    Obviously these things happen over the years, like Knoblauch losing all ability to throw the baseball. It's still fascinating and frustrating how someone can have a mechanical breakdown like this. How does this happen?

    What was your favorite "Buxton/Sano Era" moment?
  3. Vanimal46
    Yep. Multiple reporters posted the same thing. Good. He's been flat out embarrassing the entire season.

    Next time they need to get women and children out of the first few rows of the stands just in case... Copyright Dark Star talking about Frankie Franchise.

    Batters 4-9 in the lineup last night went 1-21 with 9 K, 8 LOB... And frankly they should have been 0-21 if Morrison didn't get that gift bloop single. No opposing pitcher should be intimidated by any hitter in the lineup past the Eddies.

    As we saw last night, he has a rocket arm in RF!

    Sigh... Reed has really hurt the team this year. Probably wouldn't hurt to, you know, try someone else in close, late inning games. Same story, different day with this offense.
  9. Vanimal46
    Which is the biggest problem. Less Berrios starts makes Van a sad boy.

    You ride out Romero as long as you can this year. No innings limit unless he shows fatigue later on. He's a fairly young guy with a great arm. Time to take off the training wheels.

    No one can debunk this! Super Bowl homeboy!
  12. Vanimal46
    Not a fan of this move at all. Especially so after Seth highlighted the success Busenitz, Moya, and Curtiss are having in Rochester.
  13. Vanimal46
    This is an awesome opportunity! Wish I could take advantage of it... If anyone is going and willing to get a picture signed for me I would pay for shipping, handling, and gratuity.

    I generally don't care about minor league team records. However, given how much CR was hyped before the season their record is concerning.
  15. Vanimal46
    Stewart is looking strong in June after 2 disastrous starts to finish out May.
  16. Vanimal46
    The bullpen needs to be fixed. Give time for Pressly and Reed to reset because clearly both have lost the feel of their pitches. They're both still on pace for 90+ appearances which is unsustainable over the course of the season.
  17. Vanimal46
    Ed Ham. That's a STRONG name! Congrats!
  18. Vanimal46
    Where's Denny Hocking now? Posting on this site of course! For quite a while now...
  19. Vanimal46
    I would push back if I saw it on threads I read... Unfortunately with the new job and life responsibilities I don't have the time I once did posting on the site!

    Through 58 games, Molitor is constantly relying on 3 pitchers to get the team out of jams... Ryan Pressly - 32 appearances and consistently relied on to go 1+ innings Addison Reed - 29 appearances also consistently relied on to go 1+ innings Hildenberger - 28 appearances 1+ innings at a time Continuing to ride 3 arms for 50% of games is unsustainable over the course of a season. This isn't anything new. Molitor does this every single season riding the hot arm(s) until they break down. Instead of wearing them out over a 2 month period then see them struggle until they recover, he should work in other pitchers. Maybe we could get a full season of good Pressly if that were the case.
  21. Vanimal46
    It also doesn't help when you can look at a lineup on any day and see one or more of Petit, Wilson, Grossman, and LaMarre. These are not players you can count on if you want to be a contending team.
  22. Vanimal46
    Sano and Buxton have to play better than this. No doubt about it. Perhaps our expectations were set way too high for these two players. They've been touted as saviors for the team since 2013... It seems like every year the legend grows how great they are going to be.
  23. Vanimal46
    Exactly. Molitor is wearing him out like he does every season with 2-3 pitchers. Not even the immortal Bryan Shaw can handle the pace Pressly is on.
  24. Vanimal46
    That's digging deep to find a metric Escobar could win at. Any interest in betting that Escobar will beat out Dozier in HRs, OPS, bWAR and fWAR?
  25. Vanimal46
    Let's forget Dozier has out produced Escobar every single year and focus on the first 60 games this year. Got it. I would confidently bet a lot of money Dozier out produces Escobar this season again.
