  1. I use that comeback over and over again because it’s still true. You’d prefer I lie to you guys?
  2. Based on his year to date performance he’s not the #2 SP we needed.
  3. There are no teams without weaknesses. Never said such a team exists. But if we want to win a ring it’s necessary to minimize ours and that didn’t happen at the deadline. Did it. As of now the following teams are favored AHEAD OF US to win the AL pennant: Tigers, Astros, Yankees, Jays, and Mariners. Maybe Breslow should have tried harder, eh?
  4. I think of myself as being the most REALISTIC here. I see things the way they are, not how I want them to be. If some posters here (not to mention names) claim this team has no weaknesses I’ll correct him.
  5. Or they could have become favorites to finally win a pennant. Are they?
  6. This team has accomplished zilch so far. All of the other contenders improved their clubs. We didn’t. I’d love to be wrong and see the Flops win a pennant but I don’t see that happening.
  7. How’s our RHH 1B doing against RHP? How’s Toto doing recently? And Wong? How many RBIs does he have after today. Point is, there are weaknesses for those of us to see if we are objective and don’t wear a bonnet. How many of those weaknesses were addressed at the deadline? The team is currently playing well. They would likely play better if those weaknesses had been addressed.
  8. This team has accomplished absolutely nothing. There are many weaknesses for those who are objective about the team to mention. To name a few: Boohler, Fitts, Wong (how many RBIs does he have this year?), Toro (who has had his day in the limelight) etc. The SPing is decent but could have been improved. There are many reasons we are not the favorites to win a pennant if one is objective and not mindlessly optimistic. The team could have been greatly improved if our incompetent GM had done what he was hired to do. He didn’t, so we are stuck competing for a WC spot. You may be happy with the results for the past few years but I am not. So get back to me when they have accomplished something.
  9. Vlad was one of a kind. Rafaela is no Vlad.
  10. You do. Otherwise you wouldn’t have commented on it. Btw-which ML stadium has the second highest elevation? Hint: it’s not Atlanta
  11. Breslow absolutely FAILED at the deadline. Obviously the team is playing well now but if he had obtained a #2 SP, a good RH to play 1B, and a decent backup catcher we could have been the favorites to win at least the AL. Instead he got M&Ms.
  12. Do you send Rafaela here with a 6-1 lead? I would. Because they hit him.
  13. I thought we’d win one game. I thought the results on the deadline would demoralize the players but it’s had the opposite effect.
  14. .710-.740. As the season wears on and he gets tired his plate discipline will get even worse, if that’s possible
  15. Plus we got May and Matz! How can we possibly lose now?
  16. Do I need to repeat his problems with a bat in his hands? I suggest we drop it for today. The Flops are up 6-1. Enjoy it.
  17. Yup. He’s a great and versatile defender. And very mediocre with the bat.
  18. Btw-I didn’t bring up Rafaela’s problems with a bat in his hands
  19. We all know he has no plate discipline. No need to try to defend him. He’d be much better than a great defensive player if he could fix that problem
