Some feel in foresight, too.
-
It’s all about footwork.
-
It would be interesting to know how many runs we have let up on these “non error” plays, this year
-
Your spell check is in another language, I fear.
-
We could have paid down almost all of the salaries of those FAs to be, reset and gotten nice returns.
-
I think Ben had a better foundation to work with and the Pablo, HRam and Rusney signings were too much to stomach. I don’t think Yoshida and Story look as bad as those three.
-
At least you can blame yours on typos!
-
I thought Ben was doing what JH wanted, too.
-
The concept is pretty simple and has been used for decades.
-
Casas, too. maybe he meant Bloom did not trade them away.
-
If he can repeat last year's second half, we might have a shot. -
Still waiting for just one name.
-
He meant Martin- not Smith. Now, your turn. Give me the name of one poster saying Bloom has done a good job.
-
Where is the "free pass" being given, and by whom?
-
Exactly. We did not inherit the 2018 team. We inherited some of the players, but much of their production diminished, and some missed whole seasons- yes, plural seasons. Had we just been able to keep Betts, things would likely be very different, too, but only if the budgets from2020 to now were more.
-
Can just one of you guys name just one poster saying Bloom has done a good job? Giving context is not saying he’s done a good job.
-
No free pass- just context. My point was more about posters expecting to have already seen significant farm help from Bloom’s prospects. Yes, We should see players close to ready, but maybe not HS draftees.
-
Yup. This is Bloom’s team now.
-
Hence the word "almost' ALL. BTW, JD and Bogey were one dimensional, too. Only Mookie was multi. Sale has been zero dimension. Porcello never pitched again. Beni? Meh. JBJ? LOL. Price became one-quarter Price. Nate pitched a little more than time not pitching. ERod missed 2020 and has just now regained what he had. The names all sound great, but the production after 2018 or 2019 was MOSTLY not.
-
Nice take. I will add that the great players Bloom inherited almost all began to decline or miss entire seasons, almost immediately. He did not inherit 2018 production. Not even 2019.
-
Yup, and even if Yorke had Ben the next stud like one of them, he’d be called up just about now, yet somehow Bloom was supposed to already have seen ML results from his farm.
-
No doubt! He's on pace for about 60 Hrs and 130 RBI while batting almost .310! He lead the league in OPS, SLG, HRs, RBIs, 3Bs and TB. 3.8 bWAR/4.1 fWAR That, alone would be great, but he's also started 16 games: 7- 3 3.02 12K/9 Leads league 5.7 H/9 leads league (1.038 WHIP) 2.7 bWAR/ 1.9 fWAR Total WAR 6.5 bWAR 6.0 fWAR Pretty damn good for a full season!

Big hit & catch by Duran. He looks like a butterfly out there in CF. -
