    We don't have an ace, and yet we win. That should be evidence enough, but I can give you a few examples where we lit up opposing aces or top closers. This team's offense seems to do worse vs newbies, struggling pitchers or journeymen.

    Franchy, my main man! I told you guys we shouldnt demote him! (LOL)

    While good pitching gives every team a better chance of winning than good hitting, it's not even close to "almost every time," or we'd see teams going 28-5 in starts from the best pitchers. Look at Pedro: he was 219-100 overall, yet he was: 11-11 vs NY 11-11 vs ATL 6-7 vs HOU 3-5 vs LAD 4-4 vs STL All teams that hit very well back in those days.

    Dalbec is looking more and more like a platoon player on the wrong end of it.

    It's easier to find a pitcher to send down than choose between Santana or Chavis when Arroyo returns. BTW, the Brasier question may arise before the Sale one Someone may get hurt before then, or someone mya be struggling so much, the choice is easy. If the choice is hard, we're probably still doing very well, so it's a good problem to have..

    The players also love Cora because he's a winner, and they win with him. I'm not saying I agree with resting players as much as he does, but it's a long season, and we'll need our big 4 hitters healthy and fresh all season long to have any real chance at winning it all, this year.
  7. moonslav59
    Good point, and maybe he just needs a rest.
  8. moonslav59
    I wouldn't say Duran has "legendary power" either. He had 3 HRs in 3 seasons of college and 8 HRs in 880 PAs before this year. (15 in 957 career)
  9. moonslav59
    Well said, I agree 100%. If he does well, so be it. He's got just one more arb year left.
  10. moonslav59
    Guys, get used to it: it's Jarren Duran not Jarred.
  11. moonslav59
    Nobody is saying Henry does not have the final word. The point of contention is does he voice his over-riding commands over everything?
  12. moonslav59
    No Plawecki.
  13. moonslav59
    It was opening day, so there was a big sense of excitement, but the place was not all that unlike any domed stadium I've been to, and I've been to a lot. It's certainly not as nice as Houston's.
  14. moonslav59
    Then, at least account for the $2M of so we saved and call it the Cordero & Renfroe for Beni trade, or maybe Cordero & Marwin or Sawamura...
  15. moonslav59
    What about the Booby V (intentionally misspelled) fiasco? BTW, I think Henry lays out a plan with priorities, and the GM does his own think within that plan, like "I want this to be a high priority: reset in 2020 and stay under in 2021."
  16. moonslav59
    I went to an opening day game there, years ago- the bullpen by committee season- where we blew a big lead in the bottom of the 9th (Chad Fox?) I didn't think the place was all that bad.
  17. moonslav59
    This is another reason it's so hard to sweep. Cora seems to do this more than anyone else. He DH'd Bogey and others, recently, so I thought maybe he'd rest some of these guys a kittle less than his "norm." I'm still not sure why he does two at a time. Let's see if my man, Danny Santana can carry the load, again.
  18. moonslav59
    Contrary to what some posters claimed, maybe as hyperbole, Dave never totally "emptied" or "gutted" the farm. He just nearly did. He kept Devers and a few others.
  19. moonslav59
    ...until Arroyo returns. Both Santana and Arroyo hit righties better than Cordero. We could, however, see Santana at 1B vs some tough righties, as Dalbec has been really bad on that split.
  20. moonslav59
    Can we stop acting lke this was a straight up Franchy for Beni trade?
  21. moonslav59
    In the bag.
  22. moonslav59
    Really. You win 9 straight and weren't that far behind to begin with, and still you can't take the lead!
  23. moonslav59
    He's really struggling at the plate. We need some trash can- banging!
  24. moonslav59
    Well, Marwin was his first born.
  25. moonslav59
    Duran went 5 for 5 (2 HRs & 2B) and brought his OPS over 1.000. Downs & Munoz homered, too. Portland: Meneses with 3 hits- Casas with 2. All 4 teams won.
