    He was injured when they signed him. He was never cleared to play.

    Santana was injured when they signed him. They painted themselves into a corner.

    They intentionally went with a short bench. Surprise surprise, there were injuries and now they are scrambling. There were cheap contracts to be had at the end of the offseason. It would have been smarter to have a guy like Pillar sitting on your bench than Valdez in the pen not pitching for 2 weeks or Brice stinking up the joint. Cordero had options. There's no reason they should have forced him onto the opening day roster. They needed a better plan.

    There were cheaper options still available towards the end of Spring Training. It still doesn't make sense to me that they didn't bring in a guy like Pillar. Relying on full time production from Cordero was a pipe dream. My guess is they were hoping to be a .500 team and that fans would have ignored some of the flaws. Unfortunately, they had early season success and got some people's hopes up.

    Bloom hinted that it may be sooner than later once the season gets up and running. Hard to trade for players who haven't been scouted since 2019.

    Well, I woke up today after they lost ANOTHER game last night. 3-2! 3-2?!?!? Are you kidding me? How could Franchy and the bullpen do this to me?

    100%

    What he has is no viable replacement as of 5/12/21. Bloom took a risk that he could use bandaids to fix the OF depth. Unfortunately, it hasn't really worked out. The only really productive hitter in the OF has been Verdugo, which was kind of expected. Many of us wondered what the plan was in the offseason. This team would look much better if it also had Pillar out there.

    Yeah, that pen turned things around at the end of that season and were rolling.

    My posts would be way better if I did.

    That positioning on Franchy...

    Bassitt is better than Lopez

    Smooth DP. Don’t walk the leadoff guy next time.
  16. mvp 78
    I'd say he was above tier 2. He was 1b to Pedro's 1a in 2004. I hate the guy, but I'll give him a little credit.

    They should have gone back to back in 07/08 and kept Manny. Just needed to figure out how to get through to him.
  20. mvp 78
    They were all pretty good.
  21. mvp 78
    April/May are his best months per his career splits. Maybe he needs to just get into a rhythm with Vaz?
  22. mvp 78
    I loved everything about Manny. He made baseball fun.
  23. mvp 78
    I lived in LA from 07-10 and would overhear people at work say things like "Manny and Ortiz are this generation's Ruth and Gherig."
  24. mvp 78
    Well, then I agree.
  25. mvp 78
    He needs to listen to Barnes and start attacking hitters more.
