  1. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
  2. I think he has with the bat, but there are probably better defensive options at the positions he plays best, 2B and 3B. I want no part of him in LF. The one thing he does provide as a backup is a competent backup at 2B and 3B. He can reliably be cycled in and out of the lineup at either position, plus DH and be a good bench bat when he's not playing. He should get plenty of playing time that way with the way Rocco rests players. That's not a bad thing, IMO.
  3. Kershaw v Paddack?  If only the weather was this NL West-esque.

  4. Excellent write up! Great to see Lewis come out of the gate on fire. Wish Martin was too, but it's still early on both accounts.
  5. "The top prospect reached base five times on the back of three walks, a double, and a homer. He also flashed some leather with an excellent play rolling to his right." I'd love to see a lot more of this, Mr. Lewis.
  6. I'm really looking for Lewis and SWR have good years. That would be huge for this franchise. Nice to see them highlighted here.
  7. Closer among them, or at least a closer type, but hardly even close to the only thing. That is for sure.
  8. Hample's is an interesting story. I've heard of him, but was unaware of the film. It's nice to see his story get out. He's got an interesting way to connect to the game, so it's kinda neat to see that there's a film out there.
  9. The pitching has held up their end of the bargain thus far. It's the bats that have faltered. That isn't likely to be sustained. It's only been two games. I still don't trust the pitching, but they're doing their job through two whole games.
  10. I'd say the casting director did a pretty good job on this one!
  11. The guy has a .545 winning percentage as a manager. Even if he's just robotically following a game plan, clearly it's working more than it's not.
  12. Out of curiosity, does anyone know what Duffey's numbers are against the first three batters he faced? @Otto von Ballpark?
  13. in play, run(s) please!!!!!!!

      Now I need more again...

  14. I'm going to be concerned about the pitching until proven otherwise. One game doesn't shake that concern. Accordingly, quiet bats after one game doesn't create a concern. Especially considering it came against the reigning Cy Young winner. There are clearly some things to get excited about though. Ryan having a good outing after a shaky start is a good sign. Duran looks filthy. And I'm just glad to see baseball again. So, there's also that!
  15. Join the game thread. I'm in the same boat so I'll listen on the radio or follow gamecast and follow the game thread. Not quite the same, but usually a good time.
  16. Now to figure out a way to get a supply in...
  17. I predict that I'll be cold and miserable and loving every second of it!
  18. Or even one, or more, of the starting prospects to jump into the big leagues to try to stabilize the pen. I don't mind this move either, but I think this probably forces even more creativity in pitcher use over the course of this season. I don't know that I like that, but I don't necessarily dislike it either. I have to see how it evolves.
  19. Looking to stirrup a bit of chaos with all of those horse puns?
  20. They have plenty of options to fill in for Larnach. And they could even get someone in return to fill that somewhat immediate need.
  21. Great to see Lewis on the field again. Also good to hear that there was no apparent favoring of the knee. Hopefully that holds up over the season. And I think I'll take 1 for 4 with a couple of K's in his first real game action in 2 years.
  22. I think he has a pretty decent chance to be pretty effective in that setup as well.
  23. I mean, this seems like as good a reason as any! I'm on board! With our collective wills, it's bound to work!
