’s how the Braves built a great team, minus this year when injuries were too much to overcome.
Wishful thinking I know with the ownership situation. But around the league more teams are locking in young, exciting talent. Keaschall just might be one of those type of players like Anthony, Chourio, etc.
