    Nah, it's just that toxicity is cured really fast when a guy actually plays well amd the team is winning

    Psychologically speaking, you heard what Bassitt said initially and made a lot of inferences based on your own criticisms of the team. Basically it was your brain hearing what it wanted to hear because it would have agreed with you. Then, when the source of those comments clarified those comments, and said exactly what he meant and it no longer fit your inferences, you then decided he "walked it back" because....he must have? Can't have it both ways

    Based on your comments...I'm not sure where you're at. You seem to believe that the status quo isnt good enough (valid) ... but that Bassitt is staying based on his interview. That's a problem if the status quo isn't good enough. Bassitt doesn't have a choice in whether he stays or not. But, what's your preference, hypothetically, A) rotation as is right now sign a top-ish free agent SP pushing bassit and berrios down a notch and Francis or Yareil to a pen role C) trade Bassitt, sign a top-ish free agent SP, and roll with FA, Gausman, Berrios, Yariel, Francis. All of the above options include signing at least one journeyman SP on a minor league deal to act as additional depth

    There's tons of ways they could go for sure, but If they're serious about contending I don't think they want the #3 guy to be an innings eater. Plus,they'd save his 21 million and be able to allocate that to the new pickup who would surely cost more, but also be much better. Like, dumping his 21 and signing Eovaldi... I'd be more cool with that than keeping Bassitt
  5. John_Havok
    I think to do that, they'd look to move Bassitt. I don't think they're looking at Francis as the long man in the pen when he's showing this well. Neither he nor Yariel can be optioned next season so both will be on the club. My money is on the rotation being either...a) exactly as it looks now, or trading Bassitt to sign one of the higher FAs, and the 4/5 is still Yariel and Francis. Bloss is the 6, sign some depth guy on minor league deal for the 7, Macko the 8....Manoah and Ricky T won't even be ready for the start of the season so, they won't factor in right away.

    That's no joke bro. They get idiots from all over the globe to those things
  7. John_Havok
    Why is the reason not obvious?
  8. John_Havok
    I dig the Diamondbacks one, but just because of the name. The style is pretty basic
  9. John_Havok
    Clase would be a good guy to get a look at
  10. John_Havok
    56 pitches, 35 strikes.

    I like the Smarties taste better, but I like that the M&M colouring doesn't immediately rub off on your fingers like Smarties does.
  12. John_Havok
    I thought the same thing once he got to 2nd, but it's not like he actually made a mistake on the play. Line drive to 3rd when its 1st and 2nd and none out, you're always going to freeze and take a step or two back to 2nd to ensure there's no DP. Just sucks the 3B muffed it and Kirk is slower than a sloth going uphill.
  13. John_Havok
    And Smarties in America are we call Rockets up here. Crazy.
  14. John_Havok
    Yeah, especially when he popped 16 bases in that 1 game.
  15. John_Havok
    Yeah, it really played well off the high fastball since his curve doesn't really have a massive hump out of his hand, there is a little one, but when the high heat is effective and the splitter is being thrown for strikes, that's 3 pitches that tunnel pretty well off each other. Hitters have to wait that extra split second to rule out the curve and split, late on the non-elite heat.
  16. John_Havok
    As far as quantity ... no. But, is there really a true impact player there? ... I mean, sure you hope so, but honestly even if they get 1 league average regular or back-end starter for the next 6 seasons, it's a clear win.
  17. John_Havok
    Yelich done for the season with back surgery. Sucks to be Milwaukee...
  18. John_Havok
    Stop me if you've heard this one before... Buxton to the IL. Hip injury, no damage seen but going to the 10-Day IL
  19. John_Havok
    The grass is always greener syndrome.
  20. John_Havok
    He'll get plenty of reps between now and the end of the season
  21. John_Havok
    Pipelines dont matter when you dont want to spend the money to fill in the cracks. Look at Pittsburgh and several other low spending teams. Great young talent, might make a playoff appearance or two before they all get traded because ownership wont pony up what's needed to either retain their stars, or to fill the rosters holes.
  22. John_Havok
    For Berrios, do we get a fielder in the bleachers?
  23. John_Havok
    He should just retire .... I have to watch the games on mute when he's doing PBP

    "Analytics tells you what happened in the past, it doesn't tell you what's going to happen in the future." What will Buck? Your eyes? Pretty sure your eyes only tell you what happened in the past Batting average? Also past. Buck. Shut The f*** Up About Analytics

    Make that back to back with Horwitz. Even better
