G-Snarls

A few thoughts: I'm holding on to Stroman. At worst he's a reasonable #4/5 and he's cheap, young, has good upside and might help sell tickets. There's some excitement/entertainment factor with him. And if he reaches his potential he's a dependable #2 caliber starter. I'm willing to part with Sanchez or Nolin but prob not both Rasmus is easy ro trade away now thanks to Gose but not worth much as he would be a rental. realistically he's kept, qualified and signs elsewhere giving us a draft pick. I'm willing to trade Rogers, Delabar, Santos, Happ, Redmond easily but none of them currently has much trade value, even in a group of 2-3, unless a team somehow really just wants to get cheaper and deal us an expensive starter like Lee or Hamels. I'm willing to trade Francisco but he's bounced around so much I doubt any GM values this little flash of brilliance enough form him to have much value. At the same time, a smart FO would love to have Adam Lind. Kills RHP and contract is reasonable. But I can only trade him now if I think Francisco can keep this up and I don't trust that he can. OK I have no proposal here just random thoughts. I'm glad I'm not the GM. LOL

The vision was this would be for news, the scoreboard one for discussing AL East teams games. What's happened is people post the same stuff in both. Not useful.

Can't control the performance of the players either. But I want them to make the playoffs. And I want attendance to rise.

Someone blew smoke in to the hive?

It's filthy

Dat slider is kick-ass

Have heard (on Jeff Blair show I think) that even weekday games are getting 800,000 viewers per game

I don't think I've ever seen so many laughers for games in one day. At least 5 ugly one sided slaughters today.

Oops. Fixed June to May.

I'm enjoying it, but less than I enjoy a Boston or NYY collapse

When's the last time Tampa was 10 games under .500?

We all want this

LOL after I wrote that he hit a 2 run HR to make it 7-0

Jackie Bradley Jr ain't no Jacoby Ellsbury

To people living in Missisauga - the radio folks have been talking a lot about what a pain it is getting in to the city due to construction on the Gardiner Expressway. Is it bad enough going in in the evening that it would stop people from buying tickets to games??

31,000 today Averaging 23,500 If they stay hot, it WILL go up

Did you guys hear Gibby in the post game? He was asked about how May felt. He asked how many games they'd won in May. Someone told him 21. He says "well, in 2008... we won 20 games in May and had the best record in baseball. and then they fired me 3 weeks later". The room busted up laughing.

Awesome Hendriks can piggyback Happ if he fails Seems like the best all around choice to me. IF Stroman performs at an acceptable level. Who will he start vs next, St. Louis?

Yeah he is Not sold on Middlebrooks at all but Bogaerts looks legit

We would rapidly tire of Zaun, Tabby, et all telling us what a "big game" player, what a "gamer" and how much of a "playoff winner" Shields is. This would occur daily from July to end of September.

Yes, he really is

More accurate by a slight margin, yes Though in the stated situation (runners on 1st and 3rd), a single is MUCH better than a walk or HBP and an XBH better still. So, I want a hit. Especially if the are 2 out.

No thanks Pls trade him to NL for prospects that bust
