This may actually be the real Ian Happ now. It looks like we sacrificed KB/Rizzo/Javy to get this version of Happ, though. We can never have everybody get hot at the same time.

Also, I broke Happ by mentioning him. He's struck out 10 times in his 13 PAs since I posted that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazer026 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 So I missed the last two games. Heyward and some guy named Vargas take Hader deep. Then today Mills throws a no no. Wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubes20 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 That was awesome. I only started watching around the 4th inning or so, but I'm glad I did indeed tune in. Happy for Mills. He's still probably only a #5 starter going forward, but nobody can take today away from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazer026 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Think Lester will be back next year? I wouldn't hate it depending on what happens in Free Agency. Darvish, Hendricks, Mills are the only ones under contract I think. Lester, Quintana and Chatwood are free agents I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darvish, Hendricks, Mills are the only ones under contract I think. Lester, Quintana and Chatwood are free agents I believe. I honestly hope he isn't. Lester has been one of the best FA signings in team history, but he is barely capable of being a #5 starter anymore. Even with the team having to pay him a $10 million buyout, I hope the FO passes. At least one of the open spots will go to the best of Alzolay/Marquez/Tyson Miller/Corey Abbott, and depending on how poor Tom Ricketts wants to pretend to be this offseason, both spots may go to internal guys. A trade acquisition is very possible as well. I really would like to see Marcus Stroman brought in as the new #3, but like I said, Tom Ricketts.

I’m a super fan of his so I’d like him back. Being hurt pretty much all this season probably isn’t helping his cause though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm sure he could get a multi-year deal somewhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubes20 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 This offense is hopelessly broken right now. It's painful to see a hitter as good as KB look completely inept up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How crazy is it that KB being done for the year probably improves the team right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
