  1. I can barely believe I've read that as a viable option.
  2. This is only my 4th year of following the sport, but the level of umpiring seems to have dipped quite dramatically this year. It's been awful. for all teams.
  3. Umpire being s*** or not, we blew that. Completely lost their heads.
  4. If we don't I want Farrell sacked by the time the press conferences start.
  5. Big strike out. Need Kimbrel to do something special here.
  6. I actually cannot believe he's left Tazawa in there.
  7. So why would you want him starting?
  8. Really could do with keeping the distance between us and the Jays. It feels like they are close to going on a lengthy winning streak.
  9. Fair point. I should have qualified my point with saying "Nobody would take him with what we were looking for in return"
  10. Yeah, no way am I trading for Clay if I'm a GM. Especially if Miley is available. I mentioned a few weeks ago, I wouldn't have been too surprised to learn we picked up the option and then looked to trade. I would also in no way be surprised, if nobody would take him.
  11. Haven't been in for a while, been travelling the past few weeks. Now I've caught up, I feel like I am watching a man's slow descent into madness. Been a fun few weeks for you YOTN, huh? The offence has been flat out spectacular thus far. Been so fun to watch.
  12. Yeah, you can certainly see why they would rather an innings eater like Miley over Buch, even with the vast difference in ability when Clay is 100%.
  13. Exactly this. Although I would have looked to trade him after picking up the option. Which maybe they did.
  14. A large amount to be positive about at the moment. Shaw and Hanley are both playing very good defence. Shaw is hitting better than we'd hoped. Porcello has settled and produced good outings so far. Wright is pitching superbly. The line up is very dangerous and capable of scoring big most games. Very early days, and there will be injuries and slumps to come, but there is a lot to be excited about.
  15. Yup! The only fault I have had with this forum is that there were so few steady members and it moved too slow, when I was looking to procrastinate.
  16. Exciting! I've never posted anywhere other than here, and even then, not all that often. I always thought the only thing this site was missing was bigger numbers, personally.
  17. I'm assuming the reports of Lackey not being happy with the contract situation are true tbf. If he was happy to stay, or, they could work out a new fair contract then that was obviously the step to take. We've seen some baffling decisions in recent years but I can't believe they were willing to trade him if either of those options were available. There seemed like a beef there. So if that was the case, I don't hate the trade(as in what they were thinking). Take away his disaster both in form and injury in 2014, Craig was batting .312 over 1296 at bats from 2011-13. Get him healthy and back anywhere near that and it becomes a great trade(Edit - great is going too far. A good trade). I think tacking on Kelly was an extra they really wanted as they hoped they might be able to make something happen with a guy who had a great arm. It's clearly been a disaster, and it's sometimes very hard to look past hindsight while viewing these things, but when it happened I was excited, while being pretty disappointed we were losing such a good pitcher.
  18. It looks like a disastrous trade now (because it is), but at the time they were getting a very good hitter and highly rated young pitcher in return. If only Craig continued to hit his average(obviously ignoring the injury hit last season) it would have been a good trade. It it has turned out very bad, but at the time it was a solid idea.
  19. For which they are 4-3 whilst being very inconsistent. Edit - I'm assuming this game has gone obviously.
  20. I don't agree with many of your assessments recently (which is unusual) but you're a good un Kimmi.
  21. Rotation 100%.
