What did you decide?

That’s a pretty light hitting lineup. I try not to add to the negativity, but don’t see them scoring more than 2 tonight. Woodruff needs to be nearly perfect.

Always see the commercial during games. Has anyone tried this, if so what are your opinions of the site?

8 to go correct? P. Taylor and Black probably 2 Roberts and Ramsey at OLB maybe 2 others Still a few tough ones left

Lovett gone so guessing Degura lines up at FB when they need one. 10 to go by my count, and 7 seem obvious. About 3 more borderline guys barring additions.

Stanford Samuels cut. Hopefully can get him through to PS.

Evan Baylis cut With Bolton on PUP that’s 20 more to go?

Tim Williams and Leglue as well, neither a surprise.

[sarcasm]Counsel robbing Suter of a save just cause Claudio hasn't pitched 8 times this week yet.[/sarcasm]

This guy has some chicken legs, but gigantic shoes....

Three inning save for Suter. Counsell wants to get back to the hotel quicker.

How do you not look in out of reflex on the crack of the bat?

In my defense they really should only have 2 right now, but glad the jinx worked. Corbin was nearly perfect on top of it. Hitting has to be hard when the ump calls chin high strikes, lol, the Raptor will take it. He prolly threw the pitch before the ump was looking.

That’s a pretty light hitting lineup. I try not to add to the negativity, but don’t see them scoring more than 2 tonight. Burnes needs to be nearly perfect.

Even if he rakes the rest of the season you don't take 1B off the shopping list. A good 20 games isn't going to make him a long term solution.

Multiple threads, including nightly in the IGT's, there are posts about how horrible of an off season Stearns had. While our FA signings have been pretty rough to start the year, I wondered what was truely out there available this past summer. I compared the WAR of the FA signings from this summer. Granted WAR might not be the best stat only 35 games in, but it includes multiple factors and shows a rough snap shot of how guys have started the season. Baseball Reference listed 404 players as "Free Agent Signings". 307 out of 404 players are at 0 or negative WAR Only 7 of 404 players have a WAR of 1.0 or more: Jose Abreu (1.9) Zack Wheeler (1.8) Anthony Rendon (1.6) Dallas Keuchel (1.3) Hyun Jin Ryu (1.3) Jeremy Jeffress (1.2) AJ Cole (1.2) Stearns has been criticized for Smoak/Morrison, but only 3 of the 1B signings have a positive WAR. 1. Jose Abreu (1.9) 2. Mitch Moreland (0.9) 3. CJ Cron (0.3) Other Options Howie Kendrick (-0.1) Edwin Encarnacion (-0.2) Neil Walker (-0.2) Eric Thames (-0.3) Matt Adams (-0.5) Catchers only Maldonado (0.7) and Cervelli (0.6) are noticeably positive. Now, in fairness, he did sign 2 of the worst 5 so far. He did however avoid Lyles and Bumgarner who many fans were clamoring for. Jordan Lyles (-1.0) Brock Holt (-0.8) Jarrod Dyson (-0.8) Justin Smoak (-0.7) Madison Bumgarner (-0.6) Overall while he did not have a good off-season, he was working with a limited budget and the big fact was this was a pretty weak free agent class. Staring at this whole list of players, there just isn't anything there that I can look at and say, we could afford him, and he would have been a big improvement. The guys that are performing were either expensive or possibly had no interest in playing here. Others of Note: Drew Pomeranz (1.0) Nice season with a 0.00 ERA Junior Guerra (0.3) Hernan Perez (-0.1) Yasmani Grandal (-0.1) Wade Miley (-0.1) Mike Moustakas (-0.2) Stephen Strasburg (-0.2) Travis Shaw (-0.3)

It really sounded awful. Yea, there was no doubt. They zoomed in when the trainer moved it and the whole outside of his hand looked like jello. I thought multiple bones on the outside of the hand had to be broke.

Only one way to go from there... up! Either in results, or physically... to Appleton..,

Oddly the scouting report also said he’s successful at 3/4 delivery and struggles at times when he drops below that, and he’s definitely below that tonight.

I looked up a scouting report and it has his fastball 89-92. So about what he’s throwing.

Kind of a side-armer? Yep, not to the extent of Yardley but funky delivery. Having a hard time pitching inside to righties obviously....

I was taught a glove tap was illegal mid motion. Once the ball comes out of your glove it can’t go back in. Bickford has a big glove tap.

Well, they should have less players available tomorrow.

He looks like Hader, throws a little like Yardley, and just destroyed Jones hand.

Good lord, when they came back from commercial I thought Hader was throwing right handed.
