In the 16th, have a home run derby.
-
I was for one fire sale: 2022.

In hindsight, maye- yes. You'd have to hit on every move and have the current team not slump. IMO, the types of "now" moves they might have tried were the ones like Castillo, but only if we extended him like SEA did and Civale, who had multiple years left. The teams were not good enough for giving up good prospects for rentals. You save those moves for seasons like 2018 and Nate. The one Bloom season worthy of that was 2021, when we got Schwarber, Robles, Davis, Shaw and later Iggy. We should have gotten a solid SP'er or closer. I was for buying in 2023, but not giving top prospects for rentals.
-
Is that essentially what half the team fans do?
-
I don't think many posters were against bringing Nate back, despite all the missed time and a stretch of ineffectiveness.
-
Will the away team trend continue?

After the season, the Red Sox made the surprising announcement that Alex Cora would have some input into the search for a new lead baseball executive. The reasoning went like this: the Red Sox wanted to make sure Cora and the new hire would be able to forge a good working relationship. That raised eyebrows throughout the game, since it’s highly unusual for managers to have a hand in hiring their boss. But according to a well-placed source, Cora has had very little involvement in the process to date. -Sean McAdam Makes some recent narratives questionable.

"Let him go?" He was a FA and he had the choice- not us.
-
Thumbs up to the strawman. Typical.
-
More strawman. I have maintained last winter was Bloom's make or break winter. When things looked good in July, we all felt Bloom's job was safe. There is no need to lie.
-
They basically traded Maeda for Graterol, so I think it could have been a deal.
-
13th, load 'em up.
-
Even that would not have been enough. In hindsight, we should have gone full firesale in '22 and '23.
-
Not one poster said we should keep Bloom, yet you persist with your strawman construction.

Some near upsets in the top 15, but nothing major. #3 Ohio St squeaked by #7 Penn St #6 OK beat UCF by 2. #8 Texas held on vs HOU. #11 ALA came back and beat TN by 14. #14 UT beat #18 USC by 2 Not much change in the Coaches' Poll: 1. GA (15 players drafted from last year's team) 2. MI 3. Ohio St 4. FSU 5. Wash 6. OK 7. TX (first 1 loss team) 8. ORE 9. ALA 10. Penn St 11. Ore St 12. Ole Miss 13. UT 14. ND (first 2 loss team) 15. LSU 16. MO 17. NC 18. Louisville 19. AF (7-0) 20. Duke 21. TN 22. Tulane 23. UCLA 24. USC 25. James Madison (7-0) Blue= ND played, this year

Why would you even ask me a question like that? Of course, there would be a long list of people who would love to be the coach at ND. You make a lot of assumptions about not searching and knee-jerk reactions. You act like interviews are the most important aspect about finding the right person. It might be, in some cases, especially on close calls where many candidates are similar and already liked by the hiring team. Notre Dame is a unique university. They would likely not even consider over half of any good coaches that inquired about the job opening. To you, "more qualified" is what you want. That's not a bad thing to have. It's not always the best thing. They obviously liked Freeman. Maybe they liked him more than anyone else, and didn't need to "search" anymore. Maybe they felt he might sign elsewhere, if they waited. You "like Freeman," so we got someone you like. I'm not sure why you assume we'd have done better with someone who seems to have more "qualifications."

There was no opt out after 2020, except for a mutual one based on injury. per cots... may opt out of contract after both 2019 ($2.5M buyout) and 2020 seasons (no buyout) 2021 and 2022 seasons become mutual options if Martinez has a Lisfranc injury or complication to his right foot causing him to be: 1) on the disabled list for 60 days or more in previous season, or 2) on the disabled list for 10 days or more in the previous season and 120 days or more in the two previous seasons combined, or 3) on the disabled list at the end of the previous season and found not able to play at the start of the next season
-
Good point- maybe 2nd and third, then for the 12th.
-
No doubt. Keeping Schwarber over Dalbec would have been the right move, no matter the added cost. We still would not have made the playoffs in 2022 or 2023. That's the "scoreboard," too.
-
They should have taken Dugo, Maeda and Wong.
-
Indeed, there was a reason Schwarber played mostly LF in 2021. By the end of 2021, Dalbec had 545 career PAs and an .819 OPS (114 OPS+.) Per 650 PAs, his line would have been: .244 41 120, which is almost exactly what Schwarber's is, now. Although he had a horrible playoffs, he was a big part of us getting there. He finished the '21 season with an .867 OPS over his last 103 games (345 PAs). Over that stretch he averaged this over 650: .256 44 120. Bobby Dee is a good cautionary tale on not getting your hopes up too highly based on a players first 300 to 600 PAs.
-
Sounds like a good idea. I'd start it in the 11th. In the 12th, put the man on 3rd.
-
lol!
-
Isn't forcing people to go both ways illegal in Florida and many other states?
-
Bloom outbidding DD would have really been something.
