  1. It’s not difficult to change these rules at the end of the season. So will they and how? If they don’t they don’t see this as an issue, and maybe it’s not, maybe this year is, as I said, an anomaly. But if they want to change the rules, it won’t be difficult. The teams that picked up players are still trying to win and still have a chance to win THIS year. That Cleveland is still in it is the fault of the Twins, imo. If they didn’t have a chance, they wouldn’t have done it. The teams that were worse didn’t feel they could compete to the end, is my guess.
  2. The question still remains … will these rules be adjusted somehow, and how, after the season is over. A couple of teams shouldn’t be allowed to claim everyone, imo, so just wondering if rules will be adjusted in some way … like one claim then to the end of the line. Don’t even know the best way around it. Or just leave it as it is thinking that this year is an anomaly.
  3. No. He is a shell of his former self, sadly for him. He will not help us through the next month and into the playoffs, should we make it.
  4. yeah ... wondering how soon after the season is over these rules change ... claim one, back to the end of the line. It's like the Guardians knew exactly who the Twins would target ... shocking (not at all)
  5. I don’t think anyone is satisfied with that as the goal and I don’t think it is the goal despite the outcome. The goal is always to win it all. But I’d also rather win the division every year than be at the bottom of it every year. That is being competitive. We might not like that as the only outcome or result and I’d rather have more, but I’d still rather win something every year, even if not the grand prize, than lose every year. Winning something puts you in the position to win more. Losing just makes you a loser.
  6. But we wouldn't even be in that position if others had done their jobs to begin with. As I just said, this isn't all on him, not even close. But you make it sound like it is. It isn't. He's not a great manager but he is far from the worst.
  7. Why do you pile on unnecessarily? Seriously ... is Rocco a great manager? No. I don't think anyone thinks he is. But you make it sound like he's the absolute worst thing in baseball. There is no one person to blame for this loss. There are several. And I don't even think the manager is at the top of the list, but he's in there somewhere. But this all or nothing take on the it's all the manager is just old and not even correct, imo.
  8. Yeah … consolation Blizzard coming up … 🫤
  9. Yeah, Duran is either tired or the league has figured him out or something or all of the above 🙁
  10. So are you … tone it down just a bit. I know it’s frustrating, but keep it friendly here
  11. I think it’s one of those things with Gray … 6 of one … I’m squiffy on both the BP and sending Gray back
  12. He does talk to his pitchers, but I’m not sure if he leaves it up to them. It was the right move to take him out at that point, imo.
  13. This is why Gray gets pulled early in games
  14. It is, but gotta imagine Luplow is gone soon, and Gallo perhaps not far behind … I mean, we have too many coming back, something’s gotta give, especially on the 40-man if they add anyone before the Sept. 1 deadline
  15. Hmmm … and now Gallo has been lifted
  16. I feel sorry for the players ... what a sucky business
  17. So. Team claims them all, then what? If they can’t work a deal for them, can they be ‘put back out there’ for another team to then claim? I’ve forgotten how this works as I don’t recall seeing this many out there like this
  18. Annnnnd ... rebooting an old story ... really, we've talked this one to death on here.
  19. The good of it ... just 2 runs ... and there will be no more from the Guardians
