  1. Yoshida was on the bench because of JJ, who went 3-5 with 2 runs scored.
  2. He had 3 HRs in his previous 5 games. But it is likely, at this point, that he is not an option against lefty starters.
  3. -0- HRs and 3 walks in 27 ABs. JJ has 4 HRs in 90 ABs with a 32/12 K/W. He's not a donut against lefties, but I'd start JJ against lefties and not think twice. Yoshida career OPS v lefties is .662 and JJ's OPS v lefties is .783.
  4. I get the best talent thing, but I think they need to play their way back into the lineup. Crochet is a star, so he gets a slot. But right now, Duran (that could change daily) and Yoshida should be the starters. Story has a legit shot at 2nd.
  5. I'm shocked that pitch to Contreras was a strike. I'd have bet real money it was a ball.
  6. I'm not sure they used him up. If we run into another marathon, and he throws 35 pitches tomorrow, then demote him in favor Rivera/Gamboa. But with our BP having throw -0- pitches last night, no current decision is required.
  7. FWIW, I have never believed that he was #12 or anywhere close to that. There aren't 11 people in the known universe that would turn down a GM job in a big market, with a big payroll, with a great farm. I doubt that there are 5 people that would turn it down. Maybe 1-2 GM prospects that got offers from other teams. But 11 other guys turning down one of the best jobs in baseball. That's a fantasy that the haters embrace.
  8. I think I might've mentioned this last season or the off-season. I think we know 12 of our 15 key players for 2028 team. And maybe 9 of our 2030. That's a lot of flexibility and a great base to build on.
  9. If Anthony returns, do we need White? Duran should suffice as the #4, with Yoshida as the #5.
  10. All the numbers have been great, but 27-3 just sounds incredible.
  11. Waiting until you see how the trade works out before giving a thumbs-up is not discussion-worthy. If we extend him and get 5 years of AS level work, 9B people will give it a thumbs-up. IRT the pitchfork, you'll be there as a mob of 1.
  12. That's all I'm here for. A sea of green for our BP now. And I'd have no objection of revolving trips to the minors for a couple of our guys. And another note-we also got 33 pitches the night before from Miller. None of these guys were here a few days ago.
  13. How many old people say that about the younger generation? All of them maybe? I remember my folks giving me the lecture on my first mastodon hunt.
  14. My guess is that pitchers like their routines. And it makes no difference whether or not that routine makes sense or not. I don't know if it means anything, since I don't know if the numbers are polluted by openers, injuries, etc., but these are the 4-, 5-, and 6+ days of rest: 4 Days,GS 3.98 5 Days,GS 4.40 6+ Days,GS 4.19 Maybe it has something to do with scheduling a BP exactly in the middle of starts.
  15. Obviously all is well today, but I question why some claims get taking at face value and not challenged. But today's question of the day starts off later this afternoon.
  16. Ouch! I forgot about the roster expansion. Feel free to ignore my previous post. Question-If the rosters expand to 28, does that mean the pitching roster expands to 14? That could be important since we need more rest in the rotation and BP.
  17. That's an epic collapse by their offense. Maybe Aro is hitting his numbers, but everyone else is down, way down, or injured.
  18. That's a heart/head conundrum. My head wants one day off per week. But I don't like off-days, particularly when we are hot.
  19. Take it easy on me. Last night's game took a lot out of me. I'm like working in Central Time now.
  20. I'd pull him. In the unlikely event Burgos gives up 6 runs, you bring someone else in. But you have to play the odds.
  21. Just like that and it is up to 5, and could easily have been 10.
