    And yet the OIlers can't be upset at their effort or game plan. They carried the play, got way more chances and just got stoned by a hot goalie. Stick to that and they likely come home 1-1.

    oh i agree its pathetic to throw him out for a sign, but the level of ignorance to equate it to a Freedom of Speech issue is just as pathetic.

    You're actually so far past wrong it's astounding.

    HIs velo seems down, hes usually up around 94.

    What pathetic is equating Freedom Of Speech with a sign at a baseball game

    Eh? No, I think DFAing Biggio is a mistake when guys like Vogelbach are still here. Biggio gives you defensive flex and speed. Horwitz gives you maybe the same OBP, likely the same or worse power, slowest footspeed on the team likely except for Kirk and Vogelbach, and no defensive utility. Replacing Biggio with Horwitz is just dumb, unless Horwitz is set to magically increase his game power at the big league level

    Nobody is paying 10/250 for a 1b/DH who can't hit at least 40 bombs on the regular. 8/168 for Olsen sets the bar. Vlad isn't anything close to Olsen even being several years younger when he signs his deal. Same deal for Freeman though a larger discrepancy in age. If Vlad was hitting like even 85% of 2021 Vlad and had been for the past 3 seasons. And continued to do right up until.his contract expired, sure 300 million might be on the table. Zero teams will pay 300 million for a 3war 1b/DH

    Yeah its just stipud to cross 3 time zones in 7 days. Usually when you go west, you play at least 2 series on the coast, sometimes 3, then come home.

    What kind of ******** roadtrip is 3 in Oakland and then 3 in Milwaukee?
  10. John_Havok
    Did you know players get paid extra to be mic'd up? $10,000 for wearing the 2-way wire for at least 1 inning.

    One thing I did not expect was a Cake reference today. Excellent
  12. John_Havok
    Still a very cromulent bench piece.
  13. John_Havok
    Why not? People park on driveways and drive on parkways.

    I agree with the timing of the chance, but not when the LF got to it so easily. If it was the RF gap and the CF was going into RF and had to turn and throw off his back foot...sure.
  15. John_Havok
    Looks out to me, fromt hand made it first but when it came off the back hand wasn't there yet and the tag was still on him
  16. John_Havok
    I'm trying to picture that DP happening with Vlad at 3rd and Horwitz at 2b...I'm having trouble seing it completed.
  17. John_Havok
    Holy god...and IF with Horwitz at 2b, vlad at 3rd, Bichette at SS and Turner at first? So much for IF defense being a priority
  18. John_Havok
    AA will claim him and he'll find his power stroke overnight and be a 5 fWAR monster by next season. Tampa is another team that would jump at a high floor guy
  19. John_Havok
    I would have turfed Vogelbach, as much as Biggio is a let down with the bat, his defensive utility and speed make him a far better option for a bench role. Horwitz is maybe a league average bat, with below average everything else. All they did was get slower and less versatile defensively with another 1b/DH. I don't care where they've been trying him at AAA, he's not a 2b. 131 PA for Biggio, still put up .5 fWAR. Total 1761 PA, 6.5 fWAR. He's not a nothing burger, but hes sure not what you thinkmof as a league aevrage regular either. As much as I dislike watching him hit, this team will miss his skillet if Horwitz hasnt taken a very big leap in the game power department

    I was going to mention this also, it's the same with Vlad. Overall pull rate might be similar to 2021 last year but it was mostly groundballs. This year, highest groundball rate of his career, lowest pull rate of his career. I'm not sure but it seems awfully coincidental that his damage against fastballs is also garbage. Whatever approach is being preached to him, it's completely df***ing wrong for a guy with his power ability. He should be looking inner half fastballs to put into the LF seats, instead, the only HRs he hits are hanging breaking balls that anyone could hit out and hangers really don't come around that often.
  21. John_Havok
    Yeah, it's just truly boring to watch
  22. John_Havok
    They're all the same people.who said "if healthy, the Yankees could be great"
  23. John_Havok
    75th percentile sprint speed. Speed is the one tool he actually has.
  24. John_Havok
    Nothing would be sweeter than walking off Pigf***er McGee 2.0
  25. John_Havok
    With IKF at 2b and Turner at 1b This has to fall in the "just to do something different" file because it's objectively pretty dumb.
