But still...

 

Fire the manager

 

Surely that will help their pitching staff get outs. What a terrible org.

Actually, it might help their pitching staff. Here's a list of Reds relievers who have entered games in higher leverage situations than Amir Garrett, who has been mowing everyone down since the start of spring training:

 

Kevin Quackenbush

Austin Brice

Zack Weiss

Jared Hughes

Wandy Peralta

Raisel Iglesias (OK this makes sense)

Teoscar has a lot of value right now trade him and Morales straight up for Votto.

I know you're high on him, but Amir Garrett projects pretty terribly as well lol.

It's like this: I've watched Amir Garrett this year, and I've watched Kevin Quackenbush this year, and using Garrett in a lesser role than Quackenbush is insane. Garrett has looked amazing since the start of spring. He's back to throwing 95, and he's commanding the fastball most of the time, and the slider enough of the time.

It sounds like maybe Freddie Freeman avoided a broken wrist possibly hopefully.

The reds will never do it, but the only way a deal exists between Jays and Reds is if they take Tulo back, and then take a small piece like Hernandez and maybe a pitching prospect SRF

 

That way you are still on the hook for about $80M with Votto, but you have a serious bat for the next few years.

If there's anything that might stop the Red Sox--it might be that they're hitting way over their head. Their BABIP is .319-- with JD Martinez, Mookie Betts, and HanRam leading the way (and before he was injured, Bogaerts). How will the Red Sox manage when these guys finally slump? (A's have the highest BABIP at .325)

 

Jays are at .302, BTW--which shows they're about at the average, with a number of guys (Grichuk, Travis, Martin) hitting well below the mean.. imagine if the entire team starts hitting?

 

Indians have been the most unlucky at .240--they will turn it around sooner or later. I mean, this Cleveland team is supposed to be a top-tier team--it's time to show it.

 

Of course, it's a small sample size.

When Girchuk, Travis and Martin start hitting, there's an excellent chance that Pillar, Teoscar, Solarte and Granderson will stop. That's how baseball works.

You would also have to factor in the guys that are on the high side of the average regressing down, in addition to the guys on the low side of the average regressing upwards.

The Redsox are more likely to maintain a babip of .319 than the Jays to maintain theres at .302

 

I think Cleveland might take a step back this year, EE, Kipnis, Brantley those are ageing bats, and I've never been a fan of Alonso.

 

They are going to miss letting Santana go.

It's not like the Jays make more hard contact than Boston, so you may be right.....oh wait, they do!

The Red Sox have also had an insanely favorable schedule so far. 7x Rays, 2x Marlins, 4x O's. That's 13 of 18 games against punching bags, which usually means you get to hit against crap too. We're probably 9 of 14 plus whatever you consider Texas as, which is pretty favorable too.

 

Now we get 4x Yankees and 3x Red Sox, so time to see if we're a legit top end team.

You're good, buddy. He's in the line-up tonight. I'm quite shocked to be honest.

He's in the line-up batting 3rd, he isn't day to day.

 

Technically he is still day to day, he just didn't take any days yet.

I will. What was that Correa trade again?? lol, idiot!

 

A mistake that I'm able to recognize and admit. A skill that you apparently don't possess.

I'll admit it when it's apparent to me, I've waited a long time to get him back healthy, I haven't given up. Why didn't you take a Ramos and 21 for Miggy, stating you rather get nothing, same difference, idiot.

Because Ramos will never amount to anything and a pick is meh. I'd rather have nothing. At least Cabrera is still an asset, unlike Cobb whom, without looking, you're probably still starting every time he throws.
