Don't make me go to the other board and find more SBF quotes today...
-
Michael Wacha's career mirrors the 2022 Red Sox. High expectations at the onset. Some bad stretches. Some good stretches. Overall they ended up slightly below average, but some people will go to the grave telling you that they sucked.
-
They have to pick up 24 and 25?
-
He played Raffy in Game 2 and Raffy hit 2 HR's. He sat Raffy in Game 3 and the Sox won. Seems like Cora did fine with the Raffy situation IMO.
-
I tried looking at older Cora quotes. Seems like he just plays it by ear and has in mind when a guy needs to sit. He wanted Raffy to get a rest at some point in the Rockies series and just waited until the Gomber LHP start. It was just happenstance that it was before a day off. If Raffy is really beat up or whatever, I don't see what the big deal is.
-
Biggest difference between Kluber and Wacha is that Wacha is a relatively competent starting pitcher. Seems like Kluber's career is over?
-
It'll be interesting to see if they pick up the team option. This is the first year he's been over 2 fWAR since 2017. Is it a safe bet for him to be a 2+ fWAR guy in '24 and '25? Of course the Padres don't seem to care about money at the moment. And for how much we love the Padres defense and pitchers, they have the same record as the Red Sox.
-
2 of the ER were on a 319' HR, which is among the 10 shortest HR's in professional baseball this season.
-
Drohan continued his run of good starts in WOO. 6IP 6H 1BB 7K 3ER Nice to see the BB number go down.
-
Even though it's a bad stat, coming in last says a lot about the defense.
-
It's both.
-
My replacement would be Eric Gregg, but I'm not currently in favor of digging up corpses to do my bidding.
-
Wrong-handed SPer? Gomber is a LHP. He sat Duran/Yoshida/Devers who are all LHB. WTH?
-
Yeah, Devers' best years were when he had a higher walk rate or a lower strike out rate (19, 21, 22) as it makes him a more complete hitter. Chasing bad pitches means that he'll make worse contact overall (FB% is a career high 43%). He's pulling the ball more, but not hitting line drives, just big fly outs. If he was more selective, he'd go back to making better contact IMO. Devers hits 2nd or 4th, so I don't think we'd expect the guys you listed (aside from Casas) to drive him in as they are hitting WAY behind him.
-
I'd only trust an eye test from a real eagle eyed pro like Angel Hernandez.
-
"/s" means that the post was purely sarcastic in nature.
-
He was damaged goods that they bought at a discount. Maybe they thought he could rehab his way out of it or that putting him at 2b would fix the problem. It didn't work. I didn't like the signing either.
-
He's not taking my calls at the moment. Reyes has better offensive and defensive numbers than Kiké. Why is Kiké still an everyday player? Is Reyes a longterm solution? No. Is he better than Kiké at SS? Yes.
-
Is WAR good now? Isn't WAR only one tool that never paints the whole picture anyway? Aren't there several data points you need to provide to really identify how well a player is doing?
-
If he has a 3 fWAR season, is there ANY chance he sits back and takes that player option?
-
We're all too old for this s***.
-
I was asking you. You made the distinction between him and deGrom and Rodon. If we signed Wacha and said "that's it for the offseason" I think fans would have been rightfully concerned.
-
608 OPS since May 1. Seems not good for what he's getting paid?
-
Was Wacha seen as a TOP OF THE ROTATION STARTER this offseason? Wasn't that what we needed?
-
You've been around long enough to know how people take things on here. It's been worse around here, but we try to keep the temperature down as much as possible if we can. It's a weird bizzaro community, but it could always be worse. I have insisted since the end of last season that no progress can be made until Manager Alex the Cheater Cora and usless BO Director Jaime Bloom are fired and it must be done before we get swept by both TB and the Angels this weekend.. Nothing positive can come from our team's hope for the future until these two bums are cashiered. OR Because the filthy rotten cheater once again thought he was the smartest MAN IN THE ROOM AND THOUGHT HECOULDSURPRISE THE ROCKIES WITH A PITCHER THEY HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE. ONCE AGAIN IT BLEW UP IN HIS FACE. NOW IF KENLEY WASN'T AVAILABLE BECAUSE OF ILLNESS OR INJURY I COULD SEE CORA'S HAND WAS LIMITED BUT IF NOT IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT THE MAN HAS CLEARLY LOST IT. Th guy has the Mark of Cain on him and the team will not revive again until his sad and sorry ass is jettisoned once and for all and with Bloom following him out of his latest s*** show.
