    A story that bears watching. Hopefully it's nothing long term.
  2. Bellhorn04
    All true, but it's time for me to nail down notin on this one.
  3. Bellhorn04
    What about Theo Epstein's tenure with the Cubs? Do you think his first few years were a failure?
  4. Bellhorn04
    Who should he have used instead of Barnes in those games?
  5. Bellhorn04
    Let's face it, during the season these grades go up and down with the team's W-L record. I would give Bloom a B and Cora a B+ to this point in this season.
  6. Bellhorn04
    There's nothing new about the "all hands on deck", but Cora did try something different in 2018 with having starters pitch an inning or so in late inning relief stints between starts.
  7. Bellhorn04
    As I said, Alex Cora actually did what Nick is suggesting, in the 2018 postseason. Which led to the infamous Restgate. One could also speculate that Price and Porcello were adversely affected by it. They were never really the same. Of course it may have been decline that was in progress anyway.
  8. Bellhorn04
    How can we answer it any better than the evidence that the guys that actually run the teams think it's too taxing to be worth it? They didn't do it in the old days, either.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Bloom still has time to enact some improvements.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Just lucky I guess.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I think Bloom has done lots of good things, but the pen is bad, and that's on him.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Well, maybe Whitlock would have gotten injured if he was closer, too...
  13. Bellhorn04
    I'm thinking more about cheaper relievers who are actually good. Just for one example, a guy like Phelps of the Jays.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Dalbec is making minimum wage, that's a big reason why he's a fit.
  15. Bellhorn04
    That's what I'm saying. It's a little different from the team holding meetings about how to juice properly, though. The players were going WTF is this?
  16. Bellhorn04
    Not really. Teams usually sell off expiring contracts at the deadline, not the cheap guys.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Someone in the organization thought this would be a good idea because they assumed the whole league was taking steroids.
  18. Bellhorn04
    The whole point is that the team WASN'T EXPECTING the doctor to tell them how to take steroids properly. They were expecting a lecture on the dangers of taking them.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Ha ha, what horseshit. Go read that story again and get back to us.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Dalbec has been red hot. Not really the time to talk about moving him.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Pretty hard to dispute that.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Back to back days is the key.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Had to fight fire with fire.
  24. Bellhorn04
    No, Cora and the staff decided they didn't want to use him in back to backs yet. The 22 pitches impacted the decision.
  25. Bellhorn04
    As you know Cora did this in the 2018 postseason. But obviously they don't like to make a habit of it. If it was a good idea, every team would be doing it.
