    Buxton needs to re-tool his swing. I'm sure someone had the bright idea that it would be beneficial to him to limit movement in the batters box, but his swing is just a right-handed Denard Span. There is no stride toward the pitcher and no leg kick. He has the talent and I believe that he'll realize most of it, but he's not going to become a well rounded player being a Denard Span slap-hitting clone. I'm sure some in the organization see that as exactly what this club needs, and that's partly true, but they have to incorporate a more powerful swing or regardless of whether he starts making better contact, he'll never have a chance to live up to the expectations we had previously hoped for. Plus, plenty of guys improve their timing by incorporating a leg kick, it isn't all about making harder contact.

    No he and Ulger got canned for being the sole causes of the 90 loss seasons.
  3. nicksaviking
    That sounds Sweedish, you sure it's not ABBA?
  4. nicksaviking
    The season's still young.

    I don't know any Rihanna songs. And no that isn't an invitation to introduce me to them.

    So who's getting DFA'd to add Juan Centeno or Carlos Paulino to the 40-man for their call up tomorrow? I know Dean has been a near unanimous target, but I think it's Vargas.

    I think I like Murph more. I think. Start him the rest of the series.
  8. nicksaviking
    Lane must be thinking that this is the last tolerable day outside in Houston until October so he might as well drag this game out. For the fans sake.
  9. nicksaviking
    Murph, don't talk to the ump! Berrios screwed.
  10. nicksaviking
    Murph, don't swing.
  11. nicksaviking
    Eddie, don't swing.
  12. nicksaviking
    Oh for shame, I guess it's different when Keuchel doesn't get his pitch.
  13. nicksaviking
    I think another mistake of youth is thinking he'll get the same strike zone the reigning Young winner gets.

    OMG Jack Morris just coherently summed up why it's near impossible to call up young pitchers in the most ideal scenario. Well done sir.

    There is only one consistently good catcher in the game today. Unless they target Buster Posey, there probably shouldn't be a significant trade to make. I want the Twins to fix this, but it's not like the team is on lack-of-catcher-island alone, this is just a really, really bleak time in baseball history for the catcher position.

    The Phillies are surprisingly in contention and they just lost their token veteran lefty in the rotation. It looks like they have a couple of young catchers in AAA and AA which look close, but not so exciting that they'd take a ransom. They already have their catcher of the future, and their veteran leader at the MLB level. A trade thus far hasn't worked the first time, but drafting hasn't been working either and good catchers rarely ever become free agents. If this team is going to get another useful backstop, I think continuing to try the trade route is still the best bet.

    If this is a classic move that the front office unethically pulls, we probably would have heard at least one starter call them out on it, not to mention the MLBPA. I don't think a healthy pitcher WANTS to sit.
  18. nicksaviking
    Pleeeeeeease Jose and Tyler, pitch well enough that the team would look foolish going back to the Santana/Hughes/Nolasco/Milone/Gibson rotation. Also did Milone just suck out a flush on the river or what. That guy has nine lives.
  19. nicksaviking
    Yup, I think it's possible, and if so I suspect it's why Ryan didn't give Molitor Murphy. Molitor would have been tempted to play him every day. Hypothetically possible of course. If you're into hypotheticals.
  20. nicksaviking
    Arcia, best enthusiasm on the team.
  21. nicksaviking
    I'd love to see the circus of roster moves if this game goes 16 innings. There'd be a one man bench tomorrow I'd bet.
  22. nicksaviking
    Are they both losing? I can promise I wouldn't like it if that was not the case.
  23. nicksaviking
    This bullpen management is bizarre. Meyer must really not be available which means Molitor has gone crazy pulling Milone after 4 2/3 after yesterday's marathon.
  24. nicksaviking
    Yeah and according to Dick, his brother had a red Corvair once. If Bert hadn't long been neutered, he would have asked Dick if his brother's girlfriend also had a pocket full of used condoms.
  25. nicksaviking
    Dick clearly doesn't know what that song is about. Surprise.
