9/14 vs Yanks Game 2

[mvp 78]

TBD vs Schmidt

 

1-0 since firing Bloom.

[Bellhorn04]

Another 2 game swing game, mvp!

[Bellhorn04]

A pitcher named Tommy Belladonna might have the nickname "TBD".

No. We’d call him Scraps…

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Stanton may be the highest paid one tool player in the history of baseball.

[jad]

Wow. I guess the old adage about 'the ball will find you' is true.

[FredLynn]

Game over

This team absolutely sucks

[FredLynn]

Can we get rid of Bernie right now?

[jad]

Can we get rid of Bernie right now?

 

Trade him for Stanton?

[FredLynn]

Trade him for Stanton?

 

Just show him the same door Bloom went out by.

[moonslav59]

Can we get rid of Bernie right now?

 

Shoulda done i when his stock was higher.

[FredLynn]

It’s fine to lose the rest of the games-except when we’re playing the Yankees.

[FredLynn]

Shoulda done i when his stock was higher.

 

Agreed

The management never decided which way to go at the deadline. They became catatonic, neither buyers nor sellers. And it cost them.

Bernardino realized his career was over after Bloom was fired.

He’ll probably be picked up by the A’s or Rays and have a sub 3 ERA next year.

[FredLynn]

So who plays CF next year? Duran or Rafaela? And what becomes of the other guy?

[Randy Red Sox]

Who are these scrub pitchers we are using tonite.. who is Robertson and who is Weiss. Great pitching finds by the late Chaim Bloom

Rafaela is a CFer. Duran is not.

[FredLynn]

Rafaela is a CFer. Duran is not.

 

Duran had a pretty good year. If he’s not in CF he has to be traded if Rafaela is our CF.

[moonslav59]

Duran had a pretty good year. If he’s not in CF he has to be traded if Rafaela is our CF.

 

With Yoshi moving to DH, Duran and his defense might be best served in LF.

Robertson was obtained by trading Kike to LAD. He could amount to something useful, someday.

 

Weiss is a waiver wire dumpster dive.

[moonslav59]

He’ll probably be picked up by the A’s or Rays and have a sub 3 ERA next year.

 

He was at 2.60 for us before today.

You’re assuming Turner won’t be back. If he leaves they will need to replace him with a RHH power bat. Too many LHH.

[jung]

Rafaela is a CFer. Duran is not.

 

My choice would be Rafaela. No question in my mind anyway. Play Duran in Left or trade him.

[moonslav59]

Turner will not take the option, so he will be a FA. We rarely bring back our guys who reach free agency, and with Yoshi so well suited for DH, I think JT is as good as gone.

 

I would like to see us bring back Duvall, as long as the cost and years are not too much. I don't really want Duvall in CF, and since Duran and Ref are best suited for LF, I could see an OF like this:

 

LF: Duran, Refsnyder (Yoshi/Abreu/Reyes)

CF: Rafaela, Abreu (Duran/Reyes)

RF: Duvall (Abreu/Refsnyder/Reyes)

 

If we can't get something useful for Dugo, I'd keep him and maybe trade Duran while his stock appears high.

 

LF: Abreu, Refsnyder (Yoshi)

CF: Rafaela (Abreu)

RF: Dugo (Abreu)

 

[moonslav59]

Yoshida is such a ground out machine.

Duran in LF.

LF: Abreu, Refsnyder (Yoshi)

CF: Rafaela (Abreu)

Pretty heavy LHH tilt. I don’t see Ref as anything but a bench player and Reyes isn’t exactly a power hitter so Duvall is our only real RH power hitter if Turner leaves as expected. Duvall is too streaky to be dependable. So we’ll still need to replace Turner with one or two RHHers with power.

Just one of our many needs.

LL in the 8th, that’s awesome!

yes.
