  1. I'd like to see them make a deal for Sean Murphy from the A's. Even before Jeffers got hurt, I think this would be a good move. Murphy is an excellent defensive catcher, and has a decent bat. He's not going to hit for a high avg, but he can give you 15-20 homers and 60-70 ribbys. Oak might be dumping more guys, so this would probably be doable.
  2. WTF...are we gonna use 5 or 6 pitchers tonight? What are we gonna do tomorrow when we need to go to the pen? Or maybe Gordo is heading to the hill again?
  3. Ok...if we have to get Pagan, it's better to get him in the 4th I guess, than in the 8th or 9th.
  4. Like the way everyone feels when they see Pagan coming in from the pen.
  5. The Chisox are probably the worst defensive team in the majors. Wow...they're bad.
  6. If Smeltzer isn't painting the black AND getting some favorable calls, he's just not capable of being effective. 88-89 mph top velo just ain't gonna cut it. He's a middle reliever at best, not a starter.
  7. I don't like the way this game is looking already. Smeltzer isn't very sharp.
  8. We are so completely inept on getting a guy home in those situations. Time after time. Lead off triple and Buck dies there. We can't even hit a fly ball somewhere for a sac. It's pathetic.
  9. Cueto's windup at times has just a little bit of Luis Tiant in it.
  10. I'd like to see Kep out of the 4 spot, and Polanco...or even Miranda up there. Kep needs to get his *** dropped in the order.
  11. They should've just sent CC and hoped for a bad throw to the plate, because we can't buy a clutch hit....ever.
  12. Just looked at the radar. There's a couple more cells heading toward Mpls. Could be another delay in about 30-40 minutes.
  13. Ok...let's get the runs back right away off of George Costanza.
  14. Looks like the Duffer gets the 9th. What's wrong with this picture?
  15. This game has a familiar vibe. We're up 3-0. Which inning is TX gonna score 6 runs?
  16. I think we're getting to see the real Smeltzer the last few starts. He's certainly not going to blow anyone away, and his stuff is average. He's very hittable. However, if Smeltzer has absolutely everything going for him on a particular day...hitting all the spots and getting guys to chase, he can be effective. I honestly don't think he's a viable, long term answer as a starter. I think his value will end up being as a reliever. Lefties hang around forever, and I bet he will too, but not as a starting pitcher.
  17. Helluva grab by Buck. Just amazing. He probably deserves a day off tomorrow. Just don't sit CC too.
  18. Absolutely love "Come As You Are" by Peter Wolf. Great song! Crank it up!
  19. Fantastic research! As to Jeffers...he's an ok back up C, nothing more. What little, and very occasional, pop at the plate he has, isn't worth playing him as much as Rocco does You just can't keep running him out there as the starting C. To have both Jeffers and Sanchez in the line up together, with one as the DH...is lunacy.
  20. He definitely hasn't pitched as well since his return from Covid. Whether that has something to do with getting sick, it's certainly possible. We may never know. He's also a rookie and he probably has to make some adjustments, as the league sees more of him and gets the reports on him. He's not pitching all that badly, but just not as well as earlier in the season. We'll have to see how the second half plays out.
