  1. I think it's been tried 4 times all year. For a pitcher of Kimbrel's caliber, going for a 4 out save should mean an extra 5 pitches or so. But as we have all seen, Kimbrel seems to have some sort of issue with 4 outs or 4 run leads and generally doesn't do very well with them.
  2. My only beefs with Manny were a handful of plays where he didn't give it full effort. Overall Manny was a joy.
  3. You're talking about players that everyone knows are having great seasons. But I also look at the WAR for players that I haven't seen play and don't really know much about.
  4. 2 different things though really. To me 'chasing wins' suggests managing like it was an elimination game from start to finish regardless of the score.
  5. Some of Manny's stuff was quite enjoyable. But some of it crossed the line too IMO
  6. Absolutely, it's not one of our major issues that we need to spend resources on.
  7. Some fans, like you, would be reasonable about it. Some, not so much.
  8. One thing's for sure, if we didn't sign JD we'd be cursing out DD pretty good these days.
  9. Dirt dog? No. Hot dog? Yes. Puig is a textbook example of a hot dog. I saw him do the same bat-flip thing on Monday night. He does stuff like that all the time. If he was white he wouldn't be treated differently. Lackey certainly didn't get a pass for his little routine of showing up his fielders.
  10. What exactly do you mean by telling us what we already know?
  11. 'Lengthen the lineup' seems to me to be another one of those buzz phrases that get used a lot because they sound cool.
  12. It's harmonic convergence, man.
  13. It was quite the celebration JD and Holt had after Holt's homer last night. And yes, I couldn't help wondering if JD gave Holt some advice before the AB. Buying into the hype, I guess...
  14. Random thoughts of the day: -A bit surprisingly, Manny Machado is kind of doing jacksquat for the Dodgers so far. -Yasiel Puig - there's a fine line between being flamboyant/passionate and being a complete idiot. -Cubs starters Lester and Quintana are really struggling lately.
  15. Shreve's .778 OPS vs. lefties isn't very good, but Cole's .980 is out of this world bad. Here are Cole's numbers vs. lefties this year: 78 PA's 358/436/806 for a robust OPS of 1.242
  16. Plus Sandy has been playing so much more than he's used to.
  17. Over his career Cole has allowed a .980 OPS against LH hitters. But Boonie let him pitch to both Nimmo and Conforto, with somewhat predictable results. Not sure what he was thinking.
  18. I'm starting to believe Cashman did us a huge favor hiring this guy.
  19. So let me get this straight: Boone brings A. J. Cole into a 1-run game and leaves him in there until he gives up 3 home runs. In fact he didn't even pull him right after the third home run. Boone just might have some serious issues as a manager.
  20. Kimmi, I have not looked at this myself, but it might be interesting to look at Arizona's offense before and after JD last year.
  21. This is one of JBJ's most encouraging stretches ever IMO. And he really had to pull himself out of the depths this time.
  22. I would suggest a rephrase: It's the 8 slot that sucks. Not killing us.
  23. Got off to kind of a scary start falling behind 8-3 in the first game, but outscored 'em 31-9 after that.
  24. It has to be one of the most dominant runs in history.
  25. Truer words were never posted.
