  1. If you hate the superimposed rectangle, then I would think it goes away with robo umps. (Maybe not?)
  2. I'm not disagreeing, and if Bloom spends big on the pen, and it fails, being critical of his choices will be fair game. (I doubt he spends big, which is one reason I want us to trade for an ace, QO Wacha and keep Whitlock & Houck in the pen, all year.)
  3. I guess I just don't get the "sake of the game" part of the position against robo umps. I'm fine with differing opinions, too. We won't even notice the change, except for no bad calls.
  4. It took years to get a system like that. Of course it wasn't just Bloom, or James Click or Friedman.
  5. Banning?
  6. Well, if everyone put him on ignore, nobody would read his BS and respond.
  7. You mean like Whitlock, Schreiber, Strahm and maybe German? The Rays miss on a lot, too. It's not an exact science. Bloom seemed to do better, this year, than in his previous 2- both on starting pitchers and relief pitchers added. Wacha Hill Schreiber Strahm Diekman Kelly Danish 2021 Richards M Perez Whitlock Ottavino Andriese Sawamura (Mid season: Robles, Davis, Rios) 2020 I don't want to talk about it, and the list is 20 names long.
  8. It wouldn't help stop the Bloom Bashers, if the pen sucks, next year.
  9. They must really think German is not ML ready. I'd rather they just called up Winckowski or Seabold. There was a good reason the Mets cut this guy. (I guess you could say the same about the teams who cut Schreiber.)
  10. 1. You are not the only one- by far. 2. I don't understand how eliminating needless mistakes isn't making something better.
  11. He's just seeking the attention nobody else will give him. Ignore trolls, and eventually they will go away or lessen their appearances.
  12. The problem might be, how we feel if Bloom adds some proven pen pieces, and it still sucks.
  13. All the radio talk shows are talking about it! (LOL)
  14. Well said. The game of baseball has always been evolving towards teams figuring out how to get batters out more foter, or hitting pitchers more often. It started with simple notions, like don't pitch inside to this guy or outside to that guy. As teams got smarter and smarter, the information got better and deeper. Teams that fell behind on these aspects of the game lost more often. At times, it evolved into cheating. Some teams went to extremes on compiling data- something VTek used to have in his head (and notebooks.) You're right- nobody complained, except for the cheating part. Now, a way has been found to improve an ugly part of the game using technology and common sense. Bring it on!
  15. Another tough loss. Damn!
  16. Time is long overdue for Bogey to knock in some runs, here... Nope! Again.
  17. What we need from Dugo is a dinger.
  18. Agreed. We'd have to beat the Yankee offer by more than $1M.
  19. Freaking walks always kill us!
  20. You want Judge from ages 31-38 at $300M/8, as he breaks down, and he certainly will over Devers at ages 26-35 at maybe $320M/10?
  21. Some guy on MLBTR projected $300M/8.
  22. Kavadas ended up 4 for 6 in the POR extra inning win. He's now up to .769. Hamilton ended the night at .735, which is much better than it was all year. The 69 SBs makes his possibilities increase. Maybe the Beni trade will reap some benefits, afterall.
  23. Mata struggling w BBs. 4IP 1H 2ER 5BB 7K EValdez 2-4 w 2B Hamilton 2-4 w 2B & BBRafaela 3-5 Binelas 2-4 w 2B & BB Kavadas 3-5 no BBs
  24. Mookie seems to have his power back.
  25. Love seeing Marwin in pinstripes.
