    Moon, Whitlock gave up a hit, walked two, threw 37 pitches. I don't care what the stats say, he is not elite.
  2. Nick
    I hope he told Cora that he sucks.
  3. Nick
    True......I feel as though Breslow is always going for the inside straight on the river and the board shows a possible full house.

    This will be the first year I won't subscribe to MLB.TV. You can all make fun of me but it's more about how to spend my 3 hours of free time. Money is secondary.

    Couple of thoughts...... We had entire winter to fix our outfield situation and did not. It wasn't just that we had Duran, Rafael, Abreu and Anthony for three spots but their 'other' position, "DH, was going to be shared with Yoshida. Duran I believed played in 170 games couple of years ago. He missed two due to suspension? I think he's the type that has to keep playing to play well. Now not only is he not available to DH because Yoshida needs his at bats, he has to sit because you only have 4 positions for 5 players. Breslow again sold us on untried Oviedo. Just frekin' take the sure thing. YOU HAVE TO GIVE TO GET. What are you, some wall street fraudster? By retaining all four outfielders, individually, their market is declining. If I bought this team today, I'd fire everyone on the staff and start over. Get rid of Yoshida. Not because I hate the guy, he simply adds problems to the whole puzzle.

    Well I was at the game. Just curious about Early. I know he did not give up any runs but I thought he struggled with location of his pitches. Don’t get me started on Weissert. He nibbled on the FH and walks him. I hate our guys that can’t throw strikes. As far as I’m concerned Whitlock is no better. The team sucks. They are not fun to watch. Both Story and Yoshida needs to be gone. Looking forward to 2028 season.

    Here's the ultimate question. Historically, do the right handed hitters have a better split than the left handed hitters? So Yaz was .692 (?) vs left handed pitchers? So Cora would have platooned him?
  8. Nick
    Cora will need to manage Whitlock's work load. Despite reports of being in a 'pitching shape', he continues to disappoint. He still lacks put away pitch. Afraid to pitch to the leadoff hitter, expending who knows how many pitches. Then throws a lazy changeup over the middle of the plate for a winning hit. I hope we come up with a better 8th inning solution. Definitely not a closer. Will he be ever the guy remembered as having his best season his rookie year as a Rule 5 guy?

    Mayer out with left knee soreness. Will be back in the lineup Tuesday. Geeze....23 years old and body is imploding. Lets not extend this guy. One play away from being on IL.
  10. Nick
    But Crawford was slowed by the flu ...... I'm speechless. Luckily Crochet takes good care of his body.

    If I'm the owner, I'd tell everyone except for Bres to shut up about the off season. Of course it was Bres that said something to the effect, successful playoff teams all had power bats and maybe we needed some. I don't ever want to hear from Kennedy.
  12. Nick
    Moon, I'm done with 'hoping' for Big Bats or 2nd Ace type of free agent signings. Just trust Brez and Company to keep developing young talent so we have some trade chips to upgrade the team. We ain't never signing Schwarber type.
  13. Nick
    I will have to go with Kimmi's approach this year. The goal simply is to get into the playoffs. We'll then roll the dice and hope our starting pitching will get us to the World Series.
  14. Nick
    We can use some humor from time to time. I deal with female athletes. They hate me using the word BIG.
  15. Nick
    Oviedo is the biggest member of a big family. “My dad is like 6-2, something like that. My mom is huge,” he said. “I feel like I kind of got that from her. She’s like 5-11 I think but she’s like big and wide and huge legs. She’s a monster of (a) woman.” I love it but not sure about his mom. "Son, really? I'm BIG AND WIDE AND HAVE HUGE LEGS?" lol

    Not sure where to put this. I saw where MLB had rankings of relievers (late inning guys?). Chapman was #1 and Whitlock #6. I want to see Whitlock as a 1 inning guy from get go this year, pitching either 8th or 9th inning. Going two hurts him in the long run. I thought he ran out of gas last year. Case in point? His last outing. Sometimes he's unable to put guys away and that leads to running up pitch count, especially doing two inning stints. Find a guy to pitch the 7th. Use Kutter as the bulk guy to start out the season.
  17. Nick
    I would like to know if Sandoval and Kutter are ready to go from day 1?
  18. Nick
    We're only about $2M above the second luxury tax threshold. I think we'll move someone, Sandoval maybe to get under it.
  19. Nick
    Our player acquisition mode appears to be to load up on young talent then exchange them for better talent. Examples include players with long term contracts such as Rafaela and Bello. Assuming they are on upward trajectory production wise, it's easier to trade them if an opportunity arises to upgrade the team. I would put our newly acquired infielder from Milwaukee in that category also. Six years of team control is sweet. Perhaps in couple of years we may be able to package a combination of three players and others in exchange for another top of the line pitcher. I do like the decisiveness of Bres to package away some of our reduncy.

    What are the chances that Boston Red Sox shrewdly had 2 Rookie of the Year candidates finish 3rd in the balloting, thus avoiding having to 'surrender' extra year of service? Obviously it didn't make any difference for Anthony who received an eight year deal starting in 2026. John Henry loves this trade.
  21. Nick
    I never disagree with Kimmi. Yeah, what she said.
  22. Nick
    I never disagree with Kimmi. Yeah, what she said. (nothing like giving him 164 days of service time. Thank you, Milwaukee)
  23. Nick
    We also have 5 right handed bats without platooning.......
  24. Nick
    and on his toes....
  25. Nick
    I guessed wrong!
