Sucks, as now I'll have to look at getting cable again. I miss the days where YoutubeTV and Hulu carried Bally/FSMW... Its all coming back around to basic cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tttmikeb Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Always great to get a sweep, but especially against a good SD team. Also, Paul Goldschmidt is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Is Nolan back? 👀👀👀 Also what a start by Dak. Could’ve been a rough first inning if Bader doesn’t make that catch in the first. Then Dak goes out and shuts them down for the next 6 innings. We finally won a series against a good team. Now go sweep the Cubbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLunatic88 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Everyone has been excited about Gorman (although no one said a peep when he went 0-11 with 7 Ks) and plenty have been pumping up Yepez. But man, Brendan Donovan has been the surprise hero of the rookies to this point. dude never got a second thought when he got to the big leagues, and he is only hitting .280+ in almost 30 games and 100 PA, all while playing a ton of positions in the field. Dont know if he can keep it up, but if he’s the “Ninth” hitter of this lineup, that would be great production for us (and further puts the DeJong stuff in a worst light) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His versatility and bat are really helping the club. The future is bright for this team. We’ve got so many quality young guys we could probably land a star with a trade and still have a bunch leftover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got so many quality young guys we could probably land a star with a trade and still have a bunch leftover. The in season "big move" really isnt their style, but I could see a couple of reinforcement moves if need be. I think the first big hurdle is will we get anything out of Flaherty? If not, that would have to prompt a starter at this point right? If he does come back, Libertore should be good enough as the 6th starter for this year And then the next would be the DH spot. Does Albert do enough against Righties? Does Dickerson turn it on? What happens when O'Neill is healthy? With Donnovan/Yepez/Gorman all up and hitting, we may not feel like we have to add a bat. I think Mo & Co is more likely to hold off (unless major injury) till the offseason, and then see what Nolan does with his Opt Out, before they start moving munch in the way of prospects at this point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLunatic88 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 So we Swept the Pirates, split a short one with the Jays, Win the Brewers series and then Sweep the Padres. Not a bad way to close out May. 2 back of the Brewers, with 2 games in hand. 5 in Chicago this weekend, Id be lying if I said I wouldnt be disappointed with anything less than taking 4.

ttitansfan4life Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 They definitely have to add a starting pitcher even if they get anything from Flaherty this season. Hicks should be headed back to the bullpen. That leaves Waino, Mikolas, Hudson, and I guess Metz, Flaherty, and Libby. There’s a guy in Oakland we should be all over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine that he comes cheap. Assuming the rotation starts to actually get healthy, you'll have Flaherty, Mikolas, Wainwright, and Matz in the rotation. SP5 becomes Liberatore or Hudson. I don't think they're going to be big game hunting for a SP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are healthy, and someone is pithing close to Ace status (was Mikolas, could be Waino or ever a healthy Flaherty) we arent going to be pushing for another starter. If Jack has a set back, or someone else implodes/gets hurt, then sure. But until then, doesnt seem likely. Probably more likely to grab another Long Releiver/Spot starter to hep out the bullpen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLunatic88 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 The impending question is will we cut bait with Dickerson? O'Neill and Carlson are likely to be back, and then what do you do? Do we send Gorman back down? (he might be hitting the IL regardless) but thats only one spot, so who else? Nootbar or Yepez? Sosa or Donnovan? After starting half the games, hitting under .200 with 0 HRs, feels like it might be nut cutting time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know what is worse than blowing a lead or losing a game? Sitting in the stands while Gallegos pitches. I swear that he took half an hour for 2/3s of an inning on Monday. He brings the game to a screeching halt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is Dickerson and Nootbar right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, Im doubting he has any Option Years left. We can surely send Nootbaar down, but what if Gorman isnt that injured? Or whenever he would return to IL? My whole point was, he clearly doesnt have it right now, do we want to try and stash him on the end of the bench in the hopes that he would figure it out? And send down a productive player in the process? And on top of that, would anyone actually claim him on waivers? Not sure anyone is paying the remainder of $5m for what he is providing.
