    Holy f*** - Alvarez needs to DH. You can't have him running in the OF.
  2. Brownie19
    Then we move him to DH when robo umps coming next year?
  3. Brownie19
    Isn't the argument that we should simply DH Kirk so he's in the lineup everyday? When you have a young Edgar Martinez on your team, he can't sit 2-3 times a week.

    I think most are underestimating or understating how much 'luck' is involved in constructing a good bullpen. I also don't give a f*** what they did with the pen in 2018 - in fact, I applaud them for not spending resources on the pen then when this team was nowhere near ready to contend. As the team moved into it's window to win, the FO has added Cimber, Richards, Garcia, Phelps and Merryweather. Outside of Cimber, these guys all have a ton of swing and miss stuff with K/9 over 9 and then you have our internal guys like Romano, Mayza and Pearson. Unfortunately, a lot of these guys aren't performing up to their abilities right now. You can bitch all you want that the FO 'should have known' Pearson and Merryweather are made of glass and can't be relied upon, but let's be honest, most pitchers are ticking time bombs.

    Biggio up to a 118 wRC+. That is so f***ing encouraging.
  6. Brownie19
    Julio Rodriguez is making the all star team right?
  7. Brownie19
    It's crazy that Moreno is hitting .324, but his wRC+ is <100
  8. Brownie19
    Yep - sounds like he's now realizing how much he misses being in Atlanta...
  9. Brownie19
    why on earth would you assume that and claim it's obvious?
  10. Brownie19
    You're unbelievable. Winker made obscene gestures to children, while Myles Straw only 'jawed with one fan'? You just love twisting it to suit your story. Give it a rest. I must be missing the video where Winker got into verbal altercations with multiple fans as I've only seen the video of him walking off giving the double bird - doesn't look like he says anything to anyone.
  11. Brownie19
    This is the only clip I've seen and it's a pretty standard double bird as he walks into the dugout. I don't think anyone went home with their feeling hurt that Winker flipped them off that day and he's already apologized. I think disgrace is too strong. What is really sad is that little girl who went to see Votto play (when he got tossed in the 1st inning) was at this game. She came to watch Winker and Suarez play and of course both got tossed out of the game after this brawl. All because Phil Nevin was butt hurt and decided to play old skoool baseball and purposely hit players and start a brawl. That's the disgrace.

    Maybe doubling his innings pitched at 23 wasn't a great idea...
  13. Brownie19
    Yes he has. I think he had an operation on it in 2018.
  14. Brownie19
    You think that's worse than Myles Straw jumping up on the fence to engage in a shouting match with a fan? Did Straw even get a fine or suspension for that? https://www.chron.com/sports/astros/article/Myles-Straw-Yankees-fans-yelled-hit-me-get-mad-17127122.php and...how the f*** are you comparing flipping the bird to some fans as you walk off to Mike Mulbury (and sever other players) climbing up into the stands and beating a fan with his own shoe? You're suggesting that flipping the bird to someone is what instigated those players actions and thus we should really punish any player who flips the bird because it could lead to a similar situation? I don't buy that. I see flipping the bird to someone as a pretty harmless and childish act. I agree players are held to a higher standard, but I also don't think fans should be allowed to scream and swear and do whatever they want to players either - kick those f***ing ****s out of the stadium. I'm not suggesting that MLB encourage it, but I just don't see it as really offensive in today's world.

    Kenley back to the IL with an irregular heartbeat. Awful news for him and the Braves. Hope he's OK soon.
  16. Brownie19
    Oh I agree - I was just responding to those who felt the double bird was such a disgrace. I doubt it had much impact. He was definitely in there throwing a ton of actual punches during the fight. Jomboy just did a long, good breakdown of it. Seems pretty clear that Phil Nevin sent the reliver in to throw at people because he's a little bitch. I've said this multiple times, if you don't like something they did to you or one of your players, then confront them and punch them in the face yourself. Sending a shitbag reliver in to start the game and throw at Julio's head is f***ing ********. Such a pussy move. This is one of those unwritten rule things that needs to phased out of baseball. I'm glad Winker didn't just go to first and then tell his pitcher to throw at one of their batters to 'get back at them'. That's nonsense.
  17. Brownie19
    That's what I figured. Probably size L as that will fit most people. I'm just bringing four 12 year old kids with me who are pumped about getting a free jersey. I don't think they'll be as pumped when they realize it won't fit them until they are 18.

    Is this really that disrespectful these days? If you're yelling and swearing at an athlete and they flip you the bird, do you stop and say "OMG, I can't believe he just did that really disrespectful thing - what a bad person". You have to be pushing 70 if you still get offended when someone flips you the bird don't you? I understand that's not a great thing for kids - but I guarantee you that people in the lower bowl could hear all kinds of cursing and swearing during the fight and the fight itself is all just as bad IMO as the double bird.
  20. Brownie19
    Agreed. I love me some Goldy. Super underrated player. I'd love to see him win MVP this year. He's going to need to age gracefully, but if he can, he has a shot at the HOF. Being in St. Louis now will help. For me, he's right up there with Votto and Freeman.

    Chapman's savant page suggests he's a lot closer to 2018-19 Chapman than the 2020-21 version - the actual production just seems to be lagging behind a bit. Hoping it's slowly starting to correct itself. My real question is what happened to the defense? The savant page shows his "outs above average" is only in the 27th percentile after it's been 90%+ his entire career (save the shortened 2020 season when he was coming off hip surgery). It this just an anomaly?
  22. Brownie19
    Thanks BC. This prompted me to look at Berrios' savant page and I just threw up in my mouth a little. It's a f***ing horrible boys. Don't go look.
  23. Brownie19
    I agree with this - although I don't think you'll have much success if he's your 7th inning guy in the playoffs.
  24. Brownie19
    This may be a dumb question, but are the replica jerseys they give away a 1 size fits all thing? They don't have smaller youth ones eh?
  25. Brownie19
    Awesome - thank you my friend. We'll aim to be there 2.5 hours before game time and will hope for the best.
