Vladdy has arrived

Belt looked horrible in that AB

Where did he say he wasn't?

That's what i was thinking. Given the same break though, i don't think he closes in on that.

Holy f***, Moronta is Sandoval's long lost twin.

Not sure Grichuk makes that catch.

We needed something from Grichuk or Galvis there.

Good thing Bede turned us down.

Vladdy's swing is insane.

Prioritizing framing over blocking doesn't make sense to me. It should be instinctive and automatic that a catcher drops down to block a pitch in the dirt and taught from a young age.

f*** you ump.

I agree he has. He has to get to a point where a called breaking ball in the dirt has to be reacted by dropping to his knees and squaring up, not trying to short hop it on the back hand.

Lol.. Well, you're taught to keyhole 2-0 pitches, especially with the bases juiced and two out.

Man, Jansen is still a work in progress.

f***ing Grichuk ruined his whole AB swinging at that high 2-0 fastball.

Vladdy fire..

Wow, the RFer was playing Sogard shallow.

WTF happened to Jansen's pitch recognition?

I was thinking something worse.

This will be a discretion call if the run scores or not

Are these umpires f***ed or what?

VLADDY with his first HR.. CRUSHED

Goins would probably be middle of the pack offensively on this team. Lol

Lol.. Nobody was interested in extending Bautista, stop. Th reality is there were many other options on the free agent market to be had rather than Morales for similar money.

How did you decipher my quote into adding payroll to this year? That's not my issue with him. The handling of JD, got nothing for him knowing we were entering a rebuilding process. The handling of the EE free agency scenario, then totally misreading the market and knee jerked a horrible albatross of a signing in Morales that we are still paying for this year, Helping profits? JA Happ for Drury and McKinney is looking like a horrible trade Making it publicly known his intentions in trading Stroman,Sanchez and Smoak this early in the season. Rostering the likes of Brito and Hansen for over a month. The unloading of Martin and Tulo could have been with a little less financial burden imo. This is just off the top of my head. There have been more negatives than positives. As far as the draft is concerned, it's a collective effort between the scouting team and Shapiro. Question.. Do you think Atkins is capable of making a trade similar to the one for Donaldson? Or unloading the contract of Wells? I'm not comparing him to AA, just saying i don't think he has the clout to pull off something of that magnitude.
