    78 on that last one.
  2. a700hitter
    Uehara is hitting 79 mph with his splitter
  3. a700hitter
    That was really too shallow to do anything more than bluff down the line.
  4. a700hitter
    This ESPN booth is a huge bore. Who cares about Boone's batting imitations?
  5. a700hitter
    Owens wasn't exactly graceful looking on that play.
  6. a700hitter
    That was a long segment.
  7. a700hitter
    Webster had much better stuff.
  8. a700hitter
    Owens is all over the place. He is about to blow up the game.
  9. a700hitter
    We have a full bullpen contingent available tonight, so he needs to get into the 6th inning.
  10. a700hitter
    Holt does everything well, except I heard that he can't sing..., but that is an unsubstantiated rumor.

    A return to earth would still be an improvement over Panda against lefties.
  12. a700hitter
    He fits in with our other starters who have a tendency to give up gopher balls.

    That is a good point. I have noticed that. Yesterday, when they caught Altuve going into 3rd standing up, Pedey made a phenomenal relay throw and Shaw slapped that tag on him so swiftly that it definitely influenced the call on a very close play. He has made some very other nice tag plays.
  14. a700hitter
    Pedey is looking vintage.
  15. a700hitter
    I have seen Shaw make several nice plays that Panda just doesn't have the athleticism to make. he has mad long throws from behind the bag, diving plays to his left and right, and coming in on slow rollers. He's not Beltre, but he can handle the position.

    LOL! read over the "people" part. He did a lot of sport hunting. He was on the fine line of genius and insanity.

    Teddy Roosevelt was a sociopath?

    Tomayto Tomahto
  19. a700hitter
    No carryover squabbles, please.

    Especially since the organization's weak spot is drafting and developing top pitchers. We have plenty of positional talent in the organization to put together attractive packages.

    If there is still a team option for 2017, he has trade value.
  22. a700hitter
    For all the talk by the FO about not wanting to commit big contracts to aging pitchers and to look for value contracts, they have done a terrible job at getting value. They have loaded up a bloated payroll with worthless assets. Few of those contracts have any value as assets in a trade. Craig's and Panda's contracts look like sunk costs. We will get nothing in return for either of them -- not $ or talent. I can't getting back more than a fraction of Castillo's contract. They will need to clear a lot of payroll before Betts and XB come up for Arbitration. That will no be easy to do, and it will impact whether we can acquire a #2 pitcher.

    I am unconvinced with this mathematical extrapolation. I just don't know if a part time performance can be extrapolated to a full time performance with mathematical equivalence. Can we extrapolate 1 inning bullpen pitcher's performance in the same manner comparing them to starters? The problem that I have with Buch is that every season we are left with an enormous hole in the top of the rotation at or before the All Star Break with no way to fill it. That has an immeasurable cost.

    IRL he is a friendly guy. Something would happen to him when he got behind a keyboard when he got worked up.

    You had good mojo last year. Start us off on a run.
