Think Farrell knows he might not have it today.....

You know what, if Benny isn't traded, bring him up and hand him LF. Good defense with speed, his hitting will come sooner or later.

Hill hitting .167. Brenz in left, Hannigan c WTF

This game aught to be a beauty Holy sh... 0 runs for Halos. I feel better about us. lol

Why is Hannigan on this team. Brenz in left again. How the f.. long is Young and Swihart out for..

Craig what a flub job that turned out to be.

Agree, This is our core for the next so many years. Try to swing a deal with what ever prospects to get it done. Groom, Kopech, Duben, Travis, Chavis, Swihart, Devers, Vaz, etc. If we traded for a solid left fielder, include Benny.

Have to sign Encarn. A must...

I think our pitching is coming around a tad bit although not peak for sure. One big prob. also is having fill in guys like Brenz and Hannigan and a few others. Brenz looked at 2 called 3rd strikes, bases jacked. Having injuries to Swihart and Young not helping. We might have a better idea of what kind of hitter Swihart might be by now if he didn't get hurt. Tough call right now on who to move. If I could lock up Lucroy for 3 to 4 yrs, I'd give up Swihart for sure, but our future is real bright.

Totally agree. Our pitching lately has been good enough to win. We need to solidify that other corner outfield slot..

Maybe a sniff, but no ring...

Why is the question flawed. It was a pretty easy question. Don't overthink it now. Make it easy on yourself. The devil wants to offer you a choice. Can you make it.

It's a tough one because if the chips fall our way we could win 2 in 5 years. If not we could win none. Sometimes luck and fate have the final say. Just having an awesome team that is fun to watch with people making sensible moves is all we can ask. We are some of the most loyal and smartest fans in the country. That is why every move is hashed over by us. You have to have 2 sides to come up with the best decisions. I still think back to some of the teams we had, 78, 86, and no Ring. Hard to believe.

So If you had a choice of winning the world series this year and having so so years for the next 3 - 4 years what would you do..

I'd give up a little bit more and bring in Lucroy. A veteran player that would step in and be a force on both sides of the field. Esp. if we could extend him. Can't say enough about that position. Where would we have been without Tek. I think DD can make the deal without giving up something crazy, if not than worth the try. Could be a smart move going forward with this pitching staff also.

I agree with the young players learning how to win attitude, but Hanley is a veteran, and that throw to home was awful. Cost us the game, not to mention he could have came up with the first out of the inning play at first. Hanley has been having a decent year, but down the road I'd like to see an upgrade defensively at first, at least in late innings. Remember in the W.S. game when they left Buckner in at the end and didn't put Dave Stapleton in like they had been doing all season. Game over. Again, Farrell is most of the blame here, makes bad moves. The key is does he learn by them.. Very rarely do you have a nucleus of young star players and more coming like we have with Just missing a few pieces, lets not screw this up. I loved Rice and Lynn because they gave us hope. Be very interesting down the road to see what Rice, Lynn, Evans outfield compares to Betts, Bradley, Benny if he stays. I'd go out on the limb and say defensively I take the killer B's, Offensively that will be a tough one. As good as Lynn was, he wanted to play on the west coast which might have cost him being a Hall of Famer if he stayed. Rice enough said, Evans is the guy that to me all things considered was a true clutch player for us on both sides of the field. One of the best Rf I ever saw. But one thing to remember as all our Yankee friends will say, No Rings for that group.

I'd like to see us get Lucroy if we can get him without giving up Moncada. Would be a huge pick up. We need a take charge guy behind the plate and give Vaz time to mature.

He really is looking good right now. Been our best pitcher for the most part this year..

I'd have Shaw at 1st tonight. That would give me Ramz off the bench. And hopefully Shaw doesn't throw one in the dug out to cost us the game in the bottom of the ninth. Just saying. Got it..

Your right, HanRam and Hill put up some big hits tonight.

Agree, but do you really think Farrell knows this.. lol. I don't sit a left handed bat against puss..

Lets put Brady in the dug out during his 4 game sups. to fire up this team. Just saying. Farrell does nothing to fire this team up. Just don't like him going forward..

We lose this game, look back to the last 2 innings. We should have 10 runs right now.

Nice time to sit Shaw's left handed bat against this AA pitcher.. Farrell sucks

Not a good sign when we are finding different ways to lose more often than ways to win. Hope we catch fire. Last night would have been a huge win.
