    Grasping defeat from the clutches of victory 3 times in a 5 game set is rather disheartening, to say the least. Hell, grasping a losing series from the clutches of a sweep is even worse. Gotta do something about the pen.

    So, how 'bout that bullpen?!

    I see that you've spent a lot of time studying my golf game! Not sure if I should be flattered, frightened, or inclined to ask you for swing tips!

    All of you that don't want Pagan to pitch the 9th finally get your wish and you're still not happy! You guys are impossible to please!
  5. wsnydes
    Perhaps the two teams can work out a trade since Pagan is clearly working for the enemy anyway!

    Yes, it's hard to see Bundy losing his spot if he continues to pitch as well as he has the last few outings. Same with Archer. That question will likely work itself out somehow, it just remains to be seen.

    Nice bounce back game after blowing the early game. Great outing by Winder coming back up and I hope to see more of him. Bats did a pretty good job of adding on to the lead despite some more baserunning blunders. No ground lost or gained today. Not a bad thing. Congrats to Buxton for a new career high in HRs. Lots of time to keep adding to that mark! I'm looking for Bundy to keep piling on tomorrow.

    Target Field is an excellent concert venue, especially on a beautiful summer night. This isn't my cup o' tea, but I'm sure for those that it is will enjoy it. I am interested to see how they end up doing everything as far as setup though.

    Very winnable game lost on a couple of fronts. This team simply can't manufacture runs on a even a semi-consistent basis. As often as the pitching staff holds teams to 3 runs or fewer, this team wastes many of them by their inability to get runners across the plate without the benefit of the long ball. And the bullpen has to hold leads. It's so frustrating to see this team squander opportunities.

    This Pagan thing has grown tiresome...

    I'm partial to Tony Os cuban myself. If I have the time, the Red Cow sliders are my go to though. But they're literally about as far away as you can get from my seats, so they aren't something I'll get during the game unless I'm really craving them.

    His pitch arsenal plays much better in relief than as a starter. He looks like he can definitely stick with a bullpen role.

    Hard not to figure out what you're dealing with, especially with context! Thanks for the links!

    Haha, Stuff+? That's awesome. Hadn't heard of that one yet. But, I'm not one to dive deep into advanced metrics. That might be my new favorite though since it sounds so generic and made up! ?
  15. wsnydes
    I think ultimately it might boil down to how the rest of the pitching staff shakes out. I think both have the resume to make the squad, so it might come down to the need of reliever vs starter.

    Nice series win. Good momentum heading into a 5-game Cleveland set. Even a healthy-ish looking Buxton makes this team so much better. I'm glad the extra days off instead of an IL stint appears to be working in the teams' favor.
  17. wsnydes
    Everyone has been clamoring for more competent relievers, so we cloned one!
  18. wsnydes
    No, so you can bring me pie and we can all partake together instead of constantly taunting me with all of this pie talk!
  19. wsnydes
    Nice bounce back game after yesterday's debacle. Now let's get another W tomorrow and head into the Cleveland series with some momentum.
  20. wsnydes
    The bats absolutely have to get going. And going consistently. The focus has been on the bullpen, which isn't good, but this team can't score consistently. If the offense was as good as expected, this team would still have a decent lead in the division.

    Salvaged one in this series, got 5 more next week!

    Bring on the Rockies!

  22. wsnydes
    ha! That's crazy! That doesn't make me feel any better.
  23. wsnydes
    And that's fair. Probably too late for that at this point unless is gets worse though. He clearly wants to stay on the field and that's why he is fine with how they're approaching it. Tendonitis isn't a quick thing to get rid of. Especially in the knee. In my experience with that, rest and pain tolerance is about the only thing that can be done.
  24. wsnydes
    He's also said that he's fine with how they're managing his playing time due to the knee issue, acknowledging that it's keeping him on the field and off the IL. And that's likely because he likes the IL even less.

    I think this article shows the brilliance in the creativity involved to get a deal like this done. And that goes for both parties. Buxton is a unique situation where he's a superb talent, but also one that has missed significant time. Buxton has always bet on himself, and this contract is another example of that. Kudos for both sides seeing the reality of the situation and getting this done and hopefully it continues to reap benefits for both as well.
