  1. Likely because he's a zero vs. LHP.
  2. Why the f*** would a platoon right fielder who's a 2.5-3.5 WAR player get $100M? He's awful vs. LHP and a career 105 wRC+ Swisher was arguably better than Reddick when the Indian's signed him...a much better hitter.
  3. I wonder if he couldn't do as much cardio due to the Achilles injury.
  4. If Venditte needs Tommy John surgery on one of his elbows, could he conceivably come back after a few months (to a point where the elbow is stable enough to catch the ball) and pitch solely with his other arm while he rehabs the injured elbow? That would be pretty cool. Most likely he'd have to blow out his right elbow and come back as a LOOGY.
  5. Given how Evoldi doesn't use his big curve much - this was a pretty good matchup for Smoak...
  6. against s***** competition.
  7. It appears Storen tinkers with his mechanics a lot. I remember watching videos of his leg drive and he used little to no leg kick at all. This season, I see a high leg kick and I wondered what's up. After a little youtubin' I see a video uploaded in 2011 he had the high leg kick and no leg kick in video uploaded 2012 (for the same company). high leg kick - low leg kick - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZKvJY6gDfg Here's another article on some significant mechanical changes he made - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/nationals-journal/wp/2013/11/22/inside-drew-storens-turnaround/ I don't know exactly what this means (possibly nothing), but I'm a tad worried that what we see is what we're going to get.
  8. Last year Cecil made a slight mechanical adjustment after being taken out of the closers role. Maybe he needs more adjusting...
  9. Why? Outside of his 2014 season....which certainly looks like an outliner, Martin is only a 105-115 wRC+ hitter
  10. Wouldn't it be nice if we had a legitimate threat on the bench?
  11. Goose and Buck approve this. It's part of the game.
  12. That's how you slide into 2nd. Why is that so f***ing hard?
  13. Because they need something to talk about on TV.
  14. I think you guys underestimate how challenging it is to uproot yourself, your family, sell your house and leave a team and city you've been in/with for 7-8 years. Deal with the fact the franchise that built a team around you no longer wants you and then you have to move to a different country, adjust to a new league and teammates all within ONE week....and are expected to perform as well as you always have. I think some do this better than others - but to simply dismiss this in all situations is a little short-sighted.
  15. I fail to see the fault in Tom's approach...
  16. Martin's a career 106 wRC+ hitter. We all knew he wasn't going to provide a lot of offense right? Especially as he ages. We should expect him to be a .230-.240 hitter who walks a lot and hits the odd dinger. Nothing more.
  17. I wonder if he makes love in an old school manner...
  18. Hazel Mae. Obvs.
  19. seriously?
  20. The problem is you'll also complain if they lose Leon and/or send Biangini back and then get hit with injures and end up using Funsto Carmona and the boys because we don't have any depth...
  21. Jose would look good playing 1st with Cola/Smoak on another team and a solid player in RF...maybe Pompey. Then I'd love to see a Brock Holt type player with versatility on the bench. There sure is a massive need for those type of players these days.
  22. You're drinking buddies with Burkie? Nice. Do you know Cringer?
  23. I never knew Barker played for the baycats. I googled "Kevin barker Barrie baycats" and the first search is what must have been the 'old' board and a post from The Hurl claiming a baycats player heard from Barker that Burke got fired by he's the father of Hazel Mae's kid...said this news was going public soon. 1. Did this come out public? 2. I know sex is sex, but Hazel Mae is gross. Why do people f*** her? 3. Who'd ya know on the baycats? I play against a few old baycat rejects.
  24. Pillar could have shut up in the spring. Gabby didn't want to hurt his feelings. Obvs. I blame Pillar.
