  1. Barnes is more than happy with that figure, trust me lol It is still a loooot of money.
  2. If I recall well Barnes was the first option but It wasn't a secure role. What I mean is that it was not like you sign Kimbrel and give up very soon if he shits the bed the first 3-4 appearances. Patience wouldn't have been managed the same way as you do with a proven closer. Kind of my point. i.e. If Barnes had s*** the bed early, his role and contract wouldn't have been there moving forward
  3. If you people are going to evaluate the deal based on this year, yes, it is a steal. OTOH Barnes wasn't even in the radar to be a legit closer and much more less to sign an extension. They were going to go by committee but Barnes performed very impressive since day 1 and earned the closer job. He always was wild. He always had velo but his command used to be very poor. The vintage Barnes was not very good and I really doubt they would have offered vintage Barnes a contract. Said that Bloom expects he continuous this way at least the next 2 years. Seems like they fixed what they needed to be fixed in Barnes. It's working although they are overusing him because this team has won a lot close games. They need to share the load with Ottavino/Whitlock/Tyalor who have been taxed too.
  4. Wow Whata way to choke man
  5. Richards is literally a blank check.
  6. I guess Richards sucks. Plain and simple.
  7. Renfroe hasn’t been ok last 7 days. Kind of the point.
  8. Kike goes yard… again!
  9. Lol come on man! You have said here and there, that they have to blow this up. In my very humble opinion, trying to fix this with a couple of additions will be a waste of time.
  10. This is a sad post. If everything lies down on Cora and Bloom know better than us, this forum is a nonsense. The debate is worthless then. They have everything figure out. They don’t. I do trust in Cora and Bloom, however, it doesn’t mean I always agree in their decisions, and it doesn’t make me an anti resdsox. Calling Duran ain’t hurt this team in anyway. Change my mind.
  11. You are missing the point. He can help this team in so many ways. Seems like you are against having Duran around lol
  12. Funny. Most people here laughed at me when I said this team was done. As I called it early this season. This team of yours ain’t going anywhere. Trying to fix this wreck train will be a waste of time. You have to rebuild ASAP.
  13. This kid Gilbert is one of the best prospects in baseball though.
  14. Whata game in SD. Baseball is beautiful.
  15. As I said, he does not necessarily has to take a titular role as some have suggested. Coming off the bench could be useful as well while increasing competitiveness in the team. Renfroe for example has been great all-in-all but he has cooled off recently. He could play in those situations and give a break to some players who are struggling.
  16. Another RISP with 0 outs and we couldn't score a run against this s***** BP.
  17. Geez let him pitch Rafa goddamit!
  18. lol and just like that we got a break! lets go!
  19. it is awful, but we can't hit.
  20. There's no way Iglesias touched the base.
