  1. I meant he wasn't given a chance in 2025. Looking at his stats his career OPS is .800 and his career OPS+ is 118. He's not 40 years old. Next year I would expect his numbers to be closer to his career stats.
  2. Henry needs to stop being a cheapskate and be willing to spend all the $250M he’s saving after trading the malcontent away.
  3. I wouldn’t be giving up on Casas at 1B. He had a slow start this year before he blew out his knee but he really never got a chance to show what he has, if anything.
  4. It’s the rules of the game. Baseball is a team sport. If a player doesn’t accept that then they SHOULD be off the team. There’s only one manager, one GM. The players get paid a lot of money to do what’s best for the TEAM, not for themselves.
  5. I can’t even imagine how disruptive it must have been in the clubhouse having young impressionable rookies sitting next to a guy who refused to do what was best for the team. Now the rookies have learned that if you’re not a team player you’re not on the team.
  6. Exactly wrong. There are half a dozen teams in the running for the pennant. We should be buyers if we are clearly one of the top 2 teams in the league rather than waste our prospects in a trade for results that will likely not be fruitful.
  7. Get back to me when we win the AL pennant. Tell me how great our team is then. Fact is, we do not have the talent to make a deep Oct run and its best if we are sellers. Hopefully management will agree.
  8. I don't much care what you think about my mental state.
  9. Let me be clear: our chance of winning the pennant are low IMO, probably around 20% or less. Not good enough to be buyers.
  10. Our chances of making a deep run in Oct are not good enough, not with bums like Boohler, Wong, Toro etc on the roster. We are not better than the teams I listed, and there are a lot of them. Better to try to obtain more talent for a run in 2027 or 2028 where our talent level is greater than those other guys so that we can compete with teams like the Dodgers, the Phillies, and the Cubs for a ring.
  11. You mean which teams do I think are likely to finish ahead of us in the WC or division.....the Jays, the Yankees, the Rangers, the Ms etc. Any of those teams could easily eliminate us IF we do make the playoffs-or bump us out of the playoffs entirely. We do not have the talent needed to make a deep Oct run.
  12. We MIGHT be good enough to make the playoffs for a change. I'd set those odds at 50/50. Winning a ring? Not even close. To compete for a ring we need a #2 SP, another good RP, a 1B man, and a backup catcher. Too many holes to fill all at once.
  13. Wilson has been in 40 games with an ERA of 2.18 before this game
  14. Wilson has been pretty effective. I think I heard the Flops have the top pen in the game though I can’t remember the time period looked at
  15. They rescheduled the tsunami until tomorrow at about 12:40am.
  16. It would have to be a MIGHTY tsunami to reach my house. I’m up on a hill. Couldn’t they schedule the tsunami for AFTER the game? Giolito did his job tonight
  17. Just learned that my area is under a Tsunami advisory until 8pm Pacific time.
  18. So what’s your guess? Do they bring in someone significant? Bring in a marginal player? Be sellers? Or do nothing
