    We can all see the move backfired, but this constant saying it "made no sense," or they are "idiots" for not predicting these results, is a bit much.
  2. moonslav59
    I get it. My point was the attempt was to move away from that, and it backfired on both ends. Gio missed the whole year, and Sale doesn't miss a start. There was an explanation, and there was some reason involved in the decision. I would not call someone an idiot for not predicting Sale would do this, after 4 years of nothing or that Gio would not make a single start. We guessed wrong. It sucks. It's not the first time we guessed wrong on pitching choices.

    Pitching Jansen, that game saved Smith for today. LOL.

    Wikelman had a nice game (4IP 2H 1ER 1BB 5K) Anthony 2-5 w 2B & BB Campbell 0-3 w 2BB Woo gut smashed in game 1 (8-1.) Wilson pitched 4 no hit innings for DSL Blue.

    Almost as importantly, if they told him they were going to try, does he believe them?

    AB/HR (over 300) 2 in the top 10... 10.3 Judge 13.0 Ohtani 13.3 Ozuna 13.5 Santander 13.7 O'Neill 14.1 Rooker 14.1 Henderson 14.3 Harper 14.6 Soto 14.6 Devers Not enough ABs: 13.0 Casas 17.5 Westbrook

    If we could just put it all together: the pitching from the first 6 weeks with the offense from the last few weeks/months. Even with Casas on the IL, we have 9 guys over .710 and 11 over .690. .963 Devers (1st in HRs and RBI & on pace for best OPS in career) .891 O'Neill (20 HRs in 273 ABs) .865 Duran (1st in XBH, TB and 22 SBs in 26 tries) .844 Refsnyder (OBP of .389 is tops on team) .794 Abreu (.857 v RHPs) .794 Wong (3rd best OBP at .358) .723 Hamilton (25 SBs in 29 attempts) .715 Yoshida (.343 OBP is respectable) .711 Romy (Surprisingly okay) .697 Smith (Doing better after a horrible start to season) .690 Rafaela (2nd in RBI) .575 McGuire (not much good to say)

    I get plenty wrong, and admit it, easily. Slaten is not even scheduled for a rehab game, yet. So much for "facts." Nixon, who? I mentioned the age mistake, because you've gotten the ages wrong like 8 out of the last 10 times, right before saying "that's a fact."
  9. moonslav59
    I hope not, but doing nothing or very little is a real possibility. I'd rather sell on Jansen, O'Neill & Pivetta to improve our chances in the next few years, than do next to nothing.
  10. moonslav59
    He's 4th in XBHs in MLB. 60 Judge & Ohtani 56 Witt 55 Duran He's 6th in TB 246 Ohtani 242 Judge 240 Witt 226 Henderson 218 Ozuna 217 Duran He's 11th in SB (DHam is tied for 4th.)

    We should have kept Pablo Reyes as a pitcher, too!
  12. moonslav59
    It would be easy to think we should throw in the towel on 2024, after a game and road trip like this one, but there is no great team in the AL, and even NYY & BAL look beatable. I still hope we buy, but I'd rather see us sell than do nothing of "play it safe" by halfway buying. I guess trading some players that are not part of our long term plans to try and improve our 2024 a little bit, would not be horrible, but I kinda hope the "pick a lane" comment was not a sham, too.

    Post of the Week!

    So much for our run differential being skewed by big blow-out wins.
  15. moonslav59
    I guess some were wrong about him leaving. I don't expect anyone to own up. I'm glad he'll be back.
  16. moonslav59
    I don't pay for that site. It's not even worth discussing. Some team might want a back-up catcher. They may give up a level A prospect: they may not.
  17. moonslav59
    What a major clustergame. Series. Road trip.
  18. moonslav59
    LOL. Good one!
  19. moonslav59
    Not sure why you continuously poo-poo Ref. Besides, I did not expect to get much for McGuire, and not a ton for Ref.
  20. moonslav59
    IDK or care.
  21. moonslav59
    I hope we buy (with Abreu and/or prospects ranked 10-30,) but if we don't, I'd prefer selling than doing nothing or next to nothing. (Jansen, O'Neill, Pivetta, Martin, Anderson and maybe McGuire or Ref (w 1 year left.)
  22. moonslav59
    Do we know how serious?
  23. moonslav59
    I never said "Bad." I added that his sample size is not large enough to know about his 2B defense. I'm not taking the hit over your "confusion" or misquoting text.
  24. moonslav59
    You know my position on this. 1. Calling the right pitches. 2. Getting your pitcher in his comfort zone. 3. Providing a stationary target with your glove. 4. Being able to calm a pitcher down, when rattled. 5. Being a pitcher's binky. Yes, those other things matter, and maybe more than this, but many pitchers credit who is catching them with their success, and might not be all that good at blocking, framing or throwing.
