    I don't think I've ever seen a team that hated scoring as much as they liked getting on base. Typically the two go hand in hand.

    Come on, Cain. Use your head.

    First two men get on, Yelich/Moose/Hiura coming up, can't come up empty like that.

    And 134 innings there in San Antonio this year. It's not like they are counting on him to take them to the playoffs, I think they are basically rewarding him for having a good season in AAA. It's not like taking time from Arcia or Perez is going to hurt the team. This. Who cares. Any option we have at SS is a bad one. It's not like he's going to take playing time from Hiura.

    Unless you look at statistical facts, which show he’s not. Offensively? Sure. 100% fair. But overall? Nope. Simply dismissing the facts-based point others are making doesn’t make your view factually accurate in this case. Again, why not just sub Santana in the 7th if winning? Bring in the glove then. With our OF always needing another bat in there with someone hurt, it makes sense to put a .800 OPS guy out there, especially against any lefty. Moose or Shaw at 2B was weird and questionable at first, then not. Playing Santana in the OF rotation and rotating him out of the winning game in 6th or 7th would have had the same effect. Not a Gamel or DS hater. Just makes no sense to compare stats career wise or even this year and say Gamel is slam dunk better. Just say Gamel is a better 4th outfielder, backup, or contact pinch hitter. I'd agree with you. Our unique situation calls for Santana playing much more, roughly 60 to 75% of the time with our fragile outfield and having to carry a load on offense. Why is our outfield fragile? Braun has stayed healthier than he has in years. Yelich and Cain have been nicked at times but nothing significant at all as far as missed time. Santana would start very rarely. Definitely not 60-75% of the time. A Braun/Yelich/Santana outfield would be a nightmare defensively, and that matters in innings 1-7 too.

    Coshun keeps going on about, when was the last time, if the game finishes this way, that everyone else was no hit except for one guy who reached every time? I could swear that when Verlander no hit us, Bill Hall reached base every AB that game, and he was the only one to reach base.

    You have to be a real dick to throw out a player with "Three Kids" on the back of his jersey for arguing a call that you botched.

    You can tell which players have actual nicknames and which ones hastily made one up quick for nickname weekend.

    I know Lyles is coming up, but that's a stupid send by Sedar with 1 out. Not even close. If it's 2 out and Lyles coming up, sure, take a shot. Not 1.
  20. adambr2
    He's always had a live arm. It's always been about finding and maintaining consistency with him. He's been a pleasant surprise since coming over. He should get a chance to compete for a rotation spot - but I could see him as a right-handed version of 2018 Hader if the rotation shakes out a little differently... I know edgy viewpoints is kind of your thing, but comparing Lyles to Hader?
  21. adambr2
    I've been really impressed that he's stayed healthy -- but I wouldn't push it. We have a good thing with him this year at the plate and maybe there's a good reason for that. 5 starts a week or so is ideal.
  22. adambr2
    Holy smokes, Braun's belt. You could blind somebody with the reflection off that thing.
  23. adambr2
    Wait, which one of the 3?
  24. adambr2
    Santana is ok. He's not great. He's got a .781 OPS. He strikes out more than any player in baseball and is unplayable in the field. He's a bad fit for an NL team and he's not the missing link to this offense. For all the players that have been traded in the Stearns era we spend a weird amount of time talking about Domingo Santana. He's not really missed. He does some things well. Gamel does some things well. Zavalos is an ok prospect. Who cares.

    Sit Cain.. I hope there are no flyballs. Holy smokes is that going to be a bad defensive outfield.
