Obviously a lot of this has been forced upon the front office by the underperformance of the offense as a whole, but part of the boring offseason with no long term obligations was likely due to the desire to present opportunities to the upper levels prospects if they showed they were worthy of these opportunities. All of Barger, Horwitz and Orelvis have earned their shots at MLB playing time by excelling in Buffalo just as Scheider earned his promotion with an excellent 2023 season in the minors.

But when those downgrades started to be made, many of those same posters were fighting against those who saw the obvious flaws. It seems like a shock to some of you but many of us saw stupid move aft

Hey all, I have zero hope until they cut the head off the snake. Shapiro has to go, NOW. New Prez, new GM, new development system.   We are currently the laughing stock of baseball, no one takes our

Wonder if we will see a lineup with all of Horowitz, Barger, Martinez, and DS in it in the next week. Probably not enough vetrin presents to make that work, but give us something to watch, dammit.

why? he has been f***ing brutal

 

praying for a Springer injury too

 

It's totally Blue Jays that Springer finally managed to find a way to stay healthy at the same time that he lost the ability to make a difference at the plate.

Seriously, he was a beast in 2021 but couldn't stay healthy.

 

Now he's replacement level at best, but could play 162 if asked to.

Move him back to CF for a few games.

At this point they should just call up Lukes, Wil Robertson, Juenger, and their girlfriends and just go full Buffalo.

 

The summer of the Bisons.

Wow, read his name a bunch of times over the years and always read it as Horowitz. Just put his name on Fangraphs and it doesn't even look the same. Learned something new.

Been testing out some of my awful nicknames that you guys always really like.

 

Do we like Whore-itz?

 

As long as he doesn't turn into Horror-Witz.

Lukes is done -- hand surgery.

 

Also just thinking: in summer the lefty bullpen pecking order was Mayza, Cabrera, then Little. I think that order has shifted Little up the order.

Guerrero hasn’t been a problem. He’s the 6th best 1B by wRC+ and WAR in baseball this year. The lack of power is annoying but he’s hitting 25% better than league average in a year where offence is down.

 

Bichette is a problem and he has been for 400+PA and Springer has been an issue as well. We had JT, KK, Kirk though he has looked better, our bullpen in Swanson, Romano, Mayza, Cabrera until recently has also been a big problem.

 

f*** that. Fix your f***in ground ball problem already you Neanderthal.

I call him jobber because of Barry Horowitz. But I don't think that'll pick up traction. It's not even really a compliment lol

Vlad is a tweak away from hitting 40+ HR... but he's too dum to figure it out

 

Right but that “tweak” is probably getting a lobotomy or something.

Would that allow Vlad to impart more backspin on his batted balls? I think the primary issue is likely swing path related with hitting on the top of the baseball a tad too much.

I believe the preferred terminology in the wrestling business is enhancement talent.

His at bats and approach are terrible though. Constantly watching 0-0 or 2-0 meatballs, then swings at garbage off the plate.

 

Its part mental, part swing. And all kinds of f***ed up
