  1. And yet both are doing their jobs. And I say this as one who has been critical of the Wilson signing since seconds after it happened…
  2. Long history of arm trouble has kept him down. He is earning a cup of coffee right now. But he’ll probably give himself third degree burns with it…
  3. You can always go see Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena…
  4. Your backyard sounds like an episode of “Marty Stouffer’s Wild America”. I’m jealous…
  5. What is it in Mayer’s past performance that lead to this conclusion? The scouting reports on Soxprospects says “Instinctual defender with fluid actions. Looks like he is gliding on the field. Soft hands and solid footwork. Moves well and has plenty of range for shortstop. Confident defender; will take a flashy infield.” Hardly the same level of criticism…
  6. So you think the best defensive SS above A ball in the entire organization should be utilized at the easiest defensive position on the field?
  7. Calling up the kids isn’t going to fix the bullpen. (Well, maybe Guerrero.) But have we really reached the point where every stumble is an excuse to call up Anthony and/or Mayer? It is possible moving Tanner Houck to the bullpen could help. Houck is having a bizarre season in the rotation. In 43.2 IP, he has been charged with 38 ER. In 43 of those IP, he’s given up 21 ER. And in the other 0.2 IP, he’s been charged with 18 ER. He’s not shown he can be trusted as a starter. Hopefully a move to the bullpen can produce a turnaround similar to what St. Louis is getting out of Steve Matz. That does leave a gaping hole in the rotation. With Crochet, Giolito, Dobbins and Bello in place, there’s no real option for a fifth. Criswell? Newcomb? Most likely someone like that until one of Buehler, Crawford or Fitts returns. (Although I think Fitts should go to the bullpen, too.)
  8. Is Hendriks hurt or something? Why bring Weissert back out?
  9. He gave up a single. If not for stupid Ghost Runner rules, you’d think nothing of it…
  10. The emergence of Abreu does have me thinking Duran is the best trade bait. But no rush to promote Anthony. If you deal away an OF, and promote Anthony, then who takes over for the next injury? Trayce Thompson?
  11. So Seiya Suzuki was relegated by the Cubs to the DH role when the team acquired Kyle Tucker and was openly less than thrilled by it. This week, Ian Happ went down. Starting in LF tonight for the Cubs - Seiya Suzuki. You didn’t know this because he just shut up and went out there and played …
  12. I’d welcome an iguana in my house. And I’d name him Clancy, after the underappreciated Clancy Brown, whom I have now mentioned in multiple threads in a span of minutes…
  13. And the very underappreciated Clancy Brown. That guy sneaks into everything…
  14. I know, right. I will say, knocking 8-10 mph off a pitch can mess with a hitter’s timing. For Cleveland closet Doug Jones racked up like 300 career saves throwing changeup after changeup…
  15. Huh? In 1985, the lottery wasn’t weighted (which I just learned). That means ALL SEVEN TEAMS IN IT HAD A 14.29% CHANCE. Yet somehow you’re now trying to argue that the Knicks 14% chance was worse than that of Seattle or Golden State or the other four teams. This is not beating the odds; this is fourth grade math. This draft was the first lottery and therefore has its share of conspiracy theories. But they all just ignore that the Knicks chance was as good as anyone else’s. Also with four future Hall of Famers in the first round, the Knicks (and other teams, notably Utah) had a good chance and revitalizing their franchises…
  16. How dare you disparage legendary actor James Whitmore!!!
  17. Cora seems to ignore who he can trust. Bernardino, Weissert, Hendriks and Wilson have given him a combined 20 innings without an earned run in the last two weeks. So who is in facing the white hot Javy Baez with men on base?
  18. I think it’s more like we’re seeing why the Yankees left him unprotected. His arm is fragile, and multiple surgeries have extended his career, but apparently didn’t improve it…
  19. Houck went from 1.3 bWAR in his first full year as a starter to 3.5 bWAR in his second. Casas keeps getting hurt and really has only one full season under his belt. Can’t blame Cora for that. Hamilton absolutely showed massive steps forward last year. This year he’s rarely playing. Wing is never going to be an All Star, bet he is absolutely better than he was when they acquired him…
  20. Blatant lie!! On Saturdays you sleep until noon!
  21. Even if he gets one, at least they’re talking about it. It would be much more concerning if they weren’t…
  22. There you have it. Ironclad innuendo. And why was the Knicks lottery win - again third worst team, third best odds - suddenly magical? They had a good chance at winning. Unlike your arguments ;)
