    In play, (no) run(s)
  2. wsnydes
    Honesty, the best policy.

    That lead was fun while it lasted.
  4. wsnydes
    Too soon!
  5. wsnydes
    This pleases me.
  6. wsnydes
    Sage advice, indeed! I'm in a "living dangerously" mode this morning.
  7. wsnydes
    What if I want to take the rest of the quiz anyway?
  8. wsnydes
    No Correa again. Anyone know anything more about this heel of his? Here's to hoping that Wallner can get off the schneid!

    Patience is typically required for player performance. If you sign a guy and he struggles, whether you're tweaking something or not, you should give them time to try to work through it. It's easier to cut a guy than replace them. Nobody is going to be the same player for 162 games. Nobody. Obviously the greats are better and quicker at getting back to form, but that's what makes them great. And if you're tweaking a guys motion or swing, it's not reasonable to just cut them loose before that player has a chance to get comfortable with the tweak. That said, there are definitely instances where this FO has held on too long. They have have solid reasoning to do so, but we don't always know what that is. Pagan is a clear instance of that. Shoemaker and Happ are others, but I'm not sure I would go with a blanket statement that they're unwilling to admit mistakes in general.

    HBP and errors are still options. So, there's that!
  12. wsnydes
    It's not very much fun.
  13. wsnydes
    I'd have gone a different route myself, but it's reasonable to expect that anyone brought in would throw strikes. Rocco can't throw the ball for these guys. They've got to perform.

    Don't ask the pitchers... they don't know either.

    I just hope that Wallner learned a thing or two from his first callup this year. It would be great to see that he did.
  16. wsnydes
    Larnach to the IL with pneumonia, Wallner up.
  17. wsnydes
    At this point, you kind of have to give him a shot right? If you're going to say during the offseason that you're relying on the in-house depth and options, you don't leave yourself much of a choice. It's going to be time to sink or swim for some of these guys.
  18. wsnydes
    I noticed that too and I wondered the same. It seems odd to say, but I hope that's the idea.
  19. wsnydes
    Good to see Buxton in there again today. Did I hear right that Larnach is sick? Would have been nice to get him in the lineup today.

    I think the Arraez factor is overstated. I liked him, but he's a table setter. Table setters still need someone to drive them in. Nobody else in the lineup is hitting, so I don't think he's the cure-all that some want him to be. He'd most often just end up another notch in the LOB column. His presence wouldn't make this lineup a legitimate contending lineup. There are more pieces needed than an Arraez. I agree with those that say Lewis can provide a spark, but it'll still take Kirilloff and Larnach, among others, to really bring the lineup around.
  22. wsnydes
    Sure but he's only coming up 4 times a game. Someone still has to drive him in.
  23. wsnydes
    Correct. Which is my point. Plus, table setters only help if someone will actually drive them in.
  24. wsnydes
    He's not turning this team into a legitimate offense. I liked him, but his presence isn't the fix-all some want to make it
  25. wsnydes
    I don't really find it entertaining to sit and wait for the inevitable death by crap pitching though. Good pitching will keep you in games too. It's a pick your poison scenario, obviously. Pretty good talker.
