  1. That's what it seems like to me to but that doesn't really jive with "bringing the fences in" does it?
  2. So the fences are coming in?
  3. He's just so damn young I'm not terribly concerned about a 10 or even 12 year extension for him as long as they AAV is around 25 mil or less. That would be through his age 33-35 seasons. Even if he's a 1.5 to 2 WAR player by the time he's 33 a deal like that won't kill us.
  4. There's almost nothing left on the market for the Twins. At a minimum they could get Luke Voit who sucks but in their sorry state might actually help. Profar is probably the best guy left and isn't exactly an impact bat either but he would also help.
  5. Gallo is no longer the guy you put in at the 8 spot and hope he can hit while providing some decent defense and base running. He's now a middle of the order bat that they are relying on to produce. Yikes.
  6. Yeah that lineup sucks so bad. They need to make another trade.
  7. Not only is Espinal better than most of the other twelve slap hitters that they have on their roster, he's also a lot cuter which I know she really cares about as well! Send some chocolates to her office and give her a call ASAP Ross!
  8. Lol I've been telling you all that this lady running the Marlins simply cannot get enough of these slap hitters!! Lmao she just cannot help herself. Trade her Espinal for another one of their starting pitchers please
  9. Vlad can't even must a "best shape of his life" quote this time around so you know we was fat and lazy this offseason.
  10. Not once have I ever jumped off a roof while smoking weed. Yes, it's happened a couple of other times while smoking other substances but never weed.
  11. Lol I legit thought you were directing it at jaysblue my bad
  12. Yeah they screwed up this offseason and it's going to have big implications for next year. Even if things break right for them, they'll need a minimum of 2 starting pitchers next year and one of them needs to be top of the line. If Grayson Rodriguez doesn't look like a frontline starter then both of them probably need to be top tier. If things don't break right for them then they might need 3 or even 4 starting pitchers. Impossible for them to accomplish in 1 offseason. And that's just their rotation. The bullpen will need work. But among the non-Rutschman-Henderson-Mullins position player group, I think most of them project to be sub 2 WAR players moving forward. Their prospects will help but they'll need to make a couple of signings here as well. Add it all up and these cheapskates are going to need a monumental offseason to whip this team into a contender in 2024. We are probably talking upwards of $200 to $300 million dollars worth of contracts. And given their history I don't see it happening.
  13. Wow! Someone woke up a little bit cranky this morning!
  14. This is why they are a garbage franchise Jim
  15. O’s bring back Machado lol
  16. Well if just general excitement no matter who wins is your criteria then Game 2 against the M's would rank up there with Carter's home run game?
  17. Please enlighten me on which game was worse than losing a playoff elimination game after having an 8-1 lead in the 6th lol
  18. Right, so their Opening Day starter is Kyle Gibson lol. Fair to say that their rotation sucks at least?
  19. "Suck" is a pretty subjective term that I'm using loosely. Are they going to be 62-100 like they seemingly have for the past decade? No. (But with that pitching staff they might be closer than you think.) Are they a sucky franchise who are going to waste the luck they've gotten with some of their prospects? Absolutely and they're proving it right now. They aren't smart like the Rays but they seem to want to spend like them. They also "Suck" because they had a -14 RD and act like they won the Wild Card spot. They did almost nothing to improve a bad team other than rely on their youth while the Jays and Yanks got better and the Rays are still hanging around. So in those ways yes, I think they suck and I'm not scared of them at all. They'll be competing with the Red Sox to avoid the cellar.
  20. Another thing to remember is that Grayson Rodriguez probably has a pretty significant innings cap. He's thrown over 100 innings once in his career to date. Last year he threw 75.
  21. Just have to outbid them. Throw another year on there and they probably get him. They should have been in on Verlander and DeGrom as well. Their payroll is so pathetically low that if they signed Verlander to 50 mil a year for 2 years it'd still be a below average payroll. If they couldn't stomach spending on one of those guys then they should have gone after at least 2 guys in the 2nd tier.
  22. I can see why they didn't spend on the offense. I think a lower tier OF would have made some sense though. But they definitely needed starting pitching. They project to have the 4th worst starting rotation in the league based on WAR projections. Rodon made tons of sense for them even with the high price tag. Failing that I think some mid tier guys with high upside like Heaney or Tyler Anderson would have been big for them as well. They needed like 2 or 3 mid tier guys. Instead they dumpster dove for Gibson and now they've got Grayson Rodriguez and a collection of backend guys with almost no depth. They basically wasted a year of this core by solidifying themselves into 4th place.
  23. Yeah like Laika said in some sort of bizzarely boastful way I can say I was there. Anytime we play the Mariners that game is being brought up and the highlights will be shown. It's basically the pinnacle moment in the garbage Mariners' franchise history. I can say I was there and everyone can laugh at me. If we win another World Series that will definitely take the sting off but it almost needs to be won with this core group. Or at least with a key player from 2022 like Vlad leading the charge. It's been pretty disappointing that in the past two years we've got nothing to show with a team this talented. Hopefully 2023 makes up for it in a big way.
  24. https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/depth-charts/red-sox Outside of Devers that lineup looks like the Oakland A's lol. Loving Kike Hernandez starting at SS and batting 2nd.
