Bucketheadsdad Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 24 minutes ago, LETSGOBROWNIES said: Btw @Bucketheadsdad, I feel like you need an extra congrats for buckethead. Kid seems squared away and it’s been great to see his development over the years. Hell im proud of what he’s done, I can’t imagine how you feel. Thanks! He heads to his first duty station in a few weeks. He's very excited. Daughter just graduated as well, and tried out (and made) the Flag Corps for the marching band where she's going to school. It has been a great last few weeks. Not sure how much I'm going to like the empty nest thing, though. Both of them at least 8 hours drive away.

Plan some road trips and thoroughly embarrass them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our dude is still keeping a foot in that cleanup spot with an OBP, BA, and SLG all at or near the bottom of the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruceb Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Is it my imagination or do Francola teams have a tendency to get ahead in series -- including in the playoffs --, falter and fail to seal the deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, looks like a .500 roster on paper at best. Can’t expect a manager to overcome talent deficiencies all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Average team is playing average ball right now. Above average arms pre-injury. The way the pitching has been decimated, if we're getting average pitching, we're doing pretty good. Some horrible bats and a couple guys (Santana and Lindor) that are mashing. All in all, if we get average offensive production with what we have out there, we're doing alright there also. Expecting this roster to be in 1st right now, considering injuries, is highly unrealistic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not perfect but what do you expect him to do with this roster? No offense and injuries to our pitching staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like the Dolans intentionally dumped $20 million from a legitimately good roster through trades and allowed an All Star CF to leave via free agency. 9 hours ago, NateDawg said: Above average arms pre-injury.

I've actually been very pleasantly surprised by them scrapping their way to wins the last week or so. 9 hours ago, NateDawg said: Some horrible bats and a couple guys (Santana and Lindor) that are mashing. Also time to give Perez his due. He's been a solid Gomes replacement with the bat and is better defensively. Time to also continue to bash Jose. He picked up right where he left off in September of 2018 into the postseason. 9 hours ago, NateDawg said: All in all, if we get average offensive production with what we have out there, we're doing alright there also. When you replace solid offensive guys with AA and AAA mid tier prospects, this is the result that you get unfortunately. 9 hours ago, NateDawg said: Expecting this roster to be in 1st right now, considering injuries, is highly unrealistic. 100% this.

buno67 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I just wish Jose never participated in that damn Homerun Derby! His swing has been right since. Not the first time the derby has done that to a hitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
