    Hopefully it's dense enough that they can't tell that they're playing the Yankees.

    I'm on the same boat. I do feel that this team improved over the winter, but I see last years team to be more like they were for the 5 months of the season not being August - an average team in a weak division that will beat up on poorer teams and get clobbered by the true playoff contenders. I think they still fit that description before the season as well as now. The WC game showed just how far this team still really needed to go. I think they took some steps and then hedged their bets on the young guys making a significant stride forward. Most of that hasn't panned out yet. I still think the potential is there, but it's hard to get past how inept they've been so far this season. I'm still hopeful that as things normalize that the team will normalize, but it's getting harder and harder to hang on to that thought process.

    So they should only try to improve one roster spot at a time? Why not bring up two or three guys to help out? With as much as the pen is getting used lately, fresh arms are hard to come by. That spot could also be filled with another bat off the bench, though that will have to come from AA or outside the organization I imagine. Duffey alone, even if he does become effective, isn't going to fix the pen. If you're trying to improve the bullpen, it'll take more than figuring out what to do with the 24th spot. That locked in spot and having/not having the ability to make multiple changes at a time makes that point very relevant. That's not even considering how it handcuffs the manager. They have younger guys in AAA that are pushing to be brought up. I'd rather they take their lumps now than in July or August. As I see it, Kinley is blocking their progression. In my view, it's really not worth taking a flier and tying up a roster spot on a 27 year old that has a fairly unimpressive resume in the minors when there are younger, more accomplished relievers in the minors ready to come up and contribute.

    If I had a K rate as high as sano, I'd be embarrassed. I hope he is too. He's got too much talent to let that continue like it has.
  6. wsnydes
    Yeah, that needs to be changed. Brutal scoring on that play.
  7. wsnydes
    Forecast for rain?
  8. wsnydes
    How does that back make it to the wall Grossman? Lucky he's still on first.
  9. wsnydes
    What do ya know...score one and then immediately give it right back.
  10. wsnydes
    Rather feable AB there.
  11. wsnydes
    And they're still winning...
  12. wsnydes
    Gee, you're swell mister!
  13. wsnydes
    So you're saying that I can have nachos again tonight?
  14. wsnydes
    Employ a pitching rotation full of Berrios' and re-sign Chris Giminez?
  15. wsnydes
    Man, you're such a tease! I was really looking forward to that drinking game! I'll just have to toast Berrios and wish him well tonight instead. That's a very worthy and worthwhile endeavor. Good thing that scotch doesn't last long enough in my house to go bad. Like Danchat said, it's good to see Kepler finally get moved up and Morrison finally moved down in the order.

    But that's the point. Kinley is locked in. He's not going anywhere and he isn't used. Moya's spot can be used to cycle through multiple relievers from the minors regardless of whether you use Moya or not. That spot, even when Moya holds it, has value for that reason alone. You can't do that with Kinley's spot. You get Kinley...that's the only option. If you aren't going to use Kinley, they may as well not even have that spot.
  17. wsnydes
    Don't listen to him and hate the Sox anyway!
  18. wsnydes
    To me, if they're going to keep Hughes around anyway, this is what makes the most sense. he's competent enough to burn multiple innings. Much more of a bullpen saver than Kinley, in my view.
  19. wsnydes
    Then what am I supposed to do with all of this extra Scotch that I bought for tomorrow?!
  20. wsnydes
    Come join the party! The guest list keeps getting longer by the inning!
  21. wsnydes
    Oh FFS...
  22. wsnydes
    Somebody is playing with fire. and people here think I'm a jinx...
  23. wsnydes
    So you're saying I'll need more Scotch for tomorrow? Even more than I would normally need anyway.
  24. wsnydes
    I'll use my empty Scotch bottle as a defense. I'll go down swinging just like my favorite squad. Also, I'd rather starve than eat Taco Bell.
  25. wsnydes
    There is that part, yes.
