Eovaldi on pace for 126 pitches over 9 innings. Can he do it for the team? -
Happy, cause he expected a DFA.
-
I never said the 4 guys we got plus some salary relief was all going to show results, this year. I just corrected your 2 player comment. You can choose to think negatively. You can't make me think that way. I like Winckowski. Valdez and Gambrel have some upside, and the more guys like them we have, the better chances a few make it bigtime.
-
The Kike-Renfroe magic is really peaking.
-
That's the hardest hit ball by Marwin in a month. lol.
-
Don't leave out Cordero.
-
At this pitch count rate, we may need Eovaldi to throw 135 pitches, tonight. Avoid the pen. They need a rest (or more).
-
ASAP: DFA Santana, Demote Arauz, Add Munoz and promote to ML roster. Demote A Davis or Y Rios and promote Houck. Saturday: Activate Sale from 60 day IL & promote & DFA Andriese. When ready: Activate & promote Brasier, demote A Davis or Y Rios Activate & promote Swarber, demote Cordero Activate & promote Arroyo, demote Dalbec or Munoz
-
They'd demote Arauz, DFA Santana before Marwin.
-
Clutch vs. choke - do these numbers mean anything?

I'm just glad you guys spelled Choke correctly. -
Gotta change up the negative mojo. Big Nate has been our stopper, before. It's time he steps up and goes deep into the game, so our pen doesn't have much of a chance to continue imploding. We face a lefty, tonight. 7:10 start time. The Yanks are up 5-2 in the 7th, so we don't want to tie them in the loss column, tonight (or ever). The winning stretch begins T O D A Y !
-
Maybe we should have been sellers.
-
I liked him, too, and was surprised they DFA'd him, and even more surprised no GM claimed him. I think Cordero starting 4/1 made sense. I still have not given up on Cordero or Dalbec down the road. I'd call up Munoz, DFA Santana and demote Arauz, today.
-
We got 4 players for Beni and saved a little money, despite paying KC $2.8M for this year, only.
-
I have no clue, but prospects, especially younger ones, often get better in their weakest areas, because that is what their coaches focus on improving. I am far from a prospect expert, but I like Jimenez, or in other words, I like what I have read about him. I would think he'd get better, but he has a lot of getting better to do in that split. (Also, the sample size is rather small- 60 PAs in 2021 after a full season and 2021 April off.)
-
Did you foresee us going 2 and 20?
-
The fact is, has any s*** we threw at the wall not stunk? We are like 0 for 5, and we keep thinking the 6th guy will work.
-
You may be adding Munoz to that list, shortly. Maybe not. Like I said, I'd call him up. A little more s*** on the wall can't hurt. It can't smell any worse.
-
2019: .894 v R .728 v L (respectable at that age)
-
He still has a long way to go. If he still sucks on splits by AA or AAA, then, yes.
-
I could be wrong, but I expect us to go significantly over the tax line in 2022- perhaps $19.9M over. I also think the idea is to play Schwarber at 1B, even in 2022, assuming we extend or re-sign him. If we sign him beyond 2022, maybe he takes JD's DH slot. Maybe he ends up in LF, if we trade an OF'er or someone flops. I think we sign... A strong SP'er (#1 older pitcher or #2 middle aged) A strong set up man or closer A 1Bman A utility IF'er Maybe a 5th FA (pitching depth or utility-type player) We may spend $30-40M on new FAs or extensions (Devers/Bogey/JD?)
-
I am super high on Kike's defense in CF, and I was the minute we signed him, while everyone else was saying he's best at 2B. I also think Arroyo, once healthy, is better in the line-up than Duran. I am still very high on Duran. In fact, I placed him above Casas on my prospect ranking list- second only to Mayer. This is not about any shortcomings Duran may have. It's about me liking Kike in CF and Arroyo at 2B more. I still had Duran starting more often than not, which may end up being more than Cora will plans to do.
-
They obviously saw other teams improving, but felt we could hold our own (.500 ish) until we were able to add Sale, Houck, Schwarber, Arroyo, Brasier... This plan still may work, except the .500 ish part.
-
And in addition, the few good or promising ones we have are held with such high value to the team that further weakening an already weak farm is so counterproductive and anti-rebuild that Bloom probably had to be wowed to part with one, let alone the several it would have taken to get many of the players some posters hoped we'd end up getting.
-
Strange prediction. Jimenez has more upside than any other OF prospect, including maybe Duran. His defense has been shaky, but so was Duran's. Plus, we don't know how much Bloom and other GMs value Jimenez or any of our prospects.
