    Just so you know, while you were gone, this winter, I've been posting incessantly about how much our defense has improved, especially when Grissom replaces EValdez at 2B. Our D sucked, last year. It was 30th in MLB. That was not Cora's fault. I'm probably second to you in showing support for Cora.
  2. moonslav59
    He is a legit defender. I do worry about muscle bound players getting hurt on D.
  3. moonslav59
    Better defense is in-dated.
  4. moonslav59
    Jansen was unavailable. Martin, Campbell and Weissert were already used. Wink pitched 2 innings and 41 pitches the night before. The choices were Joely, Slaten & Anderson. There was no great choice. Again, I am not defending Cora or Joely, but other choices looked sketchy, too.
  5. moonslav59
    I am far from that position, but that aspect of his strategy bugs the hell out of me. Resting hot hitters. Planning days off that sometimes fall vs wrong-handed pitchers.

    Is Abreu in a coma?
  7. moonslav59
    It's too early to know if he was playing over his head, last season.
  8. moonslav59
    The ETA on Hendriks is AUG 1, 2024.
  9. moonslav59
    Plus, it hurts our D (Duran in CF,) and gives the ice-cold Abreu more playing time.
  10. moonslav59
    Not likely. Jansen would have been trying to pitch while hurt.
  11. moonslav59
    Signings like Gio seem to hurt more. The Paxton and hendriks signings were based on them missing time, early, and that is why the contract was reflective of that fact. Was Paxton worth it? Pretty close call.
  12. moonslav59
    We also signed Paxton a couple years ago, knowing the first year was a wash. We've had our share of injuries, especially to many of our top paid players. Sale Story Giolito Paxton Kluber Nate ERod (COVID) Price

    Agreed, but it's not like Joely let up a 480 ft HR. A little luck and this thread is 4 pages shorter. I'm not defending Joely or Cora, but I'm also not bashing Cora.
  14. moonslav59
    What is the $41K number mean? ($41M?) Hendriks probably will pitch, this year.
  15. moonslav59
    No. I never said a peep about Jansen or even using Joely. I support Cora way more than others. I did not mean to imply Cora called for the steal attempt, but it really hurt. On the "only one lefty" thing, I agree, but many RHPs do very well vs LHPs. The bloop hit was unfortunate. Had that ball been caught, Cora would not be bashed.
  16. moonslav59
    Rafaela on the bench.
  17. moonslav59
    1. L Duran CF 2. L Devers 3B 3. R Story SS 4. L Casas 1B 5. L Yoshida DH 6. R O'Neill LF 7. L Abreu RF 8. L E Valdez 2B 9. L McGuire C It's just like Cora to bench one of our hottest hitter. I guess the 23 year old is in need of a "scheduled day off." We only have 3 batters over a .641 OPS, and Rafaela and Wong are two of them- both are on the bench, tonight. Plus, Duran in CF hurts the D.

    I'm in a pool of 25 at $20 per entry. If TN wins it all, I win $500 (-$40 in 2 entry fees) I'm out of it by 1 pt in my UCONN pool.
  19. moonslav59
    Don't forget the caught stealing by Reyes before that double.
  20. moonslav59
    Let's not forget how the defense hurt our chances at winning, last night, too. (There were also some cheesy hits, but that is all part of the game.) 1st inning Bunt single to Reyes & bad throw moves runner to 2B Ground ball single scores an unearned run. 10th inning Bloop single down LF line Line drive single to RF- runner advance to 3B on throwing error. Line drive single scores winning run from 3B. (Not sure if runner scores from 2B on that hit.) I will say, some of us look correct when we wondered why Bernardino did not make the 26 over Joely.
  21. moonslav59
    If this was a tone-setter, yuck-a-doodle-doo!
  22. moonslav59
    Just because Joely is a lefty doesn't mean he's good.
  23. moonslav59
    Haniger always scares the beJesus out of me.
  24. moonslav59
    Van Belle went 5 scoreless. 5 Hits 0 BB 6 Ks Yesterday, Gambrell went 4 scoreless. 3 Hits 2 BB 7 Ks 9 scoreless IP by Woo's rotation to start the year.

    Yuu, a damn good pitcher.
