  1. Maybe he was concerned that ARod would hit him with his purse.
  2. I disagree with you in this . I was vocal about it during the off season, and one of us has been proved right.
  3. I guess I had you confused with another "glass is half empty" "future is doomed" poster. But let's be honest and stop trying to tiptoe around the crux of the issue which is not that you think DD "has pushed it too far", but rather that you think he has sacrificed the future for the present. That is not a strawman, and I think your concern in this regard is at best based on a worst case hypothetical scenario.
  4. 4.72 ERA. I think we have to admit that he sucks, and I don't trust him at all in the post season.
  5. LOL! At least he will not steal it like Pablo.
  6. I disagree with your characterization of DD burning up the extended future. Are you so much more knowledgeable about the pipeline of prospects at the professional level than big league GM's that you can precisely predict a cliff in 5 years or so? Also, in the ensuing 5 years are you taking the position that there is no way of restocking the farm? That is no only fatalistic, but it is quite impossible to predict the actions of an organization over such an extended period. If you want to fret over this, that is your prerogative, but to push your concern as a certain impending doom is nonsensical. DD clearly is not in a win it now at all costs mode, because we still have a number of good prospects in our pipeline and some are major league ready now or very soon, and DD did not trade them for short term rentals or missing pieces. Also, he did not sign a big bat like Encarnacion which would have blown the Luxury cap. These are known facts. No one knows what the personnel of the organization will be in 5 years.
  7. We win again!! No lead is safe with Porcello on the mound.
  8. I thought Reed was going to be the 8th inning guy.
  9. We need a few more runs to put this game away.
  10. The FO is in love with the thought that they might have a young superstar, so his results don't matter. He would have to s*** on himself several times to lose the job to guys deserving a chance.
  11. 4.72 ERA is stinking for the entire year, not just tonight. Why doesn't he go back to his bread and butter -- his hard sinking fastball? As soon as he starts elevating looking for K's, he gets in trouble. Look at how well Fister did against the Guardians when he mastered his sinker. They didn't lift a ball out of the IF until the 4th inning.
  12. AB is as dumb as a rock.
  13. How did Benny Boy sign him for $88 million?
  14. 7 run rule is in effect?
  15. Multi HR games and Multi run HRs. Porcello's specialties this year. He stinks. Let's hear the rationalization about how he had good stuff but mislocated a few pitches. No, he gives up a ton of base runners and HRs.
  16. If DD was going for broke, he would have signed Encarnacion and traded for Quintana.
  17. And another runner thrown out at home plate. At least there were 2 outs.
  18. Let's cry and whine about Porcello not getting run support. Cry me a river. He has a 4.62 ERA. He stinks.
  19. Porcello needs a shut down inning.
  20. Dever's popups go out to LF. Strong kid.
