    Oh no!!!! We suck again!!!
  2. Hugh2
    I think so. Sucks it’s him over Kluber but…..this is the life of a youngster with options sometimes. They should have given Bello 2-3 more starts in the minors anyways

    I’ve been saying this for a week and I’m going to continue beating this drum. Casas is going to break out in a big way.

    The past week the whole staff has been #1 in strike outs. The Sox are also #1 in home runs allowed. To me, if they can do a better job to keep the ball in the yard they will get much better. A lot of those home runs came in 1st starts

    I’m not correcting Rats to Rays. Actually, I think I’m just going to start calling them the rats.
  6. Hugh2
    Up until today the Rats had one series against a team that is NOT a last place team right now. The Rays are good, but let’s see how they look at the all star break. They are on pace for 140 wins, I’d be surprised if they won 100. Not completely shocked but surprised.

    One thing I've noticed over the years, and this applies to more than just sports. Is it takes people a LOT longer to like someone they've decided in their mind is bad, or not good enough etc etc. than it does to take someone to dislike someone they've decided was good. The people who have made up their minds about Yoshida will probably need two back-to-back MVP seasons for them to say "You know what.....it was a good signing" but even then they won't ever go full in wrong they will say something like "yeah well, a more competent GM would have signed him for less money" conversely if someone's favorite player turns out to be serial child murderer rapist then some will exit ship but others would cling to any piece of information out there if it said other wise...even if it was from Myunclesfriendatthegymtoldmesoitcan'tbefake.com It's amazing how the human mind works.

    I’m fine with Chang starting at 1st and Kike starting at 2nD. Sure Duran isn’t great in CF but it makes the infield defense good and his bat has been a huge plus so far. At this point, I think I’d take Chang over Arroyo

    RBIs were the most important thing in the world when a Hunter was out there.
  10. Hugh2
    Duran becomes a completely different player now if he can hit enough to get on base.
  11. Hugh2
    Guys like Chang and Duran are only up because they needed that depth. Same thing with Winck and Crawford. But, the way they are all playing, they need to stay on this team.
  12. Hugh2
    That's why I've been hopeful on him. That and because he was walking a ton. Weird thing is in the past 7 days he's been slugging .500 but with only one walk. It's got to be tough, he's new to the MLB, he's never faced any of these pitchers before so they are all new to him, and he's been getting a lot of LHP to start that journey. With more RHP coming up he could be poised for a breakout. I also want to see how he looks when he starts seeing guys again.

    Lets Say Yoshida is hot and goes 4 for 4 today. His average would be up to .270 I think a lot less people would be complaining about him if it was a steady 270 all year. But that's literally taking away 4 hits today and sprinkling them out over the last 25 days. Maybe we'd still be concerned by his lack of power, but lately, he's showing a little.
  14. Hugh2
    The problem with batting average is it doens't measure walks, and it also doesn't differentiate between a single, a double, a triple, and a HR. Any stat in baseball on it's on doesn't tell a whole story. And.....it's all a SSS at this point. This time of year you can have a good series and raise your stats a lot still.
  15. Hugh2
    I think the Rays are a good team. I didn't think they would go 162-0 and I also don't think they will go 140-22 At a certain point, they will stop playing all last-place teams. Starting today actually. Lets see how the next 3-4 weeks go. This is baseball, and it's a long season.
  16. Hugh2
    No, Paxton will be coming off the shelf soon. Maybe Kluber has a shorter leash than I think and he replaces him after his next start.
  17. Hugh2
    I’d say all our sub .200 guys are better than sub .200 guys. They were bound to start hitting at some point. Which is what they need to do if they’re going to stay in it because other guys are going to come down to earth at some point. It’s a long season.
  18. Hugh2
    You can’t pitch Winck everyday. It’s easy to judge Cora for the decisions he makes when we don’t have to worry about rotating guys, giving them rest, and keeping them healthy for 162 games. Martin is coming back, that should push out the worse performer in the bullpen. Which has generally been pretty good. It might even get better.
  19. Hugh2
    That was my original thought too. But I can see it with Devers coming up
  20. Hugh2
    Yo, I hate to be that AH rooting his own horn but I’ve been beating the Yoshida about to start hitting drum for a week now. You’re welcome
  21. Hugh2
    Another series win vs. a first place team
  22. Hugh2
    What did McGuire start catching for the Brewers
  23. Hugh2
    J-Money and Yoshi let’s get it done
  24. Hugh2
    remember the pen has been pretty good overall. And it will be better when Joely and Martin come back. Because them you can subtract the two worse arms. Ort won’t be around forever
  25. Hugh2
    Casas has walked 9 of the last 10 games. He is top 10 in baseball in P/PA. That’s elite. He knows the strike zone. It’s only a matter of time before this kid starts mashing.
