  1. I don't think there's any right or wrong answer. You can be cautious but then if you drop the first two even if you get him back it might be too late to come back. Or he is ineffective tonight and they look worse than they looked the last two games. Going to just trust the doctors and team on this one and hope he comes through with an epic performance.
  2. I didn't expect to even get out of the semis once we were down 2-0 to Brooklyn, so this is all house money to me now. As thrilling as an NBA title would be, I feel some satisfaction that we at least made a Final now. Of course that's easy to say now, as I'm sure I will be massively disappointed if we go on to lose a close Game 7 in a competitive series.
  3. I mean yeah that part I agree with. I wasn't expecting anything for Arcia anyway. It was time to move on and landing Adames now was huge.
  4. Except A-Rod signed as a free agent with the Rangers before being traded to the Yankees with cash for Alfonso Soriano. The M’s never compensated anyone to take A-Rod Yeah, I meant the Rangers.
  5. I mean, as a Brewer fan I'd think you'd have to be interested in the latter part in actuality, right? Yeah, count me in as caring how the guys we trade for do.
  6. I dunno. Hiura, Keon Broxton, Vogelbach, are some big power/strikeout types. Stearns does seem to like versatile middle infidels but as far as a hit tool I'm not sure if he has a type. Did we have an option to receive Gallo in the Lucroy deal? I've never heard that confirmed.
  7. Keston is a bust. Just dump him for whatever you can get so we don't have to waste another 500 ABs on waiting for him to turn into a player that he never will.
  8. Yes it might. He also might continue to be an awful hitter and is there a point where the offensive production is just too lacking to play him? He's already barely playing. He has 83 ABs this year; compared to 145 for Hiura and 246 for JBJ, Pina's offensive struggles are having almost zero impact on our bottom line.
  9. You'd most likely have to eat something significant to trade Yelich. Anytime a trade of a huge contract occurs it almost always involves a pretty substantial salary bite. Stanton, Arenado, etc. Heck, the Mariners had to eat some of A-Rods salary just to trade him to the Yankees.
  10. Yelich is still a decent player. The problem is, we didn't pay 7 years and $189 million with the intention of getting "decent."
  11. That's a really dumb bunt. With a force at home that is just too easy. Let him swing away and take your K if he gets it and at least still get a shot with the top of the order and the bases still loaded.
  12. I don't understand swinging 3-0. Especially someone like Keston and the bases empty. Just take a pitch and try to get on base.
  13. To me it's just a little too much potential disruption to team chemistry and the pitching staff to replace the backup catcher in the middle of the season. Narvaez is going to start the vast majority of games anyway, so there is very little to be gained even if things work out.
  14. Trade Giannis for a huge haul?
  15. Rough day for Tucker. Teague with some big shots off the bench today.
  16. I think he probably offers less value than a limited Harden did for Brooklyn.
  17. Top headlines on ESPN: - How Marcus Semien became Jays 2B - Schwarber will miss some time - Santiago's sticky appeal will be heard next week - Roberto Perez back - Bauer placed on leave - Ohtani hits 2 more HR - Judge calls players only meeting for Yankees I'm not normally one to care about ESPNs obvious media bias but amazing that an 11 game winning streak doesn't even register on their radar.
  18. Not the greatest command from Lauer today. I wouldn't ride him for more than 4 innings today if he's walking guys.
  19. My new theory is that we've been the best team in baseball for years but everyone else except us has been cheating and now they can't cheat anymore.
  20. The playoffs are always a different animal for everyone. I don't think we need to concern ourselves too deeply with whether or not Josh Hader is going to be available with 2 outs in the 8th inning and the bases loaded in a 1 run game in Game 7 of the NLCS. How he is used in July has nothing to do with that.
  21. How would you know if he is being a primadonna or not? IF he is not willing to go an extra out in the 8th or pitch multiple innings in big, late season games on occasion, then yes, I would have issues with a player’s wants coming before a team’s needs. What the team needs from Hader is really great innings like the ones he's giving them. As someone else pointed out, you don't know if he would be as effective overall if you're trying to squeeze 4-5 outs of him instead of 3, and you certainly wouldn't get as many outings out of him. Odd to assume that the role is a result of Hader being a primadonna rather than just perhaps the team recognizing that the current role has been working perfectly for both the team and Hader.
  22. Giannis has been ruled out for Game 6. Trae Young still questionable.
