  1. Bowden Francis was dealing for Buffalo tonight in his first start back from the IL (he threw 3 innings in Dunedin last week on a rehab assignment). 4 innings pitched, 7 Ks, 1 BB, 2 hits and 0 ER. 56 pitches and 38 of them strikes. Call him up and send Manoah down. And screw giving an IL designation to Manoah for a phantom injury. The dude has been complete ass and deserves the option and a service time freeze. He talks a huge game but he was out their laboring to the point that he just gave up on trying to hold runners. Total joke.
  2. Bowden Francis is pitching right now for Buffalo and he's got 7 Ks through 4 innings with 0 ER allowed. Swamp him and Manoah.
  3. Reported for politics
  4. I bet all of these people can renew at similar prices for damn good seats still, they just won't be right behind home plate. But who cares, Shapiro needs to keep the money machine rolling to keep the payroll up.
  5. Yeah that might be worth a shot. He could break but he can probably already go 3 innings.
  6. Yeah trading a Top 5 prospect plus a decent kicker for someone who Ernie Clement just pinch hit for isn't a good look lol
  7. Bowden Francis starts for Buffalo tonight. If he has a good start he needs to swap places with Manoah. It lines up perfectly. He can bring Horwitz with him and Biggio can hitch a ride with Manoah to Buffalo.
  8. The trades and FA signings seem to be pretty good considering neither of those is ever going to be perfect.
  9. They can't keep trotting Manoah out there like this. It's embarrassing. Option him today or tomorrow or put him on the DL with an injury. Today was brutal. He deliberately let the pitch clock tick down to 1 almost every pitch (for stamina reasons?? idk) and wasn't even trying to hinder the base runners from stealing. He finally got a few Ks but that's only because he was barely in the zone and had 5 walks as well. I'd probably send him down for Zach Thompson but use Pearson or Richards as a bulk reliever that game too. After one or two games hopefully Francis is back and then they can DFA Thompson after he is inevitably shelled to make room on the 40 man.
  10. Stottlemyre's Bloody Nut Sack is back after the loss. Dude was nowhere to be seen when we won 20-1 or when we are playing well in general.
  11. Yeah he is pressing so hard right now but I agree. He's just swinging at everything.
  12. Casey Lawrence or Zach Thompson might be better at this point anyway. Bowden Francis and Kloffenstein are probably the best guys who have a chance to stick but Francis is in A-Ball rehabbing and Kloff is in AA.
  13. I don't know what Otto Lopez's deal is but he started off extremely slow last year as well as this year. But just like last year he seems to be turning it around. 2022 slashline by month: April- .050/.136/.050 May- .221//.361/.368 June- .273/.298/.382 July- .299/.386/.494 August- .387/.432./.453 September- .291/.391/.327 2023: April- .160/.203/.240 May- .296/.361/.296
  14. Yeah Kloff would be an aggressive callup but should be considered. I think they should demote Manoah after the game no matter who they call up. For starters, his performance warrants it and whatever AAA slop that replaces him won't be any worse. They can call up Kloff or just use some slop like Zach Thompson until Francis is ready. Second, this play is just completely unacceptable and some changes need to be made. Sloppy base running, lethargic defense, garbage ABs, etc. The division has basically slipped away and it's going to be a dogfight to make the WC now in what looks like a pretty competitive year for it with the AL West being more competitive. So we need to make some changes. Manoah should be demoted, the hitting coach should get canned (it's not his fault but heads should roll), and they should also consider doing something like demoting Biggio and calling up Horwitz (no idea where he plays).
  15. This is hard to watch. -Fat Manoah deliberately letting the the clock dwindle down to 1 to try and labor through innings. -He's not even trying to watch the baserunners who are getting massive jumps. -His stuff is completely gone so even after he gets 0-2 counts he's struggling to put hitters away. -5 Ks but only bc the stuff is so bad he's barely in the zone and has also issued 5 walks. -God awful defense behind him.
  16. Bowden Francis just got back from injury. He probably needs another week at least but I think he's probably next up.
  17. I guess part of it too is that it seems like OF always has serviceable guys on the waiver wire. I just picked up Lane Thomas on the waiver wire but Conforto who is up to ten dingers now is sitting there as are others that might not be THAT much worse than Kirillof. Idk I don't love it but given what I need I might take it. Thanks for the feedback guys.
  18. My thinking is Kiriloff's stock will never be higher due to long term health and his hot start (which isn't necessarily backed up by his statcast data). Marte basically shores up my steals better than anyone else I could realistically get for the rest of the year and I am a perpetual contender in this league. Mauricio is a swing for the fences type of fantasy prospect with potential which I like in this format (14 team 5x5).
  19. I was offered Starling Marte and Ronny Mauricio for Alex Kirilloff in a 14 team dynasty. Marte is a drop at the end of the year due to the cost to keep him but I am dead last in steals in that league right now. What do you guys think? I'm leaning toward doing it.
  20. Gibby has more knowledge in bullpen management contained within the very tip of his pinky than Atkins and all of his computers have combined.
  21. Zulueta hasn't started a game in his last four appearances. His last two have only been an inning a piece. Is the plan to make him a reliever?
  22. They scored one in the 8th and then they scored 9 in the 9th inning with two outs. The Rays were using position pitchers.
