    Trying a past mojo is worth an effort.

    So, 5 counting the late Iggy addition? Schwarber Robles Davis Shaw Iggy We'd see a lot of demotions and DFA's doing that.

    Crawford v Rasmussen Maybe the biggest game of the year, to date. (Certainly, this is debatable.) ONE GAME AT A TIME!
  4. moonslav59
    Nate is supposed to start Friday, and Whitlock returns this weekend vs NYY. Any timetables on... Wacha Hill Danish Seabold Arroyo

    That sucks. If we are buyers at the deadline, maybe these are our top priorities: 1. 1B 2. RP 3. CF/RF (RH'd bat) Maybe we can find someone who can play a decent 1B and RF.

    A couple weeks ago, it seemed these thoughts had all but vanished. 3 in a row. 7 out of 9 11 out of 15 Out of the last 10 losses, 4 have been by 1 run, 1 by 2 runs and 1 by 3 runs. To be fair, two wins were by 1 run. We have 15 games to the deadline. 10 at Home & 5 Away. Eight are against direct competitors (4 CLE, 3 TOR and 1 @ TBR). A lot can happen in these next 15 games, but the thought of us being sellers is certainly a viable subject to discuss, again. (Not like anyone needs my permission to discuss anything.)

    "Stinks. Period." Seems like some are back on the road to giving up.
  8. moonslav59
    His second setback?
  9. moonslav59
    Good stuff. Ready when ready and not when need is great.
  10. moonslav59
    At #24, it's hardly worth speculating who we might get.
  11. moonslav59
    Story. I know you never said it's all on Cora. The Rays have a ton of guys hurt, too. This sucks for all of us.
  12. moonslav59
    Yes, every bonehead play is Cora's fault. No doubt, we have seen some lack of focus, and yes, the manager is where the buck stops, but the players have to take some responsibility, too. The revolving IL door might be a distraction, too. It's like a AAA team, right now.
  13. moonslav59
    Where are the player leaders? Maybe some have tried, but it's not working. You know, it's not easy winning when 4 of your starting rotation are injured. Getting pumped up only can bring you so far.
  14. moonslav59
    Mayer hit his 8th dinger. (2-3 w BB) Ward looked good: 3 IP 0 H 0 BB 4K Kavadas upped his OPS to 1.286. Gotta think he's in Salem after the ASB.
  15. moonslav59
    1. It's not happening. 2. If the idea is even considered, he has to pitch a few decent games to bring back decent value. 3. I'm not even sure we'd look to trade Hill, unless Wink gives us 3 more decent starts by the deadline, and Nate & Wacha look healthy.
  16. moonslav59
    It's hard to stay optimistic in times like these. We need to get our horses back in the barn.
  17. moonslav59
    What am I missing? Why not just use Snell where you'd use Milone? Are the contending Padres really looking to cut salary and get worse?
  18. moonslav59
    He was not fragile. Being on an innings limit is not the same as fragile. The idea is to increase innings each year. This is like saying Sale should never start, again.
  19. moonslav59
    Kevin Cash might be on the short list. They just passed us, and I think they have their top 5 pen guys injured, plus others.
  20. moonslav59
    Yes, the hypothetical was where does Story play, SS or 2B, if the plan is to start Downs, next season. (Not likely, but just trying to get a feel for how strongly people feel about leaving Story at 2B, next year, assuming Bogey does not return.
  21. moonslav59
    Quite often the guy you most recently added to the 40, is the first to go. Some never even play a game. Yes, Ort did well at Woo, but so have many pitchers- some have not looked as good, but with much larger ML sample sizes. I could be wrong, but I really don't think Brasier is in the top 2-3 on Bloom's DFA list. We may not find out, soon, since others with options will be demoted, first, in all likelihood.
  22. moonslav59
    Not sure if this is sarcasm, but I was fully on board with Whitlock starting (and Houck closing.) While the Sox went 5-4 in Whitlock's 9 starts, about par with the team's winning %, he had some games where the pen messed up a good start, or the bats were silent. (All of our starters have faced these problems, too.) The 4 losses... 4 IP 1H 0ER 0 BB 7K (We lost 3-2 @ TBR) 3 IP 4H 0ER 2BB 2K (Lost 1-0 @ TOR) 5 IP 2H 2ER 0BB 9K (Lost 10-5 v LAA) 6 IP 5H 2ER 1BB 4K (Lost 12-8 v BAL) In all fairness, he did have one start where he let up 5ER in 4 IP (10 hits) and we won 6-5, but with some luck, we could easily have been 8-1 in his 9 starts.
  23. moonslav59
    For sure? Because of 2 IP?
  24. moonslav59
    We'd b e adding more to the package to offset the negative values of B & D. The Padres would still save money, but yes, they would probably like to save as much as possible. BTV accepted: Barnes & Diekman for Hosmer, Campusano & Snell The Padres would save over $50M.
  25. moonslav59
    If you had to DFA Diekman or Brasier, today, who would you choose? How do Ort and Valdez fall on your first to be DFA'd chart? Anyone else high on your list? (Not the list you think Bloom has, but your list.)
