    No doubt. Erv's had his share of clunker 5+ ERA seasons too. All it takes is replacement level production the first 3 months in 2017 from being stuck with him for his age 35 season. We got 18 months of good Ervin. I'm not sold we're going to witness another 2 good years from him.

    I'm on board with trading both Dozier and Santana this off-season. There's not much of a difference from my point of view having 1 solid pitcher and 4 question marks and 5 question marks. All of those question marks are more than likely going to keep the team from competing in the near future anyway. I'd much rather get out from the last 2 years on Erv's contract and try this rebuild/non-rebuild again.

    At what point are players not allowed to attend the Arizona Fall League? Clearly once they make it to the majors.... But is there an age or years of minor league experience limit that disqualifies other people?

    That doesn't make much sense to me. There are at least 4-5 easy cuts that could be made on the 40 man.

    I've got to imagine this is being done. Not sure how to calculate it, but that's why they're paid the big bucks to figure it out.

    Sano has done just fine this season. But, compared to the early season predictions, where most all of us said 30+ HRs and generating MVP votes? Yeah, we were drinking the kool-aid.

    Luckily this team is avoiding all of the big boys in the conference. No Ohio State, Michigan, or Michigan State on the schedule. They have a real chance of finishing the year with a good record.

    We were all drinking the Twins kool-aid on Sano, Buxton, and for the most part Escobar. It's too bad our vision didn't come to fruition about JR Murphy getting 60+% of the games by June. Good thing we didn't predict pitchers, otherwise we'd all look silly

    Didn't think Confesor Lara was a real name... but it is! Pretty unique name for a pitcher.

    So far we have 2 yes, 44 maybe, and 72 no response. Hope that helps!

    I love this gif so much. Never fails to make me laugh.

    Posting these are my shiny new toy on the site! Perhaps my next shiny new toy is video game thread intros!

    Well, we can check off taking strike three calls and throwing a ball from LF to the very edge of the infield. I'm not positive Platoon has a pulse.

    Can't speak. Something's coming up. http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww308/zeitgeist10/DumbAndDumberGag.gif

    Good post. I agree completely that pitching and defense need to be the main focus in turning around this organization. In fairness to the starting pitching staff, TR did make an effort to shore things up by signing Nolasco, Hughes, and Erv. Nolasco's injuries and ineffectiveness caused a lot of fans to be upset, me included. Erv has worked out so far, minus the PED suspension. Hughes would have been fine if they didn't double down on the investment after 1 season. Going into 2017 it appears the rotation is even worse off than it was in 2013... Not sure how that is possible, but unless trades are made, that's what it will look like. The defensive woes IMO are inexcusable. Something has been lost in philosophy/communication between the minor leagues and MLB team. If this team can't pitch well, they better field the ball well.

    So much wasted buffalo out there on the trail! I remember being pumped shooting a huge buffalo in the game, only to be disappointed with how inefficient the person was carrying it back to the wagon.

    Because of this season, the anger in our brains has taken over... If I've learned anything from Inside Out, don't let anger take over your brain. http://www.cartoonbrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/insideout-newtrailer.jpg

    Were you updating friends and family with things that you'd see on Oregon Trail? Something along the lines of: "Mrs. Snydes has typhoid" "There was a fire in our wagon. Lost 1 wheel axle and 4 pounds of food." "I have been bitten by a snake"

    That's how I remember Carmen San Diego. That and Oregon Trail were my jams!

    Did you make a stop at Off The Bone BBQ, RB?
  22. Vanimal46
    I'm with you brother. My knee is still a mess. We'll see what happens after the MRI yesterday.

    How did you survive 3 different attacks?! I'll tell you what, when someone creates a real life Jurassic Park, you're going to be my guide.

    Where did he find those 3 losses? At this time of year he's predicting 15-1 NFC Champs.

    We have all of our resident Canadians on the thread tonight!
