  2. FredLynn

  3. FredLynn
    Game over
  4. FredLynn
    Kelly
  5. FredLynn
    I saw this game already. Crochet gets taken out and the pen blows the game. Again
  6. FredLynn
    Watching this team is worse than going to the dentist
  7. FredLynn
    You said "in their right mind".....that leaves Breslow and Henry out.
  8. FredLynn
    Who’s winning?
  9. FredLynn
    Not impressed by Anthony at all
  10. FredLynn
    Because his arm is still attached
  11. FredLynn
    Great Give Buehler a Hoodsie. Then DFA him
  12. FredLynn
    I make Buehler stay out there until his arm falls off so he can be put on the IL for the rest of the year.

    We are 14th in hitting and 15th in pitching. We are at .500. Mediocre again. Yet the mss as management says they’re not throwing in the towel. They should. I know they can’t SAY that but it’s obvious they know. Mediocre again. Disgusting
  14. FredLynn
    They were pitching him in and hard and he couldn't handle it. He should consider moving a bit off the plate as Middlebrooks said during some of the ABs.
  15. FredLynn
    I didn’t say he’s diabetic. But he definitely meets the criteria for obesity. And if you’re obese you’re certainly not “perfectly healthy”. Just because you don’t have complications related to your weight yet doesn’t mean you’re healthy. Now if Devers was squatting 500 pounds and benching 400 pounds and as a result his muscle mass was increased then the bmi calculator should be taken with a grain of salt. Football players do that-heavy lifting-but typically baseball players don’t train that way, so I think the bmi calculator is pretty reliable. By all means form you own opinion but imo Devers meets the criteria for class one obesity.
  16. FredLynn
    OK, but the fact is he is obese based not only on his calculated BMI but also via the eye test. Baseball players are not always in the best shape. Papi was and likely still is obese. Sandoval.....many others. These people are not overly muscular. They are carrying too much fat. Devers IS obese and eventually its going to not only hurt his performance on the field but it will affect his overall health.
  17. FredLynn
    At 6 feet and 245 lbs (which is what I found) his BMI is 33.2, class one obesity. Anything over 30 BMI is obese. Devers IS obese. Now admittedly there are problems with BMI calculators because they fail to account for people who are overly muscular. But Devers isn't a body builder. He's just obese.
  18. FredLynn
    I'm not inclined to use that term, but the fact is that Devers is overweight, probably bordering on obese. Not fat shaming him, just pointing out that his longevity and proclivity towards injury are going to be affected by his weight. Just seems that baseball management should have some sort of weight goals to enforce with their players.
  19. FredLynn
    Yeah but now we have (more accurately Henry has) about $250M to spend on high quality players. Let’s see how much of it he invests in the team and how much of it he invests in his wallet. My guess is that he’ll keep most of it. Meanwhile the win streak is over-but we have Crochet going tomorrow.
  20. FredLynn
    No doubt this is a move to strengthen the team for the future. So its "just wait 'till next year". Again
  21. FredLynn
    You can’t have a player telling management where he will or will not play. It sets a horrible precedent in the clubhouse-especially with the younger players. No doubt Brelow could have handled it better but at the end of the day it’s HIS decision how the roster is constructed and input from the players isn’t necessary. I read an article saying that when you sign a contract for $313M there comes with it the responsibility to do what is best for the team. Devers didn’t hold up his end of the deal.
  22. FredLynn
    Yes, the Red Flops will be worse off for the deal, but the important thing is that the cheapskate owner is going to be much richer as a result! The team is going nowhere this year and if Henry keeps the money he is saving they will be going nowhere for the foreseeable future. I don't mind getting rid of a spoiled malcontent like Devers, but at least they should have gotten some sort of return for him that is reasonable rather than making it look like what it is: a money saving move. No respect for ownership at all. They just don't give a s*** anymore. Still going FULL THROTTLE ahead?
  23. FredLynn
    Devers sucked defensively. That’s the difference. He’s an excellent hitter and will be for a long time. Unfortunately he’s a me first guy and that’s a poor teammate on a young team.
  24. FredLynn
    Injuries are part of the game and are largely unpredictable. Of course if you’re overweight like Casas and Devers you’re going to be more prone to injuries. Casas’ injury could have happened to anyone. It’s a freak injury.
  25. FredLynn
    Past injuries are not predictive of future ones. And I would be delighted if Toro and Gonzales can keep it up. Think they can? I don't
