Am I the only one who thinks adambr2's fascination with Realmuto exceeds clancyphile's suter love? Close?

 

At least Realmuto is good...?

He might be the greatest player EVER...

One is a little more justifiable than the other.

[MrTPlush]

I hear the Marlins are considering Robles for Realmuto straight up. If that's the case then Hiura and Ortiz have to be considered. At least give them a call. They know our system. You can't run this version of Pina out there.

 

Robles is way better than Hiura...and that’s no insult to Hiura. Robles is just that great.

 

For whatever it's worth, Baseball Prospectus has Hiura as the 5th and Robles as the 6th best prospect in baseball. They are higher on Hiura than most other rankings, though.

 

Hiura plays the more premium position, but Robles is elite on both sides of the ball. Hiura also is still iffy at 2B and has the injury history.

 

I can’t imagine a team not viewing Robles as notably better. Like a pretty good gap.

The team needs Realmuto and Stearns needs to get it done. He's not a rental like Machado. Yes an ace would be most welcome but a catcher like him would fix two problems and is the most immediate need.

Well then we don't have a chance if Realmuto is on the market as the Nats are willing to part with Robles to acquire J.T...

Guerra is where he belongs at the back end of the rotation

 

Back end of the rotation? Who do you have better than him this year besides Chacin?

[Roderick]

I'd go Hiura+Ortiz+Woodruff+Ray. That's an awfully good offer, I think.

 

Not to make this the trading forum page, I would say the Marlins can take which two they want from that list and also have Nottingham (I assume they need a catcher if trading one off).

[MoreTrife]

This game feels great!!!!!!!

[folly412]

Hey hey hey...man Matt Albers, you're looking rusty.

[xisxisxis]

glad we got Albers back...

[phnxcrew]

I'm glad their fans are so excited to barely win 1/4 games against what was a horribly struggling Brewers team. Hopefully the Giants don't luck their way into another championship.

[PinaMadness]

Attention Perez and Kratz. Please report to the visitors bullpen.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

That stinks. I know it sounds like Monday morning quarterbacking, but I really thought Albers should have pitched last night to get back into it when the Crew had a solid lead.

[pacopete4]

Why didn’t Aguilar dive is my question but yeah, Albers rusty today.

[Roderick]

Burnes is going to have to pitch multiple innings today. No Lopez no Houser. On the second relief pitcher and still in the fifth inning.

Which speaks to the larger issue.

I mean, I cheer when I'm at a Brewers game and they're doing something exciting. I don't really let the bad player previous games really keep me from being excited about great things that happened on that particular day.

[pacopete4]

We really have to get past some of this. The rotation is not elite, yes. But it is actually pretty good when you’re comparing around the league. They are a big reason we are in this thing. Can we upgrade? Sure. But we really need to move past some of this rhetoric.

[MrTPlush]

Yup, weakest arm should definitely snag the catch to throw it in.

[folly412]

Perez can probably run and toss a warm up or two between pitches. I hate when parks have the bullpens in play.

[pacopete4]

Cain ain’t much better.

Are you new here?

 

As I've been told multiple times on IGTs, knee-jerk is kinda the norm.

Cain ain’t much better.

 

Is he better though?

I'm the same, the Giants are probably my third most hated team (Cards, Cubs). They've booed Braun the most after Bonds, and it would be nice if a title fell into our lap like the three they have.

Coming into today we didn't have a single starter with an era over 4. Maybe the advanced metrics don't support that they're great starters but the performance has been pretty solid all the way around. It might also be said that we shouldn't continue to expect these performances but when I see things like Guerra is trash and so and so is a bum, I definitely think those comments are borne more out of frustration because these guys have really performed pretty well all season.
