    Why Sano at 3B and Ehire at 1B instead of the reverse? I don't get it. I don't think Sano turns that triple play last night. I'm not sure if he even fields it at all.

    Certainly may well have had Schoop give it a shot since his AB's were worthless anyway.

    I'd do the MadBaum/Smith package for anything within reason that doesn't include Lewis/Graterol and then add Ian Kennedy. The Grienke option is intriguing but how many years are left?

    Thank God he ignored that foolish advice to bunt.

    I'm guessing this being announced means Buxton will not be activated. That's not a good sign.
  6. howeda7
    They are trying to hide behind "equal time" as the reason. I call BS.
  7. howeda7
    Sano should not play 3B again until Cron is back. Playing him at 3B with Adrianza (or Gonzalez) at 1B is dumb. He's been brutal at 3rd.
  8. howeda7
    This is true. But how do you call it out, when the media is complicit in it?

    I agree on healthcare. Because while the Dems have different plans (and Sanders/Warren's plan is not what we need), the GOP has no plan. Their plan was "Repeal Obamacare!" but no plan for what comes after. They'll be the dog that caught the car. And they're getting awfully close to catching it.

    After a nice two month mirage, Odorizzi is very much as he was last year. Grind through 5 innings. Throw 100 pitches. 2-3 ER. Not terrible. But not worth the $$.
  11. howeda7
    I believe he's had missed time with elbow pain in two different places in the last month. So...yes?

    Don't offer to use the seller's realtor. It seems like a way to save 3% and share the savings. But they won't. And they won't represent you equally. Also be wary of blanket waivers like them asking you to wave any home inspection items under $1,000. They will frequently low-ball the cost of some repairs, and even if they don't 4-5 $800 items adds up fast.

    I think we need to stop pretending that's a meaningful distinction. What's the difference if he "really believes" the things he says and does if he still says and does them?
  14. howeda7
    Exactly. There's plenty of overlap between policy and the morality argument. And if he's truly going with this as his election strategy, there will be a lot more to come. There's also the massive corruption all around him in his cabinet.
  15. howeda7
    Do we really want to take a chance on Giles elbow? If it blows up, he's done for next year too.
  16. howeda7
    I agree. I figure Odorizzi is going to cost something in the 3/$45 range and Gibson 3/$36. I'd much rather have Gibson. Even if the cost is the same, I'd still lean Gibson.
  17. howeda7
    First 2 hitters should bunt and make him field.
  18. howeda7
    I know. But how many of those have been multiple base runner tight-rope innings? I usually fast forward through his innings for health reasons, but I don't think there's been more than 2-3 123 innings.
  19. howeda7
    TK used to do this with Terry Ryan, but they were a forced marriage. If Rocco is having to do this with the guys who hired him 8 months ago, that's a problem.
  20. howeda7
    I'll gladly take 1 win in this series and a 2 game lead on Thursday morning.
  21. howeda7
    Why not DFA Parker and bait them into claiming him instead?
  22. howeda7
    I saw a tweet series from the guy who ran multiple campaigns against David Duke that said explicitly the opposite. (Might be the same in the OP, if so apologies, I can't see the link for some reason). Basically, the key was not to normalize him by debating policy with him or criticizing his policy failures or other petty personal stuff. His supporters are locked in. They don't give a $%^ about your healthcare policy or your infrastructure plan. Even the ones who might know they got taken the first time won't admit it and will vote for him again. The few who do realize it don't need to be persuaded. They've probably already switched sides. The answer is to get people off the sideline who didn't vote last time. This is also not done with policy wonk. It is done by making the election about getting the racist out of the White House. About who we are as a country and who we want to be. Not saying this take is right. But I can't really argue with it. I would say this: Make the primary about policy. But make the general election about Trump.

    May

    Does May have an option left? He could use a mental reset in AAA.
  24. howeda7
    This is the crux of our disagreement. I'm not paying a player with 3 + years of service time assuming he will do something he's never done. He's also never sustained reasonable offensive production for more than 2-3 months at a time, and always takes awhile to get it going again when coming back from injuries.
  25. howeda7
    I would definitely do that deal. Do the Jays have a lefty reliever they can throw in too?
