It's in between innings when I get home. I park the car, walk inside, grab a beer, sit on the couch, turn the TV on and it's 8-6 we are losing. Wtffff how is that even possible Tony Watson decided not to be a major league pitcher lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 Tony Watson has just fallen apart his last two outings. His eyes is now nearly 5. Jeez. Should have shipped him instead of Dyson lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 For all the struggles this year, we've played pretty well against the dodgers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am praying we can steal Bob Melvin. He's perfect imo. Analytic manager who's been using the math for a long time. The as are way better than us though but maybe he's hoping we will be better in the long run since we have so much more money? He doesn't have a contact for next year, which just seems odd to me. Either the As are idiots, or he knows we will want to hire him. Or he knows he can use us to get PAID by them (but they dont pay anyone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 I'm always going to have concern's about Dubon's value being tied into the most fickle hitting attribute (average), but have to be pretty pleased so far with what we have seen. Hitting .300, moved up into the leadoff position. Very promising. I can't believe we got him for Pomeranz. That's still insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Beede is going to be one of those super frustrating guys who can shut a team down or give up nine runs in three innings on any given start, isn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to learn how to work out of a jam. Anytime runners get into scoring position, they always score. He needs to only go from the stretch or something, idk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapler, the dude from Houston, and the dude from the royals. Then I heard some dude from the dodgers was getting a push 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually a little disappointed that he is Can we hire someone with some actual experience that's not Dave Kaplan? Kaplan would be such a downgrade I also heard rumblings that boch may not retire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 Qualifying offers to MadBum and Smith. Not surprising on either of them, to be honest. I debated whether we would give one to Smith, but I think it's the right call. I don't expect MadBum to take his (which is unfortunate, because he could be one of those guys who the attached QO forces to miss the start of the season), but I do think that it's absolutely possible that Smith takes his 1 year, 18M dollar offer.
