    The tone of the whole thing deadline would be so much different if Varland and maybe Jax would've been kept. It was like some trades added to try to disguise the salary purge
  2. lukeduke1980
    As head spinning as the day was I guess I agree. I'm annoyed that Correa gets his way and will probably start hitting. Varland I would have kept but he's older than I thought so they might have considered him an injury risk or something. Bring on the Michael Tonkin all stars we'll see how they respond.

    Try the Scott Klingenback days

    To all that said 'Fire Rocco at least because you can't fire all the players' Falvey: 'Hold my beer'

    Duran too expensive next year?
  6. lukeduke1980
    Do we really have to do the opener just let him start I don't see the point

    Has anyone put together a projected 2026 payroll? I know new ownership can reset the expectation, but wouldn't expect a drastic increase. Just curious if that influences the need to trade these players

    The walk to the Ruiz character was the deciding factor. Essentially 4 of 5 pitches bounced to the plate. Willi Castro too, 1st pitch gidp after 3 straight walks, albeit a new pitcher. I say trade away the spare parts.

    Tv off

    Futility with runners on base
  11. lukeduke1980
    Was there any comment on the Willi Castro play? Like he just fell down and decided not to run?

    Insurance for Jonah Bride
  13. lukeduke1980
    That'll do

    'Offense is the black hole right now led by a 35 million dollar player batting .217. Correa will heat up. The positional depth is probably thinner than we'd like but everyone knows our constraints. Jouliens and Miranda's need to step up for this to work and they haven't. We're going to keep at it because our pitching keeps us in a lot of games.' I think that's all Falvey would need to say

    I don't love the current state of affairs but I do prefer it to the starting pitching black holes of the 90s and post santana 2010s. Not crazy about Rocco's platoon split insistence but at least it's a strategy. Turns out it's probably not a major competitive advantage, time to try something else. Don't love Correa's contract but I was glad we signed a known player. Team needs a youth infusion maybe hopefully the young guys make it happen.

    Agreed - my favorite synopsis to date
  17. lukeduke1980
    Pull him
  18. lukeduke1980
    A lot of good posts here that resonate. Star power has put butts in seats before despite costs. It's just not there.
  19. lukeduke1980
    You can watch all this excitement for the low price of $20/month
  20. lukeduke1980
    Getting him back before the deadline will be like making a trade
  21. lukeduke1980
    Hair dresser is not in the budget. Comb away the gray
  22. lukeduke1980
    A big swing might be position changes for Correa and Buxton. Maybe 1B for Correa LF Buxton, to try to minimize impact on their bodies. Not advocating but there's some precedent.
  23. lukeduke1980
    Loved this - see 2009 as game 163 was just written about. Orlando Cabrera made that team go.
  24. lukeduke1980
    Along with the contraction speak I expect we're not far from 'You know...Target Field is 14 years old and isn't generating enough revenue...we need a new one'
  25. lukeduke1980
    I thought this was a great piece. Well written. I think on top of accessibility, growing apathy has been fueled by lack of star power, driven by injuries, performance, development, strategy. I'm afraid the team probably has to make some smart trades to get some impact youth, and then pray for health, and then let them play baseball.
