  1. I don’t think you get the point…
  2. That’s your go to for a psychoanalyst joke? That’s like needing a physician reference for a punchline, and settling on Dr. Dre…
  3. Well I was referring to his career. In CF, I think of him as the weak link on this team. And a big part of the reason getting Story or Mondesi back will push Kike back into CF…
  4. Some people just come here to vent. And sometimes their baseball vents might not be related to baseball at all…
  5. No Shift is already a failure because it’s still legal to move the CF to short RF where the 2b used to play in the old shift. This creates the exact scenario the league wanted to ban, but in a perfectly legal way…
  6. Do they have message boards under every listicle?
  7. I thought Arroyo would be the clear better hitter. Duvall’s game is defense and slugging. He certainly has power, but there is also A LOT of swing and miss in him. His K% is over 30% each of the last two seasons. It’s probably not coming back down. But over the last 3 years, OPS+ has them roughly equal. Arroyo at 102 and Duvall at 100…
  8. Chang is already on the 40. The problem is in order to get Alfaro on the 40, someone has to go. You suggested Ort. While I’m an 100% on board with that option, it’s not going to happen. I’m suggesting Chang, who never should have been added over Alfaro in the first place, will be DFAd. Chang is also pretty likely to go unclaimed so he is pretty likely to be retained. Apparently this is of some mild importance to Bloom, since he keeps adding the guy to the Reserve List…
  9. Not sure if Duvall is better than Arroyo. He is more durable, which helps a lot…
  10. You do watch some movies with horribly polite but somehow still frighteningly boring homicidal maniacs. “Please use a coaster.”
  11. I doubt Bloom exposes Valdez or Hamilton to waivers and a subsequent claim. I could see Chang getting DFAd and brought back…
  12. Mid-April. He might be back by Tax Day. I haven’t looked at the schedule yet, but normally April schedules have enough early off-days that full five man rotations are not always necessary.
  13. Still playing that sad sad stupid game where you think you’re the intelligent one…
  14. So you fail to see the hypocrisy here? Not real shocked..
  15. Do you even know what a metric is? It’s just a system of measurement…
  16. Also adding Chang over a third catcher might prove a mistake if Wong isn’t ready. But it will be Chang - and not Ort - who gets DFAd…
  17. Please just leave Houck in the bullpen. Paxton will miss at most one start. Let Murphy or Walters handle it…
  18. A question that could just as easily be directed at you…
  19. So then did you have a point to begin with?
  20. The difference is I openly admit I partake in said behavior. Not surprised you missed the point . (See!! Right there! That was me doing it again and here I am acknowledging it!)
  21. Point? I understand defense and don’t think every player who has a bad season is washed up. Not really sure what the dig is. And Gallo is an elite defensive RF, probably the second best one in MLB, and certainly is in that argument. I mean, I suppose I’d be down on either move if I put my faith solely in batting average, which is the most useless offensive stat…
  22. Well, at least you’re one of the nice posters who never engages in anything so immature and personal. I read it on here. From you no less…
  23. Also in case you failed to notice yesterday when Gallo was batting, the non-shift rule is already a failure…
  24. Post 8118 https://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/20361-Fire-Bloom?p=1521559#post1521559 You keep picking on people who said 4 years. At least they can count past two. Now do I go find the post where you tried to establish medical credentials for Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio?
