    I think not winning any/many blowouts is a weakness, though could be imaginary or a product of offense being down in baseball. Seemingly every game is close. The ultimate bullpen protector is putting up some crooked numbers early and letting Cole Sands pitch the final 3 innings.

    When guys have prolonged slumps it usually comes out after the season that they were nursing a sore something. That said, if he ends season with 50 rbis and a handful of playoff wins, all is forgiven
  3. lukeduke1980
    How many years of control of Lopez?
  4. lukeduke1980
    Post of the year
  5. lukeduke1980
    Guardians tied their game in extras
  6. lukeduke1980
    We dont bunt except with a rookie in the 9th against a guy throwing 100
  7. lukeduke1980
    So Buxton bats in the 9th?
  8. lukeduke1980
    And aaron Sanchez will be dfa'd tomorrow even though he's had one of the best starts of anyone in a month
  9. lukeduke1980
    Correa might be picking up an option year if he finishes hitting in the 260s
  10. lukeduke1980
    I think my expectations have changed a little based on Falveys quotes from the weekend. 'The goal each year is to win the Central Division Championship'.
  11. lukeduke1980
    I think Anthony bass, and a usable backup catcher. Nothing else really, prices will be too high. I expect a quiet deadline, rush at the end a lot of teams waiting on Soto. Soto to SF.
  12. lukeduke1980
    This game felt similar to ChiSox series before AS game
  13. lukeduke1980
    I agree but teams like that need to catch lightning in a bottle. If Sano was traded and if he got hot it would be something to package as hope in the offseason. Sano joins Kebryan Hayes and O'Neil Cruz. Coming from someone once excited for the Butch Huskey acquisition.
  14. lukeduke1980
    A team like Pittsburgh should take a flyer on Sano, but likely wouldn't give up much knowing dfa is a possibility
  15. lukeduke1980
    Unless they're getting a shortstop in return then there's no trade happening. Like Seattle says we're going for it and includes JP Crawford with some pitching
  16. lukeduke1980
    I think this team can win a playoff game. That is a very important step to me. Next year Lewis might be able to replace Correa, but who knows. I would shore up this team any way I could. Cleveland and Chicago likely smell blood and might also make moves. Imagine South Side Soto.
  17. lukeduke1980
    We'll get him on third time through the order
  18. lukeduke1980
    ...and then the White Sox series happened...
  19. lukeduke1980
    3rd time through the order
  20. lukeduke1980
    Rogers showed in previous years to be ineffective on back to back days. So in a year where you're adding Correa why not live with Rogers as bullpen guy 1B in a walk year. Duran and Rogers. FO was right on Duran, so kudos for that.
  21. lukeduke1980
    I think Pagan can contribute. I might even use him in the playoffs, but it be nice to have some other options so you could have a quick hook if he started an inning walk, double
  22. lukeduke1980
    A surprise to me is the anguish of trusting the process. As a whole its the best pitching staff in some time, including some homegrown in Winder, Jax, Duran. Its sometimes just agonizing to see a starter that's dealing be pulled after 4. But, 1st place.
  23. lukeduke1980
    Nice
  24. lukeduke1980
    I think Baltimore has made a nice attempt to become bullpen serious
  25. lukeduke1980
    Really tough 9 pitch at bat by Arraez in the 9th set the stage. The guy is brilliant
