Not gonna happen. Breslow also failed to obtain a decent backup catcher
-
The Dodgers didn’t let him run the show either. They said “you wanna start? Do it for another team “. Similar situation as Devers.
-
May was traded here because he told the Dodgers he didn’t want to be demoted to the pen unless someone got injured. So the Dodgers dumped him on us.
-
Not impressed by May. Matz looked pretty good so far though
-
At least you recognize my superior understanding of the game Thanks
-
You mean you?
-
This is what Breslow dragged here?
-
Take him out now!
-
May sucks
-
And Story STILL struck out on a ball a foot outside. And the Flops STILL have the fourth highest chase rate in baseball. Imagine how much better they could be if they were just average in Chase rate….
-
Story Ks on a ball a foot outside. I posted this yesterday: the Flops are #4 in chase rate in all of baseball. Imagine how much better they could be if they were just average in that category….
-
Mayer has had recurrent wrist problems. I wonder what is wrong there. Is it something fixable with surgery or is it going to be problem permanently.
-
May gives it up. More runs are on the way.
-
And Wong. There are others.
-
Two errors in two nights. Out of the hole . Permanently.
-
Bregman joins the Little League team. Again. Did it yesterday too.
-
8x $130m. Found it
-
8 year contract extension for Anthony….how much is it per year?
-
That’s YOUR definition of failure. You’re entitled to hold that opinion but I don’t agree with it. I’ll tell you what failure is in my mind: finishing in last place three of the past six years and third twice. This isn’t a small market team. We should be competing for a playoff spot nearly every year. Do that and you are successful.
-
There have been a lot more failures than rings, and among them some epic collapses. I’ll wait and see how the season unfolds before I pin a medal on Breslow.
-
If the M&Ms outperform expectations I’ll admit I was wrong about Breslows failure.
-
There are a few players that should be off limits. Anthony is one them.
-
Obviously the goal is to win a ring. But it’s difficult to rise from bad or mediocre to the top of the mountain. I’d be satisfied if the win the AL pennant this year with an eye towards better things soon. Breslows failure at the deadline impedes all that. And all the hoopla about how well they are playing now is fun-but they still haven’t accomplished anything yet.
-
Thats nice. But the truth is that the team has ACCOMPLISHED nothing. Playing well is better than playing poorly. Winning the pennant is even better. I have been a fan of this team long enough to know that their history of summer collapses has tended to repeat itself over and over again. So before I pin a medal on Breslows lapel I'll wait to see how the season ends. As of now it certainly seems that he failed to significantly improve our chances. I think that is common knowledge.
-
Yup. You have to overpay to go for it, don't you. The bottom line, as I keep writing, is that Breslow again FAILED miserably to address the needs of the club. Everyone knows what they are; they haven't gone away. Too late now to do anything about them other than hope the M&Ms perform.
