Let's just hope he has an 'uptick' before the deadline and we're out of it. Surely someone will want him. I don't see a scenario where he improves to another level and stay there for further improvement. He will pitch well for a stretch but revert back to his old trick.

You have been around forever. Should we simply trade a player that's had a career season thinking it's as good as it gets? It's probably better than 50/50 odd that the player will never return to repeat the season. Sure there are exceptions. But In retrospect, should we have traded Duran two years ago when his value was the max?

I am just waiting for 2027 to expire along with Yoshida ($18M) and Story's ($23M) contracts. If current situation does not improve, it's time to clean house at the trade deadline. Bring up young pitching prospects. Get rid of Bello. I watched the replay of his last start and I literally became very ill when I saw his pitch count in the 1st inning reach 34 and counting. He more than any other pitcher in our organization requires an Opener.

Not to mention insisting on Kike bat leadoff. Cora can be a joke. He becomes fixated on a player and has trouble moving off of it.

Breslow.......looking at successful playoff teams, they all have power bats (ok, I'm making up that quote). So we'll focus on pitching and defense, instead. Looks like we're 0-2. We complain about JH being cheap, but how about getting value for $1 spent Mr. Ivy Leaguer Breslow? How is that 2 year $18M deal working out for Sandoval? This team will never be World Series contender as long everything we do is 'layered'. No decisiveness from Cora or the management. We think as long as we have multitude of options, we'll be fine. We end up 40 mediocre players with versatility who suck at multiple positions. Hey, but Cora has options. It's a beautiful thing when it works. Cora throws his arm out patting himself on the back.

Who knew Anthony has a horrible arm. Ugh.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa has been even worse. He’s also received a whopping eight plate appearances this season, and a -58 wRC+ is all he has to show for it. The team committed $6 million to the veteran journeyman during the offseason and it looks now like that could be wasted money. Breslow to Henry...."Yes, but I was smart enough only to give a guy a one year deal".

I'm just frustrated never knowing what we will get from him game to game. Not sure when the 'consistency' will kick in this year. Today? End of April? May?

sorry, long time fan but I'm not sure what that means?

He throws just hard enough to get hit HARD. That's always been my opinion of him.

All true, but I haven't trusted him since his rookie year in big situations. All I remember is last year's playoffs and what happened pitching for USA.

I mean Whitlock didn't help himself by giving up a hit and two walks. But this is typical than 3 up 3 down to me when it comes to Whitlock. He'll be the second coming of Matt Barnes in due time.

So sick of talking about injury prone pitchers. One thing we're good at...starting a MASH unit.

Xander has 7 years left at $25M AFTER 2026 season. Ugh.

Impressed that Gray went 6 innings with NO WALKS. Pretty much the stat I look at for pitchers anymore.
