    But what thesis are you trying to make that this would fall under? What was the original disagreement. Is it 85 wins vs 87 wins? Because in2025 we were 7th in runs scored / game and in 2026 we were 23rd. In runs allowed, we were 10th in 2025 but in 2026 we were third. So going from 2025 to 2026, our pitching got much better. Our hitting got way worse. My thesis is you over-prioritized pitching. If your point is that we were able to go from 10th best pitching to 3rd best pitching despite losing our ace, you are making my point for me, so TY. And here you are again, saying that on a team that was 23d in runs scored, and 3rd in runs allowed - and is already adding Crochet to 3rd in runs allowed....You are day dreaming about Skubal. ANd telling me that the 23rd ranked offense in runs scored is grrrrrrreat

    The team brez built was a swerve after he revolved his whole offseason around resigning Bregman, but was unable to communicate with Bregman without slapping him in the face. And I disagree that it was a budget issue. I dont necessarily agree that 0% chance of Ranger if got Bregman. We got one year of Gray, and Ranger to a contract that is so far so good.

    Id bet that we were were the #23 offense last year.

    Hes not the same hitter.

    Niether TH nor Masa will start for the dodgers in LF next year.
  6. drewski6
    He was in the 15th percentile last year at -5 , defensive value. And I think it would have been worse if he played the whole year. I think that today, Masa might be the better defensive LF, if Im being honest.
  7. drewski6
    He means the existence of Ohtani means they would not want Yoshida. And I agree. But they also do not want TH. TH is also a DH, and had a WAR of 1 last year. Dodgers are not going to just pencil him in at LF next year. They fix their holes, they dont think about how much money they've already allocated to the position. Its more of a change of scenery / bad-contract swap. If we are including Duran, then they have a couple reasons to do it.

    I think it has worked out so far so good, but eventually we'll want to get through the first round. And while I agree that Gray should be priority, if we noodlebat out against the yankees, I will not feel like just mead and returning contreras, and hoping on RA to emerge as superstar - will be enough. And if we roll into it next year and noodlebat 3 times running, you may hear some stuck with Breslow talk. But its worked out better than I expected, Ill give you that.

    A yoshida for Hernandez trade could make sense.

    1-0 victory on a solo Story HR

    Beat the Yankees and Ill be happy that Bres got extended. Lose to the yankees with no thump in the bats, then breslow will still have won some rope from me, but i would err towards locking him up few years out was premature.
  12. drewski6
    No we are upset at the posters going to lengths to high five themselves after saying stuff like we had one of the best offseasons all time last year. We are set up on the positional side better than any team in history. I think our top 3 offseason list should be pitching, pitching , pitching. Lets see if we score in NY is all Im saying.
  13. drewski6
    Im holding out my opinion on Breslows season because the most important games of the year are still to play. To me, if we cant score and lose, then he took a team that struggled to hit was carried by the rotation to the playoffs, and then couldnt hit well enough in the playoffs to get out of the first round (2025) and turned them into a team that struggled to hit, was carried by the rotation to the playoffs, and couldnt hit well enough in the playoffs to get out of the first round (2026). I understand that Joe Brady wants to annoint him GM of the decade and is already talking about his pitcher heavy wishlist this offseason - but we dont throw parades for teams that lose in the first round. And sure, we made it, and Im happy to have playoff baseball. But we wouldnt have made it if we were NL. It looks to me like we are an above average team very strong on pitching, but equally weak on the runs created side. Final tally is in, and we were 23 out of 30 in runs scored.

    With a lot of the position players already set, and a team that looks like its going to noodlebat the season away 2 years running, we may need to add a lot of production in only one spot, and Im not sure that Paredes is enough. But we'll see. Im open to Paredes if we dont noodle it down the drain this week.

    He thinks he's serious

    If owen smashes AA next year, gets called up to AAA and keeps raking - and Roman continues to struggle to stay healthy, keep his drinking in check, hit the ball in the air.....then youll start hearing owen is the new roman Also, every letter in owen is in new roman Therefore: you cant spell "new roman" without owen Am I nailing these?
  17. drewski6
    Rolls off the tongue well tho
  18. drewski6
    Roman better get his act together before I start up the Owen is the new Roman (Im not there yet)
  19. drewski6
    Hes toolsy, and I believe that the guy they got in the first round (coincidentally, but maybe not) his teammate and roommate was an underslot and the real prize of the draft is Owen Hull.
  20. drewski6
    Win one series Im happy. Win one game against the Yankees with the bats and lose the series, and Ill prob be happy. I just dont want to see us lose in 2 or 3 games, with 5 or less total runs scored.
  21. drewski6
    Sure. I dont think its as close to 1.0 as real life allows. That may be a bit too far, but its a great indicator. Regarding the homerism - no beef. But its the complacency. We've won one playoff series in the last seven years (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) and this year will make it 8 years. If we lose to the Yankees, it will be 0 in 5 years. Yet you frequently frame RS fans as impossible to please complainers, and defend literally every move the front office makes.
  22. drewski6
    Yes, I know the pitching has carried us and is a real strength. We have a chance of beating the Yankees and advancing further because of the pitching. But #3 in runs allowed, and #20 in runs scored - doesnt feel good enough. The goal is not to be above average.
  23. drewski6
    For the playoffs to be random , that would imply that every team making it has an equal chance. So far from the case. This is just complacency again, striving to be a top 12 team in MLB and acting like its as good as top 1. BTW you said we were the second best team in baseball this offseason.
  24. drewski6
    And professionalism and playoff experience. I would put the C on Story right now. Hes the lead to follow. Roman Anthony drinks too much. Story arrives at the ballpark same time every day, checks in on Duran to make sure hes got his mental health in check, stands up for the locker room when he's urged to do so.
  25. drewski6
    Honestly, if the games were at Fenway , I would consider the series a coin flip. But in Yankee stadium, my fear is the combo of Ben Rices lefty swing + short porch in right might be enough to get them 2-3 runs/game and it could be enough. Im not towel waving by any means. Im not saying we are for certain toast. I think we are like maybe 40% vs their 60% underdogs. Winnable. Im just not buying a lot of the excuses. Like take our June - Aug stats only, now add Roman and assume he would be hitting at superstr level, carry the 2, normalize for wind currents, park factor and schedule....and then you will see the SEVENTH best offense. And Im like guys, if want to get to the ALCS, we should be aiming for a top 5 offense, year to year. Not if you squint, adjust, take this month, throw out this month, eat a sandwich, run it through the algo, boop bop beep
