    My only point was after last night, we would go with our #1 option tonight and that's been Winckowski. If you don't think Winck has been our best bullpen arm then we have nothing to talk about. Yeah you are right about if Kutter did his job I wouldn't be second guessing. But isn't that the point? Second guess when you don't succeed?

    I am wonderin why not pitch Winckowski at the start? We need to win this game. Up 3-1, let Winckowski pitch 3 innings then our closer? Now we have wasted 2 long guys. Do our people have any clue running a baseball team?

    7 games in 6 days.....not a good start.
  4. Nick
    Bello did his job. He was the opener. Lol

    What about the Reds with the best record in the strike season? But they failed to win neither the first half and the second half and therby missing the playoffs?

    Vaz hitting around .550 OPS. 3 years $30M. Yikes.

    Ok this thing with winning a series that TV heads love to talk about but has no relevance. It's been bugging me. In a 3 game series, if you win all 3 games, then you can reverse previous serires 'loss' as a serires win. The reverse is true if you lose all 3 games. So in our recent road trip where we went 2-1 in series win, because we lost all 3 games to the Angels, it essentially turned one of the series win to a loss. Thus we went 1-2, which coincides wwith our 4-5 record. Any questions?

    So if we miss out on playoffs, this is why. At least he wasn't hurt. Probably why we didn't pursue him harder.
  9. Nick
    We paid the A's $75K. Obviously he's earning minimum major league wage.
  10. Nick
    I don't see a $75K player getting picked by anyone.
  11. Nick
    I just don't see Reyes' value being higher than Chang. No way.
  12. Nick
    He's making $5.35M this year. If we happen to DFA Kluber, I'm not sure if we can afford to move away from Pivetta just yet. I was hoping we'd get a solid reliever for Pivetta in July.
  13. Nick
    I read somewhere Cora has stated Story will be the ss.
  14. Nick
    Keeping track of series wins and losses is the most meaningless exercise. On our road trip, we won two and lost 1 series. Yet we had a losing record.

    You are right......but in my defense, when the board talks about all the catching defensive metrics, it's way over my head. So although I didn't compliment McGuire, I didn't tear him down either. Sometimes it's good to be dumb or stupid. I'm more with Red, I have to watch to see how good they are...my eye test told me Duran and Casas sucked today.
  16. Nick
    I'm messing with you all....disappointing day.

    I would say maybe if our window of winning opens up next year and coincides with this acquisition. So we will have 3 years of this Marlins pitcher?

    I didn't like pitch selection in 1st inning. Nothing but hard stuff. All the Rays pitchers learn to throw a changeup. Whitlock was successul in part due to speed differentials last night. So i will blow up two over blown thoughts. 1 Houk gets worse second and third time around. How did that work today? 2 Wong is sooooo much better defesively. Who caught Whitlock last night? Now I do like Wong better because of his athleticism.
  19. Nick
    Good deals should work for both sides. Maybe this does. We do need to replace Paxton at minimum.
  20. Nick
    I am all for upgrading our roster at every turn. Although the wheels turn slowly at times, it's encouraging that we have moved from Brasier and Ort along with going away fron Kluber and Pivetta as starters. At least Bloom is trying and not just sit on his ass.
  21. Nick
    Not only are getting back Duvall and Story, we should have money to pick up some rentals in July without giving away top prospects. Our 6 through 8 in the bullpen may need an upgrade.
  22. Nick
    So I got to see Whitlock pitch (on TV) last night and today it's Houck. Tuesday it's back to Bello. We are unlikely to win the world series this year. But I'm going to enjoy our youngters play. My expectation isn't as high as some of yours.
  23. Nick
    Best thing about Whitlock outing last night was he can improve on it. He must have gone full count at least six times. I thought he got some bad calls based on the square I see watching TV. Also encouraging to see many swings and misses. Glad he is back and he obviously came back with a better change up.
  24. Nick
    Looks to me like our new starting 5 can't do much worse.
  25. Nick
    Baseball indeed is a business. One unusual aspect is you can't be 100% sure of the personnel you are acquiring. We have been obsessed with Jose Abreu from the time we supposedly barely missed out on the slugger who went to the White Sox. On the heels of that we bid and got a player the following year for big money. He was so bad that we had to hide his enormous contract in the minors. He did not make our 40 man roster. We did not wanted to be further penalized by the luxury tax. It's very disconcerting to think we were set to sign Abreu for almost $60M over 3 years. Fortunately for Bloom Abreu at the last minute picked Houston instead of the Sox. He's having a horrendous year. Bloom lucked out.
