    Yeah, I'm with Parker Hageman on Team #NoBunt so I agree with you. They needed someone who could put the ball in play, find a hole, and Buxton scores easily from 2nd base. I was disappointed Baldelli left Kepler in and swing away when he's not seeing the ball well. Plus, Brad Hand is elite against LH batters.

    It's a long season, and any week finishing over .500 should make us feel good. The starting staff did their jobs very well. It's a fair question to ask why Baldelli didn't utilize his larger than normal bench in the 7th and 9th inning during the 2nd game. That's the only quibble I have so far in the season.

    Also, CJ Cron... Woof. It's going to take me a while to warm up to him.

    Baldelli had a chance to use his bench and pinch hit for Kepler in the 9th, who's not seeing the ball well. Rumor has it on the bench is a turtle who never strikes out and a strong contact hitter... I'm walking away disappointed in Baldelli's decisions today.

    Magic Number: 162

    I think this 'Vulnerable' storyline is totally overblown with this team. As Tom said their rotation is incredible. They don't have to try all that hard to get 90 wins with that rotation.

    Sigh... May can't catch a break.

    Doc could really use an opener... He has a tough go of it the third time finishing a paragraph!

    Now it's 4.3 years of service because they were willing to extend him. Is it an overpay for players that slotted in at #14/15 on the prospect list? I'm still not thrilled about the trade.

    Romero sent to AAA today. Now what? Doesn't he still need innings (ideally starter innings) to develop?
  11. Vanimal46
    Moya will start the year on the IL as well.
  12. Vanimal46
    Concur. Even if it's true that he'll be picked up, I don't really care. He won't be a big loss.
  13. Vanimal46
    Trade Austin to Baltimore, AKA the AAA team cleverly disguised as an MLB team. Pop on the bench is nice, but not sure I trust bringing in a hitter off the bench that strikes out 30+% of the time.

    How does Duffey still have options left?
  15. Vanimal46
    Having one trade deadline forces teams to make decisions instead of drag their feet until August. And it creates urgency to make trades in May/June (gasp!) if the team is competitive.
  16. Vanimal46
    Can we implement this immediately and sign Big Sexy?
  17. Vanimal46
    Did you eat anything from the concession stand yet? Did John Bonnes clean out the BBQ stand?
  18. Vanimal46
    Concur. I like the roster reduction to 28 players in September the most. While it eliminates the cute stories like James Beresford getting a cup of coffee, it should keep teams honest and competitive.
  19. Vanimal46
    I'll be interested to see how teams utilize the extra roster spot next year. It does give additional value to bat first 1B/DH types who've otherwise been phased out of baseball.
  20. Vanimal46
    Best concession stand item you've ate so far at Hammond?
  21. Vanimal46
    Sano update.
  22. Vanimal46
    Spring training... The few times in life where you can have it both ways. Perez does well the other day and we hear he's turned the corner. Nothing's gonna stop us now!! Odorizzi gets shelled yesterday and we hear no worries! He's just working on stuff.

    Next time you want to waste money you can give me $20 instead

    How is this different than Lance Lynn last off-season? Keuchel entered the market anticipating a long term deal and he's most likely on the sidelines mad it hasn't happened. Falvine specifically said this offseason they want to avoid making the same mistakes last year, signing players late in ST that didn't get the long term deal they were hoping for.

    So you like PP over Sheryl... That don't impress ah me much!
